Life Told in Beautiful Setting

If you have the chance I encourage you to see the beautiful film Life of Pi (2012) at the cinema.This fantastic film, directed by Ang Lee and based on the novel by Yann Martel, is truly the story of life. For as specific and amazing as this particular story - Pi's story - is in this film it is very much told with every element of real life.

It has the bits and pieces that make up the ever floating stream of events that carry us all from cradle to grave. There is humour and there is grief. Endurance, courage, disrepair  faith, compassion and the lack thereof. Every colourful strand of yarn that is part of the weave of life is there - displayed in a magnificent multitude of magical scenes.

Though the scenery is almost dreamlike - almost too beautiful at times to be true - it does somehow not take away from the feeling that Life of Pi truly is representing life. Also adding to the feeling of it being real is the very well made 3D effects. It gives depth and does not make the film blurry or difficult to watch. So if you're hesitant to seeing it in 3D I would say it's more than just alright; it is actually very beautiful like that and I would honestly recommend 3D rather than traditional on this one.

All in all it's a fantastic film and I wholeheartedly recommend it and I am definitely not the only one! I saw an uncountable amount of tweets on twitter praising this film and couldn't help snag these out of the lot just to emphasize how wonderful this film truly is:

LIFE OF PI is absolutely beautiful. By turns wild, colourful, fun, poetic, inspiring, expansive, mysterious and deep. Like the sea.
