Life of Pi

[jazdoc]

Just read the book and can't wait for the Ang Lee film to be released for Thanksgiving....

Can't wait for the XXX version, "Life of Fur Pi".

Looks pretty cool, albeit a little irrational...

(Someone was going to say it!)

My wife and I saw the 3-D version this weekend. Visually a gorgeous movie with the best use of 3-D I've seen. Really enhances the story telling rather than overwhelming it. Ang Lee did a magnificent job bringing the book to the screen. Highly recommended, even if you haven't read the book and would be a good movie for young adults.

Life of Pi - 3D - by Ang Lee

-- I have yet to see this movie, in 3D.

* I'm a big Ang Lee's fan. ...His cinematography.

Can't wait for the XXX version, "Life of Fur Pi".

..and in 3D? No thanks..

I saw the movie yesterday and I must admit that not having read the book I was pleasantly surprised by this wonderful story with an ending that brings it all home

At just over 2 hours the film is just long enough. Saw it in 2D and the color and cinematography was simply wonderful. The young man playing Pi is a pleasant relief as he is "the story"

This film almost certainly will garner many nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director

I'll bet that you would enjoy the book...

So behind on the latest movies ... still need to see Bond, Bilbo and certainly Quentin's latest, plus some animated obscure french film about suicide. However, I might just see Life first.

All that you've mentioned should be seen

BTW Skyfall has grossed over $1B worldwide

 

[NorthStar]

-- ...And still playing in Theaters.

Wife and I just got home from the movies. We both really enjoyed Life of Pi. The best quote from the movie: "Don't let the spectacle fool you. Religion is darkness".

 

[Steve Williams]

I would love to know how Ang Lee did all of those scenes with those animals on the boat

Check the end credits if there were any animals to start with.

 

[Steve Williams]

I'm sure they weren't on the boat with Pi.

 

[jazdoc]

Animals were all computer generated....

 

[Steve Williams]

They looked it on many occasions in the sizing of the Bengal tiger but all in all very well done

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this film

 

[NorthStar]

Animals were all computer generated....

---- I was just going to say that; CGI.
