Hope you enjoy this one! This movie is insane and I loved it!! Please let me know your thoughts and ideas around this film, I would really love to discuss!!
15:16 "The computer has a sense of its own silicon nature and it prints out its ingredients". The way I took that is this: Silicon is similar to carbon atomically. The thing about carbon is that it is the element necessary for life, and finally, carbon has 6 electron, 6 neutrons and 6 protons, (making it chemically very versatile, the most versatile element in terms of forming bonds with other elements and compounds). 6x6x6=216. It's a bit esoteric, but that's how I saw it, the talk about silicon is an allusion to carbon and life itself
The price of perfection is losing the reason to wake up the next morning. Nice analysis.
I completely agree, I think we all need some kind of journey of personal progress in our life to keep us going. I'm really glad you enjoyed and thank you so much!!
My husband, a literal director and film addict, has just informed me he’s never seen this movie. It’s time to right this wrong. Thank you for reminding me how much I loved this movie.
Omg you have to show it to him, this movie is spectacular! He would adore this as a filmmaker/film-lover, I would love to hear his thoughts as well! And I'm so glad you came across the video, thank you so much for watching!
Divorce the bum.
Blasphemy!
What happened when you showed him?
@@nukecorruption6 Funny story. He thought it was too pretentious, didn’t get it, he got more and more snobby and hateful about movies and people, I found out he voted AFD (alt right party in germany with plenty of nazis) and I divorced him. But my boyfriend of around 6 months now absolutely loved it 😇 there’s hope for this one yet lol.
One of the best movies ever made, if not the best. I saw it first in 1999 and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Darren Aronofsky's masterpiece right at the beginning of his career.
Congratulations on this video: the best explanation of the content and plot!
Thank you so much!! And agreed, this film is so timeless, I'll never forget it.
Great vid! really helped me understand the movie. Thaks bro!
There is something magical and transcendental on this movie that is impossible to me explain, just contemplate. The mathematics is treated somehay that induces the viewer to a kind of pathological obsession that no movie about famous mathematicians couldn't even come close to keeping me euphoric like Pi made, along with the aesthetics and the underground electronic soundtrack. It's everything perfect and cathartic on this masterpiece.
One of my favourite films of all time
Same here my friend, a hidden classic
same, since yesterday haha
Same, until I saw a very boring movie immediately after watching Pi 😂
I'd like to speak about another point, because your review is so spot on anyways:
With so many movies with bright colours, scenery, 4k resolution, 3D in cinema and all of that, I'm finding that I like movies that are shot in a such a way that helps you dive in and feel more of what they want to convey to the viewer. I've found this happening with Pi, with it's black and white setting and the grainy, pixelated, scenes and also with The Lighthouse, which was shot in black and white as well and with a 4:3 display format, to really convey it is old (or at least that's my logic) even if it's been released recently. You just have to appreciate the risk the directors took and I'm sure some people haven't watched and will never watch these movies because of the way they look at a first glance (somehow off-putting, old, antiquated), but it makes the experience so much more intense for the rest of us. Kudos to the directors for sacrificing more views (and more money) for a better experience. This really means a lot in the corporate profit oriented society that we live in today.
I couldn't agree with this more, I really appreciate Darren Aronofsky's creative decisions. There's an authenticity to the visual style that makes it so unique and captivating. But it's funny how that same authenticity can be discomforting for many viewers. That's why I like art so much (film, television music, photography, video editing, comedy). Two people can connect so deeply on how they feel about something, but another person will feel the exact opposite. It's fascinating
Another black and white classic movie is Clerks, though it is a comedy from the 90's so it may not interest everyone.
From what I know of the time when these movies were shot, the black and white format did present a risk of turning away viewers, but that risk was balanced by the fact that black and white film production was the least expensive way to shoot a film, so there was not a lot of pressure for the movie to sell well.
I loved this film a long time ago. But, I understood it as clearly as you explained it. I will watch it again now. Your analysis is a work of art and genius. Thank you!
Omg thank you! I also loved this film, so it’s always so nice to come across people who have seen and love this movie. Thank you for such kind words and thank you for watching!!
Man, that was seriously worth the wait! Thank you for covering this one, I'm gonna have to watch it a couple more times to let it all sink in. I hope you're doing well and look forward to your future content!
It's so great to hear you enjoyed the video! I'm really glad you suggested this film because I loved it, the concepts and the visual style were so much fun, just an amazing movie overall! And yeah, I'm doing great! Creating content is really fun, so you can expect something new every week!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Max is still in touch with the divine in a way, just not in the extreme, obsessive, self destructive way he was before. The big clue to that, is Devi. I have yet to see anyone acknowledge her true importance in this film. Just look up what her name means, and you'll begin to see what I mean.
