Comfortable and easy to use

They are very comfortable and at most settings the highs are crisp and clear and the bass response is exact. Setup was a breeze even when I used different devices. Lightweight and easy to carry around.

Amazing

If you want to understand a loved one's brain illness, this movie will show you what it is like. Of course it becomes confusing, because the movie portrays John Nash's hallucinations as real as they were to him. Family & loved ones of anyone who experiences visual hallucinations or auditory hallucinations need to watch this true story. To actually understand someone with a brain/mental illness, you have to walk in their shoes. This movie does that for the viewer.

A great story! A close look at a genius mind and schizophrenia

June 16, 2018

Recommended to me by a close friend. The movie is sad, yet some how impowering. The story sheds light on mental illness, a particularly misunderstood, and widely stigmatized area of mental illness. A true story of determination, genius, guts, love, and schizophrenia. We still to this day know only limited information on this particular disease, yet if you ask anyone they will most likely have a distorted and uneducated opinion on what it means to suffer from schizophrenia and can describe an unclear and hazy image of a person and what they might look like and be like, even what their life might be like with the illness.
The movie uses the effects of the illness in a genius way to help us understand who the main character is and what he goes through everyday. I enjoyed the movie, and was intrigued by the life of this mathematical genius. Perhaps our world would be much different if he wasn't schizophrenic, if he wasn't a math genius, if his life wasn't his life. I found myself wanting to know more about this person, the disease, and why we still know so little about it.
I loved that at the end of the movie, I was left with the thought that no matter what you go through, it's really how you deal with it that can be either very sad and depressing or uplifting, motivating, even impowering. We all have a choice on how we deal with things that happen to us, and this movie is an interesting example of what it looks like to want something, to be something that consumes your thoughts your life to the point that even something as serious as schizophrenia might change how your mind sees that something and what the path looks like to achieve it, but wont derail you, because you refuse to let it... and what if that path is actually a better one, a clearer one?

My Favorite Ron Howard Film

July 11, 2018

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

A Beautiful Mind is the real life story of a genius mathematician. Ron Howard directs with a tender understanding of this man's fragile mental state. We see the brilliant mind of John Nash reduced over time with paranoia.

Howard crafts the sincere beginnings of a hopeful mathematician to the paranoid struggle of a broken man. A Beautiful Mind builds empathy for Nash with Roger Deakins' gorgeous shots and James Horner's haunting score. The somber notes swell from lovely to lonely moods.

Russell Crowe is inspired as John Nash. He plays the character with such sympathy and nuance. You feel for Nash and his plight because of how realistically genuine Crow portrays Nash.

Furthermore, Jennifer Connelly is incredible as Nash's wife. She suffers just as much as he does, but in a different way. Connelly's capability to demonstrate a working wife struggling to provide for her family at odds is something to behold.

Similarly, Ed Harris and Paul Bettany play fascinating supporting roles. You watch their characters take on a whole new meaning by the end. The way that Harris and Bettany play these roles is shocking and entertaining to the last frame with them.

Lastly, I love Christopher Plummer's smaller cameo role as the Dr. Rosen. He is empathetic and intriguing in his performance. We get to see Plummer dive into how to speak to someone troubled with a level of respect and understanding.

Overall, I think most audiences will love A Beautiful Mind. Every since it was released in 2001, I have had this movie burned into my mind. It is memorable evermore.
