watched an interview with Ang Lee and a while ago. He said that the movie "Pi" is about how a boy grows into a man. In my opinion, a boy can only grow into a man if he gets married and has children and becomes a father. But teenage pie is not such a story. So in response to Ang Lee's words, I watched the movie " Pi's Fantasy Drifting " again.
When I swiped, I was watching this movie as a fantasy adventure story. It did a wonderful job in all aspects of visual animation, but the plot was a little monotonous. Because there are only two characters, Pi and Tiger, drifting on the boundless sea, and when the thrilling feeling is over, it begins to feel quite boring. So when I watched this movie for the first time, I didn't really put much effort into it.
This time, I watched it with search and discovery, I wanted to see how a boy grows into a man in a story like this. Because of curiosity, I watched it very much.
However, the story is still the same story. The boy and a Bengal tiger, , drifted on the sea after a shipwreck, from fighting to companionship to coexistence. The story is as fantastical as the picture, and it is no different from the last time I saw it. The only difference is that this time I didn't read it for the story, but for the state of mind of the youth pie. The first half of the
story tells the story of Pi's childhood growing up. He encountered a bully at school because of his name, but he fought back and turned adversity into prosperity. And how he met his own faith in India, a kingdom full of gods. As well as his happy and harmonious family, composed of a pair of strict parents and a naughty brother.
Until the economic crisis of hit, my father decided to take the family and take the animals to migrate abroad by boat. The boat was overturned by the waves on the way, and Pi lost all his family, and when he was left alone, He started to grow.
Although in the first half, Pi has been searching for his own life, his name, his beliefs, his love. But it was not until he lost everything; when he had to face the world and his own life alone; when he had to learn to survive and learn to overcome difficulties; he really began to grow.
When Pai discovered that the tiger was also on the rescue boat, it actually symbolized that he was about to face the difficulties in his life, and the tiger was that difficulty. The state that Pi shows at the first time is the first reaction of people when faced with difficulties - escape. The
faction escaped from the beginning, but later found that they could not escape, so they chose to face it. Begin to learn in the terrifying attempt, and start to find the courage and methods to overcome difficulties little by little, so as to face and accept difficulties, until they coexist with them.
actually experienced the process of growing up in life, and it was also the process of a boy growing into a man. When we were boys, we could always turn to adults for help when we encountered difficulties, and adults would also be willing to protect us, so that we lost the opportunity to face the difficulties.
But when we leave or lose them, when we need to face difficulties alone, when there is no adult to rely on, that is when we start to grow. So sent to the sea and experienced the process of drifting with the tiger is the process of his growth.
It's just that this tiger is represented in the movie, so this story can be established. In fact, the tiger is abstract, it can be an element that everyone sees. In my eyes, tiger is difficulty. Putting the element of difficulty into it, I just saw in the movie how Pi grew from a boy to a man.
Growing up as a man does not mean that you want to get married and have children. You can become a man if your identity is different. But you have to face the difficulties in your life head-on, go through thousands of sails in the process, and practice your skills. Develop the courage to overcome difficulties and the ability to coexist with difficulties. When you have the shoulders to shoulder the difficulties and the responsibility to become a man, then you are enough to be called a man.
It's not that you changed your identity, became someone's husband, became a childDad, you become a man. Some men have had two children, and the level of childishness is still staggering. I have such a living example by my side.
My friend, he flinches when he encounters difficulties. He has absolutely no courage to face it directly, always saying that I can't do it. The first thing that appeared was a very weak and incompetent state. Just like when Pai saw the tiger on the lifeboat, in the face of difficulties, he was also frightened, hid the crap on the lifebuoy, and gave the boat to the tiger.
can see that people are in the same state when facing difficulties. The first thing they feel is fear and helplessness. I don't know how to solve it, so I think about escaping first, and try to hide first. After escaping for a long time, I found myself in a very passive position, and my state was particularly uncomfortable.
will see at this time, escape is not the solution, the problem is still there and has not been solved. So at this moment, I began to reflect and began to try to face and solve the problem. So in the process of trying, courage and methods also appeared.
My friend, the reason why he is older than me and so immature, especially when he encounters difficulties, he will immediately be counseled. Because he not only has parents, but also two sisters. Whenever he encounters any difficulties in the process of growing up, even if his parents can't solve it, his sister will find a way to help him solve it.
So he's lucky that he hasn't faced any difficulties alone all the way, even at the age of independence, even if he's a parent, he still relies on his two sisters because they always solve problems for him.
