characters:
Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel-- He

its depth and scope. His youthful exploration into comparative religion

stranded on the lifeboat with Pi when the ship sinks. The tiger lives on the
lifeboat with Pi and is kept alive with food and water Pi delivers. Richard
Parker develops a relationship with Pi that allows them to coexist in their

I.
The most exciting parts/events
When
you are watching a movie, every scene should never be missed. Even if the movie
was brought through narration, it never became dull. Every part was very
exciting. But I found the part where Pi ventures the ocean while praying and
asking for the guidance of God the most exciting part.
II.
The least exciting parts/events
Every
part on the movie growls me out; nothing was least to look out.
III.
The kind of sound used
a.
Music -> endowing manifestation, manipulates my brain to cry
b.
Songs-> with a heart triumphant message
c.
Sound effects-> dragging to its viewers
IV.
A similar film to this one:
The
movies from Bollywood once again touched the lives of people across the globe,
it has its own interpretation about reality, and this one is incomparable.
V.
Unbelievable parts
An
animal will forever remain to be one. But in this movie amazingly an animal
transformed logically as human being. Behind the truth of becoming ferocious,
Richard Parker (tiger) continued his free existence with a human being.
VI.
Remarkable scene
A human being coexists with an
inhumane creature? Weird query, but in the movie it goes real. The two
different creatures learn to communicate with each other. As the movie
concludes, the art of saying goodbye was not practiced. And that was the most
remarkable scene. I uttered nothing, means nothing was remarkable. Everything
was.
VII.
Narrative structure
Life
of Pi is told from two alternating points of view, the main character Pi in a
flashback and Yann Martel himself, who is the visiting writer interviewing Pi
many years after the cat in the boat story. This technique of the intrusive
narrator adds the documentary realism to the book, setting up, like a musical
counter-point, the myth-making, unreliable narrator, Pi. The reader is left to
ponder at the end whether Pi’s story is an allegory of another set of parallel
events or vice versa.
VIII.
Synopsis
Piscine
Molitor “Pi” Patel is the narrator and protagonist of the novel. He was named
after a swimming pool in Paris, despite the fact that neither he nor his father
particularly liked swimming. The story is told as a narrative from the
perspective of a middle-aged Pi, now married and with his own family, and
living in Canada. At the time of main events of the story, he is sixteen years
old. He recounts the story of his life and his 227-day journey on lifeboat when
his ship sinks in the middle of the Pacific Ocean during a voyage to North
America. When Pi let the writer choose what story he prefers, the writer
answers the one with the tiger because it is with God.

X.
My opinion about the movie
Pi asks the lord, but he still
suffered. For what, even if he lived the most godly life one teenage could ever
live on. When Pi was certain to his comment about his own religion after the
novelist asked him upon seeing him saying amen, I then realize that he was
right. No one knows what he would be until it was being introduced to him. The
movie cannot be defined through mediocre description, but one word might do.
Awesome and extremely performed. Greatly undeniable.
