At the beginning of the movie, the animals walked leisurely and leisurely in front of me. The unhurried Indian songs filled the blank heart like a warm color, and the realistic 3D effect made me feel like I was in the original world of the young Pi. The sun is full of sunshine and life is full of life. The animals are not only the means of making money for the father, they all have names and are like friends who accompany them every day. Before the story unfolded, I was deeply moved by these soft and comfortable images! Although the real world may not be so beautiful, just like the cruel fact of Pi's father who swallowed the tiger alive and stripped the lamb before his eyes, the world that Pi sees is still haunted in my mind. I think this is not to escape reality, but to use the color "believe" to describe the world that is really perceived in the heart. [Fear: The Power of Survival] When Pi's family moved to Canada, the animals also boarded the boat. From the moment the boat left the land, they not only left their home, but also entered another world at the same time. To leave is to survive. This is like when we grow up, we will be forced to leave the shelter of our home and devote ourselves to work and study in a strange city. There are no relatives there, and sometimes even if there are other people around, the heart still seems to be alone. Therefore, the fantasy drifting of Pi also implies the countless drifting that everyone must go through in life. The vast and endless sea symbolizes the vast future that we cannot see, and Richard Parker, the only tiger who survived with Pi, is a lingering fear that overrides other perceptions. In the beginning, Richard Parker monopolized the boat, and Pi could only stay on the small raft, always worried, unable to sleep at night, and unable to eat safely. But in order to survive, he must bite the bullet and face Richard Parker. He first tried to feed it, and then even dared to tame it. When the rope connecting the small raft and the boat broke, Pi knew that there was no way to escape, and he could only try his best to live with Richard Parker. The untamable tiger inspired Pi's fighting spirit to survive, but what he didn't expect was that Richard Parker unknowingly became his inner support. After the second storm, Pi saw the dying Richard Parker, and at that moment, the fear in his heart rose to the highest point. However, he was no longer afraid of Richard Parker, but of the complete loneliness of drifting alone at sea after losing Richard Parker. At this time, Richard Parker has changed from "fear" in Pi's heart to warm "company". Richard Parker is no longer Pi's enemy, but Pi's companion. The amazing thing is that Richard Parker, who looked hideous at first, gradually became soft and cute as Pi's mood changed, like a lovable big cat, instead of a beast that threatened human life at any time. In fact, the appearance of the tiger has never changed. What has changed is people's mentality. When my mind changes, everything I see is different. After the storm, when Pi approached Richard Parker and hugged him emotionally, tears streaming down his face for fear of losing him, I also burst into tears. Because at that moment I believed what Pi believed: fear can be a force for survival or a companion in times of loneliness. I used to think that fear was doomed, so I often bypassed it involuntarily, trying to distance myself from it. In fact, the level of fear is often proportional to the level of care, meaning that what we fear is actually what we really care about. I always thought that I was a person who was very free and easy about life and death, but it was not until I took a flight with China Eastern Airlines once that I found out that was not the case. Soon after the plane took off, there was a strange loud noise that lasted for a long time. Before long, the passengers began to panic, and some even yelled at them. The flight attendant was busy soothing everyone, and seemed to be a little uneasy. Although the plane landed safely after the incident, I have never been on a plane that made a loud noise since then, but since that time, every time I got on the plane, I always felt inexplicable fear, and I was so panicked that I couldn’t eat or sleep. It felt like At first, Pi's fear of Richard Parker had to wait until the plane landed safely to relieve the tension. Lately, I've started to think about what was on my mind during that dreadful hour and a half? I remember what came to my mind at that time was the appearance of my mother and lover, and I burst into tears thinking about it. It turned out that what I was most afraid of was that it was too late to say goodbye to the people I loved, just like Pi was too late to say goodbye to his family, but in a split second he was separated forever. It was only then that I realized that when I was very young, the idea that I hoped that "life is shorter and shorter" has quietly changed. Although life is inherently impermanent, wanting to spend a little longer with the person I love has given me a different view of life, and even an unprecedented fear of death. After that time, I began to resist flying, but I couldn't help but fly. No one knows the huge change in my heart, because I know that it is useless to say it, and it only adds to the troubles of others. There are some things in life that you can only face yourself, and only you can untie the knots that you have tied. I suddenly understood why Pi, drifting alone at sea, would rather be with the dangerous Richard Parker than be alone. If even Richard Parker was gone, he might really have to die alone at sea. When I had to face the tigers like Pi, I made a change, I took the window seat that I never chose to be alone in the past, from the plane taxiing to the take-off lift, looking straight all the way, when I saw the dusk, it was beautiful The extreme sea of clouds, the fear that follows a shadow suddenly quiets down, I think of the person I love, and the warmth of the past In the picture, I feel that I am not flying, but walking hand in hand in the evening with the breeze blowing, waiting for the sunset. Just like after the stormy sea, Pi can still see a bright sea under the stars, and Richard Parker's warm company sitting quietly by the side. If you hadn't been in danger, you might not have been able to see the beautiful scenery of the world and the true appearance of your heart. Fear is the power of survival, and living with fear is a lifelong lesson. There is a reason to survive, and perhaps the brilliance of life can be maximized in fear. [Humanity: the coexistence of beast and divinity] Humans are also a kind of animals, but people often forget. In the movie, Pi regards all animals as friends at the beginning. The animals have their own names. He and his mother are both vegetarians. He believes in Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam at the same time, and believes that the three religions are compatible. But Pi's father told him: "If you believe everything, it means you believe nothing. 