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.

IX.         Theme of the movie

·         Brotherhood amidst of indifference

·         Religion culminates to one’s personal belief system and devotional life.

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.
