I love me some Aaronofsky; thought it was well executed and although the plot was a bit "ooookay" I went with it and loved it.Rodneyhttp://www.fernbyfilms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-85772150302751334782015-09-03T00:49:53.244-04:002015-09-03T00:49:53.244-04:00I did get into it more towards the end.

I didn't have that experience of it as a chore and him "outside our reach like an animal on exhibit at the zoo", but I accept that was the case for you. At least you got into it a bit towards the end.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-82207211115327843802015-09-02T10:28:03.088-04:002015-09-02T10:28:03.088-04:00By the end I was also pulled in by the plot, but i...By the end I was also pulled in by the plot, but it took so long to actually show up it was a problem.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-41244041256530241652015-09-02T09:21:53.799-04:002015-09-02T09:21:53.799-04:00Yeah, I really liked Pi, but I don't think I&#...Yeah, I really liked Pi, but I don't think I'll ever watch it again, even though I own it. I actually kinda liked the murkiness of the cinematography - it works with the murkiness of the story. But it is a bit oppressive. You're probably right about the character being at arm's length, but I was always pulled in by the plot (I have a thing for puzzles). Very nice write-up!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-35663823170462303992015-09-02T08:17:46.789-04:002015-09-02T08:17:46.789-04:00Lots of people speak highly of it.

That said, it gets better as it goes along and many critics love it.

I honestly hadn't heard much of PI before, I also like The Wrestler and Black Swan, but I don't think I'll be adding it to my 'list' any time soon. Well done on finding the time to watch it though, it can get so difficult to fit in this stuff especially when it's not just a case of finding the time!Rebecca Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442723521295382425noreply@blogger.com
