The Life of Pi is based on a book of the same name by Yann Martel. It’s about an (east) Indian boy who survives over 200 days on the ocean after a shipwreck with his only “companion” being a wild tiger. The physical journey Pi takes is mirrored by his spiritual journey. I remember really loving this book when I read it years ago. The trailer looks awesomely epic, and the music really does its job of manipulating my emotions by building to a huge climax then softening into magical sounds.
From a life of surviving alone to a life ended with dying alone. If your biggest fear is dying alone I wouldn’t even watch this trailer. Dreams of a Life is a documentary that tries to reconstruct a young woman’s life after her skeleton is found (by a repo man) in her apartment three years after she died. Even her television was still on. I am fascinated, horrified, and depressed by this exposition, but mostly fascinated.
