Dear Chuck,
My favorite book, Chesterton's "Orthodoxy," holds that life is properly valued when treated as a shipwreck. Pi walks the talk.
I recommend seeing Pi in 3D, an opinion shared by Ebert… who generally despises the medium.
I also recommend a theater with a powerfully luminous projector.
Wynnsong's projector is adequate, but I think Southpoint would be a better choice.
As you may know from the book, Pi is a great story - so well rendered by Ang Lee that there is even an argument to "see the movie before reading the book."
Plus, Lee's techno-humanistic vision is groundbreaking, most remarkably for technology's service of human ends.
When the movie opens, the "narrator" is interviewing Pi after a friend tells of an Indian scholar with a story that will “make him believe in God.”
Pax,
