Vanilla Sky (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.80

Plot: David Aames takes all he has for granted; his wealth, his inherited publishing company, his good looks - his relationships. Especially his relationships. It catches up to him when a friend/sometimes sex-partner can’t see their relationship the way he sees it. From that point, the movie takes a Lynchian twist that ultimately and literally pulls us into Aames’ tortured psyche.

What's Game Theory and how does it apply to the films A Beautiful Mind and Catch Me If You Can?
I have 2000 word essay about Game Theory and how it applies to the films A Beautiful Mind and Catch Me If You Can. I am beyond stumpted, I’ve googled and googled but, I cannot wrap my head around it. HELP!! I Due for my economics class October 15. Help, I’ll be most appreciative for the help.


Game theory is basically decision making. It is -game- theory. It’s like playing a strategy game, except with risk and benefit as "numbers" (I don’t know if it’s that specific that you have to deal with numbers?).

A Beautiful Mind is about, basically, the creator of game theory and the Nash equilibrium, John Nash. The Nash equilibrium is the point at which both players (or all) get what they want, and get the best outcome possibly, by working together and doing what is best for themselves and the group. -Not- as Adam Smith said, one man working for himself serves the common good. Look at the prisoner’s dilemma examples, those are the most common examples used to explain game theory. This will help explain it in less technical terms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqn6MXyJ3 7c.

It’s not a very complicated science, even though it sounds intimidating. After all, it’s a -social- science, heh.

Catch Me If You Can is also kind of game theory; it goes back and forth between the false check-writer teenager and the cop/agent chasing after him (I watched this a long time ago, I don’t remember the names, sorry!). It is like strategy; a cat and mouse game if you will. They are players in a game, and assess the risk of each move before making their next move. The check-writer plays a good game, and is a good strategist. He’s very clever, but in the end is caught. Here’s an example from the film that I remember that -kind of- illustrates game theory…

In the last scene the check-writer and the detective are inside a building in France, where the check-writer has fled. The detective tells the check-writer that he can either run and possibly be killed by angry French police that will pursue him, or he can go quietly with the detective, and possibly get better treatment, etc. Obviously, which would you choose? Which has less risk?

Good luck. I actually like both of these movies, too, you should watch them.

Bandits (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.60

Plot: A charismatic convict (Bruce Willis) and a hypochondriac inmate (Billy Bob Thornton) break out of prison in a cement truck and immediately start a bank robbing spree. Becoming known as the “Sleepover Bandits”, the two kidnap bank managers the night before their robbery, spend the night with their families, and then all go to the bank in the morning to get the dough. Using a dim-witted stunt man (Troy Garrity) as their getaway driver and lookout, the three successfully pull off several jobs that gets them recognition on a tv show about America’s criminals. When a bored housewife (Cate Blanchett) with a failing marriage decides to runaway, she ends up in the hands of the criminals. Initially attracted to Willis, she nonetheless also ends up in bed with Thornton and a confused romantic relationship begins. Continuing along with their spree, the bandits hit the wall when the bank managers realize that they are non-violent and therefore no threat to them or their employees. This leads to one more big score at the Alamo Bank, where in the very opening scenes, things appear to go awry.

Why are the police no help and the courts don’t listen?

If all else fails, call CPS. They are even more evil than the dad.

They’ll take care of it for sure.
KeithL | Dec 04, 2009


there’s always something you can do!

never give up! appeal to the children’s sense of love for their mother, and tell them they’re loved! they’re probably siding with him out of boredom or a desire to belong to something… even if it’s an evil vendetta. Get them involved and passionate with a healthy hobby, or anything else that could serve to distract them from whatever their intentions are…

Children are malleable. Which is how he has gotten them under his control. But it also means that there’s still hope!

DON’T GIVE UP!!!
