i really do not get all the adulation that this film have receive . it mawkish and unnecessarily manipulative and dodge many of the big issue ie nash affair and his predilection for have sex with men in public place . that and i suppose and in the context of a commercial hollywood film be just about tolerable and but what with all the praise for russell crowe performance . the man just seem to shuffle about and clutch his briefcase and wear a grungy hat and somehow that seem to qualify a fine act . anyone who have ever know a person with mental health problem will realise that crowe performance be little short of caricature . it be also rather offensive . and and dare i say and just on the right side of be truly terrible .
