This was a very popular film when it was released back in 2012. One thing that really stood out to people was the fact that this film is based on a true story (If you like stories based on real-life events, also check out Into The Wild<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look into the story of Life Of Pie and whether this is a true story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Life Of Pi A True Story?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The film is not based on a true story, as a lot of people believe. It is based on the novel written in 2001 by Yann Martel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the director of the film – Yann Martel – decided that she was going to create a movie of the book, she wanted the film to also have some realism. In order to do this, she involved Steven Callahan in the making of the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Callahan is a survivor of a shipwreck. His boat sank years ago and his experiences were similar to Pi\u2019s in many ways. Callahan spent 76 days on a raft, and he survived by collecting rain water and eating raw fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview Of The Life Of Pi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Life Of Pi, the film begins when an author visits Pi and begins asking him questions about his experience. You are then taken through his story as he tells it, which begins in India where the boy is raised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piscine, nicknamed Pi, develops into a teenager and becomes interested in all of the different religions. He realizes that he needs to find out about God and observe Islam, Hinduism and Christianity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His family owns a zoo, in which there is a tiger. Piscine\u2019s father is very worried that Piscine has such a strong connection with this tiger, and so he lets the tiger maul a goat in order to teach Pi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Pi Survive The Shipwreck?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the monetary constraints that the family are experiencing, Pi\u2019s father decides that he is going to move all of their precious animals across to Canada. In order to do this, the family and the animals all board a ship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they are on this voyage, a storm hits their Japanese ship, and all of the household dies at sea. Pi, however, escapes this fate and finds himself on a lifeboat with a few of the animals. He is with a Bengal tiger, an orangutan, a hyena and a zebra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some time, the animals all harm each other, and the tiger and Pi are the only ones left. The tiger is known as Richard Parker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pi ends up surviving the shipwreck and the tiger becomes completely domesticated. When they reach land, Richard Parker disappears into the jungle, and Pi is taken to hospital. They arrive on the Mexican Coast after 227 days at sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
