This could have been a masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (21 October 2007)

When i first saw Pi i was sucked into the dark mood the the director sets up in such a great way. But something was bugging me.After the second time i understood that although it is a really good movie (considering direction lighting music etc) it has basically great flaws as to its core plot. The whole mathematics thing doesn't make sense at all,the number Pi has nothing to do with the "key" number max was looking for (thus making the movie's title just stupid) and the Kabbala numerology is completely flawed.Aronofsky showed great craftsmanship while directing this movie but the impression i get is that he had absolutely no idea about mathematics or mysticism and he didn't bother to do a little research before shooting the film.Too bad this impression gets worse with every viewing when you've stopped being shocked by the imagery and you notice the plot more.This could have been a masterpiece.
