Life of Pi movie review

    You don't just watch this movie, you live it” - Peter Travers

    Life of Pi is a Hollywood movie directed by Ang Lee made in Indian context, based on a book written by Yan Martel. It narrates to us the story of a boy named after a french swimming pool, who gets caught in a storm along with a tiger on a life boat and survives it because of his tenacity.

    The movie throughout seems to be an Indian cinema shot in English. This feeling may be attributed to Indian actors, easily understandable dialect, simple dialogues and of-course the emotions it arouses in ones heart.

    The movie also teaches us to never loose hope and to move on...happily :) this message is delivered not with heavily loaded sentiments but with simple words and gestures topped with amazing photography, apt graphical usage and a strong story-line.

    Life of Pi is not only technically strong, but also artistically. The casting and direction are definitely commendable. The 3D effect in the movie shows how beautiful technology will be when blended with art. The young Pi faces the sea in its roughest forms and also in its most breathtaking beauty. The movie involves us so much that, we feel that we are being a witness to a real life going on. Suraj sharma who plays this role shows all the emotions with such an ease!

    What else can one expect from a movie but to be entertained; And Life of Pi fulfills this expectation fully. It allows you to just sit back, relax and take in the vastness of the ocean, brightness of the sun, the clear blue skies and the miracles of nature.

    One last word must be said about the lullaby that plays in the background at the start and end of the movie. Never mind the lyrics, you may not understand them but the tune and the tone lingers in your head for sometime after you come out of the cinema!

    Go watch the movie, if you want to have a two and half hours of good entertainment and some refreshing memories to take back after those 150 min come to an end.
