I didnt actullay plan for today to be as this day.. but the funny things about answered prayers, is that they come in unexpectedly. A usal morning of prayer,exercise,food was good, but I put my alarm on because I had a date with my awesome pals.I love em:))<3
By 13:20 we met, oh so ever happy, meeting each other for the first time this year:D. Anywayz.. Cinema---- Life of Pi. Before I go any farther. ATTENTION,. The music is great too.. this is a must watch movie for all ages, it has so much soul, you don't see these kinds of movies anymore, nopee!! It was real!Bravo to the director, actors muahhh** AWESOME MOVIE!!
Mr. Patel's is an astounding story, courage and endurance unparalleled in the history of ship-wrecks. Very few castaways can claim to have survived so long, and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger-Quote from the movie.
Most of you must have already seen it, while most of you were caught by the mighty roar of Richard Parker, yupp the tiger on TV. You know, I'm not going to talk about the plot of this awesome movie. I just want to express how I feel.. So what a movie?, yh yh drowning, India, islands , cool, so what?--- SO WHAT?! What do you mean? This movie not only talks about friendship but also about faith, faith in GOD, faith in your friends, faith in yourself. You see in the end Pi, the protagonist tells two versions of the same story about how he survived the ship wreck, how he survived the 227 days in the ocean.
The Animal Story
In this version of Pi’s tale, the cargo ship sinks and, during the ensuing chaos, he is joined on the lifeboat by a ragtag group of zoo animals that also managed to escape: an orangutan, a spotted hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, and a Bengal Tiger (named Richard Parker). After some time, Pi watches helplessly as the hyena kills the zebra and then the orangutan before it is, subsequently, dispatched by Richard Parker. Pi then sets about conditioning the tiger through rewarding behavior (food and fresh water), so that the two can co-exist in the boat.
but then there is the other version:
The Human Story
In this version of Pi’s tale the cargo ship still sinks, but instead of the ragtag group of animals in the lifeboat, Pi claims that he was joined by his mother (Gita), the ship’s despicable cook, and an injured Japanese sailor. After some time, fearing for the limited supplies in the boat, the cook kills the weakened Japanese sailor, and later, Gita. Scarred from watching his mother die in front of his eyes, Pi kills the cook in a moment of self-preservation (and revenge).
You see the main question you have to answer for yourself, haven watched this movie is this..which story do you prefer? Are you a person that prefers to believe in things that always make sense/things that you can see? Or are you a person that prefers to believe in miracles/take things on faith? It's up to you:)
Personally , I choose the story with the tiger, definatly. It is was cooler. You dont always have to believe what you can feel with your senses...you can survived without them, but not without faith..
By the way, here is a chart that shows how Pi spent 227 days of his life:)
If you have seen the movie or about to see, or even if you just read this and dont know what I'm talking about, write a comment and tell us what you think of the super film:) Thank you.
