This movie should be shown in math class.

To be accurate though, knowing math didn't save much life...we can say the theme is that math is useful, and also useful at producing false overconfidence that doesn't matter because there are still violent vengeful lustful psychotics that will stab the mathematicians in the back. Also, I don't think Kazan was even aware of his savant-ness as math, though it was exploitable by others to save a life.

Obviously a crystal clear statement about the perversion of science by the military industrial complex with the point: don't do math or a pervy almost pedophile will want to rape you.

Or, maybe not.

Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.
