Life of Pi (2012)


Summary: An adult Piscine Molitor Patel, otherwise known as Pi, tells an novelist about his adventure as a young man when he was in a shipwreck and had to share the lifeboat with an Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.


Pi

Richard Parker
This movie is filled with comical scenes, like the ones between Pi and Richard Parker or when it is showed that Pi as a young boy and raised Hindu also sort of converted to islam and christianity and also as an adult teatches Kabbalah, but also those completely unexplained, like the island they arives to or if what Pi sometimes sees are his dreams or hallucinations (not even Pi was sure). I found similarites to Robinson Crouse which I liked, but if it had been a bit less supernatural and fantasy it had become more like Robinson Crouse but with a tiger, some thing that I would have liked more.



The movie was also really slow and long which made it actually boring. The one thing that actually sort of saved the movie a lkittel bit was that in the end Pi was telling an other story, one where the animals in the lifeboat was replaced with actual humans and he himself was the tiger. 
That gave the movie an whole new perspective if you replaces the tiger with him. Did the trauma force him to change the story in his mind to cope with what had happened? Had his family actually a tiger in their zoo that he compared himself to? And, if so ... symbolizes the battel between Pi and Richard Parker the battel between himself?
