Life of Pi
03:56:00
We, humans, don't learn by rules. If I tell you not to put your fingers into an electric socket, you'd most likely ask why. They have two holes, if you're bored the best way to spend your time is to stick your fingers there and wait for the result. If you say you're not so stupid as to even try, I'll ask whether you checked or someone told you that you shouldn't do this. How can you be so sure? Maybe the danger is only in theory?
We, humans, learn by stories. Possibly once you heard a story about a boy who was so intrigued by the electric socket that he decided to put there his two fingers and experienced a tragic death. Half of his body was burned from the shock, some pieces of meat from his arms, hands, and calf literally fell apart. He died, of course. But the smell of grilled meat was filling the room for days.
Are you still attracted to the electric socket or will you steer clear of it, always remembering the story about the grilled boy every time you want to play with the tempting device? Would you like to be told a story about a boy who survived on a boat with a tiger? Unbelievable? Possibly, yes. Would you like to learn something about God, religion, friendship, faith, us as humans and discover wisdom which reaches far beyond intellect and reason? Something more than a film, Life of Pi.
