The film won four awards including Best Director and Best Visual Effects at the 85th Academy Awards. In 1995, Ang Lee was nominated for seven Academy Awards for his English film "Sense and Sensibility" and entered the ranks of Hollywood A-level directors. In 1999, it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the first time for its director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", thus consolidating its position in Hollywood. If Ang Ang got him to the top with the controversial theme "Brokeback Mountain" in 2006, then Ang Lee has officially entered the industry of masters with "Fantasy Drifting of Youth Pie". Ang Lee said frankly that there are "hidden rules" in the film industry, don't touch children, don't touch animals, especially water, which is very troublesome to touch. All three of this film have animals and religions conveyed by the film. The unique outlook on the universe and life brought to "Pai", this purely spiritual impact requires the audience to understand Ang Lee from a higher level. "Youth Pi" tells two versions of the story. The first one, presented in the movie, is the drifting story of Pi and the tiger. The other, from a hospital bed, tells the investigators about the adventures of a sailor, cook, mother, and Pi drifting together, killing each other and leaving Pi alone. The first rafting story, more like a fantasy, is not believed by investigators, because it is impossible for a tiger and a person to "friendly" a wonderful journey in nature unless you keep it in a cage or lock it in a zoo. The second one highlights the cruel side of human nature, but it appears to be closer to the truth. The ending is chosen by the audience. This is actually Ang Lee, who came from an atheist country. He went deep into the Christian world, the Hindu world and the Islamic world to rethink religious feelings and values from different angles. Ang Lee said, "I'm only responsible for telling the story. Now, the story is yours! It's like the middle-aged Pi told the writer: If you believe in the first one, then you are closer to God. And the second story breaks Your imagination throws you back into the cruel reality. This is probably the charm of "Youth Pie". A good movie will make you have endless aftertastes, a good movie will make you overwhelmed, and a good movie will make you bow your head Contemplation. Ang Lee is too smart, because he knows that if he tells either of the above two stories in a straightforward manner, it will only appear bland. The meaning is endless. Rational people - irrational people - rational people; the existence of beliefs - the loss and destruction of beliefs - the reconstruction of beliefs; in this fantasy drifting, the beliefs of man and mankind have encountered a fortuitous encounter and completed a sublimation. Friends who watched this movie, do you believe that Pi is telling the story? I actually prefer to believe the second one, because human nature is inherently evil. Forgive me for being a little too realistic. In fact, I prefer the first one.
