In Reply to: Pi's "frenetic ugliness" is part of it's appeal . . . posted by albee33 on April 12, 2003 at 09:14:11:
that frenetic ugilness appealed to me also, along with many other
elments, Aronoksy's directing style, the stark,high contrast
B&W photography, Sean's performance as Max, the soundtrack, the
suspense, etc. Aronoksy's film in some respects reminded me of
Lynch's "Eraserhead", only with a quicker pace, and with Cronenberg's
"Videodrome"(the hallucinations, especially of the brain). I must
also admit that I'm still digesting his slice of "Pi", it's a big
piece! Max took sumatriptan and dihydroergotamine mesylate for his blinding
headaches and promazine for his severe psychoemotional condition,
possibly paranoid schizophrenia; however, schizophrenics do not
normally hallucinate visually, but rather aurally. The shaking
door hallucination reminded me of the original "The Haunting" where
Claire Bloom is in bed and the large oak door starts doing weird
things! Max had already listed failed treatment: weed, percodan,
violent exercise, steroids, accupuncture,etc. As for the capsules
he periodically swallowed, not sure, surmise probably some kind of
downer, barbituates, etc.
As for the ending, what's your take? - AH
