"'Life of Pi,' a 3D epic masterpiece, has an ending that has caused widespread controversy." - "Los Angeles Times".
The opening box office of Pi was not great, but due to word of mouth, the box office trend is very stable. And because the movie is a film competing for the Olympics, it has a long release date of several months. It has exceeded 100 million in North America and exceeded 100 million globally.
Five hundred million is not difficult.
“I watched the premiere at the opening of the New York Film Festival, and the only feeling I had was that the picture was so amazing! The plot was very tight, and the plot was super-stacked, and the 3D effect was not overwhelming! Let me say it again, it was really amazing!
!" Netizens commented on it on time.
"It is also a story about teenagers and adventure. I have to say that it is better than Lao Ma's "Hugo" in more than one or two points. For the first time, the 3D feeling is no longer so commercial." Netizen Xianren Geng said.
"I vaguely feel that Tiger Didn't Look Back is my greatest recognition of the film. After the second story was told, the film reached another level. Life is about letting go, and the only thing we can do is to say goodbye properly.
"Netizen ethan_mo said.
"I have no regrets after watching this movie before the end of the world. The 3D effect is like a mortar! Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, kneeling down in admiration at 361 degrees!" said netizen Xiao Mingwa.
"This time Li Yu made a movie that can be described as 'the most beautiful', 'the darkest' and 'the scariest' at the same time... Yes, this "Life of Pi" can also be called "The Life of Pi"
"The Horror Drifting"...It is said that it was jointly created by Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, two great Chinese directors. They jointly created a wonderful 3D art commercial film!" Netizen Monk said.
These are netizens’ feelings about watching movies, but what is really hot is the interpretation of the movie.
Many people started to speculate on the Internet. What Li Yu wanted to express was not the first story, but the second story. The first story is a beautiful version, just people and animals drifting on the sea. The second story is darkness.
The version is a life-and-death fight between four people at sea.
It even extends to the darker third version, the mother-eating version. The floating island encountered in the sea is not a floating island at all. Instead, Pie is eating the body of his mother. Therefore, this floating island will gush out acid to kill the fish.
The shrimp melted. Those meerkats were the maggots born from Mother Pi's body, and those plants were the muscle tissue of Mother Pi...
Netizens were quarreling over which of these three versions was correct and expressed their opinions. Many famous figures also joined in, such as the writer Ma Prince. On the scarf, he published "Li Yu's Metaphorical Forest and the Boy Pi"
"Three Stories" long scarf, detailed explanation.
In essence, Prince Ma also believes in the third version, which is that Pi relies on eating mothers to survive at sea. Because whether it is the first version or the second version, there is a huge flaw, that is, bananas
Can it float on the water? The Japanese staff made it clear that bananas cannot float on the water, but in the two versions of Pi's story, both the orangutan and the mother floated over on a banana.
Moreover, neither the first version nor the second version introduces where the body of the orangutan or the mother went. Especially in the second version, the chef is a person who is very obsessed with food. He can eat rats and cook sailors.
He killed her as bait, but he killed Pi's mother and instead threw her into the sea to feed the sharks. This was a huge waste.
Prince Ma believed that this was a flaw that Li Yu deliberately kept to remind everyone that the previous two versions were fictional.
Moreover, Li Yu is good at all kinds of metaphors. For example, in the movie, Pi and Tiger Richard are one metaphor, and the other is mother and lotus. At the beginning of the movie, her mother drew a lotus for Pi to see. While drifting, Pi looked down.
At the bottom of the sea, a school of fish turned into lotus flowers, and then formed the appearance of the mother. The lotus flower represents the longing for the party's mother.
There is another person in the movie, Anandi, Pi's first love. Anandi's dance leads to an important metaphor "Lotus in the Forest". Pi asked Anandi what he meant, but Anandi didn't say anything until he went to the cannibal island.
, Pai picked off a lotus flower and found a tooth in the flower, and then he suddenly realized.
From this, it can be deduced that the lotus is the longing for the mother, and the teeth in the lotus represent the death of the mother. The entire cannibal island is the mother, and the acid gushes out of the island represents the fate of the mother. It is not eaten by sharks.
He didn't die by drowning, but by being digested by the acid in his stomach...
"Li Yu painted the first story extremely beautifully, but was so stingy about not even taking a single shot of the second story, and even only used metaphors to carry the third story. He wrapped the reality in beautiful sugar-coating,
Then he put a cruel sandwich into reality and handed it to everyone. The writer and the insurance company believed the first story, but Pi himself believed the second one. In order to strengthen his belief, he even believed in Judaism. As for the audience
It's up to them whether they are willing to peel off the layers of candy wrappers," Prince Ma finally said.
Of course, this is just what Prince Ma says, and there are countless opponents and supporters.
"I was very disappointed with Prince Ma after reading this movie review. It's just too confusing. Li Yu's story and the emotions expressed are actually very obvious and direct. On the contrary, this movie made me dislike Li Yu even more. A typical three views
Human beings have problems. Also, the producer is Shao Shuaijun, a popcorn movie lover. It’s bullshit to expect the movie he produces to have content!” Netizen Xingyi Streamer objected.