Agree about the "Devi" part. There are also so much symbolism through out the movies, also Sol Robenson, his name is literally "Sol" which literally means "sun". And what about the "bugs" he finds in his computer, but also in the sink with the brain, and Sol talking about a bug, a computer virus
Agree! Sol also mentions that the most important part of the Archimedes story is his wife
I also see the perspective of the movie representing an obsessive psychosis, as well.
It's a common thing in Psychosis to connect dots that aren't connected, but seem real to the person experiencing it.
Maybe it was brought on by his childhood trauma of staring at the sun and being blinded temporarily.
Just like how Sol is saying "if all you think about is the number 226, you will start to see it everywhere."
Over-concentrating on one thing makes it much easier to find the connections where they otherwise wouldn't be found. You'll make mundane scenarios connect to it when in reality, there's nothing to connect it to.
This analysis is 110% spot on. And very well explained.
This is one of my all-time fave movies. Very insightful analysis, I gotta say
Agreed, such a gem! And thank you so much!!
Thanks for this great analysis, I've just discovered your channel and really like your work.
Waiting for the analysis of The Whale
I did not understand much after my first watch but your analysis really helped! Thank you for breaking it down in a simple manner.
So happy to help! And thank you so much for watching!!
Your enthusiasm is the cherry on the pi(e)😁!
Hahaha yeah I loved this movie so much and I had never seen it before, so I'm glad that energy came through in the video!!
@@lucasblue20 It is an excellent movie indeed and the parallel with Icare is right on point for me too even more so that he was Daidalos's son who built this spirally labyrinth (dédale) : quite metaphoric for the search of knowledge in a seemingly chaotic space, isn't it ?
@@NN-mr5lw yes it is, I didn’t know that. There are so many tie-ins between scenes and between references and between scenes and references. This movie is like a never-ending puzzle haha
The scar or vein on his head looks like the y letter in Hebrew. I looked for the definition: "Tzadik (Hebrew: צַדִּיק [tsaˈdik], "righteous [one]", also zadik, ṣaddîq or sadiq; pl. tzadikim [tsadiˈkim] צדיקים ṣadiqim) is a title in Judaism given to people considered righteous, such as biblical figures and later spiritual masters."
Also, the part of the brain he destroyed contains memories, so he erased the number from his mind. Seeing God was too much for him, as the Rabbi said.
@@Msvalexvalex that's an valuable addition to deciphering the symbolism in the movie. I was also wondering about the shape of the vein/tumor and the part of the brain/
You know sol means sun?
Thank you for this wonderful analysis. I love the movie - have watched it several times - but have not understood it at this level before. Thanks!!
and the OST is such a banger this and the animatrix are my favs
I watched this several times, great job on your analysis! What are your thoughts on Max fixing his hair prior to seeing Devi to avoid her from fixing it again as she previously had? He seemed bothered when she touched him. During the sex sounds, he seemed annoyed/interrupted. During his breakdown he could hear the distorted sounds while suffering, possibly associating the two. Emotions, love, and sex seem like the antithesis of what Max wanted to be so maybe the possibility of being touched or the reminder of human emotion via the sounds disturbed him?
I like your analysis, I love this movie! Happy 25th Bday Pi movie and happy Pi-day today! :)
Love this movie! Most people have never heard of it! Subscribed immediately after watching ❤
Some suggestions I would love to see if interested would be
Momento and No Country for Old Men, and the matrix the 1st one 😅
It’s interesting that Max looks like a young Aleister Crowley as he nears enlightenment. I wonder if this was intentional?
This explanation is very very well balanced and insightful. 11/10
Wow, thank you so much! I really love this movie, so I'm so thrilled to hear I could do it justice.
i just watched this yesterday and instantly came to *LUCAS BLUE* for an explanation id say most Darren Arnofosky are a mind fuck he is very intelligent and really makes the audience have there own point of view and this is now one of my favorites 💯💯
Omg yes he’s very quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite directors. I deeply admire his integrity and passion with every project, and this one particularly blew me away! I’m so glad you love his obscure style and ambition like I do. Thank you so much for watching this one! So happy to hear you enjoyed it!!
This movie broke my brain my first watch. I didn't understand anything that was happening besides he found the secret to the universe. This helps a lil bit.
Umm, how? It literally mentions Icarus and starts with him saying he stared at the sun.
@@FLdancer00 we didn't learn basically anything about greek mythology in school i had no idea
Thanks for this video. Really nice and interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen this movie, and i want to see it again 🤓 By the way, beautiful voice Lucas 😻
i just saw this yesterday and this is my review
This movie is the perfect portrayal of how things like meaning purpose value or reason of just about anything imaginable could lead to a very debilitating obsession.
