1. Who is/are the main character (s) of the story?
 The main character of this film is John Forbes Nash, a brilliant mathematician, antisocial  man and   somewhat arrogant.

2. What is the first complication of the story ?
The first complication of the story is when John Nash had a great hallucination about the people around him. He imagined that he had a roommate named Charles, Marcee who Charles' young niece, and Pacher who a mysterious supervisor of the United States Deparment Of Defense. But actually they didn’t real.

John Nash had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He lifelong struggled with his mental health. In fantasy he seems to be in membership of the secret (intelligence) that the U.S. defense department was doing the tracking of Russian bombing to be carried out. Although the desease made his wife scared, but Alicia loved him so much. In 1994, John Nash was awarded the Nobel prize in Economics.

4. Write the synopsis of the movie !


In 1947 John Forbes Nash enrolled as a graduate student at Princeton University. Nash preferred to spend his time with his thoughts, which were primarily of seeing mathematical formula associated with everyday occurrences, than with people.

He is co-recipient with Martin Hansen of the prestigious Carnegie Scholarship for mathematician.
Nash comes under increasing pressure to publish, both from the mathematics department chairman and in the form of rivalry with Hansen. But he refuses until he finds a truly original idea. His inspiration comes when he and his fellow graduate students discuss how to approach a group of women at a bar. 


Hansen quotes Adam Smith and advocates "every man for himself", but Nash argues that a cooperative approach would lead to better chances of success. This leads to a new concept of governing dynamics which Nash develops and publishes. He got his doctorte. On the strength of this he is offered an appointment at MIT where Sol and Bender join him.

Some years later, Nash is invited to the Pentagon to crack encrypte enemy telecommunication. Nash is able to decipher the code mentally, to the astonishment of other codebreakers. He considers his regular duties at MIT uninteresting and beneath his talents, so he is pleased to be given a new assignment by mysterious supervisor William Parcher of United States Deparment Of  Defense. Nash becomes increasingly obsessive about searching for these hidden patterns and believes he is followed when he delivers his results to a secret mailbox.




John married with Alicia Larde, his student at the college and the had a child.  
While delivering a guest lecture at Harvard University, Nash attempts to flee from what appear to be foreign agents, led by Dr. Rosen. After punching Rosen in an attempt to flee, Nash is forcibly sedated and sent to a psychiatric facility. He believes the facility is run by the Soviets who are trying to extract information from him.

Dr. Rosen tells Alicia that Nash has schizophrenia and that Charles, Marcee and Parcher exist only in his imagination. Nash is given a course of insulin shock therapy and eventually released.
Against Dr. Rosen's advice, Nash decides not to restart his medication, believing that he can deal with his symptoms in another way. Alicia decides to stay and support him in this.


In 1994, Nash is honored by his fellow professors for his achievement in mathematics, and goes on to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. The movie ends as Nash and Alicia leave the auditorium in Stockholm. Nash saw Charles, Marcee, and Parcher standing to one side and watching him.
