A very good movie bearing the message of philosophy solved through rationality

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2012)

Life of Pie...the name although did not interest me at all on the firsthand, but after starting the journey with Irrfan khan aka Pi Patel, I became convinced that director Ang Lee had done one of his best jobs with this movie. Mesmerized, mystified I witnessed the adventure of Pi,a pondicherry boy through struggles in life. The questions of rationality, existence,and beautiful philosophy that God can give us having utter faith upon him was so easily depicted. From the little Krishna exposing Pi to thinking on a cosmic scale, to Vishnu showing the supreme serenity, to Christ taking pain for good of all. Pi, a topper of his class, although thought differently because he thaught from the purity of heart. Not always by brain. The way he introduced himself to Richard Parkour nearly killed him, but the way he saved Richard parkour, saved his life too giving sign of a mighty heart. This movie also is a platform to describe us why a faint hearted man can not accept God, but Pi could because of his inner beauty, love and dedication with hardwork to achieve something. Thats why at the end of story, it seems that his mother smiles at the end of table while having dinner. Pi of course,in the end also thanks hid father for teaching him to be rational. He found his God being rational and thats where the crunch of story lies with its beauty.
