According to Aristotle, the best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and
his destiny. Theycontain reversals of fortune, moments of recognition, and,
ultimately, a catharsis. Dr. John Nash'slife -- his early brilliance, his
struggle with mental illness, and his slow, willful recovery -- is definitelythe
stuff of Greek tragedy. He describes his experiences, in these excerpts from an
in-depthinterview.
Randy MacLowry, producer and co-writer of A Brilliant Madness, talks about
his experiences makinga documentary on John Nash. He shares some of the
misconceptions he had about schizophrenia,the challenges of conveying the
emotional aspects of Nash's story and the ideas behind a few ofthe shots in the
film.
