What the fuck did I just watch? Explain this shit. Did people enjoy this?
Yeah, I don't know. It was pretty boring.
I remember this movie was about greedy jews looking for a magic number
Everyone ranted and raved what an excellent movie this was. Then Aronofsky did requiem for a Dream two years later, and suddenly no one could remember Pi.
Movie was weird. It was around the time I started going to art houses and independent theaters.
Top notch soundtrack!

It's about people searching for 'the meaning' of life, and how desperate and obsessive people can become in attempt to find it. In the end, it's sort of trying to say that ignorance is bliss.

Through the 70's to 90's in occult circles Kabbalah was put on this pedestal of mystical systems considered so potent that visions and transformations from it will drive someone insane if they're not ready. It's a naive stance now for people into that sorta thing. But Aronofsky was capitalizing on that niche.
This movie was cool because I used to be paranoid as fuck.

...it's pretty straight forward.
Max, the central character, is a mathematician who hypothesizes everything in and of nature demonstrates patterns. Therefore, the stock market, as a giant composition of natural minds, must demonstrate a pattern as well. In trying to discover it, he comes across a 216 digit number later revealed to be the true name of God, a knowledge that slowly kills him until hedrills into his brain.
A Drill is objectively the best power tool
