Thank you for your generous support and rewards, this is an affirmation of my recommendation and recognition for me, and it has always been my motivation to persevere, I am really grateful!When I was younger, I watched Life of Pi, and my main focus was on the visual effects of the movie, pursuing that kind of colorful 3D effect;Later, when I was ** again, I began to pay attention to the interweaving of the two stories, as well as the metaphorical story content in the film;And when I look at it again, I realize that it contains people's hopes and desires for beauty, and even when the world has become completely dark, people still have good wishes!"Life of Pi" is a film based on Jan Martel's 2001 film of the same name**, directed by Ang Lee, starring Sura Sharma, Rafi Spoo, Irrfan Khan, etc.
The film was released in Chinese mainland on November 22, 2012, and cost up to 1200 million US dollars, and the domestic box office reached 57.2 billion yuan, even surpassing "Avengers 1" that year, ranking 5th in the Chinese movie box office list;At the same time, the global box office is as high as 6$0.9 billion, ranking 11th in the global box office charts. In addition to its box office success, the film was also a huge success during the awards season, winning four out of 11 nominations at the 85th Academy Awards, and Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director again. In terms of word-of-mouth, the film has received a super high rating of 9 from 1.37 million people on Douban1. Ranked 45th in Douban TOP 250;On IMDib, there are also 6570,000 people gave 7A high score of 9, but unfortunately it did not make it into the IMDb TOP 250.
In terms of personal perception, the film hides a terrifying, violent, bloody, and distorted story of human nature behind the magical and gorgeous story, highlighting the humility of people in the face of survival. Human nature is nothing more than survival, and there is a feeling that "at the beginning of man, nature is evil". And the visual effects of the film are even more first-class, especially when you think back to 19The feeling of 9 yuan**3D giant screen is even more good. However, the core theme of the film is not very clear, although people are amazed by the picture and story, but they are not too touched by the humanity reflected behind the story. Although I watched the movie, I was not too impressed by it. Maybe that's why "Life of Pi" didn't win Best Picture that year!Regrets!There are serious spoilers next, so I recommend that friends who haven't ** watched the movie first, and then come to see my recommendation!(Remember to close the barrage). Who's the real **?
The brain-burning places in the movie are mainly reflected in three key points. First of all, why is the early narrative so lengthy that it doesn't directly show the shipwreck?Secondly, who exactly killed whom?Finally, why should people believe stories that are clearly lies?Compared with other brain-burning movies, the most attractive thing about this movie is that the director solves all the doubts in the last one. The director bluntly revealed: both the zebra and the sailor broke their legs, and the hyena bit the zebra and the orangutan. Thus, the hyena is the cook, the sailor is the zebra, the mother is equivalent to the orangutan, and the pie is the tiger. This shows that the most challenging part of the film is no longer suspenseful at the end. However, it was observed that in addition to zebras, orangutans, hyenas, and tigers, there was also a rat on board, so who was the identity of the mouse?The rat symbolizes agility, shadow, and stealth.
Thus, the rat actually represents Ananti, Pie's girlfriend in India, and the character of the rat implies that Ananti is smuggling aboard the boat (she also hides in the survival boat before finally showing up). The director deliberately presents a cannibal island resembling a maiden, with a large number of meerkats living in the desert to prove that the rat is Ananti. Pie ties the bracelet that Ananti gave him to the roots of a mangrove tree on Cannibal Island, further proving that the last animal to die was Ananti who had been smuggled in. In Pie's story to the writer, the writer only mentions zebras, hyenas, orangutans, and tigers, and not the rats, because Pie has not forgotten the mice. As can be seen from watching the movie, zebras and orangutans were all bitten to death by hyenas, and only the mice were directly thrown to the tiger to swallow in one bite.
In other words, both the sailor and his mother were killed by the cook, and Pie killed his girlfriend Ananti with his own hands. Observing the animals as they die, it can be seen that when the cook kills the sailor, Pie's mother and girlfriend become bystanders, and the sailor injures his hand while killing his mother, and Pie immediately knocks her down. Subsequently, Pie and his girlfriend persevered for quite some time on human flesh and the fish they caught with human flesh. Eventually, however, Pie is driven almost insane by hunger, and the darkness triumphs over reason, killing his girlfriend with his own hands and eating her before she can be rescued. In this fairy tale, Pie throws the live mouse to a mad tiger, which means that instead of starving to death, his girlfriend is killed and eaten by Pie. Thus, in the stories told to writers by the adult party, the rats are deliberately downplayed.
