Hello everyone, today is an epic movie, why do you say so. Because this movie is a fairy tale if a child watches it. Adults watch it as a horror movie.
If you were given a beautiful fairy tale and a harsh reality, which would you prefer? Pie tells us two very different stories. One cannot believe in so many religions at the same time, and if you believe in everything, it means that you don't believe in anything. Believing in Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, he had never seen the ferocity of a tiger, and had made a friend of the tiger in his own zoo, and his father, through a simple experiment, had made Pai no longer immersed in the beautiful fantasies he had woven by his own hands. While recognizing reality, Pie also lost a sense of simplicity and beauty. It wasn't until the appearance of his girlfriend Ananti that Pai saw the beauty of the world. In fact, Pai's religious beliefs are complex because he cannot find the meaning of his existence in this world.
The country was in turmoil, the zoo lost government funding, and His father had to take his family on a cruise ship to another country in search of survival and development. An accident occurred, and late that night in the vast sea, the storm that had originally made Pai feel extremely excited became a catastrophe that engulfed the cargo ship in an instant, killing all the people. Pi was lucky enough to survive by landing on the hatch cloth of the lifeboat, along with him a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a female orangutan, and an adult Bengal tiger, Richard. Parker. Since then, they have drifted across the Pacific Ocean in a lifeboat and embarked on a magical adventure.
During the first 3 days of rafting, the hungry and cruel hyenas killed the orangutans, ate the zebra alive, and the tiger killed the hyenas. In order to protect himself, Pai threw the remaining rats into the tiger's mouth. At this point, this sea rafting trip is only left with Pi and Bengal Tigers. At this time, the faction was in a very dangerous situation, he had to guard against the Bengal tiger, but also to collect fresh water, catch shrimp to survive, and at the same time face storms and shark attacks. Pie must learn to survive with a beast and try to tame the Bengal tiger, which ultimately ends in failure. Pie could only stay on the floating object he had made of his life jacket, but when he had the opportunity to kill the Bengal tiger with his own hands, he gave up. Because the fear of the Bengal tiger allows him to always be vigilant and not give up the hope of life.
After that, Pai and the Bengal tiger seemed to agree, he used all his sea survival skills to feed the tiger and let himself survive, and they watched each other and snuggled up to each other in this boundless and desolate sea. Eventually, Pie tamed the Bengal tiger with human wisdom. After the food left by the pie and the tiger ran out, they fell into despair. But miraculously, they drifted with the boat to a paradise island. After a short stop to rest, Pai discovers that it was originally a man-eating island. Terrified Pi and the tiger began drifting again until they were rescued on the beach in Mexico, but the tiger left without looking back.
To convince the insurance company representatives, Pie told another version of the story. In fact, there were no animals on the lifeboat, only a cook, a sailor with a broken leg, Pie and his mother. The cook killed and ate the sailor, then the mother, and finally the sailor was killed and eaten. The final reality is that only Pie survived. Apparently the second story is more authentic, but the insurance company representative adopts the first, less brutal story. The two stories are very different, and it is impossible to know whether they are true or false. A writer who tried to find a reason for God's existence, the Visiting Sect, in the two stories pie gave, decided to believe in the first one. Pai replied: So you follow God. After all, no matter what form God exists, his ultimate will should be the beauty of human nature.
"Richard Parker" was originally the name of the protagonist of the real man-eating shipwreck in history. In 1884, the Mignonette sank, trapping four crew members in the South Atlantic, along with three crew members and a 17-year-old male servant named Richard Parker. During the vast sea drift, three adult crew members kill orphan Richard Parker and eat his flesh, thus surviving.
Richard Parker, the Bengal tiger, as a representative of human bestiality, is sent as a symbol of the human part. A classic fantasy film that triggers our thinking about human nature and plunges us into the relationship and conflict between faith and survival. Imagine if our survival is also threatened by hunger and loneliness, in order to survive, should we do whatever it takes to destroy humanity, or should we try to curb the source of animal power and insist on finding our inner faith?
