Is "Fantasy Drifting of Pi" good?

We doubt everything is beautiful and refuse to admit the cruelty of reality.

So people who have faith and tigers are happier than us.

Frankly speaking, my mood at the movies declined until PI began to tell the second story. If I have any dissatisfaction with the whole movie, it is that My Adventures at Sea with the Tiger, as a popular story, is a bit sloppy and indifferent, and the highly respected 3D impact is completely unexpected. After watching the whole movie, I have been thinking about how Quentin would shoot the escape at sea if he came to shoot this story. I'm afraid there will be more flying jokes like flogging tigers and fishing with tigers. However, since Adventure at Sea not only pleases ordinary audiences, but also shows the director's aesthetic pursuit, we can only sigh that Ang Lee's dream is too restrained, too smart and full of cleanliness and tranquility in the East.

When Pi slowly told the story that the second cook escaped from the sea, I seemed to be awakened from a deep sleep by a nightmare bit by bit. At this time, you found that the previous preparations were not idle. Wang Baijie, who eats gravy rice, Depaty, who doesn't respect faith, and Pi, a pious and tolerant mother, sit in the right position with zebra orangutans after boarding the boat. The cruelty of the true story makes people feel like rolling in the deep. The cruelest cruelty is that you restore yourself by imagination, which is much better than the way some movies cry dog blood.

Apart from the simplest role-corresponding reduction, looking back, we can see that PI is really careful in the text. For example, before the lifeboat fell into the sea, Wang Baijie shouted, "Zebra, Zebra". In fact, he is a zebra. And the sentence "Where are your children?" Asked the orangutan. . For example, in the man-eating island, "Gang" is the shape of a person. For example, when introducing three kinds of Hindu Buddhas and talking about three-faced Buddhas flowing on the river, everything in the world is just his dream. There is really nothing better than this sentence to explain how PI constructed the first story. Everyone is his own god. You can't control the present, but you can control past memories and future fantasies.

When both stories are in front of you, it is time to choose.

The Japanese refuse to believe in the fantasy of fairy tales, and are even more unwilling to believe in the cruelty of reality. After a while, the reporter chose the first fantasy story "You Follow God". Pi's answer gives an ambiguous and clear answer to the truth.

I chose the second story without hesitation.

The Bengal tiger in the first story is an easy interpretation of the other side of PI itself, but I'm afraid it's too hasty to explain it with animality. Pip's father gave an explanation-you have no feelings for it, and you can only see your reflection in his eyes. So "Wandering at Sea" tells the story of multi-religious believers and vegetarians getting along with themselves. The animal has experienced the process of fear, birth, domestication and dependence on tigers, which is also a process of balance between animal nature and rationality. Finally, Tiger Head ran back to the jungle-"Life is about letting go, but unfortunately I haven't had time to say goodbye to you." -people step into the social jungle, don't forget to look back?

I'm curious, but what's Ang Lee's choice?

As far as I know, I think tigers are the embodiment of fear. This fear comes from the awe of nature, the challenge to survival, and the resulting inner loneliness. I'm afraid these fears are persistent and desperate. The choice of adult PI is probably Ang Lee's choice-experience him, face him and accept him.

The middle part of the film is all alone, but at the beginning and end of the film, Pi's life is accompanied by two things-family and religion. Family and religion, for people, are the best ways to escape fear. Religion provides a guess to explain the world. For individuals, facing the unknown, it is always a comfort to us. Family, on the other hand, makes us feel responsible, connected and contributing to the world, which proves the value of our existence. These two things make us have the courage to face ourselves in terms of origin and WTO entry.

When you understand that life and self are not for overcoming, but for getting along, you will understand that although some things are unreasonable, you must believe that some things are not solid, but you must rely on them. This is not the choice in Ang Lee's movies, but I am afraid it is also the life choice of Ang Lee, the first in Pakistan.
