A Novelist's Poetic Painting

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2012)

Life of Pi is National Geographic in 3D. Plus William Wordsworth's poetry. Plus Pablo Picasso's painting. Plus Relations. Plus Philosophy. Plus God. Yann Martel's story couldn't have been more picturesquely depicted. Ang Lee has capitalized on 3D technology to deliver a visual masterpiece. The movie opens 3D for new genre of cinema and proves how a movie adapted from novel can be made to reach that imagination level with help of technology. Here imagination is not just the animals or the landscape, but even in moments when the protagonist is lonely, you feel you are there right there with him in moments of disdain. Moreover, as an Indian, am proud of Suraj's impact debut and Irrfan Khan's benign presence in the movie.
