少年派的奇幻漂流观后感(英文)

Life of Pi was released in 2012 and could be called a classic one. That year I was a middle school student having not much spare time for movies. So when my friends skipped to the movie theater for this famous movie, I lost the first chance to watch it as soon as possible. This classic movie appreciation course I took recently gave me opportunity to view this worldwide-known movie----Life of Pi.

I indulged in the movie during the class, and felt so impressed after it. So I watched it again in the dormitory. Then I found another story in this movie, which was greatly different from the whole story intending to tell. With the help from internet, I was surprised by the second unrecovered story buried deeply inside.

For the first story, which is very obvious and impressive, the movie tells us a story of how an Indian boy survived a marine peril, and floated in the sea with a Bengal tiger. Richard Parker is a royal Bengal tiger who is stranded on the lifeboat with Pi when the ship sinks. Richard Parker lives on the lifeboat with Pi and is kept alive with the food and water Pi delivers. Richard Parker develops a relationship with Pi that allows them to coexist in their struggle.1 The bravery and the viability of Pi were the most unforgettable factors in the movie. I enjoyed seeing how he looked for food, collected drinking water, trained the tiger, also how he faced the storm. All in all, in my first watching, it was totally a surviving story. So I almost ignore the beginning of the movie about his childhood and

family, and the end of the movie about the procedure he accepted the interview by two Japanese. After searching on the internet for audience’s comments, I was astonished when someone explained that the second story that Pi told to those Japanese was actually the true fact. Then the analysis below may shock you as well.

In the second story, there was no animal surviving, but cook, sailor, Pi’s mother and Pi. The sailor was injured at first, then cook killed him and ate his body. Pi made the cook angry, and when he intended to beat Pi, his mother tried to protect him. And she was killed by the cook, which broke Pi’s heart. Pi killed the cook in return. When telling this version, Pi tore and tore, saying “he was such an evil man, what’s the wor se is that he brought the evil in me, and I have to live with that.”2 We can tell that the second version is the truly fact, because when Pi was telling the first story, which the movie showed to us, he was in a peace and cool way, like telling a made-up story. But when Pi covered the second one, he could not help tearing and sobbing. Apparently, that is the way of telling an authentic experience. By comparing these two versions, we may find that the zebra was the sailor, Pi’s mother was the orangutan, and the hyena was the cook. Pi, surprisingly, was the Bengal tiger.

Actually, not for once, the movie told us that Pi was the Bengal tiger. Besides the comparison of two stories, we could find other clues, telling us that Pi was the Bengal tiger. When Pi was a kid, he went to the church
