About (Life of Pi) movie! - 2

   The Taiwanese-born American director Ang Lee, succeeded to make this epic film, despite opinions that challenged him that the Booker Prize winning novel in 2002, on which the film was based written by the Canadian Yann Martel, cannot be interpreted into a moving picture. It is not a simple adventure film about a lonely survivor being stranded in the large ocean for long after his ship sank, but it is a complex movie, that discusses the philosophy of life, religions and the concepts of good and evil. No wonder at all, that the film was nominated to eleven Academy Awards, as it was beautifully made caring for small details not only big ones.. The cinematography of this film, with the special effects, added to the original music score were all outstanding. Thanks to a genius director, it was possible to make such a film possible. Films that incorporate ferocious animals that are required to evolve through multiple phases of the story, are difficult to make, so what we can say about this movie where a Bengal tiger is the second hero of the film. The good thing is, that the director didn't resort to graphics lavishly but in the appropriate amount. The story around which the film was made, was good, despite that it has some relation on one side to Robinson Crusoe and Noah's Ark on the other.
