少年派中英文影评Comment on the movieLife Of Pi Seeing from the Chinese title of this movie，its not difficult to know thatLife Of Piis a movie full of fantasy and adventure. The film tells the story of Pi who had a 227 days adventurous drift at sea with a Bengal tiger. While bringing us a stunning audio-visual feast, the movie also led us to think about humanity and barbarity. From the perspective of shooting skill，the film was shoot in the similar way withTitanic：The aged protagonist tells his or her own experience or story to us. There is a big part of background of Pis Boy life which seems kind of boring at first; but when I finished watching the whole movie, I finally realized the importance of the long opening: it helps a lot with our understanding of the later stories happening to Pi. As for the story of the movie, actually director Ang Leeprovided us two stories to choose: One is about the drift between the young man and the tiger. The other one is that author concludes that cook have killed and ate the seaman, then killed Pis mother, eventually Pi killed and ate the cook. The grown Pi didnt declare against the conclusion. Instead, he just asked the author that which story does he like. Grown Pi said the author believed in god after he got the answer. For me, I dont believe in God, neither do I think there is much meaning in auguring which story is true or false .Isnt it much better that were given more space to think and make the choice by our own understanding?We all seem to be good at suspecting all the beauty while denying the cruelty of reality. I prefer the 1st story maybe just because there is a 2nd story. And this is exactly where this film is bright: turning the story of slaughter and revenge in human world into a story of the law of jungle in animal world and the friendship between the teenage Pi and the tiger. Through the two different stories, the film discussed how to defeat fear, how to overcome oneself and how to get along with oneself. All in all, asfar as Im concerned ,inLife Of Pi, a story happened among a teenager, a tiger and a vast sea, directorAng Lee refined a highly metaphorical life by closed space scheduling, magnificent visual images and the artistic technique of the actual situation and white：how to get along with oneself? There are so many questions left in the film for us to think，which is one of the reasons why I love it. I remember there is a scene in the film, memorable and thought-provoking: At last the Tiger ran to the jungle without looking back“All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say good-bye” ,Pi said.“When people step into the social jungle, dont they also refuse to get back anymore?”, I am thinking . 译文： 从中文片名不难看出，少年派是一部充满奇幻冒险风格的，影片，该片讲述了少年派和一只孟加拉虎在海上漂泊227天的历程。影片在带给我们震撼的视听盛宴同时也引发了我们关于人性和兽性的思考。 从拍摄手法上来看，影片采用了和泰坦尼克号相似的上了年纪的主角叙事给别人的听的手法拍摄。电影开头的大段Pi少年时候的背景故事，一开始看起来似乎有点无聊，但看完后发现前戏都很重要，对理解后面的故事有很大铺垫作用。 从故事层面看，实际上导演李安提供了两个故事供我们选择：一个是少年和老虎的神奇漂流之旅；另一个是作家推断出来的厨子吃了水手，杀死妈妈，然后pi杀死了厨子并吃掉厨子的故事。成年pi没有否认小说家的推断，只是问他喜欢哪个故事，得知对方喜欢第一个故事时，成年pi说对方看见了上帝。 在我看来，我不信上帝。我也觉得探讨哪个故事是真哪个是假没什么意义，影片留给我们自己体会选择的空间岂不是更好？人们似乎都擅长怀疑所有的美好，又拒绝承认现实的残酷。也许正是有了第二个故事，我才更喜欢第一个故事。本片高明的地方便在于此：把一个人间杀戮和复仇故事转化成一个动物世界的弱肉强食以及少年和老虎的友谊故事。通过两个截然不同的故事，影片探讨了是人如何战胜恐惧，战胜自我，如何与自己相处。 总之，在我能够理解的层次来看，少年pi中，一个少年、一只猛虎、一片WY，李安以封闭性的空间调度、瑰丽的视觉影像、虚实相间的艺术手法，提炼了高度隐喻的人生：一个人如何与自己相处？影片留给我们诸多值得思考的问题。这也是我爱它的原因之一。片中有一幕让人难忘并引人思索：最后老虎头也不回向丛林奔去“人生就是不断地放下，然而痛心的是，我还没来得及与你们好好告别。”Pi 说我在想，当人步入社会丛林时，何尝不是决绝忘了回头？
