The life of Pi: a film full of teachings / La vida de Pi: un film lleno de enseñanzas [English / Spanish].
The movie Life of Pi also known as An Extraordinary Adventure, is a masterpiece from director Ang Lee that has captivated viewers around the world since its release in 2012. The story follows Pi Patel, a young Indian boy who survives a shipwreck on the high seas along with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. The ending of the film is one of the most debated and discussed aspects by viewers, as it raises profound questions about faith, survival and human nature.
The film deals with faith as a central theme. Its main character is a young man named Pi Patel who searches in his life for answers through religion to learn how to face the difficulties of life. Pi is a young man from India, whose father owns a zoo in that country. His father is an atheist who only believes in scientific facts, while his mother is Hindu and introduces him to religion, which awakens his spiritual curiosity.
The story begins when Pi Patel is visited by a writer who wants to hear more about his story than that of a shipwrecked survivor who, despite having lost everything, has not lost faith in God. The writer wants to know if he will be able to believe in God again with this testimony, so he starts the interview, but Pi not only tells what happened, he talks about his life to try to show God's plans.
In this film, the same story is told in two versions: one in the form of an animal fable, full of spiritual symbols and instructive throughout, and the other is simply a summary of what happened in straightforward language. This flat story is dispatched in five minutes and strips the events of all the essence of learning and adventure it contains. In other words, the second version turns an extraordinary spiritual adventure into a simple record of events.
The fabricated story, on the other hand, depicts the people who survived the shipwreck along with him. The orangutan was his own mother; the Zebra was a young Buddhist and the hyena the ship's cook, with whom they both quarreled. This lack of values and spirituality leads him to act in an animalistic way in the face of adversity and the cook murders the Buddhist and Pi's mother.
The tiger represents Pi's repressed animal instinct. Seeing his mother's murder triggered his anger and made him commit an inhuman act: murder. Afraid of himself and fearful of uncertainty, Pi, who has been characterized as a spiritual and calm man, must find a way to tame the wild instinct in him, but he cannot get rid of it either. His animal instinct is also the power that allows him to survive.
Finally finding the shore, Pi separates from Richard Parker, who turns his back on him and does not bother to look at him for the last time.
In common parlance the word animal is applied to people who have lost the ability to behave like animals, i.e. those who have become inhuman. With this logic, the film shows how the conditions of survival alienate the person from his or her center.
The extreme survival experience strains people's inner spaces and makes them reveal all their previously tamed instincts. But one thing stands out in this film: not all animal instincts are murderous or stealthy: some are fear, self-defense, protection of the herd, cunning, camouflage, etc.
In a film, each character's instinctive reactions vary depending on what values he or she has learned to observe the world. Thus, while the hyena kills with unnecessary violence, the tiger only acts in reaction.
But, what maintains Pi's human essence in the midst of the whole experience is the memory of Anandi (the woman he is in love with), and faith in God, Pi maintains his ability to perceive beauty, to dream, to imagine, but above all, Pi maintains hope.
One of the most striking aspects of Life of Pi is its ending, which raises the question of whether the story told by Pi is true or whether it is simply a metaphor for his traumatic experiences. This ambiguity has divided critics and viewers, some of whom believe that Pi invented the tiger story to survive, while others interpret Richard Parker's presence as a symbol of Pi's internal struggle to survive in a world full of dangers.
Its ambiguous ending and deep exploration of themes such as faith and survival ensure that this film will remain relevant for generations to come.
Ang Lee's ability to combine impressive special effects with an emotional and thoughtful narrative has been acclaimed by critics around the world. Other key members of the team include writer Yann Martel, whose novel was the basis for the film, and actor Suraj Sharma, who played Pi masterfully.
Through the film we see themes such as prejudice, xenophobia, religious intolerance, intercultural dialogue, the eternal debate between modern scientific thought and religious thought, the meaning of life and the faith that unites them all as a phenomenon. human.
Each person chooses how to view their experiences and how they can affect their own life. Pi has three keys that he learned as a child: openness to the universe and nature, acceptance of God's will and love as a mobilizing force.
I have the film in Blu Ray format and from time to time I enjoy this spectacular film.
On this occasion, I participate in the Hive Learners community with the following topic:

La película La vida de Pi también conocida como Una Aventura Extraordinaria, es una obra maestra del director Ang Lee que ha cautivado a espectadores de todo el mundo desde su estreno en 2012. La historia sigue a Pi Patel, un joven indio que sobrevive a un naufragio en alta mar junto con un tigre de Bengala llamado Richard Parker. El final de la película es uno de los aspectos más debatidos y discutidos por los espectadores, ya que plantea preguntas profundas sobre la fe, la supervivencia y la naturaleza humana.
El film trata de la fe como tema central. Su personaje principal es un joven llamado Pi Patel que busca en su vida respuestas a través de la religión para aprender a afrontar las dificultades de la vida. Pi es un joven de la India, cuyo padre es dueño de un zoológico en ese país. Su padre es un ateo que solo cree en hechos cientificos , mientras que su madre es hindú y le introduce en la religión, lo que despierta su curiosidad espiritual.
La historia comienza cuando Pi Patel recibe la visita de un escritor que quiere escuchar más sobre su historia que sobre la de un náufrago superviviente que, a pesar de haberlo perdido todo, no ha perdido la fe en Dios. El escritor quiere saber si podrá volver a creer en Dios con este testimonio, por lo que inicia la entrevista, pero Pi no solo cuenta lo sucedido, habla de su vida para intentar mostrar los planes de Dios.
