Pi Blew my mind.....

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 1999)

Pi is perhaps the best film I have ever seen. Its editing, soundtrack, composition, unique filming techniques all meld together to create a unified film experience. The overexposed film (which appears to be 8mm mostly) creates an environment for the viewer which mirrors the protagonist's own view of the world. The soundtrack includes very cool songs, and the music in the migraine scene actually gives the audience insight into what a truly severe migraine headache is like. The insights explored in the 84 minutes will linger in the back of your mind for days. Watch this film if you want to see true filmmaking genius, however, the meek should be warned, it is not an stroll in the park but a journey which is very uncomfortable and award and will change how you see the world. And you thought "the Matrix" was cool!
1455-restate assumptions: 1. Everything can be represented and understood in numbers 2. Pi is an amazing film.
