Monty Booij's Film Review !!!!

The film is called 'The Life Of Pi'.

Plot

The story is about a boy called Pi and his family, they were on a ship traveling to America from India.

The ship sank in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Pi was the only human who survived. He managed to get onto a life boat and survive with tiger called Richard Parker. The film is an adventure film and is my one of my favourite films.

Settings

The film starts in India in the family Zoo, the main part of the film takes place in the ocean. Pi and his family were transporting their zoo animals on a large ship. Pi's dad looked after the animals very well so that they wouldn't get sea sick. The animals were kept in cages deep in the hold area of the ship. When the ship sank, the animals escaped and tried to swim, many died, it was so sad, Pi cried. Pi made himself a raft, because he was afraid of Richard Parker, the tiger. In the middle of the ocean Pi sees lots of glowing lights from jelly fish, he also comes across a gigantic whale who destroys Pi's raft. Eventually Pi lands on an island. The living things on the island are Meerkats. Pi discovers that the island is carnivorous, he realises this because he find a human tooth in a flower. Finally, Pi arrives in Mexico, he is very weak and he is rescued and put in a hospital.
