This scene is very dark. I never realized it after I watched the movie the 2nd time. The island represents his mother's corpse. He subjected to cannibalism due to extreme hunger. The lotus in the forest is a recollection from Anandi, the lover he left in India, in which he asks her what does the unusual hand sign mean when she danced in the class. Everything makes sense, it all came together. The screenplay, story and structure of this movie is really ambiguous yet amazing.

[@paperroman8345]

The whole incident didn't happen on earth . It was another dimension created by Lord Vishnu himself ! Where the law of Nature science as we know it doesn't apply . hence all the mystical occurings. The first ever fish he caught when he almost starved to death was Lord Vishnu in the form of' Matsya' an avatar of Lord Vishnu which was pulsating in so many colours when caught especially blue ! The glowing ocean with projections of Pi's life , the calm ocean , the angry ocean all nothing but the Lord's leela or projections , showing we are creations of his cosmic imagination . ALSO the carnivorous island was the body of the lord . In hindu mythology Lord Vishnu floats in an infinite ocean which is the universe itself !

This island reminds me of addiction. Empty promises. A false comfort gained, and then lost. And afterward, we are left with less in reality than we had before. That cycle of immediate happiness, filling a void, a hazardous, toxic happiness that is in reality, a beautiful lie. Eventually dissolving us if we get comfortable within it's grasp and don't leave it behind, to journey on in search for genuine happiness. I always think of addiction when I see this scene.

The Shuryansh Amazing. Thank you for the explanation

[@yungchangsta]

I think it is Pi’s dead mother

[@sentilopis]

I think the most persuasive euphemism here, is that he was so hungry at that point in time, he resorted to cannibalizing the rotting corpses(the island resembles a person lying down). The flesh would sate his hunger(filled by day), but since it was rancid and spoiled, lead to diarrhea(taken at night). The tooth found also gives a hint to this. Another slightly different explanation, would be that the night and day difference was indicating the psychological damage of cannibalism, in which the sustenance during the day was exchanged for the tortuous dreams during night.

The island represented his mother's corpse (remember the tiger ate the orangutan and note the island had the shape of a woman). Meerkats, which never resisted and slept with him, were maggots. delicious roots where human muscle fiber. The pond with acids was his stomach. When he saw cook's teeth in this mother's corpse (he mentioned twice that the cook was resourceful so he must have consumed part of the body, and lotus is the representation of his mother shown by her first appearance in the movie), he shocked and realized he had gone too far. So he left (tying the string on the roots means to say goodbye, but it was too dark, so he always forgot goodbye).

[@luciacano3686]

@@anittamantees3776 you are allowed to interpret the movie however you want but if you are looking how the animal story connects to the version with people I think I can explain. So basically the tiger is suppose to be a symbol for pi survival instinct or ego, the chimpanzee is his mother, the zebra a wounded Chinese sailor, and the hyena a French cook. The sailor was wounded and had a broken leg so the cook convinced them to amputate his leg so it wouldn’t rot. Turns out he actually did it to use the leg as bait which upsets pi’s mom. After the soldier dies the cook guts him and uses it for bait eating some of the meat. This upsets the mom and they get into a fight after pi let’s go of a turtle they caught. The cook kills pi’s mom leading to pi killing the cook. After killing him he carbs out his heart and liver and eats them along with some flesh. The island can be a symbolic representation of him turning to cannibalism to survive. Some people believe t the animals on the island (I forgot what they are called) are maggots in the flesh and him eating the root of a tree is him sucking on the inside of the bone. Hope it helped!

[@test42356y]

The island is a representation of Pi...he is carnivorous at this point in the "believable" story and that is why he "can't stay there long".

The island is like his dead mother, Pi has to eat his mother because the mean cook murdered her, Pi then killed the cook. This was referenced by: The hyena (cook) kills the zebra (sailor), the hyena kills the orangutan (Pi’s mother), and Richard Parker is Pi, which kills the cook

Guys. You're looking into it too much. Yes the film has so much symbolisms but him on the island is not necessarily it. He narrates it in the book as an "experience", whether he's hallucinating by then or actually in a mystical albeit physical phenomenon, we don't know, but what we're sure is that the author is not allegorizing symbolism. It's his actual experience.

