"In the end we will lose something. But the worse is not taking a chance to say goodbye." - Pi
I still sat there on the bench cinema as one by one the crowd began jostling to leave their seats to get to the exit. 3D glasses are black and thick successfully cover the tears streamed down her cheeks so the audience next to me was not surprised as he raised an eyebrow, "Why is this kid? '. Over the next few minutes, eh not, errr ... the next few hours, I am still struggling to forget what I've seen it for 2 hours. In fact, I am lost for words can describe how wonderful Life of Pi works of Ang Lee. Really, this is an incredibly beautiful film. If only 'local drizzle' does not go down after watching this movie, maybe I'll immediately stood and clapped as loud as possible as I do when listening to The Artist earlier this year. You may feel that my writing will be impressed hyperbole, but that's the reality. This is what I feel. You may agree or not, you may believe it or not. But for me, Life of Pi is a cinematic achievement is remarkable.
Life of Pi went from best-selling novel written by Yann Martel was first published in 2001. The main character of this story is the Indian boy named Piscine Molitor Patel. Strangeness of his name makes him often be the butt of their peers to receive the nickname, "pissing Patel". Tired of being harassed, he was proclaimed Pi as its name when in junior high school. In the early half of the film, the audience was treated to background Pi by looking how the lives of families who have a local zoo. It is also claimed Pi begin a spiritual quest to apply the teachings of the three religions at once; Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. Decisions that can not be understood by those around him. When zoo bankruptcy, Santosh Patel (Adil Hussain) had decided to bring his family to Canada. According to the plan, the animals will be transferred if only valuable in North America. Patel family had traveled thousands of kilometers across the vast ocean using Japanese-owned cargo ship.
Unfortunately, on the way, blocking the storm raging seas. In a short time, the brunt of the waves sank the ship and its passengers. There were no survivors, except for Pi (Suraj Sharma), a wounded zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a tiger named Richard Parker. The five of them bobbing in the boat fighting for their lives. By joining an adult Bengal tiger, the life expectancy for each 'survivor' too thin especially when hunger began to take control. In just a short time, when the animals began to fight each other, Richard Parker and Pi be the last two standing. And to reach land safely sentosa, then Pi must be reconciled with Richard Parker. That is the only way out for now. With Pi began to accept the existence Richard Parker at his side, that's when it starts a thrilling journey begins. Questions about the existence of God is slowly gained. Doubts that had filled her heart began to vanish. This is the turning point of the life of Pi!
I will not tell you what will happen next. If you've never read the novel version, then be prepared to be made was shocked, amazed, and in awe. Again and again I say 'Subhanallah' see what was served on the screen. It was enchanting. Am I dreaming right now? Am I in heaven? It looks too good to be true. Without intending to spoilers, I was fascinated by the way Ang Lee presents a marvelous meerkat island, flying fish, or a swarm of fish that make up the light when the evening. Beautiful. Even at a time when there was nothing else around, only the water in the ocean, the boat, and the sky was still managed to find beauty. Discussing about visualization and cinematography from Claudio Miranda, it was almost all the spectators who have watched Life of Pi agreed that this was one of the strengths of the film directed by penggondol 'Best Director' at the Oscars with Brokeback Mountain is. Saliva dripped at the sight. Speech is no longer beads rolled from my tiny mouth because I have reached ... orgasm. God.
You may be wondering, is not before Life of Pi was present The Tree of Life and Avatar are also very amazing judging from the visual aspect? Oh believe me, the two films is not nothing compared to what has been realized by Ang Lee in here. Any beauty etched on the screen supported by appropriate use of 3D. This is the best 3D I've ever see in my life. It was James Cameron who received praise worship for the use of the 3D in Avatar outstanding must recognize the benefits of this Taiwan-born director. Ang Lee uses 3D not as a mere gimmick or just follow the trend, but rather the needs of the story. To accentuate the depth of the image. The audience was as if engaged with the adventure Pi with Richard Parker. As if we were in the lifeboat. In this way, the audience does not just sit back, passively, and in the end it says '3 D okay well yes. 'Finish the story. However, the expected, the audience seemed to be involved in the film, as a contribution even though only able to see without being able to do anything.
Concerns fans describe novel Life of Pi as a 'novel a difficult set forth in the language of images' were ultimately unfounded. Ang Lee's duties perfectly. Hands down. In terms of visual and 3D usage, have no need to be elaborated further. I have explained how wonderful elaborate film image in the previous paragraph. Is missing from the article is confusing me on Life of Pi was a satisfactory support from the department of acting and script. As a newcomer for the first time acting in a movie, Suraj Sharma presenting a nearly his impeccable acting. It's reminiscent of Tom Hanks in Cast Away where most of the film he moves his own movie with Wilson's ya ... only in the form of inanimate objects shaped volleyball. That's what happened by Suraj Sharma. Kala floating in the Pacific Ocean, he is the only actor in there literally. Richard Parker played some tigers, and instead often brought to life by CGI. Emotions are up and down delivered with compelling and evocative expression of the heart without sounding redundant. Empathy audience was easily pinned to figure Pi.
From the department of manuscripts, there is no doubt at all that this is one of the best adapted script for this year. Writing David Magee which is based on Yann Martel's work is powerful, hypnotic, honest and heartbreaking. Honestly, I've never even touched the novel version although the intention to gobble it down never occurred in my mind. When tens of thousands of words are transformed into moving images, I can just stunned. Yes, this is one of the reasons why I did not say a word bica after watching Life of Pi. A story pertaining to religious faith, hope, and courage subtly conveyed no impression lecture. After the minutes passed, and then the credits roll creeping, I felt slapped. If I were in the position of Pi, will I still believe that God has properties Merciful? Or in extreme levels, it was indeed true that God is real? This, too, I made the material for contemplation and introspection. Feeling guilty, selfish, and spoiled considering how easy I blame God just because an event is not even bigger than ants when juxtaposed with what has been experienced by Pi. My perspective on life was more or less unchanged.
In the end, the decision to watch or skip the Life of Pi passed away to each of you personally. To be sure, I have witnessed a spectacle that is so magical and I have never felt before when they travel to the cinema. Everything about this movie was simply beautiful. For more than two hours, Life of Pi made me excited, engaged, touched, laughing, shocked, to slap loudly. Never once felt bored. Not once! Ang Lee took me to a journey across the vast ocean using a luxury yacht complete with friends a fun and memorable entertainment. Matchless satisfaction has been obtained. Ang Lee at his best! Slick appearance of the players, amazing storytelling, cinematography is stunning, stunning visual effects, beautiful music score, to clad fantasy adventure full of surprises is what you will get from the Life of Pi. And was coupled with a pervasive 3D its perfect. You do not have to wait until January to find out whether Life of Pi will enter into the list of '20 Best Picture 2012 version Cinetariz 'or not because right now I am also going to tell you ... definitely go.
