December 26, 2001 — USA Today reports that the movie takes some creative liberties with John Forbes Nash Jr.'s life:
Some changes no one disputes:
Nash's first son and his mother are not in the film. Nash has one and only one relationship, with his wife, Alicia, in the film.
The film depicts the Nashes as having a loving, supportive marriage, and there is no mention of their 1963 divorce or subsequent remarriage last June.
The film shows Nash as a staunch anti-communist during the Cold War, but in reality, many of his colleagues were suspected of being communist sympathizers.
Nash is shown being deep in the grip of visual hallucinations in graduate school, long before he did his greatest work in game theory. He is shown believing that he could see, talk to and even be driven in cars by imaginary people.
