Just read somewhere again reinforcing the idea that the second more violent story is the 'true' one.

Which actually explains why Richard Parker, the tiger, looked pretty reluctant to eat the Zebra (the sailor) - or that it didnt even want to eat the Zebra.

And also how Pi couldnt explain how an orangutan could 'float' on the bananas (when bananas dont float).

Again, the metaphors in this movie is mind-blowingly good.

Really going to downloadbuy this movie.

based on novel, actually pi did prove that bananas float.

In fact the second story described in the book was even more disturbing and grotesque than the movie. Ang Lee should have emphasize on that.

I havent read the book and probably wont.. lol... not because i dont like it, but im not a book person, sadly.

i vote for story number 2..

I wish he HAD actually done some sorta flashback scene when Pi was talking about the 2nd experience but I can understand why he didn't.
I love it's all left up to the viewers opinions on religion and deduction to believe whatever they choose to believe. Does say a lot about the person too

if he did and is faithful to the details of the book, i think it will be ban or fully censored the 2nd story

To put it correctly, it is a not question of which story you believe in, but why you believe in it.

Your choice will either show you're a person of faith, or a person of science. Don't take it too seriously though as this is still a work of 'fiction'.

that's why Pi "mamaji" ask the writer to see Pi if he want a story about god
and maybe one need to read the novel also as I only see the storyline and imigination by the director
IMHO reading is much more fun than just watch it...
you can rely on your own imiganation...not the director
and i would like to take some sentence from user review in IMDb about Pi religion believe..

haha just watch them in 3D...i must say it blew my freaking mind away definitely is oscars best picture material 4 the 2013 running

Bananas do float. Therefore I choose to believe the beautiful story is true. Not the ugly one.

I had my fair share of annoying movie goers who laughed/giggled at the wrong scene and some kids behind me making noises.. Got distracted and went through the whole movie not knowing what to interpret or to think of the movie.. until I read the LoP threads in k/.

Realizing what I missed after reading these stuffs made me feel so overwhelmed. Gotta read the book.

Just watched the IMAX 3d in 1u. Absolutely beautiful. Much better than my first screening of normal screen.

whats the difference between 3D n imax 3D???i heard malaysia just open 2 imax cinemas already...sunway pyramid n 1U

The screen is much bigger of course and the color n depth are more apparent in IMAX. And also much better sound system. The flying fish scene was particularly 3d and the ship wrecked scene u can almost feel it like ur there

Moral of the story: be contented with the life that you have.

Really? I know its a personal interpretation but I don't understand how Pi is not contented with his life.

It was never his fault that his parents wanted to relocate to Canada. In fact, Pi was really contented with the life he had with Anandi, his family and the Zoo.

If you mean to say 'we' should be contented with our lives... also doesn't really make sense as a moral story from the film. Of course it's a good thing but from the story itself, I don't quite see it.

Because there was the 2nd time that Pi was enduring the Thunderstorm, and he was asking to God what more does God want from him.

Perhaps that was the good way of saying about contentment.

Watch normal 2d yesterday. Love it. Hows the 3d for this movie? Worth watching for my 2nd viewing?

Got blown away from the 3D effects of the beginning of the film - Zoo scene.

After that maybe my eyes were tired or or just felt like so-so only.

Wonderful movie though.
