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.

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?

Utflykt till Järvafältet

Vi parkerade på en väg bakom IKEA nära den gamla grinden till F8 och startade promenaden. på sträckan såg vi både Grågås och Highland Cattle samt skymtade en stor kråkkoloni bland trädtopparna.

Tillslut slog vi oss ned på toppen av en kulle med fantastisk utsikt.

Arrak var rätt så nöjd med sin plats längst ifrån oss, men Emma tyckte att det var på tok för långt ifrån matskålarna!

men Emma anser att hon är för långt ifrån maten!

När vi satt oss ned för att äta såg vi en hel del flygplan som passerade mot Arlanda.

Efter lunchen ville Emma göra ett utbyte, skålen mot mer matrester.

Då vi låg och vilade i solen passerade fler flygplan.

På tillbaka vägen beskådade vi en stor kråkkoloni som förflyttade sig mellan skogsdungarna. Snart stod det klart att de var ute efter korpen (större fågeln på bild 2) som var inne på deras revir.
