Life of Pi is a 2012 American adventure drama film based on a novel of the same name. Directed by Ang Lee, the film is based on an adapted screenplay by David Magee, and stars Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Rafe Spall, Gérard Depardieu, Tabu, and Adil Hussain.
The storyline revolves around a 16-year old Indian boy named Pi, who survives a shipwreck in which his family dies, and is stranded in the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
This movie is AMAZING. Everything about it is amazing, the acting, the cinematography, everything. I can definitely say this is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. The special effects really draw the audience in, the director and cinematographer really knew how to bring the novel to life and there are just so many jaw dropping moments.
I think my favorite scene is when he lands on an island that has only meerkats on it. In the day time the island looks like any other regular island with a jungle, but at night the whole island looks like its glow in the dark. It is so beautiful, it's hard to describe. At this point in the movie, Pi has been in the ocean for such a long time, that he is ready to stay on the island with the meerkats for the rest of his life. But while he is looking into a small body of water that is glowing, he sees dead fish and other things. He soon realizes that the island eats the things that live on it when the sun sets, so he leaves the island in the morning. It is definitely one of those scenes in any kind of action/ adventure film where you think that the hero or main character has finally achieved what they have set out to do but then it all goes wrong.
All I can say is, if you haven't seen this movie, you must.
