Yes I watched the whole movie.

Then saying you misunderstood the ending is an understatement.

Explain it please

In the movie's final scene, with the Japanese maritime officers, he tells them that he made up that story and the REAL story is that a sailor, the cook and his mom were on the raft with him (the Zebra, the Hyena and the Orangutang)....he made up the "fantasy" story because it was "a better story" than the horrific truth (which involved the cook killing and eating his mother and then him killing and eating the cook - the Tiger = Pi/Pi's "darkness")

There is much more to the film and the ending as it relates to the concept of faith...but that's the gist of it. Hope that helped.

[HacksawJimThuggin]

for those of you who have seen this movie...

Spoiler

which version of the story do you believe actually occurred?


also, assuming the 2nd story is true, what does the island with the ferret looking animals represent?




another thing I noticed is that in story 1, Pi tosses the rat to the lion... but when he's telling story 2 to the investigators, he says the cook (the hyena) ate the rat... shouldn't the hyena have ate the rat in story 1, then?

i think the island represents cannibalism. the meerkats were like maggots running around

I thought about that too, but I don't remember Pi saying anything about him eating the cook when he was talking to the investigators. Also, wouldn't Richard Parker theoretically be by his side while he was on the island if it indeed represented cannibalism, considering Richard Parker supposedly represented Pi's "internal, animalistic dark side"?? It seemed as if Richard Parker was kinda doing his own thing on the island, even went to the boat by himself at night time.


Also curious as to what the flying fishes represented, if anyone has an idea.
