A classic has been born

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2012)

I Loved this film,this film is the only production I have personally seen that can make the audience be hooked even though the majority of the film is on a row boat, it is full of mysteries, magic and passion.
The beginning of the film was very hooking, I adored the use of cross-cutting to tell this mans story, it was not only used to enhance the magic of the film, it was used to the best of its potential. There was also a balanced opinion on each religion portrayed it was not at all bias, Which was very pleasing. Life of Pi was a real eye-opener it made you look at the creatures in this film from a completely different point of view.
The scenes which you saw Pi progress ( as in growing more hair etc..) were successfully done, Pi did not look to over the top, You could really empathise with him and that was an amazing feeling. I have too admit I did in fact shed a few teardrops when Pi and his new dear friend were parted from each other, The narration played a very big part at that point, I felt that it just made it truly realistic. I put myself in his shoes and thought about what it would feel like if my Best friend had left me and never looked back, It was truly fantastic The only criticism I have is when the older Pi poses the question as to which story the author preferred, It made you question which one was true? Did Pi psychologically replace people with animals? I did not like how all your questions were answered and then suddenly more questions are posed when the film ends.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film, and it was well worth the time and money put into this. A classic has been born.
