Life of Pi is a film that explores the concept of faith. As an old man, Pi tells the fascinating story of his life. However he tells two stories; One story involves animals and other fantastical events and the other one involves humans and is rather gruesome. Pi admits to his audience that neither story can be proven so he asks them which story they prefer. They decide that they prefer the story with the animals, and Pi responds by saying “and so it goes with God.” Pi is suggesting that a life with God is preferable. If the meaning of our existence cannot be explained, isn’t it better to have faith in a story that makes life more beautiful? Having faith in a religion can enhance an individual’s life, and this is what Pi teaches us through this film.