I always thought this Island was real since there are a lot of things we don’t know in ocean.

But I believe there are still many islands that are not on the map.

Whether it be real or not, this serves a good lesson of complacency, which in term gives comfort and sustenance, and in turn escaping one’s reality for another until death parts. This can be taught with any person in life, so we must be aware of our comforts that take away that survival instinct and growth, like a brain being devoured of such things because “there is no need”.

I want to share my thoughts on the island I think the island represents the cook when Pi killed him. The algae is the cooks flesh. The ponds of fresh water are the cooks intestines and blood. The trees are the cooks bones. The meerkats are maggots that came by the hundred. And when Pi found the tooth in the fruit, it was really Pi realizing that he ate almost all of the cook till he was left with his teeth. When Pi found out that the island kills at night, is really when Pi started having terrible dreams about what he did that it started effecting his mental and physical state. When Pi left the island was when Pi moved the cooks remains of the boat. Those are my thoughts anyway

[@ManojKumar-mf5sv]

I am not sure about the book, but the actual meaning, the story gors with god. When he gaves up the god appears im the form of island. The sleep man shape is a represenation of lord vishnu.

He had to cope with such a horrific moment by creating an elaborate story to ease the pain of the trauma.

The whole incident didn't happen on earth . It was another dimension created by Lord Vishnu himself ! Where the law of Nature science as we know it doesn't apply . hence all the mystical occurings. The first ever fish he caught when he almost starved to death was Lord Vishnu in the form of' Matsya' an avatar of Lord Vishnu which was pulsating in so many colours when caught especially blue ! The glowing ocean with projections of Pi's life , the calm ocean , the angry ocean all nothing but the Lord's leela or projections , showing we are creations of his cosmic imagination . ALSO the carnivorous island was the body of the lord . In hindu mythology Lord Vishnu floats in an infinite ocean which is the universe itself ! Richard Parker was an unlikely companion who kept Pi's will to survive alive !

Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta - The Divine Song (LORD KRISHNA) Chapter 8, Verse 18 When Brahma's day is manifest, this multitude of living entities comes into being, and at the arrival of Brahma's night they are all annihilated. The same thing shown in Life of Pi at that island and the island shape was of a human. Brahma precisely. Such beautiful creation. Pure magic and yet so calculative and logical. But people tend to live a life of complete ignorance. It can only be completed by love. Love could be for anything. But as Krishna says based on, Religious Principles. Here religious means the desired/the correct way. Religion alone here would be misguiding, it says religious principles. It means it should be done in the best way and for good reasons and for welfare of all. And best way includes all the aspect to human life. Because our Earth is an example of it. It gives us everything, but we in desire to take out each and everything out of it, we have ruined so many things along the way. We all our God, but individually nobody is God.

[@humananonymous7927]

I’m sorry but that is The most stupid logic I’ve ever seen in my life . Read the Bible to know the truth . We are all not our own god , for we are simply a mere human full of mistakes and sin . But then yeh lord (our one an only god ) is here he saved us , open your eyes now to the truth . Of the son , father and Holy Spirit , and don’t give in to these lies of man and slither of snake . Understand that you are a servent if our lord god . A child if you will . Soon you will see it to be true .

[@ianviviTV]

If you stay and rely on a toxic environment or a toxic situation for too long you will eventually die. The island was nice during the day but at night it became toxic. To think, how many hours and days and weeks will I stay in this place that gives me good during the day but takes it all at night? I realized it wasn't worth it and that I would eventually die sooner or later. So I decided to leave the island hoping to get back to the real world.

[@GURJITSINGH-by6bd]

You are almost the only person who has gotten the gist...the events on island don't represent anything canibilistic. Rather it represents our dependence on safe areas in our life ,a poor job or relationship or person, which if it sustains us during the day takes all away at night by not letting us face the vagaries of world ocean on the basis of our own instinct and progress spiritually. So even safety of mother's love keeps us dependent on her corpse instead of go out to ocean and catch fish on our own.

