Has anyone seen the movie Pi (Faith in Chaos)?
That movie scared the ever loving shit out of me.

Talk about some crazy mathematics.

2. Yes, when it first came out several years ago.
It was a classic mind fuck.

7. Thought it was kind of lame.
Kind of a case study in how people who make films see people who do math: Lots of socially inept people coupled with corporate raiders and mystics hoping to exploit the results.

Of course, when it came out I was in school studying math, so I might not have had the intended perspective. Like someone in seminary school seeing how The Omen makes the life of priests seem so over-the-top dramatic.

9. I bet most people feel that way when their field is portrayed in movies.
because let's face it, how often does Hollywood get anything right?

I loved the movie, but had I been in your shoes I may not of. ;)

Welcome to DU. :toast:

10. So far I still think it's Aronofsky's best work.
