Watched: The Life of Pi

Because my memory is appalling.
Just to capture my thoughts on some of the things I spend time doing.

The Life of Pi
• Colourful movie by Ang Lee, or maybe it was cos it was about India. Indian movies/books tend to be super colorful.
• About a boy in between. In between traditional and modernity, between a mom brought up in religion and a dad who believed in science. Raised in India, but named after a French swimming pool and nicknamed after a mathematical Greek?Roman? Symbol Pi. In between Hindu, Muslim and Catholicism. In between practicality (he saw how the tiger ate a goat) and idealism (right till the end he still fantasized he had a relationship, he sees the soul in his eyes, with the tiger)
• Lovely images of the animals, the sea, the island with the meerkat
• Incredible story about his survival with a large carnivorous and hungry animal
• Wildly fascinating but I'm not sure about the meaning. Is it about the presence of God?
