Some books defy categorisation Life of Pi, the second novel from Canadian writer Yann Martel, is a case in point just about the only thing you can say for certain about it is that it is fiercely and admirably unique. The plot, if thats the right word, concerns the oceanic wanderings of a lost boy, the young and eager Piscine Patel of the title Pi. After a colourful and loving upbringing in gorgeously hued India, the Muslim Christian animistic Pi sets off for a fresh start in Canada. His blissful voyage is rudely interrupted when his boat is scuppered halfway across the Pacific, and he is forced to rough it in a lifeboat with a hyena, a monkey, a whingeing zebra and a tiger called Richard. Pi, also titled, is a 1998 American surrealist psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky in his directorial debut. The film earned.

That would be bad enough, but from here on things get weirder the animals start slaughtering each other in a veritable frenzy of allegorical bloodlust, until Richard the tiger and Pi are left alone to wander the wastes of ocean, with plenty of time to ponder their fate, the cruelty of the gods, the best way to handle storms and the various different recipes for oothappam, scrapple and coconut yam kootu. The denouement is pleasantly neat. According to the blurb, thirtysomething Yann Martel spent long years in Alaska, India, Mexico, France, Costa Rica, Turkey and Iran, before settling in Canada. All those cultures and more have been poured into this spicy, vivacious, kinetic and very entertaining fiction. Sean Thomas. This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Inspired by a worldwide best seller that many readers must have assumed was unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to life. The story involves the 2. Pacific in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. They find themselves in the same boat after an amusing and colorful prologue, which in itself could have been enlarged into an exciting family film. Then it expands into a parable of survival, acceptance and adaptation. I imagine even Yann Martel, the novels French Canadian author, must be delighted to see how the usual kind of Hollywood manhandling has been sidestepped by Lees poetic idealism. Advertisement. The story begins in a small family zoo in Pondichery, India, where the boy christened Piscine is raised. Piscine translates from French to English as swimming pool, but in an India where many more speak English than French, his playmates of course nickname him pee. Determined to put an end to this, he adopts the name Pi, demonstrating an uncanny ability to write down that mathematical constant that begins with 3. If Pi is a limitless number, that is the perfect name for a boy who seems to accept no limitations. The zoo goes broke, and Pis father puts his family and a few valuable animals on a ship bound for Canada. In a bruising series of falls, a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and the lion tumble into the boat with the boy, and are swept away by high seas. His family is never seen again, and the last we see of the ship is its lights disappearing into the deep a haunting shot that reminds me of the sinking train in Bill Forsyths Housekeeping 1. This is a hazardous situation for the boy Suraj Sharma, because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize the tiger fancifully named Richard Parker. A crucial early scene at the zoo shows that wild animals are indeed wild and indeed animals, and it serves as a caution for children in the audience, who must not make the mistake of thinking this is a Disney tiger. The heart of the film focuses on the sea journey, during which the human demonstrates that he can think with great ingenuity and the tiger shows that it can learn. I wont spoil for you how those things happen. Watch Morning Star Online Metacritic. The possibilities are surprising. What astonishes me is how much I love the use of 3 D in Life of Pi. Ive never seen the medium better employed, not even in Avatar, and although I continue to have doubts about it in general, Lee never uses it for surprises or sensations, but only to deepen the films sense of places and events. Advertisement. Let me try to describe one point of view. The camera is placed in the sea, looking up at the lifeboat and beyond it. The surface of the sea is like the enchanted membrane upon which it floats. There is nothing in particular to define it it is just there. This is not a shot of a boat floating in the ocean. It is a shot of ocean, boat and sky as one glorious place. Still trying not to spoil Pi and the tiger Richard Parker share the same possible places in and near the boat. Although this point is not specifically made, Pis ability to expand the use of space in the boat and nearby helps reinforce the tigers respect for him. The tiger is accustomed to believing it can rule all space near him, and the human requires the animal to rethink that assumption. Most of the footage of the tiger is of course CGI, although I learn that four real tigers are seen in some shots. The young actor Suraj Sharma contributes a remarkable performance, shot largely in sequence as his skin color deepens, his weight falls and deepness and wisdom grow in his eyes.

This is the case here, but during the course of 2. The tiger, in particular, becomes aware that he sees the boy not merely as victim or prey, or even as master, but as another being. The movie quietly combines various religious traditions to enfold its story in the wonder of life. How remarkable that these two mammals, and the fish beneath them and birds above them, are all here. And when they come to a floating island populated by countless meerkats, what an incredible sequence Lee creates there. The island raises another question Is it realIs this whole story real I refuse to ask that question. Life of Pi is all real, second by second and minute by minute, and what it finally amounts to is left for every viewer to decide. I have decided it is one of the best films of the year.
