    Today’s Christmas movie for me is one of my favorite movies (and novels) of ALL TIME, Life of Pi. 😃 Last night, it was Castaway (not a fav, but one I enjoy). Yeah, so…it’s my first Christmas EVER alone (daughter is in the UK + after too much stress and travel, no trip to Illinois this year).

    Books to film 📚=🎞️ Life of Pi (2001) by Yann Martel was adapted to film (2012) by Ang Lee. The film tells the story using visual cues rather than the detailed philosophical considerations of the book. A lean into magical visuals differs from the more contemplative novel. 🚣🌊🐅 #filmsky #booksky

    Tony Revolori, who was the breakout star of Grand Budapest Hotel, has Guatemalan ancestry. He is not Indian. But I’m watching him in the Hindi movie Umrika playing an Indian boy alongside Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi). Not just Hindi, but the kind of rural dialect bhojpuri. Such a random role for him!

Flow: The cute animals totally didn't give me anxiety whenever they were in peril. Gorgeous and very charming film. Life of Pi without Pi.

    Do spaceships count? 🤔 If so, I refuse to decide between my babies. If not, I would have to think about it. The Life of Pi was a decent book, but I haven't seen the movie. I guess it's Muppet Treasure Island. While not ENTIRELY on a ship, it's the Muppets. They get a pass on everything.

    Magical realism, to me, allows the inner workings of the psyche to be revealed via absurd plot points that are not necessarily available to other characters in the story. Life of Pi is my favourite example. I hate the movie just because the tiger was actual
