Loved it! Thought it was as good as I could have hoped for seeing as its one of my favourite books. The ending was ambiguous but I choose to believe the story with the tiger, orang utan etc, rather than the human characters. I love how it has a deeper message of respect for nature - even dangerous predators and accepting fate. And not judging the animals for doing what comes naturally to them, ie: eating meat. It's also quite funny in parts. I loved the cinematography so much, it was so beautiful, especially in 3D.

I haven't seen it, but I've read the book! I remember pondering the end of the book for a while after reading it...

I've heard it's good, but I'm choosing not to watch it as that was the movie that the Indian gang rape victim watched before the crime took place... just doesn't seem appropriate to watch it anymore

QUOTE (nano-tyrannus @ 06/01/2013, 02:39 PM) I've heard it's good, but I'm choosing not to watch it as that was the movie that the Indian gang rape victim watched before the crime took place... just doesn't seem appropriate to watch it anymore Why wouldn't it be appropriate to watch it? Are you scared there is someone fat in it or something? Seriously, the movie had nothing to do with what happened. Oh and my kids want to go see it this week, so will probably be in here to talk about it after that. This post has been edited by ~sydblue~: 07/01/2013, 07:21 AM

I'm not going to see it. I read the book and when I heard they were making a film I shook my head, I don't think I could sit through that much CGI - I wish it to remain as I saw it in my head . Slight side note. I took my Dad to see 'Skyfall' at a Mums & Bubs session. They showed a trailer for 'Life of Pi' there. We had a lovely time. In the car on the way back to the aged care facility where he lives he was saying what a great time he'd had - "Shall we do this again Dad?" I asked (rather pleased I had found an activity that my frail Dad could enjoy) "Not if it's that bloody stupid tiger on a raft thing Melsie!" he said quite adamantly! So a no from Dad too!
