movies are art. art is entirely a matter of opinion.
it's entirely possible for somebody to see similarities that you don't and for that person to give those similarities greater weight than you, perhaps would.
please don't belittle the opinion of others to the detriment of your substantial contribution to this forum. thanks.

Not all art is open for interpretation. Especially not such broad and imaginative interpretation. There are basic facts and truths in any movie, even the most symbolic. Sure, they may not always be obvious, but for the purposes of THIS PARTICULAR discussion, it is AMAZINGLY EVIDENT to anyone with even a basic attention span that Pi and A Beautiful Mind are not even close to the same. If someone sees ANY similarities that I don't AND gives them any weight at all, then maybe that person should stick with movies that require a little less thought, like "Dude Where's My Car". Now THAT is some art that is just RIPE for interpretation.
Adios,
