A great deal is made about how Pi is Christian, Hindu and Moslem at the same time because all religions lead to god – but this mélange of religions never escapes the feel of a tourist guide for shallow religions. The opening 30 minutes consist of anecdotes about French swimming pools, shots of various religions and animals.
#Life of pi lifeboat movie
If it were only the story of Richard Parker and Pi in a life-boat I would have thoroughly loved Life of Pi but unfortunately the movie comes packed inside a spiritual selfhelp guide. Ang Lee explores both the beauty as well as the danger of nature. From time to time the ocean is rendered in a beautiful majesty – at other times the ocean is a terrible force to fear. Add to that the visual vignette of director Ang Lee and this story is a marvelous thing to look at. Richard Parker is beautifully animated and the power-struggle between man and animal is thoroughly engaging. The central story of Life of Pi is a great showcase of visual effects driven storytelling.
Next to a few other animals there is a big tiger – named Richard Parker – in the lifeboat and Pi has to learn to not only find food but to somehow survive while a tiger wants to kill him. He is now alone in a lifeboat… well not alone. Unfortunately a storm causes a shipwreck and kills everyone of Pi’s family. When the family decides to sell the animals oversea they all board a ship transporting them and the animals. The movie is about Piscine „Pi“ Patel (Suraj Sharma) whose father owns a zoo in India. Life of Pi is an adaption of the book of the same name by Yann Martel.
