Life of Pi Alternate Ending 

I like the idea that the book really leaves people to wonder which story is actually the real one. The human one may be more possible, but it doesn’t make it the exact answer, it could easily be the animal story instead

It's nicely edited, but it corrupts the message of the story. The point is that it is possible that either of Pi Patel's stories might be true. In that situation we the audience choose which story we would rather believe. You, like most of the rest of us, choose the story about the tiger because it is more beautiful and less horrifying than the alternate story. This runs parallel to the idea of God. The more beautiful story is that there is an almighty being out there who knows us to the marrow, loves us anyway, and forgives us for everything we've ever done wrong. However, there is no direct way to prove His existence. You have to take it on faith. Providing proof of Richard Parker is like providing proof of God. Since God's existence cannot be proven, inserting proof of Richard Parker into this movie ruins the essential allegory on which Life of Pi is based, and renders the story completely pointless.

In the end its all about letting go but what hurts the most is not taking time to say a goodbye....damn!! Rip Irfan khan...one of the India's most versatile actors ever.

The scene where the tiger vanished into the jungle is an allusion to moving forward aside from the past

Did he said he has a cat in his family? I wonder if he named his cat after the tiger

Rest in peace Irfan sir!!!.... It's a sad day today🖤🖤🖤🖤 we lost of the greatest actor in Bollywood as well as in Hollywood

I think that Richard parker when he stopped and looked into the jungle he was having a Flashback of him and pi, hence why at when the movie shows pi smiling and then Richard parker i think he was having a Flashback of the good memories before disapperaring :(

the scene 1:30 really gets me everytime. i love movies that make me feel that way.

The way he mentions the cat before the kids.....Richard Parker lives on through his cat, and is a member of the family.

I wish the story or the movie would do an alternate view point of Richard Parkers mind and what he was thinking on what was going on in that ship.

This is a better ending for me. Chills.

It’s a shame the best and most critical line of the entire movie got cut in this clip. Pi asked, “Which story do you prefer?” He didn’t ask, “Which story do you believe?” Pi understands God at such a deep level and revealed it to the writer at that moment. Stellar screen writing.

1:31 The fact that this scene is made to expose that Richard Parker was, indeed, Pi all along, is acceptable. But, to think that this scene means that Richard Parker was real and he was reminding Pi to say goodbye, it tears me apart. 💔

To me, the story with the Tiger is not beautiful because it's true, but because it's not true. Pi was able to let go of all the hurt that came from watching his family die and losing his innocence. The beauty of the story he tells matches the peace he feels. That's what's amazing about this story. He experienced some of the worst pain a person can feel. But he didn't become cynical, he found peace and beauty anyway.

this movie really touched me like not many movies do! incredible film by Ang Lee.

@1:30 it always made me cry..still noe am crying cuz Richard parker actually said his goodbye 😩😭😭😭and he thanked him and loved a lot tooo 😍😭😭😭😭

Rest in peace irfaan sir. Your memories will always be cherished

I liked the newspaper clipping.

Like the fact he named his son after his brother ❤️

RIP Irrfan sir..U will deeply be missed..This movie at the end brings tears in my eyes adding to the fact that u are no more with us. You were always my favourite.May ur soul rest in peace.

Rest in Peace Irfan Bhai. We will miss you.

Ah I wish we had this in the ending, just so we can see Richard Parker one last time. Love the ending we got though.

Ya when I saw the movie it left with tears

RIP Irfaan Sir.... 😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

He name his son Ravi and he said he have a cat...This is maybe How Pi shows his love to the tiger

RIP 😭🐯 Irrfan Khan Always Remember as Bollywood Legend and Hollywood Legendary

such a deep movie...

I think this ending is better bc of 3 reasons: it shows that the tiger is ok and still alive, Pi's story ends even happier and also on a better note, and this ending retouches on Pi and Richard Parker's unlikely friendship, shiwing thzt maybe, the tiger didnt leave him bc he wasn't his friend, or forever, bc maybe the island was the tiger's gome, and although goodbyes are hard, maybe it was meant to be that way, and who knows? Maybe Richard Parker has a family of his own, too. Although they grew up, friendhip will last gorever, goodbye or not, because its only "see you later." Goodbyes shouldn't be forever.

Rest In Peace: Irrfan Khan 😌 Thank You 🙏🏼

I know for sure there was something more than just his reflection staring back at him. And I cryed when the tiger just disappeared into the jungle at the very end with that music.

Nicely done

I wish they had put this in the story. Of course I understand the point being made about God. But to me the tiger is real and I believe the boy's story. Why would he make up such a wild story? How, even, could he, unless he's a hell of a writer ? No, the first story he told is the truth. It's perfectly plausible - the ship was full of animals and, like the boy, some of them survived . I have no doubt of its veracity . I'm also in love with that beautiful tiger. He struck me from the first as a big kitty cat .

Thank you, Irrfan Khan, Thank you Richard Parker, see you forever❤❤🥺🥺✨✨

Nice touch.... I like this....God Bless you Mr. Roger Packer And you also Cameron Metrejean

There is no doubt that this is one of the best movies i have ever seen. Although pi lost his family and survived 227 days at sea with a tiger, he became very fond of richard parker although he never saw him as his friend. I love this movie very much it is highly recommended and It's based on real events 🫶🏻❤️

R.I.P Irrfran Khan. Thank you for this beautiful movie.

I laughed so hard at this...it's like you desperately want to believe Richard Parker is real, which would defeat the entire purpose of the story.