』I think this sentence represents Pi's true state of mind. He believes everything, which means there is no one he believes most; if he does not believe the most, it means that he believes in himself. Religious belief invokes the divinity in the human heart, distinguishing humans from animals. Sacrifice, dedication and never despair are strong forces beyond human nature, and such beliefs do make the world a better place. However, human beings are not gods after all. When faced with the juncture of life and death, can divinity still be selflessly displayed? After Pi's mother got on the boat, she wanted to switch to a vegetarian diet with the chef. The chef sarcastically said, "These meats were all vegetarian before, so they are vegetarian. ' Afterwards, a sailor who believed in Buddhism comforted them: 'On a boat, gravy is not meat, it's just a condiment. 』 Later, when Pi was drifting at sea, in order to feed Richard Parker, he had to catch big fish. When the big fish struggled uncontrollably in front of his eyes, he seemed to be possessed by Richard Parker, and he tried hard to catch the big fish. Punched and forced to become the executioner, he could only apologize to Big Fish in tears. But later, he was so hungry that he lost his mind, and he fought with Richard Pike for fish and meat. In order to survive, a vegetarian, he started eating meat and stopped crying. Survival, forcing out the primitive animal nature of human beings. Until he drifted to a deserted island, he was so hungry that he dug the ground to find plants to eat, and the fox weasels all over the island became Richard Parker's food. To my surprise, the other fox weasels didn't run around, just like those immobile plants that he asked for. The movie seems to imply that if all living beings are equal, there is no difference between eating plants and animals, because the same is the exchange of other life for the continuation of one's own life. The animal nature of human beings can only be hidden under the condition of safe survival, and the divinity can be revealed only when the animal nature is hidden. In fact, in real life, the phenomenon of "people eating people" is also never disappeared. In order to survive in the workplace, the peaceful coexistence between people has become superficial. In order not to be harmed by others, they have to do it first. Those who have been harmed decide to turn themselves from zebras into tigers. The complexity of human nature lies in the desire to be close to the divine, but the animal nature has never disappeared. Pi, who ate meat, gradually became a kind of Richard Parker, so when Richard Parker left without looking back, Pi would cry so sadly. When he no longer needed to live like a tiger in order to survive, the traces of drifting at sea for more than 200 days suddenly became a phantom, and he seemed to have lost a certain part. However, just as Pi always believed in his heart that Richard Parker would always be with him, it means that the animal nature will not disappear, but will naturally merge with the divinity. Thus, we see the intertwining of light and shadow, there is no absolute darkness, and there is no completely bright human nature. [Believe, is true] Pi tells two stories, the former is a story of a person who is accompanied by a tiger, who is afraid but not alone. The latter has no tigers, only people who kill each other for survival, which makes people shudder cruelly. The two Japanese and later writers who interviewed Pi believed in the first story, and I did not hesitate to believe the first story, even though I knew that the cruel story was the truth. But what is the truth? Is it the cruel reality of the real experience, or the fictional face seen in the heart? I suddenly remembered the leisurely animals that I saw in the opening film. They didn't look like they lived in the zoo at all. In my memory, the animals in the zoo always looked tired and their eyes showed sadness from time to time, while the animals in the picture were full of spirit and eyes. spirituality. Perhaps, what we see is not necessarily the real world, but the world that Pi sees in his heart. He regards animals as friends. Under his careful care, animals live in warm homes instead of cages. They live like humans. It seems that nature is full of vitality and hope is endless. Therefore, I believe that "real" and "fiction" are not necessarily two completely different worlds. Sometimes reality is only a living environment, while fiction is what the heart wants and where it is. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the first story "The Fantastic Drifting of Teenage Pi" appeared. The word "fantasy" contains the imaginative beauty of dreamlike magnificence, and it is the inner world that no big storm can destroy. I believe that such beauty really exists, and I also believe that Pi and Richard Parker used to rely on each other. I hope that when we say goodbye, Richard Parker can look back at Pi, because like Pie, I unknowingly forgot that it was The beast, seeing it as the same kind, wants to have a humane parting. So, I also began to understand people's wishful thinking. Sometimes knowing that this is not the case, still paranoid to interpret it in a completely different direction. Perhaps it is a kind of self-protection, to protect the injured self, to see a ray of light in the dark bottom of the valley, to give oneself a reason to survive, and to continue to drift on the boundless sea. Otherwise, the life that has changed overnight will lose the possibility of continuing. Without the presence of Richard Parker, Pi might not have survived the dangerous drift and long loneliness, and would never have landed a day. This rare masterpiece has too many miniatures of life and metaphors of reality, but the most important thing is that Ang Lee has turned on the audience's thinking, making people want to understand every picture and detail from beginning to end. In the end, instead of being overwhelmed by the cruel reality, I pondered the meaning of life and the possibility of a better life. Ang Lee said: "Movies are all about believing. 』After watching the movie, I still did not follow God, but I believed in Ang Lee. That's why we want to find the reflection of life in movies, knowing that they are fictional stories. Because believing is real. Only the heart can determine the world you see. What kind of story you believe will lead to what kind of life. This is the simplest and most important thing I have experienced in "Pi's Fantasy Drift". Righteousness and the possibility of a better life. Ang Lee said: "Movies are all about believing. 』After watching the movie, I still did not follow God, but I believed in Ang Lee.