But he renovated the house some time ago, and he approached me and told me that he was having a headache and didn't know what to do. Said he was incompetent and inexperienced. In short, before you get started, deny yourself first. So I encouraged him to say, you're fine, you can. And I shared with him my experience in renovating the house. At this time, he raised his spirits a little and felt that he could do it.
, just like when Pi overpowered Tiger, he has little ability and little experience. He also tried again and again, groping for a trick and finding a way. Pi took this step with nowhere to go, and my friend took this step with my encouragement. In short, in the face of difficulties, if you can take this step and try to solve the problem, you will definitely find a way.
No, my friend's house basic decoration has been completed, and he is looking for workers, staring at decoration, and running building materials. Originally a person who could not do anything in my eyes, has taken this step and can do so well. Therefore, people must be encouraged and encouraged to face difficulties, rather than help them solve them.
Just because you helped him solve it, doesn't mean his life won't be difficult again. Then, instead of helping him solve it, it is better to encourage him and let him develop the confidence and courage to face difficulties.
After subduing Tiger, he suddenly felt a huge emptiness, as if he had nothing to do, and he could only drift aimlessly on this sea. With nothing to do, his whole person became weaker and weaker, and his energy and spirit also began to wilt. Fortunately, there is a tiger with him, and he feels that he is not alone in this dead sea. Moreover, he has to solve the problem of food and clothing for the tiger, so as not to put himself in danger.
At this time, Pi realized that he and Tiger were in a coexisting relationship. Although he was very afraid of tigers at first, he tried every means to subdue it, but he almost lost his life when he was attacked by tigers. But after going through all this, Pi saw from the other side that without the existence of tigers and the courage and motivation brought him by subduing tigers, he really doesn't know how to survive and what to rely on in this boundless sea. go down.
Difficulty is the same, although we all like to choose to escape, solving it also pays a bloody price. However, in the process, difficulties will prompt us to muster up all our courage, try our best, and exert all our strength. At this time, aren't we the freshest, most vivid, and bravest. Often we only focus on the difficulties, but neglect to solve them.In times of trouble, he looks full of vitality.
There are many difficulties in this life. If one is solved, there will be another one. The difficulties are endless. Only when we see how courageous, powerful, and attractive we are when we face difficulties, and thus appreciate and worship such ourselves, can we readily accept the existence of difficulties and coexist with the difficulties in our lives. The
faction has actually seen that if this drifting was not accompanied by tigers, then it would be impossible for him to persist until now. It is precisely because of the existence of the tiger that he will not feel empty, lonely, lonely, or even fall into infinite despair. The existence of the tiger made him unable to care about his grief. He had to find a way to subdue the tiger and find a way to satisfy the tiger's food and clothing. In this sea with no end and no end in sight, it is the tiger who makes Pi still feel that he still needs to live and should live.
Difficulty is the same, the meaning of its existence is to make people clearly feel that they are still alive. If you don’t feel difficulties, you won’t feel pain and sadness, you won’t be able to set off happiness and happiness so clearly, and you will live more and more numbly. So difficulties must have their meaning, and the meaning of their existence is so beautiful, we naturally have to accept difficulties and coexist with them.
When Pi realized this, he felt that the tiger in front of him was so important. When the tiger left him, the despair and sadness he showed were so real and profound. If the difficulties disappear from life, how can we feel that we are still alive, and how can we feel good?
I think I'm used to the tiger's pie. At the moment when the tiger left, it was as if the difficulties were withdrawn from his life. How could he continue to live?
Although there is another version of this story in the movie, a more brutal version that follows the laws of human nature and survival. When I even read movie reviews, I also saw some netizens interpret this: " hyena on the lifeboat is actually Pi's father, zebra is a sailor, orangutan is a mother, and Pi is actually the tiger. In order to survive, The hyena ate the zebra, and the orangutan tried to prevent the hyena to kill it, which angered the tiger, and the hyena was eaten by the tiger.” Although this interpretation made my jaw drop, but it makes sense when I think about it. After all, everyone is in a different position, and what they see is naturally different. Although everyone has their own interpretations, everyone can put their own interpretations into the movie, and the logic and opinions can be established. This is the greatness and success of this movie.
is just an interpretation of this kind of cannibalism. As far as movies and novels are concerned, it is true that the sense of story is stronger, but I always feel that Ang Lee, as a film master, cannot limit the height of this movie here. . He definitely hopes to break through the barriers of consciousness and carve out more dimensions and aspects about human nature and people. So that the audience can climb up the stairs, stand in a higher position, see themselves, see humanity, and see people.
