Faith in Chaos.

Maximilian Cohen, a mathematician, believes there are patterns everywhere in nature. Because of his studies and research in which he tries to predict the behavior of the stock market, he is chased by a Wall Street company, and by an orthodox Jew follower of the Torah, who believes that these numbers are sent by God.

I can't say the performances impressed me, nor did the directing.<... read more

I never really understood all the fuss about this film. On the one hand I thought it had a lot of things going for it, such as a stunning soundtrack by the extremely talented Clint Mansell (as well as some Autechre to boot) and some top drawer acting, particularly from Sean Gullette. His representation of the troubled genius was nothing short of magnificent. It's a shame he gets such a small role ... read more

“PI : Mathematics is the language of nature.

The story of the movie PI, a mathematical number involves Max Cohen, a paranoid and reclusive New York math genius, confined to his messy apartment behind a door with three locks, and who talks to his homemade supercomputer, Euclid, trying to detect a pattern in the chaos of the universe-in the digits & pi, in the rise and fall of the stock market, and in the letters of Torah. Cohen is also affected by a rare brain malaise, which causes him to have wild uncontrollable fits and hallucinations.

Well the tale is bit weired, but guess what, most of the genius behaves the odd way so did max cohen.” read more

Phillydude's Movie Log - March, 2012 (35 movies items)

" Watched March 20th - Xanadon't's DVD Collection - 1st Viewing "When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before, I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve - My pupils shrank to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood." - Maximillian Cohen The lesson of this movie is - listen to your Mother - I though"

"Dialogista meni huonon enklantini ja puuttuvien tekstitysten takia 50 prossaa harakoille, mutta muilta osin tässä oli kyllä taas sellainen trippi, että hellurei. Pään sekaisin ravistava tunnelma on voimakkuudessaan linnunradan toiselta laidalta, omituiset, muurahaisia ja aivojen tökkimistä sisältävät skenet ovat todella psykedeelisiä ja erityisesti loistavan soundtrackin avaruusbiisit saavat kuolan valumaan pitkin leukaa. Visuaalisilta ratkaisuilta on mainittava varsinkin upea kamer"