I found it to be equal parts suspenseful thrilling and on the edge of my seat type of thing. It is a smart well crafted movie that touches base with quite a few themes.
It is definitely a movie for intellectuals. To me it accurately shows the hardships of having a mental disorder. However I was trying to figure out what kind of mental disorder the main character Max has. It also shows how repetitive self-isolation or seclusion isn't exactly healthy.
It is a little bit repetitive in some ways however I guess it was just trying to make a point..
Now this is one of my personal favorite movies as it touches base with number theory Fibonacci, and religious themes such as Kabbalah. however this video helped me understand it a bit deeper. totally watching this movie again in the future.
Fantastic analysis. There are still 2 things I can't understand in this movie.
1. Who is the man on the subway? The one who is singing and then disappears, and then is seen again with the newspaper, then following Max? I assume this man is a hallucination caused by paranoia, but not sure.
2. What's with the ants everywhere in his apartment? Is this a reminder of nature? Again, they seem like a hallucination as they are crawling around inside his computer and on the brain he is already hallucinating.
I love this video ❤️ Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure! I’m so happy you loved it, thank you!!
Great review ! Instant follow :)
If you are taking classic requests "KIDS" is a must for everyone to watch to instill fear of what is possible
We're already way past that with regards to cultural devolution.... we are in ruins.
Fantadtic film, brilliantly accompanied by Clint Mansell's soundtrack.
This movie formed my understanding and image of what God could be. I sometimes suggested people to view this movie, but sadly, most of them couldn't handle this movie.
Cool vid. Now do one on Primer!
I enjoyed this film and your analysis. Thanks
Anytime my friend, thank you!!
you certainly had more insight and understanding than, say, some of those other videos about this movie, and I only suggest to use more vocal variety in your voice over ;)
Thank you!! I’m always trying to improve my delivery so thank you for mentioning this!
I love this movie. I believe the soundtrack makes it a masterpiece
Hi Lucas, outstanding explanation and review of this movie. Do you know what Sol has tattooed on right hand? Looks like a skull and a crown? What was the several jabs symbolize? I worked in Electronics for over 30 years and I never wore a mask. There is a lot of symbology going on here you think? I can read Hebrew and have studied Hebrew Gematria. The 5 1/4 floppy disk that the Hasidic gave to Max written on it was the was Genesis 1:1-8 these first eight verse are filled with tons of Gematria and Codes. The Hasidic mystics are trying to bring in the Messianic era with the ciphered coded numbers from the Hebrew letters of Genesis 1:1-8. I believe the mystic Rabbis are getting this Idea from when Moshe asked Gods to reveal Himself. God then revealed the creation of the Universe by passing by Moshe. Just my thoughts. Don’t you think it coincidence to our day of Max giving himself jabs and the wearing of mask while plugging in this Chip? His girlfriend is called Devi pretty darn close to Devil. I’ve never heard of a chick named Devi? Did Max take 6 pills 3 times? 666 I don’t think that I’m reaching out.

Thank you really awesome cool stuff that went missing for me for 20 years brother
thank you Lucas Blue' that was wonderfull.
So glad you liked it! Thank you!!
that was awesome, thanks a lot!
We all know the real reason for Sol's death:
DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING,
Phenomenal explanation
I assumed at the end after drilling the hole he died.
Him not being able to do math again and just enjoying being on the bench was his "afterlife" so to speak.
As I do not believe those nefarious people would just let him walk away.
this much better anslysis with respect tobother videos
All the issues outlined at the outset in this video stem from the imposition of numbers as a construct of the human mind on the external world. This has great significance if one posits (as Plato did) that numbers are real, but are only a vehicle forming connections in human thought if not.
@10:34 I wonder what "game bleed" is like from playing too much GO. I had it bad from tetris, tony hawks / jet set radio and mirrors edge
Need to emohasize the soundtrack designed by Clint Mansell. It led the way to the success of many other films.
Loved it!
Wow this video is amazing
I’m so glad you enjoyed! Thank you!!
Can you review "Cheri" with Michelle Phifer and "The Wife" by glen close. I would love to hear your opinion
Thoughts on the ants?
Lol i really love that no one understands what these mathematical constants are. Lets just say a power chord in music is the constant Phi. 😅
You are incredible sir 🤯😎🏆
Thank you so much, my friend! Means a lot!
As a scientist the end is disgusting. You can balance your artistic and human capability and your love and even obsession for understanding and knowledge. Many scientists are obsessive. Very disappointing end.
but you have to take in the religous and mystic part of the movie that leads to his decision tho
1:42 Learn gematria, and you will find the question to the answer you are looking for. Gematria, geometry in language, was once thought to be only a Hebrew text. However, the English language was standardized this way. And, synchronized with the Gregorian calendar.
