Jennifer Connelly, who plays Alicia Nash in the movie, was on Larry King tonight. She met Alicia Nash before she did the movie, and says they are still together, in New Jersey. Maybe they aren't married, but they are still together. I read several biographies about John on the internet last week, and they all said she stayed by his side throughout the whole time.

My life in the Borg seemed to encompass an accurate worldview and true purpose yet looking back now it was a narrow minded illusion. Is my life any different today? I would like to think so but who really knows. After all it is only *my* reality viewed through my personal biases, and experiences. I guess the important thing is to continue to grow and to continually fight off our complacency and fear of change.
An excellent interpretation of the movie, Hungry, and a fitting screen name in view of the topic.
Sometimes the JW life is so denigrated around here that I can't help but wonder was it *really* that bad? And, are the views I now have so very superior from what they once were? I doubt that the answer in either case is a solid, absolute "yes."
The important thing is to come to terms w/ our past and accept who we are right now with the hope that we can get better.
Thanks for your comments. You make me want to see the movie again.
peace,

I don't know if I could have done it - would take a remarkable woman, and a remarkable love & friendship.

They are remarried. From the New York Times review of the movie:
Before he married Alicia, with whom he had a son named John, he fathered another child, also named John, with a woman named Eleanor Stiers, and abandoned both mother and child to poverty. He formed a number of intense, apparently sexual bonds with other men, and he lost his security clearance and his position at the RAND Corporation after he was arrested for soliciting sex in a men's room in Santa Monica, Calif. When his illness became intractable and his behavior intolerable, Alicia divorced him. (They remarried last June.)
