I don’t usually review movies on this web site, unless the central theme of the film is food (like “Big Night”). \u00a0However I want to talk about this one, because it being the holiday season and all, I thought a movie all about pie would be fun, and hoped it would feature my favorite “pecan.”<\/p>\n

Alas, no such luck. \u00a0There wasn’t a single slice mentioned in this cinematic effort, and food themes were limited to a) gravy, b) a rat, and c) a carnivore island.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, I recommend you see this movie. \u00a0It describes the struggle of a young man to survive a shipwreck, which occurs when his family is moving from India to Canada.<\/p>\n

As the young man battles to merely survive, the power of his faith, and the lessons of his father are recounted.<\/p>\n

The Life of Pi is beautifully shot by Chilean Claudio Miranda (Fight Club, The Game), and masterfully directed by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Eat Drink Man Woman).<\/p>\n

Suraj Sharma plays Pi to the hilt, and although this movie was 75% green screen and CGI, his ability to play to that shines through.<\/p>\n

Life of Pi. \u00a0See it. \u00a0Expect no pecan, but you’ll be emotionally satiated.<\/p>\n
