Pub Scene Analysis
Every director has his or her own little techniques or ways of hinting the audience about the certain characters in their movies. Ron Howard does a tremendous job of revealing John Nash's abnormal talent for seeing patterns, equations, and even coming up with new theories. In the most important scene in the movie, I believe, Howard puts all the pieces together perfectly to explain Nash's Nobel Prize winning Game Theory. The scene takes place in a musty old pub. Light from the lamps hanging above each table and an eerie cigarette smoke fill the air. The tables are dark brown, old looking, and look like they have been around for a while. Surrounding the tables are red vinyl chairs that have no arms, but have backs that reach the upper back. There is an old fashioned jukebox in the background and pinball machine as well. A pool table is situated in the back of the room; it is surrounding by a bunch of guys that are playing a game of pool at the time. It starts off with five women, around their twenties, enter the cluttered pub. Among the ladies is a beautiful blonde bombshell. She immediately stands out from the others and all eyes in the pub are suddenly glued to her, especially t
That's the only way we win, that's the only way we all get laid. Nash stares deeply at the girl but sees her in four or five blurry images that quickly come together and form the beautiful face of the blonde. This is the climax of the scene because Nash finally put all three major pieces of the puzzle together and defines his revision in a whole. The girls quickly fade away and the blonde moves towards the camera and is shot from the waist up. This complete scene perfectly illustrates what Nash sees as he thinks up his theory. This segment of the scene explains the first part of Nash's explanation. " Nash calls this Governing Dynamics and states that Adam Smith is wrong. This is a great example of low key lighting because the background is very dark but the blonde is well lit and very able to see. Nash and his buddies become the main focus of the shot; his buddies laugh at him but the laughter quickly comes to a halt because they realize that there is some truth in what Nash is saying. The girls become transparent as they walk away and vanish into the dark and mysterious background. Suddenly Nash jumps forward in his seat and start talking frantically with his hands and speaking back and forth between all four buddies. This is the second part of Nash explanation: "Then we go for her friends, but they give us the cold shoulder because nobody likes to be second choice. he eyes of Nash and his four buddies. The focus moves close up to Nash speaking to one particular friend but his friend is blurred and Nash is sharp and in focus.
