This is the kind of movie you watch for the first time and say: I really need to watch that again
And I can’t wait to see it again. I was lucky enough to see this in the theater in 3D, which I generally can’t stand, but this is by far the best use of the technology ever in any film. Ang Lee deserved the Oscar he recieved for best director. I knew it wouldn’t win best picture — it’s not that kind of movie that typically does — but it is still wonderful. It’s the kind of movie that leaves you questioning, wondering and thinking about a couple days after you see it.
In it’s simplest form, it is a coming-of-age story about a boy who loses his family, but it takes so many beautiful and challenges twists with gorgeous cinemetography and visuals. It is a love story, a story about faith, family, ideals and challengs.
And I never mentioned that 90 percent of it takes places on a tiny boat at sea with a boy and a tiger. If you can make that an incredible film, well, you have some serious directing chops.

i watched it and absolutely loved it! had to go back a few minutes at the end to really get what he meant and it still makes me wonder- what really happened? i wept for the tiger too! how could he just leave us like that!
To me, when a movie leaves you wondering, or gives you the opportunity to create your own ending, that’s the mark of a good filmmaker. Thanks for reading and commenting!
