The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't fall asleep. After a while, I was afraid that I didn't even dare to straighten my feet.
I watched it for several days, but it is only now that it gradually reflects
the truth about Li Ang's hesitation behind many details.
This is really an extremely dark and cruel story.
Ang Lee is like building an extremely magical and beautiful garden
for you to play in it, intoxicated by the friendship of various people and animals, luminous whales, etc.
But when you are content to leave the cinema,
he suddenly puts you
Bring it to a small door and tell you that, in fact, I want you to see this, then put the key into your hand, and turned away.
If you drive in, you will see extremely terrifying things that you will never forget.
In fact, the next story is the truth.
The boy pie boarded the lifeboat with the cook, Buddhists, and mother. The
cook first killed the Buddhist, then killed his mother, cut off her head and threw her into the sea
. After witnessing his mother being killed, he was angry. After killing the cook
, he drifted alone in the sea for more than 7 months, until
he was rescued, how did he survive? Of course the bodies of those who died.
In the beginning, he just ate the cook and the Buddhists.
After that storm, he fell into a coma and felt that he was really going to die,
so he finally ate his mother.
That storm was actually the fierce struggle he experienced in his heart.
After the storm, he floated on an island in a coma. There are densely packed meerkats on the island,
things will rot at night, and people’s teeth.
In fact, the island is his mother’s body, so it often looks very gloomy in the camera.
His last supply was that his mother was rotted and even covered with maggots.
Because the facts are too cruel.
The juvenile school couldn't accept all this, so he had a split personality.
Split personality is usually caused by something unacceptable to the person
involved, so in order to protect himself from a nervous breakdown, he imagines that it happened to someone else.
Because I am obsessed with believing in the imaginary person, I often enter it unconsciously and play another personality.
For example, there are book called "24 heavy personality", the autobiography of a split personality who
he said he was the grandmother of violations at an early age, he could not accept the memory
so fantasy out another little boy, this story slipped him
so When he grows up, he often becomes a little boy.
The tiger is the heavy personality split by the juvenile faction.
And he repackaged all the terrible things.
He imagined that the dead people were all kinds of animals
pushing themselves cannibalism on the tiger. He imagined that the tiger ate the
heads of some animal mothers and fed the sharks. What happened, he imagined that the fish on the bottom of the sea turned into a mother to
eat his mother's body, and he was imagined that he had found
all kinds of supplies on an island to support him in surviving.
At night, turn off the light and lie on the bed to think about the time the boy spent at sea.
More than 200 nights, floating alone in the invisible sea, hungry and cold, isolated and helpless. The
sea is like a black mirror
. There are still a few human corpses in the cold and ruthless cabin, headless, cut into pieces. , The blood was bleeding all over the ground
and there was the mother's corpse in it, just thinking about it, I was about to collapse, but
he still had to rely on these to survive.
So he had to keep making up stories for himself and repeating the tiger fairy tale to himself
Repeated countless times until I believed it, in fact, he was already a deep mental patient at that time.
Thinking of "Mulholland Road", it is very similar to this juvenile school.
The movie was about the actress who killed her lover
and then in her dream, imagined that they were still together.
Finally she woke up and couldn't stand the shattering of her dream, and drew her gun to commit suicide.
As for the juvenile pie, they have been daydreaming for more than 200 days.
And in the end, he still lived tenaciously.
He let the tiger leave him and walked into the jungle without looking back, burying the darkest things in his heart forever.
So this is definitely a more cruel story than Mulholland Road.
Because it is always harder to live than to die.
Think about the appearance of Ang Lee, always
speaking with a kind smile , so gentle, gentle, slow, and kind to everything,
but deep in his heart, he must have a deep understanding of what the
shirt behind the cruelly broken back mountain gate is, Wang Jiazhi's last mouth That smile
is the cruelest thing I have ever seen.
But the value of Ang Lee does not lie in his ability to show cruelty.
He can use cruelty to show pure
truth. Chad Parker is the victim of a real shipwreck in history, a 17-year-old boy.
He got into the lifeboat with three other people, and was finally killed and eaten by the three men conspiring to kill him.
In Li Ang's story, he was asked to eat the other three people.
Although he knew that in the real world, the first to die is always innocent.
But in the world of his movies, he let innocent children overcome everything and live to the end.
He said that all his films are about the loss of innocence and the nostalgia for it.
I think this movie, what he wants to tell us is that
only innocent and brave people are the strongest
Only in this way can we cross the dark sea and reach the other shore that hits the light.

PS adds a paragraph,
this movie about faith is called Life of PI
means that it is not only a part of PI's life, but its entire life
PI relies on drifting, and it is also what he relies on to survive life.
That thing is his belief.
What is belief, to a certain extent, you can say that it is a kind of imagination.
Imagine a perfection of God can give us the ultimate significance
imagine a paradise, can incorporate dead loved ones and ourselves
as teenagers PI believe there was a tiger accompany themselves
believe that they come across as miracles fantasy island
you can Despise him, saying that he is a coward and dare not face reality.
But without imagination, no one can survive in this void world.
If you only believe in what you see,
then you can only see the profit-seeking and framing in reality, only seeing cannibalism and being eaten,
only seeing the fickleness and
coldness of the human heart, only seeing the lonely, cold sea, in order to survive and grievances of perfection
only to see the end of life is futile, no result does not make sense
that there is no one able to convince myself to live.
We need imagination, we need faith, we need
something that can make this world better and more worthy of love,
no matter if this faith is God, love, or something else.
It is not shameful, and it is not hypocritical.
Because what we see may not be true
If the universe is actually just a dream of XXXXX, then tell me, what is reality?
Higher creatures in three-dimensional space, do you really believe that reason is everything?
Is it really the greatest virtue to force oneself and others to face the cruel reality nakedly?
If this world is really just an irrational number that does not circulate infinitely?
What are you going to use your "reason" to prove and conquer?
So in the end, the Japanese chose to believe in the first story. The
writer also chose to believe in the first story. He said that it was more exciting.
In fact, they chose to believe in kindness and
chose to let go of their obsession with reason and turn to their hearts to find glimmer.
They chose to use this shimmer to warm each other and illuminate each other.
I believe that this is also Li Ang's choice, and he chooses to believe it.
Therefore, he asked the PI who had experienced this cruel drifting to
raise his hands before the meal and pray calmly and sincerely.
PI like the biblical Job, who lost everything
Job had experienced a storm like the baptism of suffering, struggling on the edge of death
he complained to God, and God bickering, stop questioning, he even cursed his own life.
But in the end he said: "My God, I heard about you before, but now I see you with my own eyes."
Jesus once said to his disciple Thomas:
"You only believe what you see, but you don't see it. Blessed are
those who believe ." What about you, are you willing to believe what you cannot understand and cannot see?
The answer lies in the forest deep in your heart.
Perhaps there is a lotus blooming quietly, and it will coexist with the tiger in your heart.
