Topic:
‘Life of Pi’ Ending Explained

Source:

http://screenrant.com/life-of-pi-movie-ending-spoilers/all/1/

Questions:
1: In the story, we see PI believe in God with different faith (Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam) at the same time, but his Father told him that he should have only one belief, and his Mother just freed him to experience and choose the one fit for him. If you were his parent, what was your suggestion to PI?

2: At the final question, Japanese officials asked PI what happened to the ship. PI gave the first answer about true animal story to them, but they thought that is crazy and impossible. So, PI made another human version story for them. We can see people usually accept other’s saying while that makes sense to their own thinking (value). If it’s not, we will reject to believe in. If you were the officials, which version would you take? Why?

3: If you were PI, who wished to survive on the ocean around 270 days after the disaster happened, do you think you could overcome with it? Would you prefer to stay with a tiger or not? Why?

4: All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. PI feels sad that his whole family all died by accident, and although the tiger stayed with him for 270 days, in the end it just went away without any emotion. Have you ever felt pity/regret in your life? Please share with us.
PS: We'll have a brief X'mas gift- exchange activity after the discussion. The gift had better cost NT 100 or more. Those who bring the gifts will attend this extra program after the discussion, but you are equally welcome and please feel free to join the discussion if you want to skip this extra gift-exchange activity.

Dear Taichung Happiers:

Christmas gift-exchange can be a tradition of Taichung Happy English Club. Last year, we were pleasantly struck by the gifts and blessings we exchanged; this weekend, Harris will host this activity again after the discussion. We sincerely request your participation to join us to prolong this exquisite tradition.

The gift had better cost NT 100 or more. Those who bring the gifts will attend this extra program after the discussion, but you are equally welcome and please feel free to join the discussion if you want to skip this extra gift-exchange activity.

We are not promoting any films here, yet we can’t over-emphasize the real significance of such a dazzling movie—“Life of Pi”. For this weekend, Harris offers this topic and some questions which he thinks may be “too much”. The answer is No, Harris. When the lessons come to “life”, there is nothing we will claim as “too much”. So, ladies and gentlemen, once again, please come with your heart.

We don’t have great movies every day, and we don’t have charming companions, like Taichung Happiers, every day, neither. So, please come to let yourself shine and let the Christmas spirit ring.
