Life of Pi Review
There are films which are made and then there are films
which make you. I would call “LIFE OF PI” as one of the films which can make
you. Ang lee has expressed every human emotion through his craft taking the
audience through a roller coaster ride on a psychological journey. The film does not only deal with humans but
with every living being in the entire universe and it gets convincing as we
progress in the film that we coexist. There are actors like Irfan khan, Tabu
and many others who are there to convince the audience through a human
perspective.
The film speaks about god the creator of the universe and the
destroyer too. It portrays the war between the living and nature which strives
to be a strongest battalion on this planet.
The transitions in the film itself has an effect on the audience as when
it comes to reality it is open spaces while when the protagonist goes to its
disturbing past it becomes claustrophobic. The entire struggle of the Pi which
started from the humiliation in school due to his uncanny name to the extreme
survival journey in a life saving boat with a Bengal tiger in a middle of the Mariana
trench is what Ang Lee’s ‘Life of Pi’ has in store for you.
As a person sitting in the audience you can relate yourself
to every single moment in the film. Exploring your own self and understanding
your existence in this universe for survival is what the film makes you wonder
throughout. The reference of God in
context with every religion is played subtly in various parts of the film. The
relationship between man and nature is strongly emphasized abiding to the story.
Every frame has something to give to the audience in some way from the
magnificent transition from night to day. The film can be interpreted in
various ways as it depends on how every individual has received it. The film
cant be explained in words as the hardships and the emotional turbulence can
vary from one person to another but the experience after watching the film is
spellbound. I remember everything in the film but I don’t remember saying
“goodbye”.