En esta película, la misma historia se cuenta en dos versiones: una en forma de fábula de animales, llena de símbolos espirituales e instructiva en todo momento, y la otra es simplemente un resumen de lo sucedido en lenguaje directo. Esta historia plana se despacha en cinco minutos y despoja a los acontecimientos de toda la esencia de aprendizaje y aventura que encierra. En otras palabras, la segunda versión convierte una extraordinaria aventura espiritual en un simple registro de los acontecimientos.
La historia fabulada, por otro lado, representa a las personas que sobrevivieron al naufragio junto a el. El orangután era su propia madre; la Zebra era un joven budista y la hiena el cocinero del barco, con quienes ambos se pelearon. Esta falta de valores y de espiritualidad le lleva a actuar de forma animal ante la adversidad y el cocinero asesina al budista y a la madre de Pi.
El tigre, representa el instinto animal reprimido de Pi. Ver el asesinato de su madre desencadenó su ira y le hizo cometer un acto inhumano: el asesinato. Temeroso de sí mismo y temeroso de la incertidumbre, Pi, quien se ha caracterizado por ser un hombre espiritual y tranquilo, debe encontrar la manera de domar el instinto salvaje que hay en él, pero tampoco puede deshacerse de él. Su instinto animal es también el poder que le permite sobrevivir.
Al encontrar finalmente la orilla, Pi se separa de Richard Parker, quien le da la espalda y no se molesta en mirarlo por última vez.
En el lenguaje corriente la palabra animal es aplicado a personas que han perdido la capacidad de comportarse como tales, es decir, aquellas que se han vuelto inhumanas. Con esta lógica, la película muestra cómo las condiciones de supervivencia alejan a la persona de su centro.
La experiencia de supervivencia extrema tensa los espacios interiores de las personas y les hace revelar todos sus instintos previamente domesticados. Pero una cosa destaca en esta película: no todos los instintos animales son asesinos o sigilosos: algunos son el miedo, la autodefensa, la protección del rebaño, la astucia, el camuflaje, etc.
En una película, las reacciones instintivas de cada personaje varían dependiendo de qué valores ha aprendido para observar el mundo. Por tanto, mientras la hiena mata con violencia innecesaria, el tigre sólo actúa como reacción.
Pero, lo que mantiene la esencia humana de Pi en medio de toda la experiencia es el recuerdo de Anandi (la mujer de la cual está enamorado), y la fe en Dios, Pi mantiene su capacidad de percibir la belleza, de soñar, de imaginar, pero sobre todo, Pi mantiene la esperanza.
Uno de los aspectos más impactantes de La vida de Pi es su final, que plantea la pregunta de si la historia contada por Pi es verdadera o si es simplemente una metáfora de sus experiencias traumáticas. Esta ambigüedad ha dividido a críticos y espectadores, algunos de los cuales creen que Pi inventó la historia del tigre para sobrevivir, mientras que otros interpretan la presencia de Richard Parker como un símbolo de la lucha interna de Pi por sobrevivir en un mundo lleno de peligros.
Su final ambiguo y su profunda exploración de temas como la fe y la supervivencia garantizan que este film seguirá siendo relevante para las generaciones venideras.
Ang Lee logra combinar efectos especiales impresionantes con una narrativa emotiva y reflexiva ha sido aclamada por críticos de todo el mundo. Otros miembros clave del equipo incluyen al escritor Yann Martel, cuya novela sirvió de base para la película, y al actor Suraj Sharma, quien interpretó a Pi de manera magistral.
A través de la película vemos temas como los prejuicios, la xenofobia, la intolerancia religiosa, el diálogo intercultural, el eterno debate entre el pensamiento científico moderno y el pensamiento religioso, el sentido de la vida y la fe que los une a todos como fenómeno humano.
Cada persona elige cómo ver sus experiencias y cómo pueden afectar a su propia vida. Pi tiene tres claves que aprendió desde niño: la apertura al universo y a la naturaleza, la aceptación de la voluntad de Dios y el amor como fuerza movilizadora.
Tengo el film en formato Blu Ray y de tiempo en tiempo disfruto este espectacular film.
En esta oportunidad, participo en la comunidad Hive Learners con el siguiente tema:
De la pantalla a la vida: Muchos de nosotros vemos películas o reality shows de vez en cuando. Háblenos de las películas o programas que, en su opinión, tienen muchas enseñanzas para los espectadores. ¿Cómo le han afectado? ¿Qué aprendió de ellos? ¿Sigue viéndolos?
Feliz fin de semana para todos!.

WOW 😲! The trailer alone of that boy and the lion. The life of PI . I because afraid for the boy when he opened and saw the lion that came after him as though he was going to kill him. Though the lion did not harm him.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your visit. We can see the story from two points of view, the fabulous and the real life. This tiger represents the violent part of Pi. They are the same person during the shipwreck. The fabricated part is really more entertaining and more digestible than what actually happened.
I have seen this movie and wow, when you watch it for the first time, it’s a surprise when you really realize what is happening! It truly is a movie that offers many lessons, whether they are spiritual or about self-awareness. A beautiful film!
It is an exquisite film, I saw it at the cinema with the family, and my daughter, who at that time was 11 years old, discussed with me the end of the film, I was very surprised how she explained to me what really happened during the shipwreck, while I defended the fabulous story, the fantasy. My mind blocked the reality for the benefit of the story, of the parable. He leaves us with an ending in which he gives us the opportunity to choose between reality or fantasy!
Awesome post 👏
I have seen the trailer of this movie several times but never saw the need to watch it until now and it's quite surprising why I didn't watch it some years back.
From your description, the movie has a lot of lesson and thanks for sharing sir. I am adding this to the list of movies I am seeing this weekend.
