Pi (1998)

Maximilian Cohen (Sheen Gretel Sean Gullette), a talented Jewish mathematician, is obsessed with the world of numbers. He believes that everything in nature can be explained by numbers. He devoted himself to research and tried to deduce the mysteries and laws behind various signs of life through numbers. But the closer he got to the answer, the more he could not stand the fatal headache. He found that the chaotic volatility of the stock market over the past decade was actually manipulated by a mathematical model behind it. At the same time, his research attracted the attention of speculators in the Wall Street stock market and the Jewish mystical sect. In the world between the real and the virtual, Maxie is going crazy. In February 1996, Aronofsky began working on the debut of the feature film, which cost only $60,000. Two years later, the death Code became a blockbuster with its novel creativity and new shooting techniques. First, he won the director award at the Sundance Film Festival, and the following year he won the award for best screenplay debut in the Independent Spirit Award. In 2000, he once again wrote and directed the Requiem of Dreams, which also won a good response. In 2005, he was also shortlisted for the "top 100 Hollywood people to pay attention to".
