Pi

[Tavo E]

I tried to do a search to see if a topic on this already exists but its too short (2 letters) to search for, so if anyone knows a similar thread please redirect me.

Anyway...

I just got back from a mates watching Pi, what a cool film! Its pretty crazy and some of the stuff that is suggested to you is thought provoking.

Good stuff!

Any other views?

I saw it in the cinema when it came out and would agree with what you said about it. Might have to get the DVD at some point and re-watch it.

Fantastic film...

I watched it with someone of the Jewish faith... I didn't feel too comfortable sat there... :S

found it a bit pretentious myself alright, but certainly another overhyped art-house flick, like intacto

Some fascinating stuff about the Torah and the Hebrew language in there though Peej.

According to the film, in Hebrew each letter has a numerical value. The number for "father" is 3. The number for "mother" is 41. 41+3=44, which is the number for "child."

Could your Jewish friend confirm whether any of that stuff was true?

A great film, I'd recommend it to anyone. A perfect example of how an intelligent, thought provoking script, a well considered character study and a brilliant soundtrack can wipe the floor with millions of dollars worth of special effects.

She didn't say anything... I guess it was right!

On IMDB it states how a lot of the mathematical/Hebrew stuff was made up for the film though.

Apparently even the 216 digit number, was infact, 218 digits!

Oh well.

It was a good idea nonetheless.
