Review- Life of Pi

The movie is based on a book by Yann Martel with the same title "Life of Pi". I haven't read the book, so I can't compare it with the movie, so I will stick my review only with the movie.
The movie in my opinion is about survival, about believing in ourself in any circumstances.
The movie was starred by Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, and also the bengal tiger. The movie is about a boy, Piscine Molitor - named by his father after a swimming pool in Paris. With that kind of name, Piscine always become a joke by his school friends, so he changed his name with Pi - a mathematical constant ratio for a circle.
Pi grew up in a zoo, his father was the owner of the zoo. One day, the zoo who used the city park was asked again by the local government, so they have no choice but moved to Canada. This is where the real story start.
The story start when the ship they used was sank, and Pi was left alone in a small boat with a bengal tiger named Harry Parker. If it was me, maybe I have become the bones stranded in the sea. Pi was stranded in the sea with Harry Parker for about 2 months, could you imagine that?? Finally the boy and the bengal tiger made a pact that they will respect each other territory, and become family since there was nothing left besides them. Pi, will placed plastic container so when the rain comes they could filled the container with water. He will also do the fishing, so both of them could eat. A very amazing survival mode, Pi is extremely creative and devoted to Harry Parker. There was one scene where he hijacked the boat and let Harry Parker stranded in the sea, and from that moment on they realized that they only have each other.
The movie was great, the scenery in the ocean was beautifully shown along the movie, I enjoyed the scenery very much. After I watch the movie, I realized how small I am in this whole universe, and how lucky I am. Suraj Sharma shown the depression, the giving up moment, the fighting, the sadness of loosing your whole family and the reviving moment very well.
This is one of the must see movie, I give this movie 4/5 stars!
