Director: Darren Aronofsky
Good but not like Requiem. I enjoyed this movie a fair amount. I liked how it was confusing and the way in which it was narrated, I was not expecting this movie to live up to Requiem for a dream (another film by Darren Aronofsky) it was about what i expected. Worth watching to fill in time or if you are into maths.
Pi is about a mathematician, Maximillian Cohen, trying to break the stock market, when he is onto a break through his life starts to get into danger. It very clever and i can see the begins of Requiem for a dream in there, with the close ups of drugs getting put into a mouth with exaggerated sound effects. Like all mathematician he starts to go a little crazy. The character was quite good and there was a few good scene which show Cohen's insanity through trying to solve his confusing maths questions. It lost it a bit in the middle started to get a bit messy. I liked the narration done by Cohen.
I think maybe a person that is good at maths might be able to follow the story of this movie better than I did. It felt clever but had me a bit confessed, it didn't help that he was a nut either I just made me more confused at parts, him being crazy was defiantly something that should not change about this movie. It is quite fast paced and short which also did not help.
The character was good the acting was alright nothing special, just alright. He hated other people and did not want to me them he did however have one friend another older retired mathematician who had had a stoke because of his maths.
In the middle of this movie it felt a bit messy there was suspense and then it was killed by weirdness they could have made Cohen fear for his life more. I could not tell if he was scared or just his usual crazy self. My enjoyment dropped quite a lot during the middle of the movie, the end was good, I would have liked it a bit more if they cut of the last minute but it didn't really make any difference.
In conclusion an alright movie worth a watch if ya in the mode but don't get your hopes too high.
