My Reflection on Life of Pi

A couple of days ago, I saw the film Life of Pi. Frankly speaking, it’s really a wonderful film and worth watching.

The whole story begins in Montreal where it

also ends. A Writer seeking his inspiration hears

something legendary occurring to Pi. Pi told him an incredible story: accompanied by a Bengal tiger called Richard Parker, a 17-year-old boy succeeded in sailing across the Pacific and arriving in Mexico. But things didn’t end here. Then Pi told him another story, a story similar to the former one but he changed animal roles into humans.

However, there is only one truth. From my point of view, I think the second story is the truth. The first story is just the second story’s metaphor. The former is fantastic but lack of evidences to support it. While, the latter is cruel but full of rationality. As we all know, the story is related to so much, such as religion, humanity, reality, nature of goodness, and social law, which make the story philosophical and

complicated. In the film, Pi’s father once said: “science

can teach us more about what is out there, but not what is in there.”I am a nullifidian, so I have a deep faith in science.

Just because of my belief, I choose the

latter. It is cruel and disgusting. Richard Parker, the

tiger’s name, is the name of a real person who was eaten by his fellowmen after they encountered the marine in 1884. And in the second story of the film, Pi ate his mother. In my opinion, though it’s immoral, it’s the instinct of seeking survival under the hopeless situation. While the story taken place in the cook, sailor, Pi’s

mother and Pi is the reflection of humanity and social law. It’s no denying that human have the side of goodness. However, we have the side of evil, too. A famous English poet once wrote down the words: “In me the tiger sniffe the rose.” It’s the best illustration of the duplicity of humanity.

As far as I am concerned, the most

expressive words in the film is: “All of life in an act of letting to go but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.”

We should learn to cherish what we own. Besides, once starting, do not give up easily.

Watch Life of Pi

Class 17 Grade 7 Jiaming Mao

I watched a film called Life of Pi in this winter holidays.I think that it must be a great film.

Pi is an Indian boy.At first his name is Picine.He doesn’t like this name.So everyone calls him Pi.It meansπ.

Pi’s father had a zoo.There were many animals in it.Pi got on well with these animals.When Pi was 17 years old,his father decided to move his family to Canada.So his whole family went to Canada with some animals by ship.His father wanted to sell these animals for a high price. On the way to Canada,the ship was broken by the strom.Only Pi and four animals survived on a lifeboat. These animals included a tiger,a zebra,a hyena and an orangutan. The hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan.but it was killed by the tiger. The tiger’s name was Richard Parke.

In the next 227 days Pi and Richard Parke drifted on the ocean. At first they were wary of each other. Pi shared the food with Richard Parke. They experienced storms and passed by the ogre island together.Pi had come to know that Richard Parke also had feelings. At the same time, he believed that the God was looking at him and always blessed him. At last the lifeship drifted at Mexico. Richard Parke went away without turning his head when they was saved. Pi was very sad.

After I watched this film I thought a lot. Can I be calm like Pi if I sail a boat with a tiger?And do you think the god is looking at you anytime?The film also tells me that we must have the courage to face difficulties and got on well with each other.
