An interesting story that reminds me of movies like Big Fish and Bagger Vance

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2017)

Watching the life of Pi reminded of movies like Big Fish and The Legend of Bagger Vance, it had the feeling of a story within a story like these other movies offer. It was sad, bizarre, and strange and it had all these feelings.
The Life of Pi is told from Pi's adult perspective, he tells his story to an author interested in writing his life story. Pi tells of his childhood, his early life growing up in India, the zoo his father and family ran, his first love, and how his parents died. These are the parts that reminded me of Big Fish. The part where is parents die was very sad and it touched me. The rest of the story seems pretty cool but kind of weird and bizarre just like Big Fish. What I like about this movie is the story has morals to it, like growing up, letting things go, and learning from your mistakes, it also shows how one deals with the death of a loved one. But what really confused me is the fact Pi comes up with two versions of his survival story, and the audience has to decide which one is true, I prefer the animal story.
The reason I give The Life of Pi an eight is because it's a confusing story, it is a good story that teaches life lessons, but it doesn't make any sense. I like how the author lets us get to choose the two different stories.
8/10 for The Life of Pi
