Based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, Life of Pi tells the story of Pi(Suraj Sharma), a young man who gets stranded(搁浅)at sea with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker after the ship carrying Pi’s family and his father’s zoo from India to Canada sinks.

　　On the surface, the film is about Pi’s tale of survival—yet Life of Pi holds so much more within its two-hour running time.

　　“Visually, Life of Pi, which mixes real tigers with computer-generated effects almost seamlessly(无缝地), is like nothing seen on screen in some time, ” movie critic Justin Chang wrote in his review for Variety magazine. “And the 3D in particular is the best since perhaps Avatar. ”

　　Lee told the New York Film Festival audience following the screening that Life of Pi was exceedingly(非常)hard to make. Due to weather conditions and the difficulty of controlling animals, he said, only one-eighth of his planned shots were actually filmed.

　　Despite arduous(费力的)conditions, Lee was able to push an excellent lead performance from Sharma, a newcomer who originally accompanied his brother to the audition(试镜)before landing the role of Pi himself.

　　“By the end of it, I didn’t feel like I was acting anymore, ” Sharma recently told Hollywood Reporter. “I was an instrument, of sorts, and Lee pulled the emotion through me. It just went in and came out. ”
