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.

Contentment = satisfied, right? When he asked God what more God wanted from him it was because he was completely exhausted by His 'trials' and unrelentless suffering put on him. I think he said "I've lost everything, what more do you want from me?"

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

Yes. The 3D is amazing, it really draws you into the beauty of the scenes. There is one scene, flying fish scene, they added black bars at the top and bottom to 'trick' you into thinking that the film space is between the bars... instead, the flying fish actually can be seen on/overlapping the black bars - this makes it feel as if the fish is flying out of the screen. biggrin.gif

Yeah i would think that too. But I wouldn't call it suffering either. Because of his exact words to God.

I think i'd rather not get to that part, religious matters. hehe. tongue.gif

GG and now BAFTA, a win for Best Picture might not happen, but who knows. Zero Dark Thirty seems unrelentless in scooping nominations.

‘Lincoln,’ ‘Les Miserables,’ and ‘Life of Pi’ lead BAFTA nominations

http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movie...fta-nominations

QUOTE
The best picture nominees are Lincoln, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Argo and Osama bin Laden thriller Zero Dark Thirty.

Les Miserables is also a contender in the separate category of best British film, alongside Anna Karenina, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Seven Psychopaths and Skyfall.

Les Mis producer Tim Bevan said he was pleased with the movie’s nine nominations, but surprised director Tom Hooper didn’t make the shortlist.

“Steven Spielberg wasn’t nominated for best director for Lincoln, which tops the list, so it just goes to show how wide open it is this year,” he said.

Ben Affleck is nominated both as director of Argo and as its leading actor. The other male acting contenders are Day-Lewis, Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook, Hugh Jackman for Les Miserables and Joaquin Phoenix for The Master.


Oh and congrats to Suraj Sharma for being nominated for BAFTA Rising Star Award. Among the others in this category - Andrea Riseborough and Juno Temple, Swedish actress Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen.

Pi is like so much depth but at the same time after thinking so much about it. I felt like I have been trolled.

Both story also tragic and horrible.

We would die without ever knowing the truth, that is how hard everyone has been trolled. We may choose to believe in something, but it does not mean it is the absolute.

Mindblown.

This I can agree though.


After a mind blowing experience, life and death, an experience that challenges you beyond your faith, one that challenges you to eat other people, even if you are vegetarian, eating fish eating meat, that makes you doubt God, doubt everything. The cold hard truth is once you are out of it, you Have to move on, if you dwell in your comfort zone or in despair, you will never survive.

'Life of Pi' voted most mistake-free Oscar-worthy movie ; movie with least errors

http://www.deccanherald.com/content/314004...st-mistake.html

Filmmaker Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" would be a clear winner for best picture at Academy Awards this year if the prize giving was based on the least amount of movie errors, says a survey conducted by MovieMistakes.com.

Film fans at the website have given the movie adaptation of Yann Martel's novel thumbs up as the most blunder-free picture.
In "Life of Pi", the experts only spotted one editing error in the film, compared to 26 in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" and 22 in "Argo".

"Oscar nominees aren't normally too mistake-ridden, although this year's crop is a little bit more so than average. The visual effects nominees tend to have the most mistakes, possibly due to their blockbuster nature but given their budgets you'd hope they could avoid errors," MovieMistakes.com editor Jon Sandys said, reports contactmusic.com.

"Life Of Pi" narrates the tale of a boy who is adrift at sea in a lifeboat with a Royal Bengal tiger after his family is drowned in a shipwreck. It features Indian talent, including debutant Suraj Sharma, and critically acclaimed actors Tabu and Irrfan.
The other mistake-laden movies are "Les Miserables" with 15 errors; "Zero Dark Thirty" with 12; "Silver Linings Playbook" with nine, and "Lincoln" with eight.

To believe in God you need to believe the fantastical and magical for example "parting of Red Sea" etc etc. that's why if the writer prefers the story with the tiger and orang utan, he should find it easier to believe in god since he is willing to have a suspension of disbelief.

U Urself said " deep down the writer believes the 2nd harsher story is real." But he "PREFERS" the less grizzly story.

It tells us something about us and religion. People want to believe in religion because it is easier, more rewarding since all religions states after death there is eternal life and the good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. People refuse to believe that after death there is nothing, the want something more secure.

Also I hope you are not the kind of die hard religious person because if you are, all I've said will be in vain. If you are not, then I hope you enjoyed my view regarding one of the best book/movie of all time.
