We don't like the other being true because it's so sad and dramatic. I did too, but when talking about it with someone else, I realized it's just our human side that makes us want to believe it.
I know there are people who like to believe the animal story.
The other one, the more religious interpretation, would just be the story you're reading and that's what happened.īut at the end, no confirmed answer is there.ĭisclaimer: If you haven't seen the movie yet, please don't read this answer. What I was trying to do in this book was try and discuss how we interpret reality - most secular readers will read the book and say 'Ah, okay, there's one story told and actually something else happened, and Pi 'invented' this other story to pass the time, or make his reality bearable. Some hints the author gave himself too in the same interview: I agree with about the saying "and so it goes with God" reveals that this story might be true (again depends on you). So please dont try to analyze, just enjoy the story as it is.
#Guess the movie answers life of pi free
We're not free necessarily to choose the facts of our life, but there is an element of freedom in how we interpret them. One day we wake up and we're in a great mood, the city we live in is a beautiful city, the next day it's an ugly city. Reality isn't just "out there", like some block of cement: reality is an interpretation. This is what made a brilliant contribution for the success of the movie.Įven the author himself wanted to remain the mystery when asked about which is the true one. We're not going to tell you which story to believe. On the other hand, the first story is also totally unlikely. The sheer volume, the proliferation of details, favors the first. Now for the BIG question: Which version do you believe? Do you think Pi, as young boy, comes up with fantastical tale to cope with an ugly truth? Or is it somehow not the point to decide what actually happened? That the beauty of the first story outweighs the believability of the second? On the one hand, Martel spends a good 200 pages developing the first story and about 7 on the second. I found some great piece of lines in the web: It is something that makes the movie healthy. There are a lot of successful movies where a question is kept alive intentionally through out the movie and never a perfect answer is given because public like mystery and they likes solving it themselves if no answer is given (like you are trying :) ). First let me tell you that the ending of the movie is intentionally kept dim because it is the main attraction part of the movie.
