PiReleased in 1998 (review written February 7, 2025)Rating: 9/10 ![]() This movie has CIA written all over it. Before going into that though, it's also a good movie too -- full of suspense and anxiety like only a neurotic Jew could display. Max Cohen looks very similar to the random Jewish guy used in The Residents' music video "Hello Skinny" (click here to watch that). The staring of strangers on the street really adds to the paranoia, and all the director had to do was film people without saying a word. They provided natural reactions. The musical score was excellent too and it's hard to say no to drum 'n bass. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So here are some pertinent pieces of information:
It makes sense considering both Darren Aronofsky and Sean Gullette (Max) came out of Harvard, a major CIA recruitment school. Some more strange things I noticed: Sean Gullette wrote essays for magazines, including Spy and another called KGB. His mother Margaret Morganroth is a resident scholar at Brandeis University, founded in 1948, the same year as the founding of Israel and one year after the start of the CIA. ![]() And what's this? Among the film's benefactors are "Schilds". I found Mark and Shara Schild related to Bertram Schild, a tax accountant and private stock market investor, and his wife Suzanne Dreyfus. Could Suzanne be related to Gerard Louis-Dreyfus and his daughter Julia? His net worth in 2016 was approximately $3.4 billion. Could Bertram Schild actually be a Rothschild? Considering the material in this movie, I would say yes to both. So what propaganda is the movie selling us? First and foremost, it is telling the audience that the stock market is a natural, chaotic system and if only we could make sense of it, we'd make tons of money. That's bullshit! The stock market is fake and completely ordered and totally rigged. They want you to think it's real so you don't notice that they're generating money from absolutely nothing, and handing over the secrets to their friends. Since the Phoenicians/Jews and the CIA are the ones manufacturing fake world events (chemical spills, shootings, elections, sports, etc) they know who "wins" and know ahead of time a stock will go down; thus they tell their buddy to buy in during the dip, knowing the company will bounce back after the fake event wears off and the public's tiny attention span looks away. The movie also sells the idea that noticing numerical patterns is crazy. You're a nut if you actually pay attention and notice how many famous people were either born on or died on some variation of 1, 8, 33, or 47. I still love this movie and will watch it every now and then because of the stylization. Good job on that front, but you won't get me on the other ones. |
