The shock of the vision, the memories of the sadistic heart

"Fantasy Drifting of the Youth School" is a 3D film adapted from the novel of the same name published by Jan Martel in 2001. Starring Khan and Adil. In 2013, the film won four awards including best director and best visual effect at the 85th Academy Awards.

The film tells the story of the Juvenile Pie encountered a shipwreck and all his family members lost their lives. He drifted with a Bengal tiger on the life boat for 227 days. Human Yuhu established a peculiar relationship and finally overcome the difficulties together and was reborn.

The protagonist’s name "Pie" is a bit weird. What does it mean? "Pie (pi)" is pronounced the same as π in mathematics. The original author, Jan Martel, named the boy because π means infinite, non-circular, never repeating and ending, which is a metaphor for life. Unknown and fickle. The Juvenile Pie was forced to leave home and embark on an unknown journey to the Pacific alone. There were many uncertain encounters along the way. The name of the beautiful tiger who followed the pie is: Richard Parker, which is actually a common name for shipwreck victims in reality or in novels. One of the names of Mr. Parker’s child writer Allan Poe’s novel was eaten by someone on the same boat. Dropped, wait. They all seem so profound and unusual.


This is a movie that I want to say something about. It has the strong oriental complex of Ang Lee and the collision and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. This movie will make most viewers feel that it is a worthwhile visual feast, but it can't ignore the sudden cruelty when you read the truth about the second story of the epilogue. The pessimism in his bones will always be silently passed on to the audience in the film, and of course he will leave you with a bright future you can look forward to.

    The movie is not about religion but God, the tiger is God incarnate to some extent. It is not regarded as an adventure, but a painful life tempering, and therefore, the way of giving the two stories has been rewritten. Different from novels, the most difficult thing for movies to refine the whole environment is to externalize the psychology, which produces the so-called spectacle. The interest is deliberately reduced, and the possibility of image layers is explored. The first section is smooth and humorous, and the second and third are heavy, perhaps it is a special inconsistency

    I have no faith so believe the second story. The plot of animal carnage is very short, and it tells the story of tiger and pie. In fact, the cruel reality happens very quickly, and there is a long inner struggle left.

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.
