Thought and Speech Disorder

According to Wiramihardja 2005, schizophrenic person sometimes suddenly shouting to say his word, 57 it also happens with the main character in A Beautiful Mind. There is a scene when Nash tells Charles that he tries to find his original idea, he works out dense calculations on the leaded-glass windows of his dorm room and dismisses classroom instruction as “the findings of lesser mortals.” He emphasizes the word of “lesser mortals” with high tone. From the Figure 71 below, we see people looking up when they heard Nash shouting. Figure 71 John Nash : You know half these schoolboys are already published? I cannot waste time with these classes... and these books. Memorizing the weaker assumptions of lesser mortals Another scene also shows that Nash suddenly shouting to say his word. It happens when Nash spends his days in library. Nash tells Charles that he cannot even find a topic for his doctorate while his friend already published another paper. Nash tells Charles again that he is trying to find his original idea. Yet, Charles interrupts Nash’s sentence and asks when Nash last eat. He tells Nash that he has no respect for cognitive reverie and only has enormous respect for pizza and beer. Later, Charles is going outside library and followed by Nash which says “I have respect for beer” in high tone. From the Figure 72 below, we see other people looking at Nash because he is shouting. 57 Sutardjo A. Wiramihardja 2005, op. cit. p. 143 Figure 72 John Nash : See, if I could derive an equilibrium... where prevalence is a non-singular event, where nobody loses, can you imagine the effect that would have... on conflict scenarios, and arms negotiations... Charles : When did you last eat? When did you last eat? John Nash : currency exchange? Charles : You know food. John Nash : You have no respect for cognitive reverie, you know that? Charles : Yes. But pizza- Now, pizza I have enormous respect for. And of course beer. John Nash : I have respect for beer. I have respect for beer Paranoid schizophrenic has coherent in his thoughts and statements. He is capable to tell how people are plotting against him. 58 This is also shown when Nash tells that the Russians are spying him and asks someone to call the Department of Defense because they are trying to arrest him. John Nash : […] Stop I dont know anything Stop I- I dont know anything My name is John Nash. Im being held against my will. Somebody call the Department of Defense. My name is John Nash. Im being held against my will Nash also tells Alicia that the Russian plotted against him. His stating it quite coherently that he is doing top secret work for government and the Russians try to stop his work by keeping him in psychiatric hospital because they feels threatened. In Figure 73, we see Nash tells the story with curios looking around 58 Ibid, p. 146. because he afraid that Russian heard what he is going to say. In Figure 74, we see Alicia’s expression when she heard Nash is telling his story. Figure 73 Figure 74 John Nash : Everythings gonna be all right. Everythings gonna be all right. We just have to talk quietly. They may be listening. There may be microphones. Im gonna tell you everything now. Its breaking with protocol... but you need to know, because you have to help me get out of here. Ive been doing top secret work for the government. Theres a threat that exists... of catastrophic proportions. I think the Russians feel my profile is too high. Thats why they simply just dont do away with me. Theyre keeping me here to try to stop me... from doing my work. You have to get to Wheeler. You have to find William Parcher.

d. Disturbance of Emotional

Disturbance of Emotional is the reduction in the range and intensity of emotional expression. As the writer mentioned before in theoretical framework, Nevid et al., 2005, quoting Berenbaum Oltmanns 1990, define that there is not clear enough whether the disturbance of emotional of people suffering from schizophrenia is a disturbance in their inability to express their emotion, to report the emotion that they feel, or to experience an emotion truly. In this film, Nash has disturbance of emotional when he is assumed as the waiter by Hansen Figure 75. It is because he wears bow tie and baggy suit. In Figure 76, we see his facial expression. Figure 75 Figure 76 Martin Hansen : Ill take another. John Nash : Excuse me? Martin Hansen : A thousand pardons. I simply assumed you were the waiter. The lack of emotional expression which Nash experiences is shown through his minimal facial expression. It happen when he lost the game when he plays Go with Hansen Figure 77. Another shot Figure 78 shows his minimal facial expression when he is accepted to Wheeler Labs. Figure 77 Figure 78 The disturbance of emotional of Nash is clearly shown when he carries the baby who cries without any expression and without trying to stop the baby to cry Figure 79.
