Theme: The will to live
1. What does the title mean in relation to the film as a whole?
The title means that It is the journey of the life of pi in the ocean as he fights for his survival.
2. Among the characters, to whom can you relate to?
Pi because he is a strong person he seems to never give up on things easily and always have a positive mind and hope that he will get through each problems or storm that comes.
3. Which part of the presentation struck you the most? Why?
The part when Pi interprets both manifestations as gifts from God. He says, God "gave me rest … and a sign to continue the journey." This scene struck me the most because He had faith in God and I believe that God never leave us and never forsake us. He will always be there watching for us. and this It's like Pi is losing hope but his faith to God makes his strong and gives him the courage to move forward and continue the journey.
4. What is the movie’s message?
The movie tells us. that in life we struggle and it doesn't mean that we should stop and give up on things we should face it and conquer each trials that come which could make you stronger as you can be and The most Important thing is "Don't Lose Hope" because if you will stay in that mindset things will turn out well and everything will be alright, As the song says " God will make a way, where there seems to be no way"
5. Did I like this in general? Why?
I like it but i didn't love it. I like how the films tells us about the life of pi but some part of the movie which seems I can't understand because in every chapters of it you need to analyze for us to enable to understand the whole film. I would rate it 7 out of 10.
6. Did I agree with the main theme/purpose? Why or why not?
Yes because as what i see in the film is that "He doesnt say he gave up" but he still continue and never give up, he always find ways in order for him to survive and Pi is really serious that he wants to live.
7. What specifically did I like/dislike? Why?
I like the animation of the film and it's characters and the story is pretty interesting the thing that I dislike about the film is that the story line is kind of hard to understand and you need to pay attention and focus in order for you to understand.
8. Are there any aspects of theme which are left ambiguous at the end? Why?
The Tiger which I think symbolizes as Pi. because both character have a strong will and doesn't seem to never give up they have the courage and both want to live.
9. How does this film relate to the things that are happening in your life?
I can relate my life to the film because I experience trials which represents the storm in the film and through it, it will not shake my faith to my God. and there also people which deceives me which represents the carnivorous island that i was deceived by them and I have to face the consequences of those actions. but by God it made me continue and see life as it's worth living.
