At the end of the movie [Life of Pi,][1] Pi tells us two stories. One with the tiger (unrealistic) and one without the tiger (realistic).

I believe that he was metaphorically referring himself as the tiger who enters the forest (world) after being rescued.

Is my thinking correct? can you explain me the ending?

At the end did Irfan Khan (older Pi/narrator) say that "even God chose the first story"? Does it mean that the first story was indeed real?
