Sci Fi Movie Night: Pi
Pi
The mathematician Maximillian Cohen is tormented by a severe migraine
since he was a kid, and he uses many pills to reduce his painful
headaches. He is a lonely man, and his only friend is his former
professor Sol Robeson. Max has the following assumptions, which rules
his life: (1) Mathematics is the language of nature; (2) Everything
around us can be represented and understood from numbers; (3) If you
graph the numbers in any systems, patterns emerge. Therefore there are
patterns everywhere in nature. Based on these principles, Max is
trying to figure out a system to predict the behavior of the stock
market. Due to his research, Max is chased by a Wall Street company
with obvious interest in the results of his studies, and by an
orthodox Jew follower of the Torah, who believes that this long string
of numbers is a code sent from God. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio
