My 12 year-old granddaughter and I went to see Life of Pi together and it was one of the most photographically exquisite filmsI have ever seen.The story was also fascinating and beautifully told. I had no idea there had once been a part of India that was colonized by the French and the scenery was so lovely.
Though it is rated PG I wouldn't take any child younger than 13 to see it only because it is the story of a shipwreck and surviving at sea with animals in the mix so there are scenes that can be frightening to young children (as a scene where the Bengal tiger eats a goat.)
But Ang Lee, the director who won an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain" surprises in this adult fairy tale of the relationship between a very spiritual Indian young man and the tiger he finally subdues and grows to love as they battle the sea together.
Both my granddaughter and I liked it a lot, and it gave us good opportunity to discuss loyalty, courage, sympathy and persistence, just to name a few examples of the film's themes and life lessons.
Pros great story, breathtaking cinematography
Yes, I recommend this movie.
