Life of Pi...and What Happened After.

Last night, my friends and I went to see Life of Pi. We've been stoked for this movie to come out because we read the book last year in our AP Language and Composition class, and we all really enjoyed it. Well, I didn't appreciate the ending very much, but the rest of the book was grand. The movie was phenomenal, but we got more than we bargained for.

Let me start at the beginning. My friends picked me up, and we thought our other friend, Sara, was following  us because she had no clue how to get to the theater. We looked for her a little bit, but we just decided to go to the movies. We were late for the previews, but somehow, Sara and the people in her car made it to the theater fine. Whatever. After the movie is done is when the real adventure begins.

We got into our cars, and my friend who was driving was like, "Hey, let's follow Sara!!". Here's the thing about Sara; she has no sense of direction whatsoever. So, she turned onto the freeway, which was in the complete opposite direction of the way we were supposed to be going. We decided it would be best to follow her and stop her; otherwise they'd end up somewhere in North Dakota, and they wouldn't even realize it. So we're on the freeway, and we pass Sara's car. We all wave at her like, "What are you doing?! You're going the wrong way!!!" she waved back, but we found out later she had no clue it was us.

Right now, you're probably thinking, "Why didn't you call them?" We did, but they didn't answer. We tried calling them again after we passed them and, this time, they answered.  We told them to take the next exit off the freeway, and we'd meet up with them later. Thing is, the next exit didn't come up for a long time. But when it did, we finally met up with them. We told Sara, "Just follow us back home, OK?"
About an hour later, everyone ended up home safe and sound.

The movie was really good, but if you go see it, read the book first!! There were parts that would be confusing if you hadn't read the book. So, do yourself a favor and read the book first.
You can read more about it here:
Life of Pi. Pie? Pi. Either way, It's Delicious.

Also, don't end up on the freeway like we did (unless that is the way to your house...).
And, if you  do go see it, you should see it in 3D. It was phenomenal.

Have a fun and fantastic Friday!!!
