beautiful graphing calculator mind


The story begins in the early years of John Nash (Russel Crowe), studied at Princeton University and develops his "original idea" that will revolutionize the world of mathematics. Early in the movie, Nash begins developing paranoid schizophrenia and endures delusional episodes while painfully watching the loss and burden his condition brings on his wife and friends. Princeton headmaster informs Nash that he has missed many of his classes. A particularly harsh rejection from a woman at the bar inspires his fruitful work in the concept of governing dynamics, a mathematical economics’s theory.

Nash became a lecturer in MIT later. When his student Alicia Larde (Jennifer Connelly) comes to his office, they later fall in love and marry. He also encounters a mysterious Department of Defense agent, William Parcher. In these periods of time he used to be found scribbling math formulas with chalk on window panes, his favorite pass time was trying to find a new spectacular idea on math, observing birds’ movements, and tracing Soviet plot given by Parcher. He gives Nash a new assignment to look for patterns in magazines and newspapers.

From the way this movie described, his mind was functioning as graphing calculators with many aspects and formulas, jumbled with all kinds of numbers and figures. His mind, which became like graphing calculators, was a good visualization tool for the audience to understand his beautiful mind. Nash approaches his old friend Martin Hansen, head of the Princeton mathematics department, who grants him permission to work out of the library and audit classes, although the university will not provide him with his own office. Even though Nash still suffers from hallucinations and mentions taking newer medications from his graphing calculators mind, he is ultimately able to live with and largely ignore his psychotic episodes.

The Debt Collector : A repentant, reformed ex-convict versus a brooding, bitter and vengeful cop

The story begins with Nick Dryden (Billy Connolly), a former debt collector that has just been released from prison after serving 16 years for murder. In the past, Nicky was Edinburgh's most notorious and violent criminal, but his rehabilitation has worked wonders. He now becomes a lauded writer and sculptor. As he is now a free man, he married to his successful journalist wife (Francesca Annis) and work in the art world for his strikingly disturbing sculptures.

The former policeman who arrested him, Gary Keltie (Ken Stott), resents Dryden's new-found success and wants to sabotage it. Gary does this because he is depressed by the futility of his job, cannot pay the debt, and alone in the world except for his aging mother. He can't forget the past and suddenly cast a public hate campaign for Nick, exacerbated by the presence of a violent teenager in thrall to Dryden's murderous past. Adolescent gangster Flipper, who is also obsessed by Dryden, gets along with Keltie to destroy Nick’s life.

Movie director Anthony Neilson promises a suspenseful revenge drama, turning on the thrilling theme of Nick's defense against atonement and reform, contrasted with Keltie's obsessive crusade. A repentant, reformed ex-convict is harassed by a brooding, bitter and vengeful cop. That is an unlikely proposition. The story tells us about how a grunted person can destroy someone’s life. Bad financial situation can bring you to a total disaster. So, if you want to take loans, make sure those are good loans, like Student Loans, Private Student Loans or College Loans.

Celebrity Talk about finance: what Stephen King said about credit card


Every person has their own financial problem, even with celebrities. The highest celebrity problem with credit is sport stars, and number two is a movie stars. Mike Tyson, or Paul Mc.Cartney is just some example of them. Why they got problem with their credit? It is because of their lifestyle, or mismanagement of their money.

Let’s see what Stephen King, best-selling author ("Misery," "Carrie," "The Dark Tower," "The Green Mile") said about credit : Stephen can remember coming home one day – He was working two jobs, teaching school and working in the summer in the New Franklin laundry to make ends meet -- and having his wife say, "Give me your wallet." And he gave her his wallet. And at this time everybody was giving out credit cards, you didn't need to apply or anything, they just sent their plastic everywhere, and she took the gasoline credit cards and she had these shears and she cut them all up. Stephen later said, but we're paying our bills, and she said, "No, we're paying the interest. We can't afford to anymore. We've got to pay as we go."

The lesson learned here are: Don't use credit cards to create a lifestyle that your paycheck doesn't support. Understand how much of the credit card bill is interest charges. If you are in debt, contact your credit repair management, repair credit, or go to credit repair service. Using credit cards to finance a business venture can be risky. Not everyone can pen a successful book to cover the accumulated debt. Pay as you go. Credit cards may be essential in modern life, but don't let them rule your life.

Letter from Iwojima, story about friendship, loyalty, and honor

Letter from Iwojima received 4 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Named 2006's best film by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Board of Review. Also known as "Red Sun, Black Sand.". Letter from Iwojima based on the nonfiction books "Gyokusai sōshikikan" no etegami by General Tadamichi Kuribayashi and So Sad To Fall In Battle: An account of War.

Movie review =

Described this film with three words= “friendship, loyalty, and honor.” All begins from 2nd world war, when US troops invasion to Japan, setting in Iwojima Island. Poor nutrition and unsanitary conditions take their toll on the garrison; many die of dysentery. The Japanese beach defenses are quickly overcome and the attack turns to the defensive positions on Mount Suribachi. General Kuribayashi orders a retreat northward, but the Suribachi commander instead orders his men to commit suicide; Kuribayashi saves Saigo's life a third time. Kuribayashi and his remaining troops launch their final attack, and Kuribayashi is critically wounded. Summoning his last reserves of strength, the very weak Kuribayashi asks Saigo to bury him so that nobody will find him. Kuribayashi draws his pistol and shoots himself in the chest. Saigo carries away the dead general and buries his body.

This film already received best critic from Rolling Stone= “Eastwood's direction here is a thing of beauty, blending the ferocity of the classic films of Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai) with the delicacy and unblinking gaze of Yasujiro Ozu (Tokyo Story).”