At the same time, in addition to describing the rat as his girlfriend, Cannibal Island more importantly expresses his attachment to his girlfriend at the party, and finally brutally kills his girlfriend. The springs and meerkats on Cannibal Island provide water and food, suggesting that Pie was replenished with water and food when he ate his girlfriend. He wants to stay on Cannibal Island forever, which on the one hand shows that he wants to leave with his girlfriend, and also shows his attachment to his girlfriend. At night, the cannibal island turns into a fountain of acid, referring to his girlfriend's stomach, in which the dissolved fish do not swim in during the high tide during the day, but are the fish that Pie once caught, such as the tuna that Pie snatched from the tiger. This shows that Ananti has been with Pie for a long time, and the two are attached to each other, but they still can't overcome their desire to live.
After understanding this mysterious story, and looking back at the lengthy life stories in the film, you will realize that these seemingly lengthy stories have been given specific meanings by the director. This is followed by a lengthy prelude, which represents a real-life story that illustrates the origin of the meaning of Pie's name, as well as the changing story of faith, and the relationship between Pie and his girlfriend, family, sailor, and cook. In particular, the origin of the name and the change of the story of faith seem to have nothing to do with fantasy drifting, and it seems that even if it is put aside, it will not affect the storyline of the whole movie. However, when the viewing is over, it is really understood that the lengthy prelude is the real essence. Whether it's the fantastical drift of Pie and the Tiger or the second cruel story, there are actually many loopholes and problems, such as the fact that two investigators from a Japanese shipping company once mentioned: "There are thousands of meerkats on a floating island, but no one has ever seen them?".
Orangutan sits on a pile of bananas and floats towards you", this sentence actually reveals the absurdity of the story described. After listening to the first story, the Japanese investigators realized that it was fabricated and were willing to listen to the second story. However, the second story does not mention anything related to his girlfriend Ananti. The audience has learned through the previous explanation that his girlfriend was killed by Pie, and Pie's name ** can prove this. Originally known as Bensin Mollido Patel, because he had the same name as Pee, he memorized almost the entire pie and officially changed his name to pie. This shows that Pie's memory is so amazing that there could be no obvious mistakes or omissions. Therefore, Pie misremembered in the first story and did not mention his girlfriend in the second story, which indicates that Pie killed his girlfriend and deliberately concealed this fact. The party kills and eats people in extreme environments, and it has a smaller psychological burden, and is good at hiding itself.
In the end, Pi was the only one who survived, stemming from his story of changing beliefs. Although we can see the obvious holes in the story, why did the investigator and writer in the film choose to believe the first story?This is because in Pie's second story, the cook kills the sailor, as well as Pie's mother, and even eats human flesh by fishing with their corpses. Pie survives and kills the cook, suggesting that Pie may have survived on the flesh of the sailor and his mother, and maintained his strength. The way to survive in "Nineteen Forty-Two" - from darkness to light in the movie "Nineteen Forty-Two" is incredible: he kills the cook, eats his meat, and uses the cook's meat to fish. This act not only shows the darkness and cruelty of human nature, but also contrasts with the fortitude of Pie's perseverance in living at sea for 227 days.
At sea, survival has become the only criterion, and there is no evidence of who deserves to die and who deserves to live. If there are still people alive, what reason is there to deprive them of their right to live?Thus, such a cruel story contrasts sharply with Pie's persistence at sea. However, the film does not stop at revealing the darkness of human nature, nor does it blindly celebrate greatness, but packages this cruel story in the form of a fairy tale, making it full of dreams. In a way, this makes the story meaningless, just told for the sake of telling, filmed just for the sake of filming. The audience may think about the brain-burning parts of the film, but they will not reflect more on the humanity and society in it, which makes the film plausible. Perhaps it is for this reason that although there are many metaphors implied in the front and back of the film, it cannot win the Best Film award.
After all, if I were a judge, I wouldn't love this kind of technologically show-off movie that lacks a core idea. Overall, although the film looks good and gets a high overall review, it lacks deep connotation. If there are other similar brain-burning movies, you are very welcome to recommend them!If you think my point of view is reasonable, please give me a thumbs up, if you want to understand the movie from a different angle and want to watch a good movie, please follow me, thank you!Thank you for your tips, for me, your recognition makes me happier than a few dollars. In the vast sea of people, it is a rare pleasure for me to be appreciated by you. I can't put into words how grateful I feel in my heart, but I can only say again, thank you very much!Last recommendation: >.
