The main characters in the story Life of Pi are a boy named Piscine Molitor Patel also known as Pi, a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, and a boat. The story is about a young man who survived a shipwreck of the Tsimtsum but, lost his family. He was put into a lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, a Bengal tiger, and an orangutan. He makes it alive off the boat with the Bengal tiger, both however severely ill in two hundred and twenty-seven days. Pi made it to a hospital and was interviewed by two Japanese men who were wondering how the Tsimtsum sunk. The three main similarities between the book and the movie are that all the animals still represent the same people, in both the movie and the book Pi’s father fed the goat to the tiger, and they both explain Pi’s 3 religions. I believe that they kept all the animals to represent the same people because it adds more of a story to it. Pi’s father Santosh was teaching Pi a lesson to …show more content…
In my opinion, I believe the filmmakers didn’t put the blind sailor in the film because it would have been difficult for the audience to understand the reasoning how both Pi and the sailor go blind. The carnivorous island was more capable of understanding in my opinion when they were only on the island for one day because it’s an island that can consume you if you’re not careful. In my opinion, the book was better. The book gave you a better description of Pi’s life before the lifeboat where as the movie did not. Some people believe that the movie is better because it cuts out the many unnecessary details, but the details about Pi’s survival and the things he knew about the animals was half of the story for me. The movie was like a summary and I like when there is a bigger picture, in my opinion, that is why the book is
The first difference is the point of view. In the movie, the story is in Turtle’s point of view which makes it harder to understand the whole story. The book is in 3rd person point of view. Although the book is in 3rd person, it still has thoughts from the characters. The movie only has thoughts from Turtle and that makes it hard to understand.
Life standed on the sea is very grueling and risky. Only a few are able to face the
Another major difference between the book and movie is the traits and actions taken by the characters. One example is Alice Kinnian. In the story, she is depicted as a quiet, non-aggressive person, but in the movie she is very much the opposite in character. For one, she never really made a move towards Charly, however, in the movie, she is the more aggressive between the two. Also, towards the end of the movie, Alice asked Charly to marry her and that never even happened in the novel at all. Charly is another character who is given different traits and actions in the movie then the book. In the book, he is a kind, warm-hearted man who couldn’t harm a fly. Believe it or not in the movie Charly tried to sexually assault Alice. In the book he never ever would have tried to do such a horrible thing to Alice. Also, he got very upset when he found out that he failed one of the tests given to him at the laboratory. He could have cared less if he failed in the book. Charly’s family is something else that was never mentioned in the movie, and it’s probably the most important difference of them all. It is the most important because of the fact that when Charly went to visit his family, it brought to him a great deal of happiness
Although the book had a very mature storyline and theme, the movie, on the other hand made it seem like it was a children’s movie with all the unnecessary cute and funny scenes of the baby farm animals even though it was far from being a children’s story - it contained adult themes, alcohol abuse, executions, and violent battles. It was more than your average cartoon. Plus, most of the dialogue in the book was replaced by narration in the movie which reduced immensely the depth of personality of the animals. Not enough to ruin the movie, the endings between the novel and the film had quite a contrast. In the book, the story ended with a classic scene and a chilling line which grabbed the readers until the end.
One of the similarities was that the characters were the same in the book and in the movie. Also another one of the things that stayed consistent through the movie and book were the two major themes that were displayed. Most of the Actions were also very similar just like the rumble which would be displayed in the book and movie. Most of the dialect and actions were the same such as the part where Cherry and her friend were watching the movie and the greasers came and watched the movie with them. The book and the movie had very many
The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and
What happens when an Individual seeks union with divinity Where the protagonist Piscine Molitor Patel “Pi” is visited by the most extraordinary dreams, trances, visions, thoughts, sensations, and remembrances. In this 2012 American survival drama film Life Of Pi written by David Magee and directed by Ang Lee, Pi is
When considering the novels Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Life of Pi by Yann Martel, the reader notices that they do not appear to be similar despite both being stories of becoming stranded and rescued. However, both books contain elements of religion that dramatically change the way each novel affects the reader. The reason that the characters in Lord of the Flies regress into evil behaviors and the main character in Life of Pi does not is due to a difference in devotion to religion.
The first difference that you can see is that the book was in first person and the movie was in third. This being said, there were scenes added into the movie that was not in the book. I wasn’t disappointed
The book is different from the movie because the book overall as more parts and better descriptions. In the beginning of the book it shows Pony coming out of the movie house and walking on the sidewalk as he gets jumped(Hinton). Also in the book when Pony and Johnny were searching for the church Pony talks to the farmer about where Jay Mountain is and lies to the farmer saying the church was the “army headquarters”(Hinton). In the book when Johnny is in the hospital it says that he is on his back. The last thing different in the book is in the end where Pony’s school teacher tells him to write a paper, and the movie ends with him writing the story.
The book and the movie are also different in many ways. The book had more detail in some things but the movie has a better way of showing it. One of the ways that it is different is in the movie Scrooge sold corn to the three men at the bank but in the book that never happened at all! Another thing that was different between the movie
Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very
Imagine being stranded in the middle of an ocean for a year , with only food to eat for a short amount of time. No friends , family , phone. Any type of civilization. The name of the movie and text is “ Life Of Pi ”. The author of the book is Yann Martel and the director of the movie is Ang Lee. Life Of Pi book and the movie had many similarities and differences. In the beginning of the movie their are a lot of differences than similarities. In the middle of the movie their are a lot of similarities and in the end there are a lot of similarities than differences.
Yann Martel's novel (2001) and Ang Lee's film adaption (2012) of Life of Pi harbour themes such as isolation and the extent one would go to in order to survive. The story is split into two parts, the first part focuses on Piscine "Pi" Patel's background and his religious journey. Part two focuses on Pi's predicaments while he is stranded out at sea for 227 days. The second section of the story is renown for Pi's situation with a tiger named Richard Parker. Not only does the protagonist have to focus on his own survival, Pi needed to be attentive of the Bengal tiger; all whilst dealing with his loneliness. Martel and Led convey the ideas of isolation and survivability through the use of several literary and stylistic features throughout the texts.
In order for human kind to survive the painfully realistic days of existence, a sort of belief system is direly needed. As shown through Pi Patel from Life of Pi and Chuck Noland from Cast Away, holding onto a belief of something provides one with the determination to survive the worst conditions. Both the novel and the book share the story of two castaways who depend on their belief in something to survive and conquer their respective challenges – Pi Patel who depends on his faith in religion, and Chuck Noland with his faith in returning to civilization back to his loved one. At one point, they both lose this faith that keeps them
