"Faith is a house with
many rooms." - Pi Patel (as an adult)
Why watch this? A
man tells his life story, but it feels more like an inspiring
dream.
Plot Summary:
A young man named Pi survives a shipwreck and finds himself
stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean. He is not alone,
however, as his only companion is a fearsome Bengal tiger named
Richard Parker. Pi must use his wits and resilience to survive
against the harsh elements and the wild animal, forming an
unexpected and profound connection with the tiger along the way.

Dad's Preview:
Pi Patel, in a recanted story of his life, describes his
adventure as survivor in a
disastrous sinking at sea. Director Ang Lee brings
this incredible (and once called "un-filmable") book to glorious life
in this visually-stunning, CGI-aided movie. Nominated for 11 Oscars, this
strange, fantasy-filled flick
brought home four awards, including Best Director and Best Visual
Effects. |
