very cool non-mainstream movie
After watching it, I felt that this movie seemed to have nothing to say, and the theme was a little dull. To borrow a sentence, "too bookish", especially when Max was chased by two factions at the end of the film, I thought the climax was coming, and the mystery was about to be revealed. But here,...

The nature of the world and social norms
It's really good, as far as I understand the part. The shots are punchy, with good use of black and white overexposure and contrast. You can feel it when you're crazy. Math is beautiful. Those who pursue the truth/world law are either hard-thinking or almost insane, social fears are unbearable and...

Sol Robeson: The Ancient Japanese considered the Go board to be a microcosm of the universe. Although when it is empty it appears to be simple and ordered, in fact, the possibilities of gameplay are endless. They say that no two Go games have ever been alike. Just like snowflakes. So, the Go board actually represents an extremely complex and chaotic universe. And that's the truth of our world, Max. It can't be easily summed up with math. There's no simple pattern.
Maximillian Cohen: But as the game progresses, the possibilities become smaller and smaller. The board does take on order, soon the moves are predictable.
Sol Robeson: So? So?
Maximillian Cohen: it, there is a pattern, an order underlying every Go game. Maybe that patter is like the pattern in the stock market, the Torah, this 216 number...
Sol Robeson: This is insanity, Max!
Maximillian Cohen: Maybe it's genius! I have to get that number!
Sol Robeson: Hold on! Slow down! You're losing it! You have to take a breathe. Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug with one you might've had and some religious hogwash. If you want the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from your street corner to your front door, 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything you filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere. 320, 450, 22, whatever. You've chosen 216 and you'll find it everywhere in nature. But, Max, as soon as you discard scientific rigour, you are no longer a mathematician, you're a numerologist.
