The conflict between good and evil

Life of Pi

I didn't really understand the movie. But after seeing the analysis of a big man of Zhihu, I had a feeling of dispashing the clouds and seeing the fog.

Tiger is the evil side of human nature, PI is the good side. Let's start with the name. The boy got his name from his uncle, representing the most beautiful swimming pool in France, but eventually became PI, PI. A shift from romance to reality. Tiger's name is thirst upside down. Thirst is what the priest mentions when he offers him water, that is, Christ, as opposed to faith, science, reality. Everything about H is grounded in reality right here.

In my opinion, the core of the film is the entanglement of good and evil in human nature. That is, how much romance we have to have, how much reality we have to have. (It feels like the movie is more about the opposition between good and evil into the opposition between romance and reality.) This is the thing I lost in June. Romance is poetry, child, unrealistic, reality is food, is profit, is the real point under everyone's nose. What a boring life it would be if it were all about reality. That's what I thought in June. How about now? Reality is boring, but changing it is fun.

In extreme situations, it is necessary to respect reality in order to survive. I don't know the answer, just as I'm still unsure of my options when this extreme situation comes along. But, fortunately, we don't have to be that extreme. Life doesn't have to be that extreme.

What are my values? A person can not be evaluated by hard work, fame and wealth. In my opinion, whether everyone spends his life in the way he likes is a standard, which is the standard for me to choose whether to make friends with him or not. I have not yet found a yardstick by which to value other people. There always seems to be a winner and a loser. What is the reality? The reality is that people think in terms of their own interests. In the green field of fame and fortune, everyone's own vanity, the desire to win, you can't escape. At its core is the human instinct to survive. In the face of death, which of human nature will prevail, evil or good? The answer given by the rise of the Batman Knight is that good wins. Both boats survived. But the truth? The difference between universal facts and extreme facts. The inside degree of a grasp.

Case by case analysis becomes the most correct sentence. There is no immutable truth, rules, values, can always be adhered to. We are shaped by the experiences we face in our lives, by the choices we make in the world, and ultimately by how we analyze facts.

We doubt all the beauty and refuse to admit the cruelty of reality.

So, people with faith, and tigers are more likely to be happy than we are

Many people think the tiger's name is a metaphor for the hero's cannibalism. But I think that's a slippery slope to over-interpretation and logic. In fact, in the book, Pi once wanted to kill Richard Parker, the tiger, and he imagined many ways to do it. So, for a man who was almost murdered in a shipwreck, the tiger's name is Richard Parker, and he deserves it.

When you understand life and self, are not used to overcome, but to get along with, you will understand, although some things are not reasonable, you must believe, some things are not solid, but you must rely on. This is not a choice in Ang Lee's movies, but it is probably also a choice in Ang Lee's life.
