‘Life of Pi’
Breathtaking CGI special effects weren’t enough when it came to watering down the more graphic scenes featured in the book version of “Life of Pi.” Trapped on a boat with a tiger, orangutan, hyena, and zebra, Pi witnesses the true meaning of “the circle of life.” First the hyena gets knee-deep in the zebra’s insides as it devours the poor thing alive before ripping the orangutan’s head clean off. At one point, Pi is forced to eat the orangutan’s “droppings” as a means of survival.
