Life is numbers. Numbers have patterns. Find the pattern.

If you're a math person, a movie like this hits a nerve. If you don't know if you're a math person, you're not. It hits a nerve because it brings back a rush of memories of what its like to tackle the puzzle, any puzzle, hold the question in your head and block your senses to focus solely on seeing the answer. Acting is not an issue here, as far as the movie is concerned it's not a movie, for all intents and purposes it's a perfect portrayal of what its like to struggle with a puzzle, with the distractions, trying to scrounge as much co-ordination of your mind as you can in hopes that at the peak of your struggle you will be high enough to have reached the goal. There's always a pattern in anything, we know this. Max knows it, and he's searching...
If you understand what I'm trying to say, then you need to see this movie. It puts into perspective the importance of numbers in our world. We know certain things to be true... math is the basis of life. No one with a reasonable amount of intelligence can dispute this. Life is not random. How can you dispute that, when the theory of evolution that we so obviously buy into as a species STATES, in more words, that life is not random. There is nothing random about survival of the fittest, is there? Anyways, if you at all get what I am talking about, if your religion doens't prevent you from thinking about your existence beyond what you are told to believe, then watch this movie.
