One of my favorite movies and I always cry at the end. Thinking about it, Nash had schizophrenia and had delusions when stressed. He overcame reacting to the repetitive visions when he realized that one of his delusions, a little girl, never got old. He had been believing a lie that his mind had created.
We all believe lies. We all believe our own fallacies. A great portion of mental illness stems from false beliefs. Sin comes from following lies. We want to believe that something that we are not to do is good or that there will be no consequences. Sometimes we get away with no consequence. But our happiness is temporal.
Sometimes doing what is right is painful and hurtful, and the rewards are temporal, or not received. Most often we don't get to see the good in trauma or loss.
The temporal things of life teach us about the eternal. We have a duty to teach others what God has said not to do and what to do because those things never change. They are based on who God is and He is Truth. So always search for the truth and you will be searching for God and getting to know Him.
