Life of Pi
Ready for a journey to an exotic locale? Maybe you are looking for an exciting adventure that also brings with it an existentially thought-provoking story? If this is what you seek, Life of Pi is your film tonight.
I had heard about this film a lot since it came out in 2012. I had heard that the book was excellent, I heard that it was a beautiful film, and I had heard about the Oscar-winning digital effects company that had gone bankrupt because of this film.
All of what I heard was true. The film is stunning. It goes from the colorful country of India to the sandy beaches of Mexico, and it covers the Pacific Ocean in between. This film really takes you into a wonderful world full of open-ended questions. Pi, the main character, talks about his life journey and how he lost his family, but never lost hope.
I can't say much else about the film other than it was a pleasure to watch. It made me think, but not so much that I am going to change my life entirely. It did make me cry, and it made me laugh. It helped me have a greater respect for animals and for engineers. Why engineers? Pi's journey forces him to built some impressive contraptions with limited resources. It makes you appreciate the genius that is contained within an engineer.
