Life of Pi - What more do you want from me?
I go through life seeing and hearing about things. Stuff that never happens to me, but maybe that's a good thing. Most of the time these things happen to people that I believe need some form of redemption. And maybe it's God giving them that chance. I hate to get preachy and deep like this in a review, but in a sense, this movie seems a bit like that. Not much...but a bit. Life of Pi starred Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Ayush Tandon and Gautam Belur. Funny enough all played Pi. The director was Ang Lee, who also did Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Broke Back Mountain. This movie had a lot of hype, being called the next Avatar, or something like that. Let me tell you that is a poor analogy. I hated Avatar...the movie disgusted me with it's lack of originality. Pi is nothing like that. This movie was slow, but it was amazing; touching really. I don't want to sound like a pussy but it was kind of beautiful. This movie itself was a bit preachy on God, but I didn't seem to mind so much. This story showed me a lot, not just about life and religion, but I saw other things as well. But I believe you see what you want to see when it comes to movies and music. With Pi I saw that when you build a relationship with something or someone, and that something comes to be close to you, even depend on you for survival. That something will leave you the first chance it gets, and never look back. But that's just me. This tale of survival is amazing, the visuals were amazing, the acting was amazing. I loved every bit of this film, and would pay again to see it. I give Life of Pi a 4 out of 4. I only saw the reflection of my heart in it's eyes.
