"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.

    How similar is the fate of a boat in the deep sea to that of life? There is too much powerlessness and unexpectedness. On our way home, we pass through the sea of ​​mirrors, flying fish, isolated islands, and galaxies. How to draw a clear line between dream and reality? I finally understood that the so-called life is constant letting go. The most sad thing is that I failed to say goodbye to them. The journey of life is nothing but the same end in different ways, and loneliness and love are the homework we have to face in our life.

    There are some questions, but I don’t think that’s the problem with this movie. "What is a movie?" There is no answer to this question, only a different course of growth.
