Check out John Nash's autobiographical sketch for the Nobel prize. I don't know whether he delivered this autobiographical information as part of his speech--but it's pretty apparent that he wasn't tossing roses at his wife.

What I do know is I am bloody upset with Ron Howard for distorting Nash's speech in acceptance of the prize and all the love language horse hockey Howard's writers put into the script.

I get so furious with Hollywood for completely distorting biography. They did it with Jacqueline Du Pré's life--and they've apparently (Mr. Howard, to blame here) did it with John Nash.

A bloody speech is a bloody speech--and to romanticize the speech just to get one final warm fuzzy feeling out of the audience makes me want to throw up.

Off my bloody box,
