Darren Aronofsky, Pi, 1997. (http://images-eu.amazon.com/ images/P/B00004D0C6.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg, September 12, 2004)
"When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified. Alone in that darkness. Slowly daylight crept in through the bandages. And I could see. But something else had changed inside of me. That day I had my first headache."
(From Darren Aronofsky, Pi, 1997)
An interview with Darren AronofskyInterview conducted by Ruby Rich from Inview.Kqed.Org concerning Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem For A Dream" and "Pi". B. Ruby Rich (Ruby): I think you really put people into the space of, well, of somebody with a migraine headache. You know, how do you get there? Do you get migraines? Darren Aronofsky (DA): No, a friend of mine who was a really talented actress, her career was basically devastated by her migraines, and I never realized they were so debilitating and I started talking to her and she, I started seeing artwork that came from, that migraine sufferers drew of their migraine attacks and it was exactly the type of things we were talking about, like the hand of god reaching down and pulling out a chunk of brain.

"Yes, Pi was The Movie For The Rest Of Us Migraine Sufferers. I love b&w cinema."
(Theoni, Newsgroups: alt.support.srs, November 24, 2001)
"That movie is so accurate in its depiction of migraines that watching it GAVE me a migraine!!! I love that movie!"
(Catherine Yronwode, Newsgroups: alt.magick, November 13, 2002)
"Yeah, there's a sort of masochistic quality to watching Pi if you have a history of migraines, isn't there. All the traits are there - including eyeing the power tools as potential therapeutic devices! The soundtrack has some of the best 'nerve' music around too."
(Paul Hume, Newsgroups: alt.magick, November 14, 2002)
Migraine and mysticism in Darren Aronofsky's film "Pi""Max Cohen, the main character of π, obviously undergoes several mystical experiences through the course of the film. It could be argued that Max had his first mystical experience when he was six years old, when he stared into the sun against the advice of his mother. During this experience, Max stared into the bright light of the sun and had a moment of intense focus, of understanding. He then became temporarily blinded, engulfed in darkness. Finally, he could see light again - his vision was restored. However, as Max states, 'Something had changed inside me.' That day, he suffered his first migraine." (Jodie A. Daquilanea, π: Aronofsky's Film and Its Signs of Mysticism, May 23, 2003) |
