I just watched Life of Pi. It is a film adaptation from a novel by Yann Martel. I've got the book for a long time, but I haven't read it. The movie makes me want to read it soon! The novel was previously deemed unfilmable but it was brought to the screen in breathtaking fashion by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee. He cast Suraj Sharma — a 17-year-old with no previous acting experience — in the lead role of Pi Patel.
The story is a grand adventure on an epic scale, a survival story that takes up half the movie. Life of Pi is about a man named Pi who survived storm with a tiger. He confronts thirst and starvation, finds a modus vivendi with the fierce tiger, endures and wonders at a mighty storm, a squadron of flying fish, a humpbacked whale, a school of dolphins, a night illuminated by luminous jellyfish. The 227 days at sea are a test of physique, mental adaptation and faith.
This poetic Life of Pi concludes with a fascinating, deliberately prosaic coda that raises questions about the reality of what we've seen and confronts the teleological issues involved.
Life of Pi has contributed to one of 2012’s most memorable movie ever.
100% for Life of Pi
