Just recently when we watched the Tree of Life, I thought that there could not be another film that incorporated such beautiful imagery in the piece. After this afternoon, I have decided that I had made a mistake.

The Life of Pi may not be quite as openly abstract as The Tree of Life, however, I would like to say that it was almost (if not) as beautiful as The Tree of Life. In contrast to The Tree of Life however, The Life of Pi used CGI in addition to the life shots. The use of camera angles was otherworldly in several scenes. Several times throughout the film, you would see an object floating in the sky, or the water, or kissing the horizon of the two, but you could not distinguish air from water, and it was all beautiful.

One of the things that I really liked was the way it made you think. You could not very well leave that theatre without asking which account was real, and which was not. This film questions reality, and it was interesting to see the world differently.
