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.

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.
e. Disturbance of Motor Behavior
As the writer explained before in Chapter II that the motor behavior of schizophrenic is frequently abnormal; they may be agitated or excited, and may
wave or gesture wildly. They also often engage in repetitive, but apparently purposeless behavior.
In A Beautiful Mind, we can see the disturbance of motor behavior of Nash when shaking hand to someone Figure 80, 81, and 82; he does not see people’s
face. He also does not see people’s face when they are talking Figure 83.
Figure 80 Figure 81
Figure 82 Figure 83
From the Figures above, Figure 80, we see Nash shaking hand with his friend and talking to people Figure 83 without looking their face when he does
not realize that he has one of the symptoms of schizophrenia. In Figure 81 and Figure 82, we see Nash is still shaking hand with people without looking their
face. These happen he does some treatments to recover his mental illness. We can also see lighting and color schemes are gradually change from the Figures above.
He also shows his awkward gestures when he talks to someone. It is shown when he talks to Hansen that there is no innovative idea in Hansen’s paper
Figure 84, when Alicia invites Nash to go dinner Figure 85, and when Nash tells Charles that he meets a girl and wants to marry her Figure 86. All of these
awkward gestures happen when he does not realize that he is schizophrenic. In Figure 87, shows Nash’s awkward gestures after he has a treatment. From the
Figures below, we can see lighting and color schemes are gradually change.

f. Social withdrawal
In the film, Nash withdraws himself from people. He is unsociable man and only occasionally finds himself interacting with people. When he is in
university, he tells Charles that he does not like them, and they do not much like them either. Charles’ opinion emphasizes what Nash says about himself that he
doesn’t has good relationship with other people is true.
