Life of Pi
Life of Pi is an American fantasy drama film directed by Ang Lee. It was released on the year 2012. This movie is based on Yann Martel's 2001 novel of the same name. The leading characters of Life of Pi are played by Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Gérard Depardieu, Tabu, and Adil Hussain.
The movie Life of Pi is about the journey of a boy who has to survive alone in the middle of a sea on a boat, where his only companion is a Royal Bengal Tiger. This movie is in English, but the plot is based on an Indian boy with his local cultures and values, like what we saw in the drama movie Trishna.
Plot:
The movie Life of Pi starts with a conversation between the adult Pi and a tourist. Pi tells him about his childhood and how he gets the name “Pi”. Pi’s father owned a zoo and since childhood, Pi is familiar with the animals. One incident about a tiger is shown particularly from his childhood, as that experience has some special importance for the rest of the movie.
One day, when Pi is 16, Pi’s father decided to close the zoo and sell the zoo animals to some American buyers. His father also plans to settle in Canada. So few days later they start their journey in a Japanese ship, taking all the animals with them. Their ship falls in danger on a stormy night. Pi want to save this family, but the crews of the ship throw him in a lifeboat. The ship sinks and Pi, along with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a tiger ends up in that lifeboat. Gradually Pi loses companion and the last two survivors are Pi and that tiger.
Pi’s struggle for life starts from here. His challenges are to keep himself alive in the sea and to stay as far as possible from the tiger, again, to keep himself alive. Luckily, he finds some supplies in the lifeboat.
The next part of the movie is all about his journey and struggle. On the way, he finds different technique and has various experiences like a strange killer island, flying fishes, gigantic whale and so on.

My Reviews about Life of Pi:
First of all, it’s a beautiful piece of work. I guess everyone
will enjoy watching Life of Pi.
The plot of Life of Pi is exceptional and enjoyable. Although, at the
beginning of the movie, you can see that Pi has survived, but this movie was
never about the ending. Its all about the journey.
The acting of all characters is good enough.
The special effects of Life of Pi are beautiful. Several time I wondered
how they managed to shoot the scenes, specially the scenes with the man and the
tiger on the same boat. The other effects like the sinking ship, the strange
island, the whale, the lighting sea creatures, the flying fishes and everything else are a pure pleasure to watch in Life of Pi.
The best thing about Life of Pi is its cinematography. All scenes
are played really well. The mixture of good dialogues, good make-up, beautiful acting and splendid special
effects and animations have made it beautiful. The director has put special efforts to make you enjoy the scenic beauty of the nature throughout the movie Life of Pi. And these efforts
are a complete success. Even if the plot or the acting was not good like this, I’d
still enjoy watching this movie just for the beautiful scenes.
There is no nudity in the whole movie, so everyone can watch
it. Life of Pi has a very little romantic story, which ends before the journey of
the ship starts.
And “Life of Pi” also gives its own philosophy about
religion and life. May be, some of them can make you think.
The only thing I didn’t like about the movie Life of Pi is the accent.
No offence to anyone, but personally, I’m not a big fan of Indian English accent.
Overall, any movie lover should love Life of Pi. So I’d
recommend it as a ‘must see’ for all the movie fans.
