Faith in chaos.

In my sixteen birthdays, my cousin Felipe give me a lot of DVD’s with movies.  That movie was: Pi. A little name for a great movie, of the now acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky.

This film shock and impact on me, because the movie was made in black and white (later for me, the movies in black and white only was old and boring), but the editing of the film was very accelerated, constructing a claustrophobic atmosphere who remind me to metamorphosis of Franz Kafka.   

The history is about a mathematician called Maximilian Cohen, who thinks what the nature of the numbers is mathematical. He’s very lonely a suffered attacks of migraine, that’s very important in the curse of the movie, because the migraine increased with the search of the perfect numeric combination.  This combination is the combination of the number: Pi.  His mentor studied this number and almost went crazy (in the curse of the movie went crazy). That’s affected my conception of mathematics, because when I was a teenager I didn’t understood it, and thought was boring and useless.  However I respect it, because the Mathematics is world in him and the people who studied going crazy.  

The obsession until you lose yourself, it’s a very interesting topic what Aronofsky exploited to do it a masterpiece in his first movie. He made a few good movies, like Requiem for a dream and the wrestler, but he lost the independent charming of his first productions
