0379 [Three interpretations]
"Life of Pi, a 3D epic masterpiece, has caused a lot of controversy with an ending." —Los Angeles Times.
The box office of Youth Pi is not outstanding, but under the well-known transmission, the trend of the box office is very stable, and because the movie is an Olympic film, it has a super long release date of several months, and it is not difficult to break 100 million in North America and 500 million in the world.
"I watched the premiere at the opening of the New York Film Festival, and the only feeling was that the picture was really too much! Condole! Finish! The plot is very tight, the climax is stacked, and the 3D effect is not covered! Again, it's really hanging! Netizens sprinkled such comments on time.
"It's also a story about teenagers and adventures, and I have to say that there are more than one or two points about "Hugo", which is better than the old horse. For the first time, the feel of 3D is no longer so commercial. Netizen Idler Geng said.
"I vaguely feel that the tiger has not looked back is my greatest recognition of this film. After the second story is told, the film reaches another level. Life is constantly letting go, and the only thing we can do is say goodbye properly. Netizens Ethan_Mo said.
"I have no regrets after watching this movie before the end of the world, the 3D effect is like a mortar! To Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, 361 degrees of five-body kneeling exhibition! Netizen Xiao Mingwa said.
"Li Yu made a movie this time that can be described as 'the most beautiful', 'darkest' and 'most terrifying' at the same time...... Yes, this "Life of Pi" can also be called "Horror Drifting of the Ghoul Boy...... It is said that Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu worked together to create two great Chinese directors. Joined forces to present a wonderful 3D art commercial film! The netizen lascivious monk said.
These are the viewing feelings of netizens, but what is really hyped is the interpretation of the movie.
Many people began to hype on the Internet, and what Li Yu wanted to express was not the first story, but the second story. The first story belongs to the beautiful version, just the drift of people and animals on the sea. The second story is a dark version, about the life-and-death struggle of four people at sea.
It even extends to a darker third version, the Mother Eater version. The floating islands you encounter at sea are not floating islands at all. Rather, the pie was eating the mother's corpse. That's why the floating island gushes acid and melts the fish and shrimp. Those meerkats are maggots and plants that are born on the body of the mother. It's the musculature of the pie mother......
For these three versions. Which is correct. Netizens quarreled and expressed their opinions. Many famous figures have also joined the list, such as the writer Prince Ma. On the scarf, the long scarf of "Li Eucalyptus's Metaphorical Forest and the Three Stories of the Young Pi" was published, and it was interpreted in detail.
Essentially, Prince Ma also believed in the third version, which was that Pie survived at sea by eating his mother. Because whether it is the first version or the second version, there is a huge flaw, that is, whether the banana can float on the water. The Japanese clerk made it clear that bananas can't float on the water, but the two versions of Pie's story, whether it's an orangutan or a mother, float over with bananas.
And neither the first version nor the second version introduces where the orangutan or the mother's body went. Especially in the second version, the chef is a person who is very obsessed with food, and can eat rats and kill sailors to use as bait, but he kills Pie's mother and throws Pie's mother into the sea to feed the sharks, which is a great waste.
Prince Ma believes that this is a flaw deliberately retained by Li Huan, to remind everyone that the first two versions are fictional.
Moreover, Li Yu is good at various metaphors, for example, in the movie, Pie and Tiger Richard are one group of metaphors, and the other group is the mother and the lotus. At the beginning of the movie, the mother draws a lotus flower for Pie to see, and while drifting, Pie overlooks the bottom of the sea, and the fish turn into lotus flowers, and then form the appearance of his mother. The lotus flower represents the longing for the mother of the party.
There is another person in the film, Ananti, Pie's first love, who uses Ananti's dance to introduce an important metaphor for the "lotus flower in the forest". Pie asks Ananti what he means, but Ananti doesn't say until he goes to Cannibal Island, and Pie plucks a lotus flower and finds a tooth in the flower.
From this, the lotus flower is a longing for the mother, the teeth in the lotus represent the death of the mother, and the entire cannibal island, that is, the mother, the acid gushes out of the island, representing the fate of the mother. Not eaten by sharks, not drowning, but digested by the acid in the stomach......
Li Yu depicts the first story very exquisitely, but he is so stingy with the second story that he doesn't have a single shot, and he is even willing to use metaphors for the third story. He wrapped reality in a beautiful sugar coating, and put a cruel sandwich in reality and handed it to everyone. The writer and the insurance company believed the first story, Pi himself believed the second, and in order to strengthen his beliefs, he even believed in one more Judaism. As for how many layers of candy wrapper the audience is willing to peel off, it's up to them. Prince Ma finally said.
Of course, this is just the words of Prince Ma's family, and there are countless opponents and supporters.
"I was very disappointed with Prince Ma after reading this film review, so it's not okay, Li Yu's story and the emotions expressed are actually obvious and direct. On the contrary, this movie made me even more dislike Li Yu, a typical human with problems with three views. Also, the producer is Shao Shuaijun, a popcorn movie lover, and he expects the movies he supervised to have connotation, nonsense! Netizen Xingyi Streamer objected.
