April 10: Film Society Discussion

Now Showing

Watch and Discuss 

Life of Pi
At our next Film Society meeting, which will be held on April 10,  we will be discussing Ang Lee's Life of Pi, which took home 4 Oscars at the 2013 Academy Awards, including the Best Director Oscar. Based on the best selling novel, the film tells the story of Pi, who was shipwrecked after a storm and survived in a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a male Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.

This film is rated PG for emotional thematic content and scary action sequences.


In an attempt to expand our horizons, the Film Society will begin to engage in discussions about the themes of the movies we watch.  Our viewing enjoyment can be enhanced by thinking more deeply about the movies we watch and beginning our discussions online with everyone who wants to participate in the discussion with us. Please join us as we enjoy the film on April 10 and engage in thoughtful discussion with us about it here.

Questions for Discussion
Please leave your comments regarding these questions and any thoughts about the movie you'd like to discuss or share in the Comment Box below.

1.  Pi is a very religious person.  What are some of the themes involving religion and belief in God that are brought out in the film?
2.  The novel was about imagination and the movie is very imaginative.  Do you think the stories Pi tells are true of fictitious?  Are there clues in the film that hint at the truth?
3.  Names and identities are also a strong theme running through the movie.  What does this movie say about personal identity?
4.. How do the three themes or religion, imagination, and identity tied together in this story?
