What kind of story do you prefer?

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2015)

I think this movie is a master piece in storytelling. The opening is so calm and colorful and both idea of the film is shown: First, the animals are somehow like us; second, we the humans are somehow like them. Then the story goes and goes till the original story and the see trip. We have been told two stories. Two good stories, and both are unprovable. Then we should choose what story is better, and we see that this is an irony, because we find out that in the real life, we should choose between two stories too, and that is simply fascinating.
Also the role of the principle animal, tiger, is very important. In one story he (honestly I didn't know the tiger was either "he" or "she" but I say "he" because they called him Richard Parker) is the main reason to keep awake the conciseness of pi and therefor to keep alive him. In the other story, he is the pi himself, and what we see in first story is indeed the symbols of pi's actions. So the idea of animals are people and people are animals also narrated very well and cleverly in this movie.
I want say another two things. One is that the idea of interchanging used in everywhere of Life of Pi, like "a Canadian who's come to French India in search of a story" and "l know an Indian in French Canada with the most incredible story to tell." And the other thing is I saw "All Is Lost" before this movie and this two movies are so different with each other.
