Life of Pi



Unbelievable cinematography, fantastic pyrotechnics, a simple yet fascinating plot and amazing acting; these put together, served as a perfect recipe for the latest film, “The Life of Pi”. This movie is an epitome of one person’s understanding of the harshness of the seas and the importance of being hopeful at all times. For the entire two and a half hours, I sat, gaping in awe and amazement. No movie before, not even “3 Idiots”, had kept me so riveted to my seat.
Piscine Molitor Patel, a teenage boy from Pondicherry learns that his family is going to shift from Pondicherry to USA, to start a zoo there. On the way there, the ship they travel in crashes, killing everybody but Piscine and his tiger, Richard Parker. Together, they battle the seas and the storms and the whole movie is about the hurdles they face and overcome together as man and beast. The movie’s ending is not predictable; I will let you find out for yourself.
