LIFE OF PI - Directed by Ang Lee - 7/10
This movie adaptation of the book gives an amazing visual treat. I preferred to watch it in 3D and I would recommend the same to everyone.
Life of Pi is one of the movies that shows more promise than the book. Though the book gives exquisite details, the movie gives a more visual experience of those details.
The direction is top notch. You can't expect any less from an Oscar winning director. Steady hands. Perfect angles. And the close up shots of our only Richard Parker, the Bengal tiger. You surely wouldn't want to miss that. Cinematography is perfect.
Suraj Sharma as Pi Patel is a suitable find for the character. He surely can act. Perfect kick-start for his career. His rendezvous with Richard Parker and the chemistry between them is the factor that holds you to the movie.
Irrfan Khan has a brief and supporting role. He couldn't have done any better that this.
The background score is scene-oriented. Though the ambient sounds are incredible. Every detail of the sound has been looked out for.
In the end, a satisfying experience of picture and sound.
Its a story of belief. Its a story of faith.
If you have read the book, don't miss out the movie. If you haven't, and the movie trailer interests you, then go for it.
Go splash in the Pacific for an amazing adventure.
