18 - The Life of Pi (Jan 18)

Get swept by this tale that is engaging in every picture shown on screen. Based on the charming book that is somehow adept for young adult readership. The innocence of this story has revealing truths about self, faith and the human courage and strength. This is a wonderful adventure brought more to life in the screen by Ang Lee with sweeping visuals, colors and cinematography.

Based on the book by Yann Martel about a young boy discovering life lessons in his childhood growing up in India. His learning about faith and his own strengths and passions then faces a tragedy that his young life will have to deal for him to survive. He survives a ship reck, loses his family and battles days to survive in a life boat with live Bengal tiger.

This amazing capture of this story will live through your mind as a unique cinematic adventure and experience through music and stunning images. Truly remarkable and unbelievable, of stories that can only be believed with a true heart of adventure and spirit of will and faith.

My only problem is how the narration is weaved through the dreamlike retelling of the bo'ys story. Somehow his recounting as a grown man don't weave through the main story told in the film, the transitions should have been made to look to mold or swift into a story telling state, it was not dramatically transcribed.
