For us, the movie was mesmerizing, and while watching the young Pi lost on the ocean in a small boat with a Bengal tiger, being pelted with flying fish and learning to master his fears, I was wishing I had seen it when it first came out because it is full of wisdom. I bought the book...looking forward to a slow read.
I found these quotes from and about the author Yann Martel on Wikipedia:
Life of Pi, according to Yann Martel, can be summarized in three statements:
"Life is a story ... You can choose your story ... A story with God is the better story."
Pi at the end of the book asks "If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for?" According to Gordon Houser there are two main themes of the book: "that all life is interdependent, and that we live and breathe via belief."
A story with God is the better story.
That seems like a Christmas story.
