Brilliant one on second thoughts

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2010)

As soon as I finished this movie, I got up and thought just another "psycho pi" stuff from Aronofsky. My next thought was why doesn't he make something like wrestler again. And then it just hit me "quest of perfection", the mathematician chasing the meaning of Pi, and the wrestler who has to wrestle, as that is what is wants to do, even if he risks his life. There was a magical moment and I found the movie suddenly brilliant, and appreciated Aronofsky for his genius.
I do not believe in extreme emotions, rather one has to take nothing so seriously which human being has created. And here is the brilliance of Aronofsky, he portrays the extreme and psychotic nature of human emotion, ambition and quest. At the end the movies communicate that this extreme nature is a labyrinth created by self, which is delusional in so many ways.
The movie is about a young girl trying to a perfect ballerina, and everything should be perfect around it. She hallucinates and falls pray to her ambition. The acting is superb, the hard work in direction on ballet scenes and developing of movie is great. A must watch and I guess a high chance of Oscar for Natalie Portman.
I still feel its time Aronofsky makes a different movie, rather than the extreme emotions. I think Pi was his greatest movie, it is like how Wrestler and Crazy Heart are similar movies, but Crazy Heart has a neutral/positive spin at the end. I am not looking for a positive ending, just a different kind of brilliance from him.