"Children upstairs, Shao Shuaijun is a famous producer who won the Best Picture at the Oscars. He just likes to make commercial films and earn a lot of money at the box office. It does not mean that he is not deep enough. "Nighthawks: Reflection", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
"No one dares to say that this depth is not enough." Netizen Han Zhifeilong firmly defended Shao Shuaijun's reputation.
"I agree that the cannibal island is Pi's mother. First of all, the cannibal island happened after the storm, which means that Pi encountered great difficulties and ate his mother as a last resort; secondly, the outline of the island can be interpreted as Pi's mother.
, it can also be interpreted as Vishnu, Pi was excusing his mother-eating behavior, and Vishnu transformed into a mother to save him; finally, Pi took a lot of food from the island when he left the island. This meaning is very clear.
Yes." Netizen Palm Tiger agreed.
"The three stories are all false. Pi escaped because he went out to a storm. His mother could not have appeared. It should be a story about Pi drifting alone and fantasizing about it every day." Netizen Gai Shi Qingtian denied everything.
Moreover, there is an outstanding person who even wrote an article "The High-IQ Logic Emperor Refutes Prince Ma's "Mother-eating Theory" and Reveals the Real Metaphor of "Cannibal Island"" to refute Prince Ma.
In the article, Yuexiashanren refuted this. He believed that the lotus flower in Indian mythology, "A lotus flower grew from Vishnu's navel, and on it sat Brahma, who created the world, and then Brahma began to create humans. Brahma, Sara
Swati, Lakshmi and other gods are seated on lotuses." It is obvious that lotus represents fertility, which in turn represents sex.
Prince Ma regarded the cannibal island as Vishnu and as Pi's mother, except that he did not regard Anandi as Pi's first love. In fact, Pi was bored alone at the sea and masturbating by himself. Meerkats can do it.
See it as a maggot. Why can't you see it as a sperm worm? Xiaolu Yiqing. The lotus in the forest is indeed dead, so it is said that Qianlu will disappear into ashes...
In short, this debate is gradually going awry.
But there is no denying that "Life of Pi" has become popular.
…
2012 is not a year with big news or stories. Originally, everyone was waiting for the moment when the world will be destroyed, but rumors are just rumors after all. When you open your eyes, life continues, plain and boring.
However, in the film industry, it is a year worth mentioning. In China, the small-budget comedy "The Journey to Thailand", produced and written by Shao Shuaijun, directed by Xu Zheng and starring Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, has become an overwhelming hit.
The film was released and the momentum was so great that the entire Chinese film industry was 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. It seems that it is not difficult to surpass "Oldboy" as the Chinese film champion.
In North America, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" produced and distributed by Summit Entertainment has exceeded US$500 million at the box office in two weeks, heading towards the global US$1 billion mark. It is intended to become the fourth global film to break the 10-year mark in 2012.
billion dollar movie.
Previously, "Avengers" had a global revenue of 1.67 billion.
The last part of the dark series trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, who is as famous as Shao Shuaijun and is known as the twin star of Hollywood, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" started in a dangerous incident of a shooting murder and achieved global success.
With a box office of 1.084 billion U.S. dollars, this is Nolan's second film to break 1 billion U.S. dollars globally.
Moreover, the reputation of The Dark Knight Rises is beyond imagination. Some people even commented that compared with Nolan's Dark Knight series, the movies created by the Marvel Cinematic Universe are as childish as children playing house. Including those directed by Shao Shuaijun
The Women's Federation has also been evaluated by countless people in terms of connotation and shocking power, and is much worse than Black Knight.
Of course, people who like Black Rider will elevate Black Rider infinitely higher, but there are also many people who don’t like Dark Rider. At least in terms of entertainment, Dark Rider is much worse than Women’s Federation, and the box office is proof of that. On Rotten Tomatoes, Black Rider ranks
The reputation of "The Dark Knight" is not as good as that of the Women's Federation, and compared to Heath Ledger's divine performance in the second "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises" does not have much craziness worth remembering.
In any case, this year, Shao Shuaijun and Nolan were still mentioned side by side, and neither could surpass the other.
The third film to break the $1 billion mark globally this year is "Skyfall" jointly produced by Summit Entertainment and United Artists Films, with a global sales of $1.108 billion. The film's production is excellent, and this year is the 50th anniversary of 007.
, only with the help of the two shareholders can we reach such heights in one fell swoop.
While paying attention to the box office, the battle between films competing for the Olympics has also become a topic of greatest concern to the media.
"The Life of Pi" was previously released, earning a global box office of US$500 million and receiving rave reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes and other media, "Life of Pi" has received incredible reviews, all of which are positive. Therefore, the December awards ceremony
In this season, Youth Pie almost swept all the major awards, and Li Yu won the award again and his hands felt weak.
In addition to Pi, Ben Affleck directed and starred in "Escape from Tehran", which is also a big favorite for this year's Oscars. What's interesting is that this handsome guy starred in "Daredevil" and his acting performance is sometimes good.
Shi Bao, as a director, is so good that people can envy him. 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 many influential news that happened in the past year, especially in the film industry. Major magazines have begun to make lists and vote for the annual
