  1. Seeing the film early on, my first reaction to it was that in some ways Lee wanted to direct this film precisely because people said making a motion picture out of Yann Martel's novel was frankly impossible. It was the challenge of taking on a project involving a boy, a tiger and the vast and unknowable ocean that drew him in as much as, if not more than, anything else.

    There can be no doubt that Lee met the challenge, and in 3-D no less, magnificently. To make audiences believe that this unbelievable story was in fact unfolding in front of their eyes was a major feat of craftsmanship and skill. Computers can do many wondrous things — they can even frame by frame remove the outside-the-costume microphones that the singers in "Les Misérables" all wore — but to make us believe so fully in the reality of the situation was something extraordinary. That was what academy members saw, and that is what they rewarded.
