Pi's Fantasy Rafting

"The Fantastic Drifting of Pi" is adapted from Jan Martell's novel of the same name, which not only won the Man Booker Award, but also stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for more than a year.
At the beginning, drinking coffee and telling stories was a bit boring, making it feel like a very boring and heavy movie. When the protagonist began to tell the origin of the name π, he felt a little interesting. When the tiger in the middle appeared, the male protagonist's father taught him a bloody lesson on the spot: Animals and people have different thinking patterns, and if they forget this, they will die. This is very true and reasonable.
I have to say that the CG effect, the tiger has done really well. The bioluminescence of the sea, the rainbow arcs in the air by a majestic school of flying fish, the sparkling blue waves, and a humpback whale leaping out of the water are all great! Especially the night view there, it's beautiful!
Sina.com:
"The Fantastic Drifting of Pi" starts the film with the living conditions of various animals, supplemented by relaxed and flexible music with Indian characteristics, and casually outlines a wonderful world where all things grow and are natural and beautiful. Peaceful, but also contrasted with the choppy and even brutal reality that unfolds at the end. After a shipwreck, Pi sat in a lifeboat with a tiger, a crippled zebra, a hyena, and an orangutan, and began to drift aimlessly on the sea, while outside the ship, there were storms and thunderbolts. The other scenes go hand in hand with beautiful pictures. In the film, the audience can see the strange-shaped and colorful underwater creatures hidden under the ocean swimming around; in addition, the audience can also see the scene where the sea and the sky meet in the middle of the night. It's like docking on a beautiful huge mirror. These pictures are just able to deduct the visual meaning of the word "fantasy" in the title
