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.
Charles : Maybe youre just better... with the old integers than you are
with people.
John Nash : My first grade teacher, she told me... that I was born with
two helpings of brain, but only half a helping of heart.
Charles : Wow She sounds lovely
John Nash : The truth is that I- I dont like people much. And they dont
much like me. Fixated on his search for an original idea, Nash separates himself from
people further. He spends days on end in the campus library, works out dense calculations on the leaded-glass windows of his dorm room and dismisses
classroom instruction.
Charles : Youve been in here for two days.
John Nash : You know Hansens just published another paper? I cant
even find a topic for my doctorate. When Nash works in M.I.T. and meets Parcher, he tells Parcher that he
does not like people or they do not much like them either.
Parcher : So, John, no family, no close friends- Why is that?
John Nash : I like to think its because Im a lone wolf. But mainly its
because people dont like me. Nash is inability to interact with other people. He flubs a conversation
with an attractive woman in a bar by saying “essentially we’re talking about fluid exchange” and the woman slap Nash and leaves him.
John Nash : I dont exactly know what Im required to say... in order for
you to have intercourse with me, but could we assume that I said all that? Essentially were talking about fluid
exchange, right? So, could we just go straight to the sex?
Woman : Oh, that was sweet. Have a nice night, asshole
Nash’s world seemed to be closing in on him. He does not realize that he withdraws himself gradually. He misses the class while he supposes to teach.
Alicia : Everyone waited half an hour.
