worth every penny and hour spent!

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2013)

I just finished watching the movie Life of Pi, no words can really surmount to the story and moral of the movie.
From the very moment the movie started there was a few downs and as the movie progresses on, you'll find yourself hooked into a movie worthy of standing ovations and a whole cinema in applause. Pi, whose origins roots to India, is a the sole survivor of a Japanese cargo shipwrecked, the reason of the shipwreck is unknown in the story however, it is already seen in the very beginning if viewers were paying attention.
So as Pi survived, along with him a Orangutan named Orange Juice, a Hyena named Hari, an unnamed Zebra, and his companion through out the whole story a Tiger named Richard Parker. The other three animals die of hunger and feud and so leaving Richard and Pi together. Pi teaches Richard to become submissive and obedient to him through a series of struggles and eventually they both survived in the end, although, what happened to Richard is unknown whether he lived on after reaching the Mexican shore is for our imagination to work its wonders.
Even though, most would probably choose the second version of the story that Pi told the Japanese investigators and its convincing for humans I'd prefer the original story that Pi overcame.
Overall, the movie is jaw dropping, the cinematography is very well done, the story...ORIGINAL! No words can really express the lesson in the movie, survival, friendship/taming tigers, above all faith in God.
How about you, "Which story do you prefer?"
