Did Max die?
At the end, Max drills into his head, was that symbolic? Did he do it and live? Is he dead? Someone please explain.
shareIt's up to you to decide.
(spoilers)
The final scene with Max talking with Jenna is either meant to represent Max killed himself, and is at peace in a sort-of afterlife, or he just simply drilled all the chaos out of his head and is now 'normal'.
I like to think the latter is what happened.
Either way, that scene was incredibly powerful for me. It's a shame Aronofsky has sort of tainted it by recycling the same "did the protagonist die?" ending into (almost)all his following films.

I can't remember requiem to comment on the ambiguity of its end, but I know black swan and the wrestler the main character die in both. It is quite obvious, especially in black swan, and regarding the wrestler he made a reddit comment saying "he obviously died."
I think Pi is the one film where he doesn't die, making it actually different from the rest.
