A masterfully crafted movie packaged as a beautiful fable. There are multiple stories happening and several themes approached by it; one just needs to dig beneath the surface. The movie shots and picture, although CGI, can be quite beautiful and mesmerizing at times.
The movie presents us with a tale of a young man stranded in the middle of the ocean fighting for survival; but that is only the first layer, as you unpeel it multiple others are revealed.
There is also the story of the lonely man that needed to get away from the place that was eating him away.
The story of the man who despite losing everything - his home, his romantic affection, his material possessions, his family - showed resiliency and kept carrying on. What keeps him going I'm not sure, maybe hope, maybe faith. The movie doesn't try to give any answers on the why; it just tells a story.
And the story of a man pushed to his physical and mental limits, that is forced to unleash the animal inside. This one is quite interesting since there are multiple facets to it. One is the concept of evil and how evil breeds violence. The other is the concept of human needs - somewhat related to Maslow's hierarchy of needs - where having some essential need unsatisfied will lead to an extreme, either violence or madness, or both.
The movie also gently touches the themes of science and faith.


Santosh Patel: Spectacle. Don't let the stories and pretty lights fool you, boys. Religion is darkness.


Santosh Patel: Because, believing in everything at once is the same thing as believing in nothing.
Gita Patel: He is young, Santosh. He is still trying to find his own way.
Santosh Patel: And how can he find his own way if he does not learn to choose a path? Instead of leaping from one religion to the next, why not start with reason? In ten years science has taught us more about the universe than religion has in ten-thousand.
Gita Patel: Yes, that is true. Science is very good at teaching us what is out there...
Gita Patel: [puts her hand over her heart] But not what is in here.
Santosh Patel: Some eat meat, some vegetarian. I do not expect us to agree about everything, but I would much rather have you believe in something I don't agree with, than to accept everything blindly.


Santosh Patel: Animals don't think like we do! People who forget that get themselves killed. When you look into an animal's eyes, you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you, and nothing else.


Pi: Hunger can change everything you thought you knew about yourself.


Pi Patel: Above all: don't lose hope.


Pi: Without Richard Parker, I would have died by now. My fear of him keeps me alert. Tending to his needs gives my life purpose.


Pi: Years ago, some poor fellow, just like me, must have found himself stranded on that island and, like me, thought he might stay there forever. But all that the island gave him by day, it took away again by night. To think, how many hours spent with only meerkats for company. How much loneliness taken on. All I know is that eventually he died and the island digested him, leaving behind only his teeth. I saw how my life would end if I stayed on that island. Alone and forgotten. I had to get back to the world, or die trying.


Pi: [on leaving Richard Parker on the island] I couldn't leave without him, of course. It would mean killing him. And so, I waited for his return. I knew he wouldn't be late.


Pi: No one has seen that floating island since. And you won't read about those trees in any nature book. And yet, if I hadn't found those shores, I would have died. If I hadn't discovered that tooth, I would have been lost, alone forever. Even when God seemed to have abandoned me He was watching. Even when He seemed indifferent to my suffering He was watching. And when I was beyond all hope of saving He gave me rest, then gave me a sign to continue my journey.


Pi: [on having arrived to a safe land] And so, Richard Parker went ahead of me. He stretched his legs and walked along the shore. At the edge of the jungle, he stopped. I was certain he was going to look back at me flatten his ears to his head, growl. That he would bring our relationship to an end in some way. But he just stared ahead into the jungle. And then, Richard Parker, my fierce companion the terrible one who kept me alive disappeared forever from my life.


Pi: You know, my father was right. Richard Parker never saw me as his friend. After all we had been through, he didn't even look back. But I have to believe there was more in his eyes than my own reflection staring back at me. I know it, I felt it, even if I can't prove it. You know, I've left so much behind: my family, the zoo, India, Anandi. I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons, I would never have survived. I know Richard Parker is a tiger but I wish I had said, "It's over. We survived. Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker. You'll always be with me. May God be with you."


Pi Patel: He was such an evil man. But worse still, he brought the evil out in me. I have to live with that.


Pi: I've told you two stories about what happened out on the ocean. Neither explains what caused the sinking of the ship and no one can prove which story is true and which is not. In both stories, the ship sinks, my family dies and I suffer.
Writer: True.
Pi: So, which story do you prefer?
Writer: The one with the tiger. That's the better story.
