The movie I will be talking about today is Life of Pi. The Life of Pi is a very magical and exceptional movie that has won the audience's heart. It explores several themes, like survival, fear, loneliness, personal growth, and friendship. This movie was nominated for three golden globes, winning two and 11 Academy Awards, winning four. On both awards shows it won best picture. However, such a successful movie has its setbacks and challenges.
For starters, the book is very creative and to make into film was going to be a very challenging task. It was going to take a director that could truly understand and relate to the story. Some directors took an interest to the script but they weren't right to bring it to life until Ang Lee.
Another challenge was the graphics to create the tiger. They did actually have a real tiger to stand in the boat and move around the boat in order to study the movements his body made. From then the visual effects people switched from the real life tiger to the CGI tiger back and forth in the movie, to which according to them it has never been done before. Their computers had to adapt to how fast the movements of this tiger was since are very fast and then wanted to achieve realism. It was important for it to look real because it's character is very essential to be believable.
As for the actor he was just a regular kid from Dheli. His brother was the one that went to audition for the role and he was just there to support and accompany him. Suraj Sharma was told to give it a shot because of his age. He did and then they called him back. Six months later, he met with the producers and did one final audition. He was later told he got the role.
