With another Valentine’s Day upon us and following the release of the controversial and much anticipated fantasist S&M-laden “romance” 50 Shades of Grey, we take a look at what we think are 5 more intriguing and altogether realistic movie love stories based on true events, with a generous sprinkle of Hollywood “dramatic license” of course.
The story of brilliant American mathematician and Nobel Laureate John Nash (Russel Crowe) and his battles with paranoid schizophrenia which plague him throughout his life causing tension and suffering for those around him, none more so than his wife Alicia (Jennifer Connelly) whose love endures the effects of John’s condition in this heavily dramatized Academy Award-winning picture from Director Ron Howard (Apollo 13, Cocoon).
Directed by Ron Howard and starring Russel Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris among many others.
