Overall a fantastic experience but again slightly marred by an pesky audience. Parents should do some due diligence before bringing kids.
The mature themes fly over most of them, and they end up bored and start to become an annoyance.

I think the sights of animals made the parents thought it is a children movie. My hall was full with them too.

Because I didn't read the book, after the film was over, in the back of my mind I never considered the second story even for a second!  smile.gif  I thought he was just making it up, but at that point I was a little perplexed when the writer revealed that the characters in his second story mirrored the animals in his 'real' story. I even brushed off comments when I was first coming across that said the second story could be real.

So now you know what story I believe in... but thanks to the 'hard cold facts' of the second story that were being put forth, I was somewhat being forced to rethink about what exactly happened to Pi. Do I believe in the second story?

IF one truly believed in the first story, no amount of hard facts can ever change you. How likely you are to just switch 'beliefs' shows how strong of a believer you are in either one of your beliefs. The same goes with the believe / faith in God...

You can bring in as many possibilities or proof that the second story is real, but as I have said before, if you are a strong believer in the first story, no amount of 'evidence' will change you.

If you believe...
Animal story = A life of myth, beliefs and religion. Godly.
Human story = Harsh cold facts of life and more grounded in 'science facts' in the realm of possibilities. Less Godly.
Both = As Pi's father himself said, believing in everything is akin to not believing in anything at all

Doubt anyone would not believe in either story, if not there's no point of even being given a choice. Everyone makes choices in life.

I'm sold. I've watched it 3 times and I wouldn't even mind a fourth. I knew there was always something to his second story which was a lot more than just "made up" stuff for the Japanese men.

Seems like many of our forumers were annoyed by other people while watching this movie. I myself got a share of it. The guy behind me had his feet literally on my arm rest. And his wife was narrating loudly throughout the entire show. My cousin said she sounded like someone turned on "director's comments". After they left, I turned behind and saw the mess they made. Kesian the cleaners.

U know, narative dad to kids is ok. In my opinion. You can just bring kids to a movie and expect them to keep quiet when they have lots of questions. Parents are supposed to teach them.

but of couse, how that works without annoying the audience will be a good way of saying that you are at best booking the hall on your own.

Just in... Best Movie of the Year Award by AFI! biggrin.gif A lot of other big names in their list, but "Life of Pi" won it.

Here are the current status of the awards for this film thus far:

Can't quite remember a film where I wouldn't mind a third viewing right after a second viewing... but I'll probably wait for the BD. If one truly understands the 'essence' of this film, the underlying message and all, this would easily land among the greatest films they've ever seen. No kidding.

This movie seem like a 'magnet' for annoyances. Interestingly I also had my share of annoyances. On my first viewing though, it was the grown ups. When the second story was being told, a few of them started laughing (thinking Pi was lying convincingly). They kept laughing... and laughing... and laughing until the end of it. Seriously? sleep.gif In fact, several of the folks in front of me actually turned to look at them with a sort of WTH mannerism. laugh.gif

On my second viewing, it was the kids. I think parents believed this film would be very appropriate for their young kids (it's a PG film so yes), they were screaming and applauding whenever there was any 'animal action' especially with Richard Parker. Not one or two, but a few of them. Luckily though, they weren't too close from where I was seated but it pretty much was for the entire duration of the film.

*There was also a family behind me who seem to not like the whole 'religion' thing, they were clicking their tongues and (I heard) "How can they do this...? Can feel their WTH-ness.

...

Lastly, this film turned out to have grossed way better than "Hugo". A lot of predictions had this film not doing too well at the box office what with a complete unknown lead and more popular films before/after its release.

That is why my strategy is always to watch the midnite show. Less people and definitely no kids. after movie also, the world is so quiet for the movie's message to linger in my thoughts (aside from the creepy imagination that i will be robbed in the empty carpark)

I really wouldn't have minded the narrative dad, but he was ... LOUDLY so. And I'm pretty sure he wasn't even saying anything constructive. It was just a lot of kids pointing out scary bits and the dad going on and on. How much can you really describe to a toddler anyway? I digress. I'd be a little insane if I said bring on the fouth. I've already gone ahead and streamed the soundtrack while I slave away at work every day tongue.gif

Had my second viewing yesterday, I picked up quite a few parallels that might question the animal story. Plenty of spoilers ahead.

This is what happens when an 'outside' factor affects your beliefs, you start to question them. There are a few more, can't place it at this time. What I mean is that, if you so choose to believe in the human story, these "parallels" serve as a possibility that the animal story could be a metaphorically told story of the human story. Possibly the human story was too painful to be told in its actual form that Pi used animals instead.

The nature of the animal story seems like fragments of Pi's life told in a more 'pleasant' form. We won't really know exactly which story is the truth as we were not in Pi's shoes. I'm still sticking with the animal story as no matter how exceptional / unlikely the story may be, it could be real... just like say, the Bible stories or religious myths.

Oh BTW, I hope "Pi's Lullaby" gets nominated...



So peaceful... so beautiful... the opening few minutes were with this was just enchanting.  thumbup.gif

I dont' usually say this to forumers here, but you just, even only slightly, blew my mind.

Lol. notworthy.gif

But as I've posted on my FB to tell the whole world of my accomplishment in watching this movie - the highlight of this film is in its metaphorical masterpiece.
