"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 a disastrous sinking at sea. Director Ang Lee brings this incredible (and called "un-filmable") book to glorious life in this visually stunning movie. Nominated for 11 Oscars, it brought home four, including Best Director and Best Visual Effects.
