For me, this was an easy decision. Looking at a list of all the movies I saw, I already knew this would be #1.
When you go see a movie, there are always expectations. A comedy movie is supposed to make you laugh, an action movie is supposed to keep you entertained and a horror movie is supposed to scare you. When a movie like Life of Pi comes along, you're not too sure what you're going to get and maybe that's the beauty of it.
Life of Pi is a brilliantly told story about an Indian man' journey to America and how it all went wrong, how he became shipwrecked with a tiger and did everything he could to survive.
We've certainly seen movies where people have been shipwrecked and abandoned before, but this one is unique in the sense of its storytelling. It's hard to say what I love about this movie without giving away too much, but I will say the analogies made in the story are perfect.
The story created and fully imagined on screen are wonderful to watch, even though most of the film is pretty doom and gloom. The ending may leave some confused at first, but with time it all makes sense and is a pretty good twist on everything you had seen.
