11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
Darren Aronofsky's feature film debut is a black-and-white mind trip that follows Maximillian Cohen as he dives headfirst into schizophrenia. I often compare this film to "A Beautiful Mind". Even though Ron Howard's film is based on a true story, I find this movie to be the more realistic depiction of a mathematics whiz losing his mind. Aronofsky uses the camera to make the viewer feel what Max feels and gain a better understanding of his mental illness.
If you are at all interested in the psychology of the human mind, or if you found "A Beautiful Mind" to be a little too cheery and unrealistic then I strongly urge you to check this movie out.
