Life of Pi

[lawrawrrr]

I saw it, as well as read the book, have an intense love-hate relationship with it, but I think @Andii; completely missed the point of what the movie was about.

Well said! It's an extremely interesting book and back-story that can be extremely confusing (I had to read most parts of the book at least twice) but the whole thing can be so good! I'm waiting for the DVD as I don't really have the time to go to the cinema any more

I struggled to get through most of it because it was a bit dry and confusing, but once part three came around and I read it, I became so furious and it all clicked into place, and just... I don't think another book has ever made me so upset before. Like, I literally questioned my life, and I didn't even trust another book after that. I felt, when reading something, it's only proper to assume what you've read so far is what's happened, right? It's law, canon in whatever universe the story is set in. But then, bam! Plot twist. I was extremely conflicted, and felt utterly betrayed.

I didn't mind the movie but why are they making movies like this? Another movie was called The book of eli..

The first bit was soo slow, I thought I was going to hate it! But part of me just thought, there's interesting words and stuff, it could pick up, and even after it became so incredulous I still wanted to see what happened and it's just SO COOL that Martel was able to do that. Really evokes some strong emotions - an author able to betray someone (I totally agree in that's what he does) is a pretty awesome talent to have!

Because it's one of the bestselling modern books which a lot of people enjoy and would like to see made into a movie - especially considering the story behind it is so interesting and poignant to film and show!

We went to watch it yesterday and tbh the advert is quite misleading IMO. When i watched the trailer i assumed the boy on the boat would become real friendly with the tiger and it would end in a nice way. (a nice movie for say little kids) But the truth is that the movie has underlying morals and messages that not only could other members of my family not grasp, but took myself a while to get around too. I think it was a good movie and at some points got quite confusing. It does take a while to actually get somewhere though (was slow at the beginning). Also the ending is rather confusing too but is crucial in understanding to why certain events ended the way they did. Once you've seen it once, you may want to see it again to actually understand the story. I'd rate is a 6 out of 10 =/ However the book apparently explains the story a lot better then what the movie did.

I didn't really understand Part 1 until I read Part 3, and then I questioned myself if I was Mr Kumar or Mr Kumar.

That's one of my biggest complaints about the movie, that they didn't add those two plots.

Went to see it yesterday and loved it. It's amazing and so emotional! It's roughly on for 2 hours but the time flew!
