people are missing the point

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2000)

In reading comments about this movie, so many people i think miss the point of it. I have read so many reviews criticising the math of the movie, though i wish people would realize that the math is wrong on purpose. Certainly there are errors in it, but those only reflect the main character's further journey's into insanity. Having seen both of Aronofsky's films, I believe that this is the central focus of his work. Man goes insane, but how? in Pi, it's the numbers, pounding a life long mathematical genius forward. As a person afflicted with Cohen's intelligence, i understand what was going on in the movie. of course the math made no sense, because as he continued to inquire, he tried to make sense of things that didn't. and please, don't complain about the end of the film. the drilling was a suicide, and it is only in his death that the genius himself can finally understand his true wish, the wish to be able to say "i don't know".
