The story of this Ang Lee movie accounts the life of a young boy who is stranded at sea after the ship he was on with his family capsizes. His journey of discovery and adventure is chronicled rather gloriously in this work of art, as he loses those dearest to him. Perhaps the most powerful part of the feature film is the boy's unexplained attachment to his only companion in the survival. The movie opens with a writer paying a visit to an Indian storyteller in Canada named Pi Patel. Curious to know the story behind the storyteller's nickname as well as his origins, the writer gets into a discussion with him about his childhood and life in India. The story then jumps to a small town in Pondicherry where Pi lived with his parents. His her was a zoo owner and had to move jobs to Canada with all of his animals. In the process of relocating, the family boards a Japanese cargo ship in which they place all of their zoo animals. Struck by disaster in the form of a storm, the ship sinks and Pi becomes the only one to survive. What he doesn't notice initially, is that the boat that in which he survived has other survivors too, namely a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a male Bengal tiger called Richard Parker. Life Of Pi by Ang Lee was released on 2013 by 20th century Fox in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The movie is rated U/A and is available in the DVD formats.
