It is not often that a movie catches my attention like this one did...

How does one put to words the emotions that Life of Pi generates? It ain't easy.
At first I chose the movie on TV because there was nothing else on...literally! I caught it after it had started, when he was with his family on the ship (in the chow line no less). I thought, OK, just another half hearted attempt at making some money and went back to browsing on the "pooter", thinking "ho hum, better than watching a million reality shows anyway. Then the increased volume of the shipwreck made me look up. Never went back to the computer until the movie ended. Talk about grabbing you!
The Life of Pi is decidedly slow moving, and necessarily so, in order to capture the fear, frustration and emotional roller coaster that being lost at sea can bring. Add wild animals into the mix, three of which don't last long, and you begin to create a very interesting story. Captivating is a good word...
