Life Of Pi

Pretty famous movie by now, huh?
Life of Pi has a lot of meaning. Might seem boring. Might seem cool.
But I think Life of Pi is really- Life of Us.
You might not understand this as well as you would if you read the book.
Life of Pi shows the innerself of people. (Is innerself a word?)
The selfishness of people that shows that people would do anything to survive; including killing and eating other people.
In the movie and book, the real story is not the one with animals, its with people. The mom is the orangutan, the hyena is the butcher/cook, the tiger is Pi, and the zebra is the sailor.
When you watched the ending, where Pi cries because Richard Parker, the tiger, just walks away after all they've been through together, you might think, "What in the world?"
But this shows that once you're back, the innerself just disappears, its hidden and carefully stored somewhere safe so you can use it again when you need it.
After all Pi's been through, it just so abruptly ends.
THIS is my theory, you may have your own, but this is how I interpreted this movie/book.
Tell me how you thought of the movie/book in the comments below this post.
Please.
I love opinions!
(also tell me if innerself is actually a word.)
