7、amily is never seen againLife of piThis is a hazardous situation for the boy,because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize the tiger(fancifully named Richard Parker).A crucial early scene at the zoo shows that wild animals are indeed wild and indeed animals,and it serves as a caution for ch
