Chapter 610 The drunkard doesn’t care about the wine
Li Binbin updated his article on "The Life of Pi" on his blog.
Fan Binbin's blog also published a review about watching "Life of Pi" shortly afterwards.
"Before talking about the movie Young Pi, we need to presuppose several premises. These premises are like those axioms in mathematics, from which all deductions and all reasoning come. If we cannot reach a consensus at the starting point, then They will only go their separate ways and go farther and farther.”
"First: Young Pi's novel belongs to Jan Martel, and Young Pi's movie belongs to Director Wang. Director Wang's movie is based on the original work, but it is different. He retained the story framework, made changes, additions and deletions, and mixed it into It changes into something else by acquiring the Wang gene.”
"Second: Adult Pi actor Irrfan Khan said in an interview: 'This film appears to be a juvenile adventure story, but actually it hides many metaphors. It has many parallel spaces and many levels. 'In other words, this is an allegorical story in which the metaphors are restrained and concise, and the mapping relationship between them is very obvious. ”
"Third:"
"No more gossip, let's start with that dinner."
"At the beginning of the movie, Pi, who believes in Hinduism, Christianity and Islam at the same time, had a conversation with his father and mother at dinner. This conversation is very important. It is the first preview of the entire theme of the film."
"The father of young Pi said: 'If you believe in three religions at the same time, it is equivalent to believing in nothing. Instead of that, it is better to choose to believe in reason and science... I would rather you deny me after careful consideration than blindly and indiscriminately. Accept. '"
"And my mother said: 'Science solves external problems, not internal ones.'"
"It actually implies that reason and faith play different roles. The former solves practical problems, while the latter solves spiritual problems - it should be noted that the mother's words actually became the psychological source of all Pi's subsequent actions."
"The background of the two people is mentioned in the movie: the father was saved a life by modern medicine, so he believes in science, which represents reason; the mother is inclined to religion, which represents faith. The movie also specifically emphasizes that the mother abandoned the family to follow his father, Faith is her only link to the past.”
"The father and mother have different opinions, and the young Pi is faced with a choice. To be rational or to have faith, this is a classic dilemma in the spiritual field. The final choice made by the young Pi is: 'I decided to be baptized.'"
< br>
"In other words, he chose the latter, which means he agreed with his mother's words."
"But faith requires piety. Pi is not a pious person, he is a pantheist. The adult Pi's discussion shows that what he needs is a supernatural and supreme power as a basis for faith. As for whether it is God or Allah It doesn’t matter whether he is Vishnu or not. It can be said that in his consciousness, he believes in faith itself, not in a specific god.”
"For a devout person, he chooses faith to solve problems. But for a person like Pi, he chooses faith just to escape from problems. For him, faith is not a specific object of worship, but a sustenance and a place to escape. Space.”
"That's why, Pi tells two stories."
"A fantasy story can be wild and unrestrained; but a real story must conform to reality. The first story has a cannibal island, which is a tropical jungle in the deep sea, with countless desert creatures in the middle. Meerkats. Desert and sea, these are two completely different images.”
"So, the first story is Pi's fantasy, and the second story is real and rational. But Pi can't solve the torment the second cruel story brings to his heart, so he can only escape to the first In this story, you can transform the victims around you into various animals in order to calm yourself - just as my mother said at dinner, reason solves the external problem, and faith solves the internal problem. In fact, it was a prophecy that he decided to escape.”
"In this film, Director Wang has two ways to guide the audience to subtly become aware of the existence of metaphors. One is to preview. Before every big action, there will be a small action as a preview; the other is to let the ontology and metaphor Repeatedly, it strengthens the connection between the two, and then reveals the fate of the ontology by constructing the relationship between metaphors.”
"Some people say that the tiger represents fear. I think it should go one step further and represent Pi's instinctive emotions. In the first story, Pi split himself into two, and he represents human nature or rationality. The tiger is stripped of rationality. Primitive instinct - instinctive anger, instinctive fear, unabashed expression of one's crudest desires."
"But is the second story really reasonable?"
"Recall the process of the second story: Pi, mother, sailor and cook boarded the lifeboat. The sailor was injured and soon died. The cook ate him. Then Pi accidentally let go of a turtle and was beaten by the cook. Mother Argued with the chef and was killed by the chef. The chef threw his mother's body into the sea and fed it to the sharks. Pi killed the chef out of anger and ate him."
"In this story, various elements correspond perfectly to the first story. Mother = orangutan, chef = hyena, sailor = zebra, tiger = Pi's instinct. It seems perfect and reasonable, even the most rational insurance company. I almost agree, but there are two flaws.”
"The first flaw is the banana."
