The main point of the book and the film is not written here. :) <br /><br />For my guidance, what do you consider the spoilers here?

But even before I intended to read the book, I've heard that to film it would take a feat to do it. But I guess, we have reached the time and age that even fantastic films like The Life of Pi is possible and we should appreciate that about this film. iaadamlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614209184906965260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607216452500010621.post-64758807019689299122013-01-16T14:03:27.545+08:002013-01-16T14:03:27.545+08:00Hi Dems.

There was a scene after the storm where Richard Parker was ill and tired laying almost lifelessly in the boat. Pi rested the tiger’s head in his lap and comforted him. It's a clear representation of Pi forgiving himself and reconciling with himself and God Almighty.backpacking in the philippineshttp://www.juanderfulpinoy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607216452500010621.post-13629267895307546342013-01-15T12:44:13.884+08:002013-01-15T12:44:13.884+08:00Hmmm... this seems to be too much for my brain to ...Hmmm... this seems to be too much for my brain to digest.

Somehow, reading your review, I guess it should be ok that the book and movie was different in approaches as you have a good story taken from different vantage points. Now to find time to watch the movie.Franc Ramonhttp://francramon.comnoreply@blogger.com
