      Approaching the truth again

      This really is a brilliant movie! Watching the movie reminds me of the novel "John Christopher" that I read before. At that time, I thought the novel was amazing, that is, it showed the life of a great musician. But unfortunately it is too verbose. And this "Death Code", it should be said that it is very rare to show the life of a mathematician, and the plot is compact and the rhythm is fast.

      It is also equipped with a powerful talent for the protagonist Marcos, and then put it into...

      The nature of the world and social norms

      It's really good, as far as I understand the part. The shots are punchy, with good use of black and white overexposure and contrast. You can feel it when you're crazy. Math is beautiful. Those who pursue the truth/world law are either hard-thinking or almost insane, social fears are unbearable and meaningless, or they devote themselves to the material world of money represented by stocks. After all, they have to provide the best research tools, or To succumb to religion requires comfort and...

      just a string of numbers

      I don't know math, and I guess the director doesn't know much either XD. Translate it into philosophy: the series of numbers that the protagonist chases in the film is like the "truth" pursued in modernist hermeneutics, a constant (synchronic) explanatory structure that explains everything (the "pattern" in the film). ”), it’s hard to say whether it exists or not, but this film was made in 1998, and postmodernism has taken a more prestige position. The protagonist, the mathematician, has a...

      To repeat my hypothesis:
      One: Mathematica is the language of nature.
      Two: Everything around us can be represented and understand though numbers.
      Three: You graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in the nature.

    Evaluation action

    Details are the key to interpreting "Pi". The director suddenly highlighted his refreshing ability to manipulate thrilling elements in the film. The film is frantic like a nightmare. The protagonist is set in the ultimate pursuit of life and the peak of the spiritual experience, to the point of "no madness, no survival", the director tries to express a spiritual situation and pursuit, nothing more. The film is a work that caused an...
