| Tiger meets the Modern Mariner |
This is another Ang Lee wonder that manages to put him back into the limelight after the legendary
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the controversial
Brokeback Mountain. That he could even take the classic novel of
Sense and Sensibility and bring magic into it is sheer indicator that he would go far.

| Extraordinary Visual Storyteller |
In
Life of Pi, we are again embedded into s foreign culture and this time it is the Indian sub-continent. From the French quarters of Pondicherry, we have to take in a privately-run zoo, a voyage at sea and a survival between man and beast.
Pi's adventure with the tiger, Richard Parker and a whole new world out there on the open sea is at once spectacular and captures our hearts as we savour the delight with our eyes. The computer graphics must have been good as it was in 3D at the cinema.

| The Survival Game |
The short side-line story of the two Japanese investigators of the sunk vessel and their evaluation of the stories spun by Pi of cannibalism and the adventures of the zebra, monkey, tiger and himself is amusing nonetheless.

| Co-existence out of Necessity |
Though I have my reservations that the movie could have been better, I felt that I enjoyed it so much more than Spielberg's
Lincoln.