“When Pi told the first story, he said that the orangutan came sitting on a floating banana. The insurance investigator immediately pointed out that bananas do not float. When Pi told the second story, he did not change this detail and still insisted on it. Said mother came on a floating banana ”
"It doesn't matter whether the banana floats in reality. In the world of the movie, the insurance investigator points out that the banana cannot float. This represents a common sense, and its function is to draw out the counter-common sense in the story Pi tells. The internal logic is self-consistent.”
"The second flaw is mother's death."
"The chef is a person who is very obsessed with food. He will eat rats and kill sailors to use the meat as fish bait. For him, every piece of meat is extremely precious. But after my mother died, the cook did not eat her , thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks - this is a waste, especially since the chef has already eaten the sailor. For him, the biggest psychological barrier has been removed, and there is no reason to do this wasteful behavior."
< br>
"The second story itself is already very complete, but it has these two rather eye-catching snake legs. In fact, they are also labels deliberately retained to remind the audience that the second story is not true, at least. Concealing part of the truth.”
Fan Binbin’s blog post was just published, and it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
ID Bubble Binbin: Who ghostwrote this? At first glance, it doesn’t look like something Binbin could write.
Haizi with ID fee bangs: Haha, I just saw Li Binbin’s blog, and I was wondering if Fan Binbin would also update his blog? Sure enough, he actually published such a long article.
ID: I'm the one you can't get: I haven't watched it for a long time. To sum up, Director Wang asked me to play the heroine in the next film.
The ID dreamer is here: Gee, he deserves to be the youngest Oscar-winning director in history. This new film has just been released, and the four ice creams have started to lick it. Waiting for Zhou Xun, Zhao Yanzi and others to follow closely. .
ID: It's your fault for letting me go: Wow~ Binbin is so awesome. What you said is what I want to say, but I don't have the literary talent like you.
In fact, since Fan Binbin opened her blog, many netizens who often follow her know that the articles on Fan Binbin's blog are basically not written by herself, but are ghostwritten by others.
Because many of the content, techniques, words and sentences are different, it is obvious that it was not written by one person.
As this phenomenon increases day by day, many netizens have come to understand that it must be a ghostwriter from within a certain company.
In fact, Fan Binbin has a very bad reputation in the industry. She is unpopular in terms of both her art and character. She is eager for quick success, unscrupulous, snobbish, and arrogant. These are the common impressions people in the industry have of her.
These characters are very consistent with her image as a little girl.
Because of this, he offended many people.
It's just that in a place like the entertainment industry, as long as your career is at its peak, you will be surrounded by good people.
This is exactly what Fan Binbin is currently experiencing.
Her career is on the rise, and she is surrounded by compliments and compliments. She lives among the compliments every day.
This made her even more arrogant.
Of course, because of snobbery, it is impossible to be arrogant in front of everyone.
For example, when facing Wang Shu, he was very polite.
As Li Binbin and Fan Binbin published blog posts about "Life of Pi" on Sina, Zhang Ziyi also updated a film review about "Life of Pi" on Sohu Space.
Originally, Zhang Ziyi's official website was on Sina, but later "moved" to Sohu and opened "Ziyi Space" on the Sohu blog.
As for Zhang Ziyi, who was doing well in Sina, why did she “move” to Sohu
In fact, Sohu "bought" the official website from Zhang Ziyi at a price of about 1.5 million yuan per year.
Not only that, because celebrities such as Zhang Ziyi have a lot of negative news, after the celebrities cooperate with large portals, the websites will try to publish as little negative news as possible and give as much positive content as possible.
After Zhang Ziyi moved to Sohu, she opened not a blog, but a personal space with the ability to close comments.
On Sina Blog, it cannot be closed.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Ziyi arrived at Sohu, she turned off the netizen comment function.
Due to the lack of interactivity, the number of visits to the space has been greatly reduced.
"Last night after watching "The Life of Pi" and lying in bed, I couldn't help but think about the plot of Pi."
"The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. I was so scared that I couldn't even straighten my legs."
"Until now, I'm still a little bit shocked."
"The truth that Director Wang hesitates to reveal behind the many details is really an extremely dark and cruel story."
"Director Wang is like building an extremely magical and beautiful garden, allowing you to play in it and revel in the friendship between various people and animals, such as luminous whales and so on."
"But when you were satisfied and about to leave the cinema, he suddenly took you to a small door and told you that actually what I wanted you to see was this." "Then he put the key into your hand and turned around and left. .”
"If you drive in, you're going to see something so, so scary that you'll never forget it."
"Actually, the following story is the truth."
"Pi, the cook, the Buddhist, and his mother boarded the lifeboat together. The cook first killed the Buddhist, then killed the mother, cut off her head and threw it into the sea."
