First off, I would like to say that this should be declared the film most likely to induce an epileptic seizure.

Now that I got that off my chest…

I will be the first person to declare my hatred of math in a group of people. This film, aside from simply being interesting because of Max’s utter insanity and obsession, shows the a most intriguing side of math that I don’t see very often.

I was extremely interested in the mathematical code of the Torah and want to look into that a bit more. The idea of the number creating an instant of self-awareness in the computer was the scene that grabbed me most intensely, I would have liked to hear more about it from the characters.

Ultimately I wonder, did Max find happiness? I would suppose so but then again one could always counter with: Is ignorance (or lack of genius in this case) bliss?
