The movie first catches my attention by showing all different types of animals. The kind of animals we can only see in zoos. Furthermore, the gardens full of magnificent flowers catch my attention. And the peaceful music that the film plays makes me think that the film will remain that way. Life of Pi tells an extraordinary story of life, loss and survival. Pi Patel lives in Canada, but is from India. Pi has a reporter at his house who asks him about Pi's incredible story of being alive for 227 days. Pi grows up with his mother's religion, which is Hinduism. Later, when Pi is around 12 years old, he is introduced to Christianity and then Islam. Pi follows all three religions, but Pi's father doesn't like religion and says that Pi can't have three religions at the same time. Furthermore, Pi's brother listens to his father in religious matters. When Pi is seventeen, Pi's father decides to sell the zoo he owns and move to Canada. Then, Pi's father buys passage for Pi and his family. Additionally, Pi's father bought passage for all the zoo animals so he could sell them in Canada. But during the voyage to Canada a large unexpected storm arrives and sinks the ship. Since Pi wanted to watch the storm, he ends up being able to jump into a lifeboat. However, none of Pi's family made it into the lifeboat. Pi is now trapped on a lifeboat with a zebra. During the storm, Pi throws a person into the ocean thinking he is saving a person. However, what Pi pulled in was an adult Bengal tiger. Also, Pi has a monkey and a hyena with him on the lifeboat. Yet all animals, except the Bengal tiger, die. Pi has very little food and water on the lifeboat. But Pi must learn to survive with nothing more than a hungry and frightened Bengal tiger. Somehow Pi survives the tragic loss of his family and well... middle of paper... the cook and crewman jumped aboard and broke their leg on the landing. Pi couldn't live with what had happened, so he made up the story of the tiger. Furthermore, the animals in the ship's hold could not have gotten out of there. And no one would take the time to shave the animals. Everyone on the ship would be focused on saving themselves; the animals would be the last thing on the crew members' minds.
