A story of Cannibalism

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2012)

Warning: Don't take your children to see this movie! The cute and beautiful trailer is very deceiving!
The true story is gruesome and horrible even for adults. After a shipwreck, a religious boy had to eat the flesh of crews and even his own mother. The pragmatic teachings from his father urged him to survive at anything, while the religious teachings from his mother helped him to imagine an alter ego (the Tiger) to deceive and pacify himself.
Adult Pi suffers from Post-traumatic syndrome. His face shows little emotional expression, typical of PTSD. He can only numb himself and come to peace with the help of religion and family.
Pi is religious because otherwise he would die or go crazy.
The teaching of this movie is: Religion is the opium for the masses (Karl Marx). When President Obama wrote to Ang Lee saying: 'an elegant proof of God', he did not understand this movie...... So did so many moviegoers......
