much more than math

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2002)

I am surprised at negative reactions to this film; I watched this movie twice in the first sitting. Whether or not you agree with the actual theory, I would contend that the underlying philosophy of Pi is similar to that of great artists and authors of the last 50 years. Many of this site's comments focus on the film's math, but this movie is not merely about mathematical theory. My reading was a beautifully intense take on the search for answers to larger questions, both scientific and spiritual.
