...still, Medem's tightly crafted plot and interlacing narratives fit together like the proof of a logical theorem. His characters move like points on a coordinate plane, and when the movie is complete you can see the curve of the actions that they left trailing behind them. Perhaps whats most surprising is that all of this happens in the context of a love story...

...before you write me off as just another insane Harvard kid who was accepted simply for his ability to prove Fermat's last theorem backwards in tongues, hear...
...Princeton mathematician Andrew Wiles reveals his proof for Fermat's Last Theorem, which was proposed in the 17th century...
...thinking of theorems as patterns of symbols, Godel discovered that it is possible for a statement in a formal system not only to talk about itself, but also to deny its own theoremhood. The consequences of this unexpected tangle lurking inside mathematics were rich, mind-boggling and--rather oddly--very sad for the Martians. Why sad? Because the Martians--like Russell and Whitehead--had hoped with all their hearts that their formal system would capture all true statements of mathematics. If Godel's statement is true, it is not a theorem in their textbooks and will never, ever show...
