pi's father runs a zoo, and he has been exposed to many animals since he was a child. The whole family left India and immigrated to Canada. On the way to take the animals on the boat, the hull crashed inexplicably and soon sank to the bottom of the sea. The only survivors are pis, zebras, hyenas, gorillas and Richard Parker, the Bengal tiger.
At first, pi rescued Parker on board, but he was stimulated by survival and jumped into the sea automatically. However, there are also sharks in the sea, so he had no choice but to use an oar to hang himself on the bow of the boat.
Soon, the cannibalism among the animals began, and the hyenas seemed to drive the tiger off the boat, kill the zebra, and kill the orangutan. Pi decides to fight the hyena to the death, but unexpectedly discovers that the tiger is still hiding in the lifeboat In the end, the tiger kills the hyena and monopolizes most of the space in the lifeboat.
One person and one tiger started the game. Why can pi be alive? Because only he can provide fish and fresh water for the tiger. Why did pi keep the tiger alive? Because despair is worse than a tiger.
At the end, the tiger and pi parted ways and lived separately.
At the end, pi tells a "human" story: if the above-mentioned animals did not exist, the real story happened among the survivors of the shipwreck.
Ang Lee's movie is my favorite. I watched it last year. Today I suddenly saw the original book in a bookstore and picked it up to read it. The shock of watching this story came back all of a sudden.
In fact, no matter whether it is a novel or a movie, I don¡¯t think there is anything to say about the plot. In terms of stories, there are too many good stories, and in terms of fun, they are completely inferior to Strange Doctor Dolittle. But the sense of experience it gives people does not mean just believing in the beauty of human nature. Robin Williams has a movie "Spirit of Mind", which is adapted from a true story. Hunter Paige Adams was admitted to a mental nursing home because of depression when he was a teenager. After he was discharged from the hospital, he determined to be a doctor. So he enrolled at Virginia Medical School in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Although he is talented and has excellent grades in medical school, he is very opposed to the condescending and unreasonable thinking of traditional medical circles. He believes that laughter is the best prescription. In order to make sick patients laugh, he wears brightly colored floral shirts all day long, and sometimes uses plastic medical supplies to pretend to be a clown's red nose, or a gorilla, or even Once, in order to realize a dream for a patient, he filled the swimming pool with noodles, allowing the patient to swim in the noodle soup as he wished. In order to bring joy and hope to patients, he can be said to use all kinds of tricks, but his deviant thoughts and practices are regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the conservative medical dean, who threatens him to drop out of school, but he He still insisted on his philosophy of caring for patients and putting patients first, and dealt with traditional forces to the end. Finally, he successfully obtained a medical degree and established a "health center" after graduation. A caring and laughing medical environment.
Many movies with real prototypes depicting the beautiful side of human nature don¡¯t know why I am moved but still find it difficult to believe in human nature after watching it, but this fictional and even dark story makes me unable to believe in the lightness of human nature noodle. And it¡¯s a wonderful feeling to find the loopholes in that ¡°beautiful¡± story while convincing yourself that it¡¯s ¡°true¡±. There¡¯s a feeling that your emotions are giving way to reason, and the process of giving way will make you Experience the point of view of the characters in the play. At this time, the emotion brought by the story will deepen.
It doesn't matter if you don't read the spoiler or not, you have to watch the process. Simple rational thinking is different from thinking after adding emotion. Not all stories can be judged only from the outline of the plot.
If you want to watch it, I recommend watching the movie. Ang Lee did film this difficult story. Of course, the ending of the last volume of the original book is better than that in the movie. I recommend you to read the novel after watching the movie. In the last part, see which version of your experience you like to believe. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
