Wie man 227 Tage auf hoher See mit einem Bengalischen Tiger unbeschadet überstehen kann, das zeigt Schiffbruch mit Tiger. Piscine Molitor Patel, kurz Pi, ist ein junger Inder, der mit seiner Familie in Pondicherry lebt, wo sein Vater einen Zoo besitzt. Als sie aus politischen Gründen nach Kanada auswandern müssen, wird der Zoo verkauft und mit ihm ein Großteil der Tiere. Den Rest nimmt die Familie mit an Bord eines Frachters, der sie in die neue Heimat bringen soll. Doch auf der Überfahrt kommt es zu einer Havarie und nur Pi kann sich als einziger Überlebender in ein Beiboot retten. Mit vier nicht-menschlichen Ausnahmen: Weitere „Passagiere“ im Rettungsboot sind eine Hyäne, ein am Bein verletztes Zebra, ein Orang-Utan und ein ausgewachsener Tiger namens Richard Parker. Wie und unter welchen Opfern Pi diese entbehrungsreiche Odyssee überlebt, davon berichtet der mittlerweile erwachsene Pi.

some shots in this movie are so beautiful i wanted to straight up die
Wow.Every year cinephiles struggle to find a film that reminds them exactly why they love cinema. The exact type of film differs from person to person, and what you look for can constantly change from year to year. But you know those films when you find them, because there's that feeling you get. You sit there with your heart and mind open. Nothing else matters. You begin to reflect on yourself and your life, and how the film relates to you. As the credits roll, you let go of your breath, as if you had been holding it in the entire time.This year, I have found that film in Ang Lee's Life of Pi. It is the film that gives me that almost religious and spiritual experience that I die for every time I go see a film, and one Life of Pi delivered which such reassurance, I left the theater feeling warm and optimistic. I won't go into details of the film's story, because that would give away everything that makes this film special. All I can say is that it is about a boy stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger. That's all. To say anymore would ruin the experience. All I can say is that Ang Lee handles the film well, and he makes what was said to be an unfilmable novel look so easy. The film's newcoming actor Suraj Sharma is great, and he works well considering he's all alone since the Tiger is CGI. And speaking of tiger, I've never seen seamless CGI like this. I went in knowing it was CGI, but the whole film I couldn't tell the difference. I'm not going to exalt Life of Pi as being a flawless masterpiece. I'm sure there were flaws, but I couldn't be bothered to care or even notice them. Life of Pi is currently my film of the year, merely because it gave me that spiritual experience I'm always looking for, and if you're open to it, hopefully it will find you too.