[@arunstephen1890]

Those who claim it's lord Vishnu or Buddha - you prefer the story with animals. Those who are saying it was his mother - you understand what is truth and mostly acknowledge that sometimes we choose fiction over truth and hence understand why people believe in religion.

[@grainherstal1912]

It's a mass of plants and trees that forms a floating island that produces acidic substances to reduce the ph of the water and lure the fishes into those pools with its bioluminescence thus enabling the island to digest any form of animals to sustain itself thanks to million years of evolution

In Vaishnavism tradition, Vishnu is the supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. ... He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism.Vishnu is believed to sleep in a cosmic ocean of milk, the bed he sleeps on being his serpent Anantha-Sesha. ...

Lord Vishnu symbolism is true because lotus is related lord vishnu. Because before narrating the story Pi said that You will believe in GOD after story.

[@natureasmr2039]

the island looking like a man is a reference to lord Vishnu . The supreme god in Hinduism. One that has no beginning and no end.i think it shows the mythological reference in which in one day of lord Vishnu the universe is created and again when night occurs according to his time period the universe gets erased from existence .all the gods and human beings and every trace of life dies. Then in morning Vishnu wakes up and recreate the universe . And this process keeps on going and there is no end to it.

[@nickhabig1222]

RIP lost him too soon 😭🙏🏽

[@riri3371]

I have paused and read the report made by the Japanese. It seemed like he was drifting at sea for almost 8 months. The scene from the island seems like after he lost consciousness in the boat, his hunger got the best of him, and tried to eat the corpse. In the movie, the tiger only ate the meerkats, and according to other interpretations, he is the tiger, the corpse is the island, and the meerkats are maggots. The tiger only ate the meerkats, so he didnt ate the corpse only the maggots. Then the slept with the maggots and noticed a tooth. That's when he realized that if he stayed, he will die alone and forgotten. So with the last of his strength he sail again. Luckily he found a shore and was saved. The scene where the tiger looks at the jungle and didn't looked back at him to say goodbye is for him to not look back to his past and move forward to his new home. His resentment towards the tiger is his regrets that he himself didn't even got the chance to say goodbye to his family.

I always thought that the meaning of the island was something related to addiction.

[@peanut9194]

How did the boat not disintegrate when it was clearly within the acid water? Maybe because the acid only breaks down flesh and not metal and Wood? I dont know but Thats just My opinion. Edit: I never noticed the body laying down at 0:58 Until now. It is kind of disturbing because you Can only interpret it in a negative way Such as cannabilism or nightmares

[@amit6844]

At 0:58 that human shaped island is resembling LORD VISHNU lying on ocean. That tooth was of a human whom island would've consumed earlier...what pi is telling to the writer was the truth...not that he ate his mother😅

[@StudlyHunk]

Some says that the mouse is his girlfriend. At one point the guy says he didn't remember or forgot to say goodbye to his girlfriend, impliyng he knew his girlfriend sneaked on board the ship. Then in a scene he threw the mouse to the tiger, which means he ate his girlfriend, hence he found the tooth inside a flower bulb that looks like a lotus flower, his girlfriend favourite flower. He also tie the red bracelet his girlfriend give him onto a tree branch at the island. But the island also maybe is his mother which he also ate, the meerkat is the maggot in his mother corpse, it has gone rotten so he have no choice to dump his mother overboard, hence the scene of him leaving the island.

[@jamiec6097]

This iland reminds me of when I was on a vegan diet and became depressed. Stuck alone on a island, asid in my stomach, skinny, hungry, and my friends and family turned to in to hungry animals. I ate my own body. This movie is about the feeling of starvation.

my interpretation of the island it is nothing but things in this material world how much beautiful or pleasing it my look to you today but eventually it will drain you tomorrow so instead of running behind pleasures and luxury just enjoy how much you can handle and reset leave it and move on in your life
