Pi Embodies Everything an Independant Film Should Be

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2000)

Pi is one of those movies that is so powerful, that it once it is over, you just sit there in your seat in thought. It's incredible. You sit there and you realize that this director has such a powerful voice, and is such a genius, that he will never be accepted by hollywood or the mainstream cinema in general. The story is moving, and no matter how you are socialized, you can still relate to its main character, Maximillian Cohen. The music is beautifully mixed by Clint Mansell (who has now done the score for Requiem for a Dream, Darren Aronofsky's next film).
Pi's genius cannot really be explained to someone who hasn't seen the film. It touches souch dark parts of your mind that you instantly respect Darren Aronofsky's daringness and intelligence.
Pi is about so much more than a genius trying to find a pattern in nature. It is about understanding what really matters.
