Chris and I saw this movie on the weekend. And....he loved it.....I loved it, but I was also troubled by it. I didn't sleep well that night because I kept thinking about Richard Parker, the tiger. It's not that I have an obsession with tigers, but I just kept thinking why Pi thought of himself as the tiger.
If he was to be the king of the animal world, why not a lion? Why devote so much of the story to the relationship between him and the tiger if they are essentially the same person?
I haven't read the book yet, but I certainly will in order to get all the details. I remember I was interested in reading this book several years ago. But I thought to myself, "A boy and a tiger on a boat? For 300 something pages? You've got to be kidding me."
So, it's interesting that I end up coming back to the book again several years later.
The movie was great, but I think the book will give me some true revelations. Or not!