"After Pi saw his mother being killed, he killed the cook in anger."
"After that, he drifted alone on the sea for more than 7 months until he was rescued."
"What did he survive on? Of course the corpses of the dead."
"At first, he just ate the cooks and Buddhists. After the storm, he fell into a coma and felt that he was really going to die."
"So he ended up eating mom."
"That storm was actually the fierce struggle he experienced in his heart."
"After the storm, he drifted to an island in a coma. The island was densely populated with meerkats. Things would rot at night, including human teeth."
"Actually, the island is my mother's body, so it often looks very eerie in the camera."
"His last supply is his mother's rotten body that is even covered with maggots."
"Because the truth was too cruel, Pi couldn't accept it, so he developed a split personality."
"Split personality is usually caused by something happening that the person involved cannot accept, so in order to protect himself from a mental breakdown, he imagines that it happened to someone else."
"Because I am too obsessed with believing in the person I imagined, I often enter into another personality unconsciously."
"For example, there is a book called "24 Personalities", an autobiography of a person with split personality."
"Tiger is the split personality of the Youth Pi."
"And he repackaged all the terrible things. He imagined the dead people as various animals, and blamed his cannibalism on the tiger, imagining that the tiger ate some animals."
"The feeding of mother's head to sharks was imagined by him as a school of fish at the bottom of the sea turning into mother."
"Eating mother's body is imagined as finding supplies on an island."
"All these things can support him to survive."
"At night, turn off the lights, lie in bed and think about the time the boy spent at sea."
"For more than 200 nights, I drifted alone on the endless sea, hungry and cold, isolated and helpless."
"The sea is like a black mirror, cold and ruthless."
"There are several human corpses in the cabin, headless, cut into pieces, and bleeding all over the floor. Among them is my mother's body. Just thinking about it makes me almost collapse."
"Pi still relies on these to survive!"
"So he had to keep making up stories for himself and repeating the tiger fairy tale to himself."
"I repeated it countless times until I believed it. In fact, he was already a profound psychopath at that time."
"I think of "Mulholland Drive", it's very similar to this Pi."
"That movie was about an actress who killed her lover, and then in her dream, she imagined that they were still together. When she finally woke up, she couldn't stand the destruction of her dream, so she pulled out a gun and committed suicide."
"As for Pi, he daydreamed for more than 200 days."
"In the end, he survived tenaciously."
"He let the tiger leave him, walked into the jungle without looking back, and buried the darkest things in his heart forever."
"So this is definitely a crueler story than 'Mulholland Drive.'"
"Because living is always more difficult than dying."
"Think about Wang Shu's appearance, his innocent appearance and easy-going personality, his words are so elegant and gentle, and he is friendly to everything."
"But deep down in his heart, he must deeply understand what cruelty is!"
"Richard Parker was a victim of a real shipwreck in history, a 17-year-old boy."
"He and three other people got on the lifeboat and were eventually killed and eaten by the three people who conspired to kill him."
"But in Director Wang's story, he was asked to eat the other three people."
"It's cruel, but it's true."
"Perhaps, this is human nature!"
Many netizens came across Zhang Ziyi's film review and wanted to comment, but they couldn't because the comment function was turned off.
One by one, they were in a hurry.
Because Zhang Ziyi's film review seems to be analyzing "Life of Pi", but in the eyes of netizens, the drunkard's intention is not the wine, but Wang Shu.
I want to use this method to get the opportunity to collaborate with Wang Shu in an art film and win an Oscar.
That's why I went to great lengths to write such a film review. There was even a hint of praise for Wang Shu between the lines, as if I was afraid that Wang Shu wouldn't notice.
Since Zhang Ziyi's reputation was already very poor, many netizens wanted to make fun of her.
Sorry, I can’t comment!
Deng Chao was calling Sun Li at the moment, and he said: "Lili, have you not opened a blog?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Sun Li was confused after receiving the call.
Not only did she not open a blog, but she also did not open a weekly newsletter. Many people in the entertainment industry did not open this thing.
In mid-August this year, Sina launched Weibo.
Once it went online, the number of users grew rapidly.
It’s just that at the beginning of the launch, the usage rate of celebrities was not high.
Neither Sun Li nor Zhou Xun has opened it at the moment.
"Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, and Li Binbin from Four Dancing Stars all posted movie reviews about "Life of Pi" on their blogs. Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi did not publish, it seems because they did not open blogs." Deng Chao explained.
When Sun Li heard this, she was still full of doubts and asked: "What happened to them publishing movie reviews?"
"Well, I won't be able to explain it to you for a while. You can go to the computer and take a look and you will understand." Deng Chao said eagerly, "Anyway, they are all drunkards who don't care about drinking!"
