It definately creeped me out during the drilling scene because I knew what was coming, and the brain scenes also creeped me out, and that says a lot. No movie has ever made me feel that way, such intense suspense. I loved it.
I love this film (but then, you would expect *me* to say that wouldn't you?)
A wonderful stream of conciousness piece that has little to do with mathematics compared with the paradigms of mathematcs, whic is something that goes much deeper, and to the outsider, appears almost mystical.
The notion that these mathematicians can just reach into their brains and pull out something that tells us fundamentally about the nature of the universe is a magnificent idea for an arthouse movie like this. The idea of how it would affect someone to have that relationship going on inside them wioth this sort of mathematics is and idea rich with potential and possibility. Things which this film explored brilliantly.
Although I'm still trying to understand some of it, I thought the movie was well done. I loved the B&W and somewhat fuzzy picture. I also really liked the lighting and different camera angles.