A is 1
B is 2
C is 3
.........
Z is 26
The phrase 'God communicates through numbers' = 351
351 is the 26th triangular number.
26 letters in the alphabet. This alphabet happens to belong to the language of the world.
God = 26
Once you learn, you will know the truth. Once you know the truth, you will never be able to go back. It's kind of like putting on those glasses in the movie "they live."
We are taught and trained at a young age to accept a life of ignorance and bondage with pride and gratitude.
His name is Sol because of Do Re Mi Fa SOL La Ti. The 5th Mi is Me as in U. Understand?
Just great
What a video🤯💯.
Haha wow thank you so much, this really means a lot!!
Dude I’ve got some ideas on π that will blow your mind
God told Adam in Genesis that we now have to eat from the Tree of knowledge of good and evil all the days of our lives. It also says his people perish from lack of knowledge. Man is divine only because he has intellect compared to the rest of the animal kingdom you can think of divinity like a vine thats growing, basically man can blossom like a flower. That movie is sort of based on real stuff. I have no idea if the Jews really are looking for a 216 digit code but there's a book out claiming it has that number. This stuff is based off geometry mostly. Pi is about lines and circles and much more. It's a very numerological movie.
Once you successfully get burned through the quest of knowledge of any kind Number, watching drama movies, finding meaning. You get released to true most magnificent meaning of life Love and the nature of love. That's Pie.
In Hinduism the simple way been suggested through Bhakti and Bhajan by sant Tukaram. Easy and deviney peaceful way to attend love and peace.
I can relate to this film. Not a genius by any means but I wish I was dumber so I could tolerate humanity.
Knowing too much is painful.
The word to number ratios are just not real, they don't "add up."

Очень интересное видео
This movie is way to autobiographical. Life is an anthology series. Let's all netflix and chill.
RIP Mark Margolis
Theres actually a massive pattern the movie follows that no one seems to have found except me. I can't find anything about it online. Let me know if you are interested and I can show it to you. I tried to link it in another comment but it seems to have been flagged as spam. It basically makes every review of the movie invalid (in a way).
I feel this way as well. Can I know what pattern you found?
@@diorsqipe1361 Oh wow I replied to this yesterday but it looks like it got flagged. Ok so basically theres this idea that theres something wrong with the sound. Its mentioned in various places, interviews and such with Darren Aronofsky etc. Now you know the guy in the subway who is singing? He leaves out a line in the song, and check the poster he is sitting across from. This is a massive clue (unless of course im insane). Unfortunately I can’t link you what I’m trying to show you. If you reply to this I will try once again to see if I can find a way. You will have to let me know if you check it out though. Actually I will try it here. Go to the website with the first three letters of “computer” after the dot at the end. The website starts with the first letter of each word in “Ordinary Day Year Second Ear Envelope” then add a slash to the end and type “DSOPi”. Let me know if you got that.
@@e1ghtSpace why did you make the video you made
@@Placedmat I was trying to copy “The Dark Side of Oz” (search it on youtube). But when I did it to Pi it seemed to sync way too well and then I realised that would fit in with the story of a mathematician trying to find patterns. Then I noticed a bunch of weird stuff in the movie like the guy on the subway singing a song but leaving out a line about the moon, and he’s also sitting across from a poster of the moon.
What are you on about pls elaborate
same vibe with tetsuo the iron man
Icarus should have taken a space-rocket
neat analysis, but why do you speak like there is a new sentence every 2-3 words, alsways with the same emphasis as well, its kinda comical.
14:33 for example, "such a connection. is not suited. for humanity. this is why. we see him banging. and scratching." etc, it kinda drives me nuts since i cant really focus on anything else, but otherwise great video
You can't become a god unless you die and then you can be anything you want.
Okay...girl.
Humans will be gods sometime. Aronofsky touched so many beautiful ideas in his movies but he cannot find anything else than trite resolutions like the Icarus myth. Well since then we built rockets that can go to other planets. So disappointing.
15:20 is that true about computers?
Me likey
@8:46 “PI i just a simple number created by humans…” jajajaja Dude you don’t know what you are talking about. I agree the movie is fantastic but, and it’s a paradox, math is the greatest achievement of human mind, giving religious characteristics to it is sacrilegious.
I can hear perfectly. Why do I have to be harassed by signs saying the same thing you're saying ???
ignorance is bliss
I disagree with the assumption that the golden ratio means the universe was designed. We invented math to interpret and understand things. It's not like math was already around and we discovered it, or that there's literal code in everything. We're just using it to describe what we're seeing.
GOD is your OS.
