Life of PI

First off, yes, I know I didn't do anything for wednesday... oh. you didn't ask? Oh, well the other thing is, yes, I know the Life of Pi does not just focus on Hinduism, but in fact makes a point of celebrating the sameness of three major religions (ie Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity), and using a vague symbol of Hinduism to represent this post does misrepresent it slightly.  I know, but i hadn't made the Hindu one yet, and I took this as an opportunity.

Though things like the Oscars are of only a little interest to me, I thought I could use my two inch soapbox here to show my support for the film based on the Yann Martel novel of the same name.  Ang Lee should at least win for Cinematography.  I didn't see a prettier film all year.  I enjoyed the mystical visuals Lee provided to make the strange story into something magical.  I also love its unifying theme, there's not enough of that in movies as far as I'm concerned..  I say, and will always say, read the book, it's great.  See the movie too, it's something wonderful to see.

Plus, Tigers are awesome!
