Performance of his life?
Pah!
Tis Laurence Of Arabia, of course, or maybe High Spirits.

Fuck off - A Beautiful Mind was schmaltzy crap and nothing like Pi - the only thing they have in common is maths.

..was a thriller and more about paranoid consipracy theories than anything else.
Look orang utan (your name suits you by the way) the film made little or no sense. Why would the corporate bods (lead by pamala hart) try and rough him up for information about mathematical model regarding the stock exchange. His models gave little or no returns, and it isn't an exact science anyway. His mentor (an opportunity missed) and him had silly arguments, when really a mini thesis would have wet the appetite for the film in general.
I was never convinced he was as great a mathematician as the movie protrayed him to be. Not one mention of string theory, QFT, QCD or J.F.Nash's 'non cooperative game' paper or another like it. Poor all round

Ultraviolet.
Good imagery, not much plot. Visual fun, another moving comic book.

I didn't understand the maths in Pi. I don't understand any maths.
I didn't even know what was going on.
But I still loved it.
I hate most films like that though.
muser said:Pi is for pretentious, middle class adolescents (who have failed their maths exam). A beautiful minds did it far better. And if you disagree with that I will swing for your fucking chin
What a fucking absurd statement. They're not even about the same thing, you dullard.
muser said:
yes, there's what orang utan said, in a nutshell.
Apart from where he said nothing of the sort..
muser said:
oh well done. So in the same way, we should assume that Once Upon A Time In The West and Wild Wild West are about the same thing because erm.. they both have horses in them and have West in the title.
tit.

Orang utan at least had the decency to admit that he didn't understand the maths involved, so he was viewing the film purely on the basis of cinematography, which I did admit was impressive. Though this a film does not make. There is a certain chic surrounding films like pi, not well known, slightly esoteric, good production values for the genre its appealing to i.e. arthouse types. But the substance is said film is lacking, and that is why he should be avoided, because it panders to particular mindset of which I and many do not belong.

Again, you're putting words into my mouth - I didn't mention the cinematography at all, though that is a major part of why I liked it. I found it intriguing and exciting, though I didn't quite understand it.muser said:
I didn't understand Primer either, but I thought that was a bag of shite.
muser said:
yes yes, i'm a wilful obscurantist with a loathing of conventional narrative and story arcs and the like. If it's low-budget indie nonsense count me in.
and you're a monkey

That is a pathetic comparison. If you have seen both films then tell me about the protaganist in both films, their lives, their pursuits. What about the central theme of the movie. Come dub, you don't have your sidekick on this thead, go give him a nudge so he can help you slander me.
muser said:
I don't think a thorough understanding of mathematical theory stops one enjoying the narrative in any way. Failure to fully comprehend the Golden Ratio doesn't stop me getting the gist and then following the story that results.
It's a bollocks argument, muser

Is calling me a monkey the highest form of abuse. Try answering a few questions, one I have put to you as I honestly feel you are the monkey (insult to monkeys) and I the homo sapien. Make that homo sapien superior.
muser said:
no, it's just more lighthearted than other terms of abuse i could wheel out. Almost playful, if you will. Because nothing you're saying is actually bothering me, I'm just enjoying watching you talk shite

thankyou
>Dubversion said:
So what you are saying is that he could have fed you any old shit and you would have blithely accepted he knew what he was talking about. As I have already stated sean gullette did not convince me he was a great mathematician. He was far too aloof to be taken seriously. Showing the audience of a man in study is no good if what comes out of his mouth is egotistical pap. You are following a small herd in liking this film. The fact that the herd is without me should make you happier.
