Pi: a bold new step in filmmaking.

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 1998)

As an aspiring filmmaker, I love Pi and I hate Pi at the same time. In my humble opinion, Pi went above and beyond the standards set by Hollywood today. I mean, I had to actually THINK while watching it. That may have actually turned people off to it.
So many movies today follow the same pattern where the good guys win at the end, either through unbeatable odds or through a great sacrifice made by the hero. (Armageddon, Private Ryan, etc) Pi doesn't follow that at all.
I loved Pi for its boldness, the camera work, the atmosphere set by the black and white film. Yet I hate it. Why? Pi was the kind of movie that I wanted to make. :)
