Life of Pi – 6.5

Call me stupid, but I didn’t understand the book and I didn’t understand the movie. What was the absurdly unbelievable tale of coexisting on the Pacific for 225 days with a Bengal tiger about? I gather it is meant as a parable, or allegory, but of what? On top of that, my anti-Indian prejudice based on encounters in the ’70s with waiters at Indian restaurants in New York made all the enunciations of “Richard Parker” less than charming. On the other hand, Ang Lee’s film earned points for its majestic beauty and all the wonderful animals, especially in the zoo. And the sheer magic of how you could make such a film.
