First, let's talk about "Life of Pi."
This film is adapted from a best-selling novel by an Earth author.
This novel not only won the Man Booker Prize, but also stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year!
A best-seller indeed.
The film adaptation, from preparation to shooting, took several years.
Even with Blue Star's advanced industry technology, which could significantly shorten this time, it was impossible for this film to be completed and released as quickly as Lin Yuan's previous two films.
Now about the film's achievements...
A top masterpiece nominated for eleven Academy Awards!
Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director for this film.
In addition, the film also took home the Oscars for Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography.
Four words can sum it up:
Horrifyingly great.
