Visual Spectacle

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2013)

I am one of those idiots who did not watch this movie in theatres. Luckily I waited for the bluray and watched it. I heard big things about this movie and was doubtful whether it would reach my expectations. But yeah it did more than that. I was like a kid while watching the movie. No surprise in Ang Lee getting the Oscar for best direction. The amounts of courage, dedication and passion one needs to direct such an extravaganza with no known actors (though Irfan khan and Tabu are known). The film ponders upon many facets of life. The heart of the movie is Richard Parker. Without him there is no meaning for Pi's journey. Its one of those movies which can be watched with your kids and enjoy like they do.
