Movies.

Recently I picked up a new interest of watching movies. This friend of mine used to love watching movies at wee hours (cos that is when he has his me-time). So when he taught me how to download (which I only figured that out last year), I went crazy downloading movies. And soon it became a habit to watch at least 1 movie per week. Well its perfect for someone without a social life to be a loser who stays home all time.

So this week I managed to watch 2 great movies- A beautiful mind & Fogetting Sarah Marshall. Absolutely love a beautiful mind, its really a beautiful piece of work! As I was so into the character of John Nash (esp when I often study his game theory in econs), I decided to google him up. Its interesting when I found out that the real life of John Nash was nowhere near the movie. Yeah undeniably true that he's a genius but whatever thats left of him was really nothing amazing. But I was deeply touched by the courage of his wife (in the movie), with how she dealt with hardships and never gave up. It got me thinking about how brave a woman could be, to stay beside her spouse, the person she loves, without knowing what will happen next. But in reality, that didn't happen unfortunately. They divorced, but got back together later on when he won the noble prize for his master piece.

Anyway, thats not the point of this post. For those who haven't watch, please do. Its worth all your time I promise.

Everytime I  study about game theory, I could feel some kind of connection with John Nash. Haha I know its really lame.. but at least that gives the oh-so-boring economics a little spice.

Happy easter everyone!

Love,
