I had written about my recent foray into a movie date in my blog post The First Time. I am on a crusade to persuade my friends and family to see the film before it is taken off theaters.
I wish that I could have written this review in the Economic Times. If any of my readers want reassurance that it is a good film to see, this review should clinch it,
I am reading the book right now. Are you saying that the movie in the theatre is that extraordinary that it should be seen there rather than later on a high definition television? Before it is read?
Read the book 4 months back. One of the best I’ve read, so please hear, hear Mr Conrad Hake.
The film in 3D is awesome. No doubt. But please read the book first and then watch whenever you can on a good TV and you may then know why the same is suggested. Few changes in film. Subtle but still significant. Enjoy the book and then enjoy the film, because even without 3D it will still be a visual treat.
Just a suggestion.
Watch for those Parkers, they are all tigers! 😉

When you see the movie, you will understand why this particular tiger is called a Parker but I know two Parkers who are tigresses alright.
Yes, my question is the same as Conrad’s. Should I read the book first?

Not necessary but preferable, You could also read it later to get a better understanding of the nuances that I mentioned in my earlier post.
My wife is demanding that we go to see the movie. I think it has something to do with it being directed by a Chinese and partially filmed in Taiwan, but maybe she has secretly read the book.

Strangely enough, there is nothing Chinese in the film except the director!
I saw the movie but not in 3D, and I did not read the book first. Would you have liked it as much were it not set in India?

India plays a very little part in it. The Indian portrayed as Pi however most certainly did. There are people who talk and move just like him everywhere.
Purely on your blog, I went to watch this movie.
Thank god you went to watch Life of Pi as your first movie after a long pause…
Such a wonderful movie.
I am flattered Pravin. The next time you are in Pune, let us go to a movie together!
