Movie Night: Life of Pi


Welcome back Algonquin, I hope everyone enjoyed their break! Last night was the February Movie Night featuring Life of Pi. I have wanted to see this movie for a long time I just never had the money or time to see it in theatres. I was also really excited to watch this movie after it snatched the awards for cinematography, director, visual effects, original score, at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
Life of Pi tells an amazing story about a boy on a life boat with a tiger, but beyond that it discusses religion, faith and humanity. I really loved this movie! It was a roller coaster of emotions, I was laughing, crying, and on the edge of my seat the whole time.  It was a beautiful film that makes you think about life.
I’m so happy that I got to see this movie on the big screen and it was free! This is by far one of my favorite free events at Algonquin College. I get to see great movies like Argo (2012 best picture) and Life of Pi for free and the SAO lets the students pick the movie. Polls are run on the Facebook page to decide what movie will be played each month. Remember, movie night is on the last Monday of the month tentatively! I can’t wait to see what the March movie will be.
I had a great time last night and I’m looking forward to my first Poetry Slam tonight in the Observatory at 8pm. See you there!
