Review

Firstly I simply thought this is another commercial 3D movie to catch people's eyes and grab some money form their pocket again. It maybe a little different this time somehow after I saw Ang Lee's name. Ok, it attracts me again to go inside cinema for the little boy and tiger in the name of Ang Lee of course. My friends then asked me out for the movie, so damn agam timing. So, it seems like all have been decided that I was meant to watch this movie la. 

It was a damn amazing and impressive visual effect movie ever. It worth too if you watch in 3D because the CG tiger was damn real just like a real one we saw in National Geography. The movie was talking about life, faith, religion and something deeper which I don't know how to describe...... Hahaha, you can just watch yourself and you get something maybe. Everyone experiences different mindset floating or reflection after the movie. You have your own one too just like I did ... So 

Adult Pi Patel: So which story do you prefer? 
Writer: The one with the tiger. That's the better story. 
Adult Pi Patel: Thank you. And so it goes with God. 
Writer: [smiles] It's an amazing story. 

Let's share out some memorable quotes from the movie:

Adult Pi Patel: All of life is an act of letting go but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. 

Santosh Patel: You think tiger is your friend, he is an animal, not a playmate 

Pi Patel: Animals have souls... I have seen it in their eyes. 

Adult Pi Patel: Faith is a house with many rooms. 
Writer: But no room for doubt? 
Adult Pi Patel: Oh plenty, on every floor. Doubt is useful, it keeps faith a living thing. Afterall, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it is tested.

I am not surprised if Life of Pi would be one of  the most impressive and best movie in year 2012.  
Thank you for the movie before the world ends in 2012.
