Have you ever seen a movie that changed your life? A movie that made you see everything from a whole new perspective. Viewers are raving about The Life of Pi. It's an inspiring tale of a boy who against all odds kept his faith alive in order to survive. Pi, the main character, grew up in India with his mother, father, and brother in a peaceful and happy life. His father owned a zoo, where Pi learned his love for animals. Ever since he was young, Pi took a liking to every religion he came across. His loved ones would find his love for every God comical, but to Pi, there was one God. There was one God and many different religions. He's always been a spiritual and soulful boy who saw love in everyone and everything he encountered.
After losing his mother, father, and brother to a sinking ship, Pi set out on a lifeboat to find land. While on the boat, Pi discovers that he is stranded with a tiger named Richard Parker. When Pi was younger, he had an encounter with the tiger that didn't go so well. He wanted to prove to his brother that all living creatures have souls, but unfortunately he was proven wrong when his father made him watch while the tiger killed a goat and ate it. This was a huge deal in Pi's life so naturally, when he realized he was stranded with the tiger on a small life boat in the middle of the ocean, he panicked.
The story of Pi and Richard Parker is a beautiful and inspiring story of how they learned to respect and love one another on their journey to safety. It's a story of faith and hope that will change your life. It's a story about how against all odds, faith in God will see you through. I highly recommend watching The Life of Pi to everyone and anyone who's interested. It definitely does change your life and your perspective on faith.
I have seen the trailer to this and thought it was interesting. I love movies that challenge by emotions. I trust your judgment and would like to see Life of Pi in the future.
