About the evaluation that cannot be evaluated

I have been entangled with a lot of questions about the few scripts I was about to write recently.
Saw it for the second time today. Watching this movie is like facing yourself, every time you watch it, you solve a problem in your heart.
But the movie itself is still too big to be evaluated.

If you can't evaluate, don't evaluate. Despite evaluation anxiety.

When I saw it for the first time, there was a couple sitting next to me. Yes, you must have met such a couple. The female is eating popcorn, and the male commented on a funny smile from time to time throughout the game. What he pays attention to is only how the pie survives, whether it is eaten, whether it is fresh enough, how much advantage it takes for the tiger each round, and this time it's overwhelming. On this level. Then, when the cast and crew came up, the man stood up and said, Lee Ang Niubi.

Ang Lee is indeed amazing, and can satisfy such a shallow search.

I have also seen some expert dismantling on the Internet, which sounds very reasonable, because such dismantling sounded creepy, and it simply stripped off the skin of the movie. They also commented on their self-satisfaction.

Ang Lee is indeed amazing, and can satisfy such a search.

However, I want to say that looking for those tried-and-tested and seemingly profound explanations is actually abandoning the contemplation of the jungle heart of the self. This kind of dismantling is to use the deep meaning shallowly, and use the richness single. It may not be as good as the previous one. At least the first is the state of "thirsty"/thirsty.

The mountains and rivers of China include the mountains and rivers before Zhuangzi and the mountains and rivers after Zhuangzi. After Zhuangzi, the mountains and rivers have attached a layer of philosophy of life. The meaning is rich, but the mountains and rivers are lost.

Just like the animal shots at the beginning, we see wonderful animals. The beauty of the animal itself is a great little spectacle. But some facilities tell us that this is at the zoo. It is the beauty of nature that has been framed by others. Do you continue to seek beauty in the frame, or do you abandon everything and go to the ocean without any foundation?

Ang Lee seemed to be worried about this matter, and it seemed that he was not worried. Without a trace, he led the audience to the empty and changing sea, through our own zoo.


Tang Xie's comment on "Historical Records: The Biographies of Xinling Monarch":

Its theology is hearty everywhere, brilliant everywhere, chestnut everywhere, full-bodied state and flavor everywhere, mechanism dances everywhere, and rhythm is sonorous. The love of the first reading has all its beauty, and the collection is endless; after reading it for a long time, it will be like a bright moon in the heart of Jiang, and it will be empty. I can't fathom its context.


In the biography of Lord Xinling, there are tiger joints in ambush, with tiger intent everywhere. It is rare for Sima Qian to write such articles; and even fewer movies can do it. This is the precious place of this movie, it makes me watch it again and again, and I have to go to see it.
Every mind is mixed.
Every soul should also be vast, turbulent and gentle, like the Pacific Ocean under the clouds.
Turn off the comment track temporarily. Go to the theater and find your pie.

Life of Pi quotes

  • Adult Pi Patel: So which story do you prefer?

    Writer: The one with the tiger. That's the better story.

    Adult Pi Patel: Thank you. And so it goes with God.

    Writer: [smiles] It's an amazing story.

  • Writer: [reading off the report] Mr. Patel's is an astounding story, courage and endurance unparalleled in the history of ship-wrecks. Very few castaways can claim to have survived so long, and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger.
