Life of Pi - Best movie of the decade

[TheTruth90]

lol at you fags who watch this kiddie movie.

I'd rather watch Silver Linings Playbook or Argo.

  great movie   better than argo

[Hulkotron]

I would not really say it's a kids movie.  The previews kind of made it look like he's on a magical adventure with his friend Mr. Tiger but really the tiger is trying to eat/kill him for most of the movie.

If not a kids movie, did you find it to be a realistic movie?

[Emmortal]

I gotta admit that the tiger looked very real and especially when he lunged  at the kid while the kid attempted to climb back into the boat.

I've participated in some 'green screen' productions but how those tiger scenes were done, is beyond my understanding.

It was done by extremely talented artists at Rhythm and Hues, which just filed for bankruptcy a few weeks ago.

It's in a way uber realistic, you need to understand that the movie is told from the perspective of a person and not a lenses. 

Which is one of the reasons the movie works.

The beauty of the movie is much like shawshank redemption, or forest gump, it's a very very simple story done well.

mediocre, argo was very overrated too

where was looper, dredd?

[MikMaq]

Argo was the worst, it was good because it was a true story, and happened to have alot of big name actors.

If it was about any other country, and didn't have the name's it would of just been an indie film.

Life of Pi sucked, but it does confirm one thing, that GOD isn't real, it is just a fictional story told by those who prefer it to the reality of life.   The story showed believing in a god as fantasy – indeed, as extreme gullibility, or even the inability to distinguish reality from delusion and wishful-thinking.  Poor deluded God Botherers, unable to deal with reality on it's own terms.

Lol leave it to the flaming libtard to ramble on such a trivial issue. The film is open ended.

Pretty good. Visual stuff over narrative stuff.

Trivial issue - You fail to see the depths of life don't you.  The whole movie was about the concept of GOD, and even if GOD isn't real it is better to believe in him anyway, because the reality of life is too much to take.  The film isn't open ended, it starts with the premise that the storyteller will tell a story that will make the listener believe in God, it ends with the storyteller suggesting that Life is better with a belief in a higher power regardless of whether or not it exists.

I saw this movie last night with my gf.   The movie was better than I thought it would be.  It's more than simply a movie about a guy in a boat with a Tiger.   I would say its the most authentic looking CGI I've ever seen in a movie.  It sets the bar IMO. 

[Henda]

2 hours of a paki on a boat with a tiger, no thanks.

And immediately after stating this belief in god, it shows the guy asking the question to be exceptionally open minded on the issue of religion(dude named himself after a math symbol, had a atheist father etc etc). To the point that it's obvious that the writer isn't forcing the issue. 

The movie could said to be about a lot of things, the need to survive, god, belief, existence, whatever.

whining pussy on her period again

I think Haider was on the boat for several months ... like 221 days or something.

[cephissus]

I agree with e-kul on this one.

If the point is that we need delusions, well that is a good point that goes over a lot of peoples' heads.  But there's a difference between people who are deluded for good reason, and people who keep believing in thoroughly debunked concepts (like Pi did).  The latter aren't "profound" or "open minded"... they're just retarded.
