If you guys have not seen Life of Pi, go. It has won some awards and while we enjoyed the movie, I suspect the book would be better and much more intelligent than the movie.Yann Martel is one of Z's fav. writers and since her sch days, she had listed Life of Pi as one of her choice books.Must look up her lib and read the book.I think it was first mentioned to me if not by Kit, Mark..many years ago in one of the Asia-Pac conferences.
Yann Martel was born in Spain of Canadian parents. He had lived everywhere including India.You can read more here:

I thought his philosophical take on the need for religion or the rejection of it was very sound.But that could just be the interpretation of the filmmaker (I really need to read Martel's book to compare). Oh by the way, Shaukat..if you are reading this, our film script made it to the top three.But if they do not find the money to turn all three scripts into short films, we are out. We are advised to rewrite it in Malay so that we could compete in international film festivals. MasyaAllah. Let's hope there's rezeki somewhere for this.Kot2 boleh jadi mcm Yann Martel nanti. :)
P/S Baru tau Richard Parker (rimau kawan Pi in the movie) bukan rimau betul.Gosh, he looked so real! Kata Nik, kalau betul, habis kena bahamlah the actor playing Pi.Kah3.Yup, Ang Lee's latest achievement is his use of digital creations in this movie.I loved the clear water lake scene where he was stranded and almost got killed by the swamp.Simply brilliant!
P.S.S Found the book on Z's shelf in her room ( gosh, I miss that gal, now shopping in London on Boxing Day).Yup, the book is better but the movie is true to the book. At least of the early part I've covered so far.
