The topic of my research paper is how the movie "A Besutiful Mind" portrayed John Nash's life in a unrelaistic way. My objective in my research paper is also to show that people living with Scizophrenia can be managed and treated but still the actual events in John Nash's life have been candy coated for the movie. My first source is one I found on Lesix Nexis the Authors name is Alex Tunzelmann . The paper it's published in is "The Gaurdian" and the name of the article is "A beautiful mind hides ugly truths".  The relevant information this source provides is facts about John Nash's life such things as what was actualy said at a awards ceremony and his serious problems with his marriage. The argument of this paper is that Hollywood surger coated John Nash's life in a big way to make the movei. I chose this source because it spoke of things that other articles didn't bring up about his personal life. I need more soources then this to write a esssay but this was good for one small source of information. I think this source fits my research topic because I feel that Schiznophrenia is hushed up in our society and not talked about and when Hollywood goes to make a movie abut it it would problaly be surger coated.

   The other article I am useing for my reseach paper was written by Andy Seiler and was pubished in USAToday  i found on Lexis Nexis. The articles name is "A beautiful mind not factual". The relevent informaton this article brings is that John Nash's life story was re-written for this movie. Allot of the work Nash did was before his phycotic episodes but in the movie it shows him working while halucinating which is incorect. The argument that the author is pushing is once again the same narrative as the last article that John Nash lived a completely different life then what was filmed in the Hollywood movie. The perspective this source adds to my essay is very good and will help me write about how serious Schizophrenia is and how disabilitateing it is. No one can do Pultzer Prize winning anything while phycotic. Also I want to bring in to my essay that like John Nash one can live with this disease and do fairly well. I chose this source of information because I want to use it in my essay along with allot more other sources. This source fits my research topic because it reveals how disabled John Nash lead a different life then the movie.

"Observers and friends say the movie takes such liberties with the facts that it hardly depicts Nash's life at all."

" A Beautiful Mind's representaion of Schiznophrania is affecting, but allot of Nash's rough edges have been sanded off."
