Plot Summary:'Bobby Fischer Against the World' is a documentary feature exploring the tragic and bizarre life of the late chess master Bobby Fischer. The drama of Bobby Fischer's career was undeniable, from his troubled childhood, to his rock star status as World Champion and Cold War icon, to his life as a fugitive on the run. This film explores one of the most infamous and mysterious characters of the 20th century.
受折磨的天才和名人隐士是被大众想象满足甚至疯狂迷恋的两个类型，近代没有人比Bobby Fischer将这两个角色与更多的悲剧性或感伤结合在一起。天才，短暂却无比耀眼，专注，自恋，喜爱attention，孤僻，偏执，严重被害妄想，厌恶母亲，与女性相处糟糕。他把chess视为alter-ego，最为享受的便是碾碎对方ego的时刻。为了Fischer去了好几次冰岛。
天才才有资格任性，但任性却让天才陨落
非常震撼. 1) 天才必须要以天赋加sacrifice. Bobby Fisher在15岁拿到全美冠军的背后是几乎没有生活只有chess. 只有痴迷才会做出这样的牺牲. 2) Bobby Fisher在体力上的锻炼也是惊人的. 3) Chess player确实很容易paranoid, 因为棋盘上的每一步他都会觉得对手背后有一整个plan在那里. 放到生活中会疯的
