In the movie, every animal is a symbol, the most prominent of which is the relationship between the boy school and the tiger Richard Parker. The tiger is to send oneself, which symbolizes the light and dark sides of human nature. The evolution of the relationship between Pie and the tiger, precisely symbolizes the process of a person's inner growth.
When we were young, we sent meat to feed tigers, a metaphor for each of us in our childhood. At that time, we did not realize what is good and what is evil. In our childhood, good and evil are a natural manifestation of instinct, which is ignored by our father. His mother's opposition made Pai aware of the existence of evil.
My mother is the leader of Pai’s faith. She let Pai believe in Hinduism first. The universe in Shiva’s big mouth is Pai’s inner desire. But at this time, we haven’t realized that there is so much in our heart. Craving.
However, due to accidental reasons, the pie believes in Christianity and then Islam, which symbolizes our growth when we were young. We always trust people who we are willing to believe without doubt.
We think that conversion is to have faith to solve the problem, but the father pointed out to the faction that people must be rational, have a skeptical spirit, and see that behind the so-called piety is: you choose to believe in everything, but in fact, you have nothing in your heart. firmly believe.
When the young pie fell in love and took his girlfriend to see the tiger, the tiger seemed to be far away from them. It seems that our lives have gone through such a stage. We think that only our heart is pure, and we will not be in harmony with the society. Like those people, they think they can stay away from the gloom from now on.
But when the Pai family was forced to go to Canada and encountered a storm on the ocean, all the beasts ran out. Pai asked, "Who released the animals?" It was not who released the animals, but told us: In a certain environment, the evil hidden in one's heart will wake up unconsciously, and even become the power that controls your thoughts.
Pai obviously realized this. On the lifeboat, he accidentally discovered that the tiger was also trying to board. He tried to prevent the tiger from boarding with the oars, but in vain. He felt very scared, which meant that we were shocked when we rediscovered the dark side of our hearts for the first time after we grew up. It turns out that there is such an evil side in my heart!
But after the tiger got on the boat, he disappeared quickly after some wind and waves, and seemed to be blown away by the wind and waves. This implies that the young faction had made a difficult choice and suppressed the demons with rational coercion. It seems that we have returned to a normal human being, but once the awakened evil is activated, it is only hidden in a place where you cannot see. Seeing the corner, waiting for the opportunity.
When the maned dog (symbolizing the cruel cook) killed the orangutan (symbolizing mother), Pie’s rationality was finally unable to suppress the beast in his heart. The tiger rushed out and killed the maned dog. Pie was terrified and hid in the lifeboat’s boat. On the pole, this means that once the evil in human nature is stimulated by the environment, the good side begins to be suppressed.
Gradually, the animal carcasses on the boat disappeared, indicating that the pie began to be controlled by its own primitive desires. The lifeboat became the tiger's territory, but it was also the primitive desire to feed the tiger that allowed the pie to survive. This implies that each of us has to go through a period of satisfying primitive desires before we can accept higher levels of growth.
With the help of the survival manual, I sent myself to build a floating small fort and tried to survive. The survival manual symbolizes the scientific knowledge of mankind. The kind side in his heart attempts to learn from the fruits of human rationality, and scientific civilization is self-saving. We will also go through such a stage in the process of growing up. When we find ourselves wild and unpredictable, we try to seek the way of self-salvation through reason.
With the help of the survival manual, Pai began the process of tame the beast step by step. The tiger gave way a little bit, and the range of activities on the lifeboat became wider and wider. The lifeboat symbolized everyone’s thinking at this time. To gain the upper hand, let goodness gain the upper hand, and the evil in the heart slowly becomes the slave of reason and begins to obey the command of reason.
But reason always seems to be not so effective. When the pen is used up and the survival manual is blown away by the wind and waves, it is a metaphor for us to do everything possible to seek help from the power of scientific reason, and to see some of the effects of scientific reason, but for our inner desires, Reason always seems to be unreachable.
Instead, the turning point came after Pai had completely lost the survival manual. He was determined to conquer the tiger with his own strength. Finally, he sent the tiger back to the tent successfully, which symbolized that human nature can rely on his inner strength and let the inner devil hide again. Back where you can't see, the goodness in human nature will win in the end.
When the pie was on the boat and the tiger gazing into the deep sea in the night sky, they all saw their mother, and it was her mother who made the young pie learn about religion for the first time. Place, to be left to the gods.
When you regain your faith in your heart, God will definitely show his miracles. On another stormy night, Pai thoroughly realized the mighty power of nature, surrendered to nature, and human beings are small and insignificant in front of nature. Putting away the arrogant and arrogant mentality, we are not the spirit of all things, we are a dust in the universe, and the evil in our heart, the tiger is completely surrendered to the power of faith at this time.
When Pai tamed the tiger inside, they came to Neverland. This island is a paradise on earth during the day. It seems that he and the tiger can coexist freely on the island, but at night, the island shows its cannibalistic side. Ang Lee uses Neverland to tell everyone that all beliefs that promise perfection are nothing but a dream. Life must dare to escape from illusory dreams and face real suffering.
On the turbulent sea, both the pie and the tiger were dying, shrouded in the breath of death. Pi put the tiger on his lap, and the two depended on each other. This implies that after a lifetime of gaming, the good and evil in people's hearts finally reach a reconciliation.
The pie who dared to face the truth was finally saved, and the tiger never went back to the jungle and never saw him again. Pai’s tears shed for the good in her heart, and also for the evil she has controlled in her heart.
How much struggle does a person have to go through in a lifetime to tame the beast in his heart? Some people, life stays at some stage without realizing it, some people are struggling for life at some stage, some people in the next life to repent their past, some people have not repented life ...
the heart has the Tigers, Sniffing the rose, the young pie, is the story of our growth.
