A mathematical genius finds the digit that is "god". some business men and jews hunts his ass, to get a hold of it. he decides to put a drill in his head. when he wakes up, he has lost his ability to do math.
wery narrowed down here.

Nope. thats what he did.
and that little jap chick? in the beginning she asks him wery difficult math questions, she does with a calculator, and he answers them, annoyed. then after he drilled his head, he just smiles, and say "i dont know! i dont know the answer....". and he goes out and admires some leaves. it ends. so being clever doesnt mean you are a happy!

No, no, no. He dies. He kills himself. The not knowing the answer, not being good at math anymore, not having the pressures of his genius cluttering his mind is his idea of heaven.

Positive! Look at the difference in footage, too. It's grainy throughout except at a few key points--one of those being the end scene.

Amazing, i never thought of that.
but you cant prove any of our sayings. i think he survives! why should his idea of heaven be like that? even though the theory is good.
i say he survives.

It just seems more logical to me, I don't know. I don't have definitive proof, but it's my take on it. Call my a cynic, but I don't know many survivors of cerebral, self-induced drill attacks. ;)

The ending is entirely up to interpretation. We don't really know if he's dead, or still alive and brain damaged, or what.

Spooky lol
But I guess it can be interpretted either way, both views are pretty much the same though. Although I like the idea of he's in heaven at the end. It would make sense

interesting theory spookyluke what do you think about the end of crouching tiger?
and Dirty Priest, "little jap chick" is a bit derogatory (spelling?) to quote Walter inthe big lebowski, "Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, Asian American please."
naw just kidding dirty priest. say what you like. i am half japanese but it is impossible to offend me. some other folks might get offended though...

why should it be so difficult? what about - enjoy your life, don't think too much! Just imagine the last scene would be coloured.
i think he didn't put the drill in his head. it was an attack of his migraine.

according to the director's commentary on Pi, sean gullette (the guy who played max), is a "method actor" and they "rushed him to the hospital" after the take.

Thanks, those of you who accept my theory. As far as Crouching Tiger, I haven't seen it.

Crouching Tiger is a beautiful story mixed perfectly with a visual delight of the highest order. It's awesome epic fantasy.

You'd probably like it if you like Princess Mononoke.

yeah...the ending is supposed to be left open for interpretation...i watched the version with aronofsky's commentary...and he says that you have to figure it out for yourself...
so i guess he could either have given himself a labotomy, or killed himself ...there really is no right or wrong answer..
