Life of Pi is an adaptation of novel published with the same name in 2001by YArl Martel .The novel being rejected by 5 printers , when got printed, won many awards and titles. Barack Obama himself wrote a letter to the writer stating "an elegant proof of God, and the power of storytelling".
The movie has been shown in many fests and received very good critical responses .
Its head-scratching combination of dense religious allegory, zoological lore and enthralling adventure tale, written with warmth and grace.
The plot is divided into 3 parts .
In the first, the main character, Pi, an adult, reminisces about his childhood.
In the second part of the novel, Pi’s family embark on a small Japanese boat to Canada carrying some of the animals from their zoo, but a few days out of port the ship meets a storm and capsizes. After the storm, Pi regains consciousness in a small lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, a spotted hyena, an injured zebra, and an orangutan.
The third part is a conversation between two officials from the Maritime Department in the Japanese Ministry of Transport. They seek to ascertain why the ship sank, so they interview Pi, but they do not believe his story.
The final conclusion of the movie is very powerful .
The cast is indian and the movie is gonna be released in 3D also. Watching in 3D is gonna be more fun as its an adventurous journey tale.
Highly Recommended..
