Warning this is a spoiler for the 2013 movie Life of Pi.
After watching Life of Pi, I'm not sure which one is the true story. The only giveaway was the banana "fact". In the first story, the Orangutan was on a pile of bananas that float. In the end, the Japanese representative said that bananas don't float. If that's true, then the first story (The one about the animals) may be false. He may have just been hallucinating or traumatized as a child.
After researching, bananas do not easily float.. in freshwater. However, almost anything can float in seawater because of its salinity and density affecting the buoyancy (Highschool all over again). Darn, I thought there was a give away, apparently the Japanese wasn't correct in saying that bananas do not float.
Anyway, I think the whole point of the story is faith. Would you believe in impossible things? :>
Btw, movie is worth watching in 3D. I give it /5 stars
