I watch tons of movies because I'm a bit of a cineaste. And I can honestly say Life of Pi is one of the best films I've ever seen. A masterful piece of work.

a very deeply symbolic movie of a boy struggling with his faith

What I enjoy most about this film was the complexity of the story the encouragement it gives to viewers to learn, and the artistic beauty of it. The timid boy and Richard Parker were the same and throughout the film you see this interaction between what appears to be two characters (in the lifeboat). However, it seems that Richard Parker is actually the alter ego, the raw, untamed nature of adulthood and/or change that the boy must face (like we all must), which is frightening and yet an important part of human development

there were a lot of beautiful visuals in this film but Richard Parker has to be the best digital creation every brought to film.

there is something peaceful about this guy. he is like a monk.

I just finished watching this film again on Netflix. This is my second time watching this movie and I must say this is truly a masterpiece. He cinematography and the meaning behind the story is remarkable.

He should have directed The Las Airbender.

everyone should see this movie

I friggin love the little Indian boys voice

ang lee please direct the alchemist PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I didn't know that he's actually really good at speaking English and I'm so proud of him! One of the best director!

He is a true movie maker. An example to Humankind and Filmmakers - The world !!! Great work. Ang.

Very nice interview. I like when he said he couldn't watch it like a movie; he had too many flashbacks of the making of it, that it wasn't a movie, it was his life. That's interesting to know. He also handled well with the complex and personal question thrown at him about whether he believed in God. He strikes me as an interesting man to know, someone with depth.

"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation. (1.7.21)" Pi's explanation of agnostics, and how even if we don't believe in a god, believe in SOMETHING.

Love how Ang Lee describes his personal relationship to making a film.

This movie was easily one of the best movie I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Ang is one the best directors ever in the history of cinematography.

I always pondered the thought of not being able to enjoy something because you created it. people being "oh wow, this book is amazing" and you the author imagining how it must make them feel as you yourself can't feel anything from it because you wrote it.

Mr. Lee is a gem and his films sparkle.

The cinematography was stunning. I love the scene of Pis dad swimming, shot from below with the sky as background.

I agree. I saw this film (literally) 13 weekends in a row and it is faultless. First director to really master 3D and CGI. It wasn't gimmicky, Ang Lee used it to make his story. And yeah, I read the book first.

When Ang Lee said he was agnostic, i felt that.

if art is what ever makes you think, then this is pure art.

Full of love and passion. He is very inspirational :D

Ang Lee, you are the best!

Ang Lee is the GOAT and this is the best movie I ever watched made me look at life so much different than I ever have

Ang Lee is a living legend

I enjoyed this pic...and the inteerview

great interview and some very good questions n answers, I can especially relate to the ending as a writer myself, making the content then looking at the content you made is far different then looking at the content of someone else. It is is impossible for you to look at it the same way you look at the content of others. For when you look at your own content you remember the experience, the struggles, the joys and the intentions you had for it. Plus you already know each scene since u wrote it so that is abit of a spoiler : P

Animals surely do have souls. That's why they're called animals. Anima is Italian for soul. And that comes from Latin of course

Dear mr ang lee; In crouching tiger we hear much of chow yung phats previous exploits that lead him to where he is currently in the film. Would you plz make a prequel movie that shows his characters life that lead up to the crouching tiger film

" Making movies is my life" - Couldnt have said it any better

Love this film

What struck me about this movie is the beauty of Life. If you look around the world at all the birds, animals, fish, insects & even fluorescent algae that glows in the ocean, it's hard not to believe that "a creator" had a hand in all of it. That's why I chose to believe the 1st story...

Masterpiece 💫

Wow, I knew he is smart; but he comes across as brilliant in this interview.

I frickin love this movie

I like movies ....lv it......

aswome movie if you didn't like it you didn't read the book and approach this movie in deep thought

Ang lee ♥♥♥♥

Patel: PA-TAIL (say with Indian accent)

BEST MOVIE EVER SEEN

Missing you Irrfan khan 😔💓

loved this moive

7:22 David Gilmour said the same thing about listening to Dark Side of the Moon

I can relate to it.

i got the dvd!!!!

The film's title is spelt wrongly in this video's title

Yes, that's what I meant. I'm happy that you found it so funny :-). Wow!!

how is the movie related to cultural relativism?

i hope i can do a good job as this when i get into the business

I literally just finished watching the movie today. My most prominent question every time is what ever happened to Richard the tiger

I like Richard Parker and what he represents.

And Chris Nolan ;)

gooodddddd

hulk is so underrated

The movie was pretty good, but those aspect ratio changes definitely felt too jarring for me, especially when the fish passes over the black on the frame (I thought the projectionist had done a dodgy job).

Мы с ребенком почти весь фильм плакали.Это не фильм,а сплошные слезы.Люди издеваются над животными за ради фильма.Бедный тигр изрядно похудел к концу фильма.Зачем же так издеваться над животными.Козлы!

I wish I could understand this interviewer's very first qyestion.

major film spoilers below! .. so which story was true.. the one with the tiger/animals.. or the other story with the cook and the sailor?

Ang Lee was not the Cinematographer

3D... Yup, pretty much we threw it away

ROFL!!! I think you meant History of Cinema. Cinematography is the movement of the shooting of the Camera.

no it's not?!

I just wanna know why the family speaks perfect English

No one can really fully understand this movie

life of pi was plagiarized from Brazilian book called Max e os felinos.

the life of my pie wasn't that long since i ate it as soon as it was cooked. .. sorry about that.

....have you seen Hulk and Taking Woodstock? He's done some shitty movies...

`Damn Girl, wished I could of watched the best movie you ever seen with you ;-)

Life of PIE? Seriously, Grauniad?

great movie except for the god crap

🔢🔢🔢. 🪷💖