I have watched this Movie many Times and i Just noticed he Named his Son Ravi. Like his Brother! 🥲

bye richard parker, I miss you and I always never forget this movie, I promise to god that someday I will be a good muslim person like pi patel (as I could remember, althrough pi had chooses three religon) , I was crying back then 'cause this movie was really.... Amazing and touched my heart, I am a muslim person and I'II never forget this life of pi movie, goodbye, this movie is always be one my favorite and even until now.... I still couldn't forget it, woah... T-T

I cried :'(

This is really good! What was actually behind the newspaper clipping?

The Flute Music is Heart Touching.

This story made me believe in God.

rip this amazing actor

ah ah!!! so it's real. Richard Parker is real!

I know im years late but this is beautiful in its own way too. In his own way Richard Parker did say goodbye to Pi. Mind you he is a Tiger, they have stomachs for brains. He has a memory/vision of Pi right before he leaps in the jungle. He’s starving and Pi would be helpless to stop him from eating him. If RP looked back at Pi and saw how vulnerable he would have eaten him. He fought that urge and went for a different source, out of love one might say.

that flute music ,just feel it

The editing looks like it is real!

I looked carefully to see maybe the tiger actually looked back hidden from the bushes but couldn't spot anything...

I like this clip but I cannot see the movie 😢😣😣😣

My eyes become In tears when a news paper cutting shows a loins picture and a emotional sound .. because I have pets when I was my in bad phase in my lyf so I just hug my pet and cry they never judge me. Ki I m right or wrong they just feel my tears and sit besides me .. They were no more now .. This vidio make me remaind that pure realtion 😭

tengo que leer el libro!! necesito saber qué fue lo que realmente sucedió!!!!

Most people: the tiger story is to cover up reality. Or the darker story is made up to satisfy the Japanese guys. Me: Did anyone tried looking for the tiger. It seem to have gone into an area where people are living. What if it attacked the people? oh god.

This is ending gave me hope

RIP legend

Where is Tobey?

RIP legend....😢😢

Wish that Pi like went on an expedition to the island so he could prove that Richard parker was a real thing. Or at least him reunited with the tiger.

My cute cat Richard was alive ♥

Hehehe, clever.

Thank you....so much...for this. 🙏

Masterpiece of a movie and although I prefer the Tiger story and want that to be the true story as this ending suggests, there's something very Human about the ending they went with and the touch of Mystery and dread of the other story. Also just to point this out, there is one mistake in the entire movie and that's when the tiger eats the goat. Idk if they did it on purpose to maybe foreshadow and represent Pi's loose grip of reality after coming off of that boat. I'm sure everyone noticed that the goat was on the other side of the bars from the tiger yet somehow the tiger pulls the entire goat through them. It would be interesting to know whether that was intentional or not.

Why do this break my heart so badly

It’s an amazing story about life, how much we should cherish it.

00:36 Well, That's upto you

this ending is better than the ending which in the movie ... i loved it

When I originally watched this movie, I took it as the tiger was a part of him, his instinct to survive at all costs. And he had to do things that he didn't feel were human but rather animal to survive, like kill or be killed sort of thing. I am remembering the portion in the beginning about the chef, if I remember it correctly and his mother. He had to protect and do what he had to do. Idk...ive only seen it once and it was ages ago. I would like to watch it fully again at the age I am now to see what I think it means now.

The actual one is open-ended so it's the ONE.

Richard Parker. 😭😭😭

* Alternate Extended Ending

In this end the Richard Parker story was to be true.

Is Pi's son's name Ravi or Nikhil? And what is his daughter's name?

I want tht news paper... please please

I like that he says he has a cat.

“Do you know Pi?” “Yes: 3,1415…” “No, not that Pi…”

What's say...? Sublime Emocionant...The End God Bey: 1:29 - 1:49: Especial part....

Richard Parker was real. People can debate all they want about the philosophical connections but the real ones are irrefutable. - His father owns a Zoo - Richard Parker isn't a codename, nor is it religious at all. - Banana's DO float in water - The Japanese insurance claim agents acknowledge and use Pi's story about the tiger in the official report - No dead bodies were found in the raft when he was rescued - Mamahji referred the writer to Pi Patel because of the story about being shipwrecked with Richard Parker. Insinuating that he knew who the tiger was but didn't tell the writer that it wasn't a man because the identity of the tiger and the name are one in the same. - Tigers are excellent swimmers Once you add up all the facts is quite obvious the Richard Parker existed and was with Pi Patel while being stranded. Just because he's the only one who can confirm Richard Parker was with him the whole time doesn't mean he wasn't there, to insinuate that nothing exists just because you can't see it is stupid.

The guy just passed today ..sad

Oh i get it. When he said this will make you believe in God, he meant that people will believe the Tiger over the cannibal story....

I like that ending better.

I like this ending more ♥️💫

This movie is Ang Lee's gift to the world, however it ends.

the ending and the movie reaching the ending was so sad, i dont cry and it had me in tears.

fk ,back then for 5 years ,i dnt know what actual shit end of the story ! but i remmbr are quotes ' dont trust wht u see trust yr spiritual journey believe ,even the shit look like nutella ' ,when u eat in *mamai . And now after wtching this clip, the shit of newspapers tell the true but irfan tell me the truth story. #godinhimself -AQpelat

I love the music that starts at 1:15!

RIP Kahn

RIP you beautiful beautiful soul, one of the greatest indian actors ever, Irfan Khan

The best ending

RIP Irfan Khan. This is a beautiful, beautiful movie about the bond between an animal and a human. I will watch it with my plush (real-to-me) dog Sanskrit. I will probably end up watching it with my (future) real dog…

Did he marry his teenaged sweetheart? The happiest guys I kn are the ones who do.

So, his story doesn't happy ending...No .RIP.

Much better

Remember Im crying at the studio. 1:30 😭

Who came here After Ifrhan Khan Passed away Today He May Rest in peace 🙏🏻
