Life of Pi (2012)

 

 

 

     Have you imagined about being alone with animal in a strange place? Especially, if the animal is a terrifying tiger, what will you do? This movie is related to this matter. The movie Life of Pi is the second greatest 3D movie I have ever seen after I watched Avatar. The main character is an Indian man named Pi Patel. Because his father was the owner of a zoo, Pi could meet many animals and feel little interest in the tiger 'Richard Parker'.

 

     Then one day, Pi's father said that he must sell the zoo and move his family to Canada.

But, unfortunately, they met a huge storm while they were taking a ship. Although Pi tried to save his family, he was the only one who survived. By the way, there are strange animals such as zebra, orangutan, hyena in the lifeboat! To make matter worse, the other animals died and Pi was alone with Richard Parker! Pi struggled to survive with the wild tiger, trying to protect from the tiger. At first, he felt scared and attempted to fight bravely against Richard. But, as time goes by, he adapt to that situation and tried to commune with Richard.

 

 

     I think the relationship between Pi and Richard is similar to internal conflict of a human being. Although a person felt frightened about future and resist against it, he finally adjusts to that later. Also, Pi fed the tiger and trained to accept him in the boat during the adventure.Even when Richard fell into water, Pi rescued him because of a sense of kindship. I was impressed by the scene. I think that the tiger is just fierce animal and enemy of man.

 

     Most of all, I was moved to admiration by the fantastic computer graphics in this movie. When the night comes, the sea glittered by a lot of jellyfish. Sometimes a huge whale appeared during Pi's boring and tiring adventure. Everything in this 3D movie was enough to fascinate me. Are you curious about the ending? I will not tell you anything about that. Just watch it. You will enjoy this movie while you are watching it.

I want to give this movie two thumbs up!
