Life of PI

Did you understand the meaning behind the movie, “Life of PI”? There havebeen a variety of interpretations of the movie. I thought that the movie wasabout the loss of innocence. At the end of the movie, PI told two differentversions of what happened to him during the shipwreck. Which version did youbelieve? Most of the audience believed in the second version, which was aboutPI killing another person in order to survive. The reason why so many of uschose to believe in the second version is because we have lost our innocenceand have become pessimistic realists.

少年派的奇幻漂流！

你明白“少年派的奇幻漂流”这部电影背后的寓意吗？关于这部电影的释义多种多样。我认为这部电影是关于纯真的消失。在电影的尾声，派告诉我们在海难期间发生在他身上的两个不同版本的故事。你相信哪一个版本呢？大部分的观众相信第二个版本，那就是派为了生存而不得不杀掉了另外一个人。为什么如此多的人选择相信第二个版本，是因为我们已经失去了纯真，变成了悲观的现实主义者。
