A few holes in a beautiful fabric

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2013)

This is a lovely story, beautifully told by the wonderful Ang Lee. But there were a few moments where things just didn't seem to hold together very well or where the story felt like it had a gap. It reminded me of a great garment you might find at a vintage store that may have a few holes, but you still want to take home because the fabric and styling are so amazing.
I personally resonated with the moral issues of how to treat animals,especially in such an extreme situation. (I was glad to hear a kids asking his mother why Pi expressed remorse at killing a fish. Perhaps this will plant a seed for future mindfulness.) The "God" stuff wasn't really my favorite, but I understand it's part of the story. In fact, I wondered why Buddhism was left out of Pi's tour of world religions.