"Upstairs kids, Shao Shuaijun is a famous producer, standing on the Oscars and winning the best picture, he just likes to shoot commercial films and like to make a lot of money at the box office. It doesn't mean that the depth is not enough, no one in "Night Man: Reflection" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" dares to say that this depth is not enough. Netizen Han Zhifeilong resolutely defends Shao Shuaijun's reputation.
"Agree with the cannibal island that is the mother of the pie. First of all, Cannibal Island takes place after the storm, which means that the pie has encountered great difficulties and eats his mother only as a last resort; Secondly, the outline of the island can be interpreted both as the mother of the pie and as Vishnu, who is excusing himself for his mother-eating behavior and Vishnu incarnates as the mother to save him; In the end, Pie took a lot of food from the island when he was out of the island, which couldn't be more clear. Netizens in the palm of the tiger agreed.
"All three stories are fake. Pi escaped by going out for a storm. The mother is not possible. It should be a story of Pi drifting alone, fantasizing every day. Netizen Gai Shiqingtian denied everything.
And there is a cow man who goes down the mountain in the moon, and he even wrote an article "The Emperor of High IQ Logic refutes Prince Ma's "Mother Eating Theory" for you, and reveals the real metaphor of "Cannibal Island" to refute Prince Ma.
In the text, the Moon Mountain Man refutes this, arguing that the lotus flower in Hindu mythology "grew a lotus flower from the navel of Vishnu, on which sat Brahma, who created the world, and then Brahma began to create mankind." Brahma, Saraswati, Lakshmi and other gods sit on lotus flowers. "It's obvious. The lotus flower signifies fertility. And then expressive.
Prince Ma saw Cannibal Island as Vishnu and Pai's mother, but not as Pai's first love, Ananti. In fact, Pie is a man who is bored at sea. Masturbate by yourself. Meerkats can be seen as maggots. Why can't it be seen as a sperm worm? A little masturbation. The lotus flower in the forest is indeed death, so it is said that the ashes are extinguished......
In a word. This controversy gradually turned a skewed building.
But there is no denying that "Life of Pi" has become popular.
……
2012 was not a year of big news and big stories. Originally, everyone was waiting for the moment when the world was destroyed, but rumors are rumors after all, and when you open your eyes, life goes on, dull and boring.
However, in the film industry, it is a year worth mentioning. In China, Shao Shuaijun produced and wrote the screenplay, Xu Zheng directed and starred Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang in the small-budget comedy "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand", which was a blockbuster and the momentum of the fire made the entire Chinese film circle stunned.
More than 200 million yuan in the first week, more than 200 million yuan in the second week, and ...... in the third week The entire box office trend is heading towards the 1 billion yuan mark, surpassing "Old Boy" as the champion of Chinese films, and it seems that there is no difficulty at all.
In North America, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" produced and distributed by Summit Entertainment exceeded $500 million at the box office in two weeks, heading for the $1 billion mark worldwide, intending to become the fourth film to break $1 billion worldwide in 2012.
Previously, "The Avengers" was $1.67 billion worldwide.
With Shao Shuaijun, the great director known as the Hollywood twin stars, Christopher. The final installment of the dark trilogy directed by Nolan, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", which started in a dangerous incident of a shooting murder, achieved a global box office of $1.084 billion, which is Nolan's second film to break $1 billion worldwide.
Moreover, the reputation of the rise of the Dark Knight is beyond imagination. Some people even commented that compared with Nolan's Black Rider series, the movies created by the Marvel Cinematic Universe are as childish as a child. Including the Women's Federation directed by Shao Shuaijun, in terms of connotation and shock, it has also been evaluated by countless people, which is much worse than the black horse.
Of course, people who like black riding will pull up the black riding infinitely, but there are many people who don't like black riding, at least in terms of entertainment, black riding is much worse than the Women's Federation, and the box office is a proof. On Rotten Tomatoes, the reputation of the Black Rider is not as good as that of the Women's Federation, and it is not as good as that of the second "Batman: The Dark Knight". Ledger's god-level performance, Rise of the Black Rider doesn't have much madness to remember.
Anyway, this year, Shao Shuaijun and Nolan were still mentioned side by side, and no one could surpass anyone.
The third film to break $1 billion globally this year is "007: Skyfall" co-produced by Summit Entertainment and United American Films, with $1.108 billion worldwide. The excellence of the film's production, coupled with the fact that this year is the 50th anniversary of 007, has been able to reach such heights in one fell swoop.
While paying attention to the box office, the battle of the Olympic films has also become the most concerned topic of the media.
"Life of Pi" was previously released and received $500 million at the global box office and rave reviews. On media outlets such as Rotten Tomatoes, Juvenile Pi has achieved an incredible number of negative reviews, all of which are positive. Therefore, in the awards season in December, the youth school almost swept the major awards, and Li Yu once again won the award and got a weak hand.
In addition to Life Pi, Ben. Affleck directed and starred in "Escape from Tehran", which is also a big hit at this year's Oscars. Interestingly, this handsome guy, who starred in "Daredevil" back then, had good and bad acting performances, but as a director, he was so good that people were jealous, and he directed three movies, all of which were well received.
In short, at the end of 2012, major magazines, newspapers and other media are taking stock of the past year, a lot of influential news, especially in the film industry, major magazines have begun to produce lists, voting for the best film of the year, TOP10 or TOP20. (To be continued......)
