The film of this week is Life of Pi. Pi has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, they get on a Japanese ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a tiger.
Soon, there’s only Pi and the tiger. They spend 227 days in the Pacific Ocean. Pi’s fear, knowledge, and wisdom keep him alive. Finally, they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle. The Japanese who question Pi don’t believe his story, so he tells a second one --- more normal, less interesting. But is it truer?
The film is really touching, meaningful and unusual. It’s also a story, as some audiences say, to “make you believe in God.”
