The most important thing of this film is it character. It is narrated by both, young Pi and the Adult Pi, it uses music all the time so there is not space for uncomfortable silents and the rhythm of the scenes is fast. Director Ang Lee use all the tools he have to make this movie about a solitary young man not a boring one. It is more that a survival story and it is not about friendship. The movie narrates an incredible story using the most beautiful special effects and great actors. Without giving anything away, it's a wonderful story about storytelling and how telling our stories can get us through the most horrible life experiences and to help deal with the aftermath of them. No preaching going on here and there could be. The spiritual themes are simple and deep and raise more questions about faith and belief than answer anything. I read the book and liked it and the film may even improve upon it which is kind of a miracle considering it's kids, animals and water just about all the time. I haven't felt that sort of magic in a movie theater in a long, long time. I felt transported and like I was seeing a movie for the very first time. Some of the images were so beautiful that the audience gasped at many of them. It's an incredible film, a true cinematic achievement, possibly a classic and maybe will be the first 3D movie to break through and win the Best Picture Oscar.
