A very touching , inspiring , and unique movie .

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2014)

Which story is the true one ? the one that has the animals or the one that has the cook, the sailor and Pi's mother ? that's the question I asked myself after finishing the movie .
Actually I thought at the beginning that the tiger story was the true one , but I rejected that opinion later .. as if it was that simple the movie would be so shallow , and I didn't feel that during watching it , also the company representative said that bananas don't float , etc.
So , what other explanations do we have ? The only explanation I could come up with is that the story - the one that has the tiger in it - was symbolic .. the novelist himself explained that by matching the characters .. the hyena is the cook , the zebra is the sailor , the orangutan is Pi's mother , and of course the tiger is Pi .
I thought it was very brilliant to show that humans could be sometimes animalistic in their actions if they were put in circumstances that stimulates their instincts , such as hunger , thirst , feeling unsafe , etc.
And as we've seen, maternal instinct overcomes other instincts , and the only character that faced its animalistic symbol was Pi ..
So , I think that the whole story was to show us the facing between 2 different pictures of man .. evil and good .
Also I've been impressed by directing , acting .. Suraj made me cry over .. a tiger !
A very touching , inspiring , and unique movie .
But I've one question : how should this story make me believe in god ?! (though I do believe in him) .. also I didn't get the point of him being following 3 religions , was it to show us how tolerance should be ? worshiping different gods beside the one I believe in ? that was very uncalled for .
