Assume the Position 201 with Mr. Wuhl2007

Robert Wuhl:
Now, when we hear the term "based on a true story", we generally don't think about books, do we? We usually think about it in movies. For example, this movie: "A Beautiful Mind". It told the inspiring story of mathematician John Nash who went from schizophrenia to the Nobel Prize into the arms of the woman he loved. The end. Now, the filmmakers did leave out a few details of Nash's life. They left out the fact that John Nash fathered a child out of wedlock and was a deadbeat dad. They left out the fact that John Nash, when delusional, went on anti-Semitic rants that would have made Mel Gibson go, "Holy f***!" And they left out the fact that previously, John Nash had unusual interest in men away from the arms of the woman he loved. Leaving out these details changes the story a little bit, doesn't it? I mean, this would be life making "O.J.": he went from junior college to the Heisman Trophy in the arms of the woman he loved. The end.
