Her is a 2013 American science-fiction romantic drama film written, directed, and produced by Spike Jonze. It marks Jonze’s solo screenwriting debut.
The film follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), an artificially intelligent assistant through a female voice.
Today I want to talk about the first film version of this work.
Life of Pi is based on Matel’s world-famous novel of the same name. It’s directed by Hollywood Chinese DirectorAng Lee, the film follows Pi and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker as they drift for 227 days at sea.
Which of the three stories in the film do you feel you can relate to from your experiences of suffering in the past?
The first story is the most beautiful and spectacular part of the film, that is, the story of Pi drifting alone with the Bengal tiger, both co-existing and helping each other. Many viewers would like to believe this story.
The Japanese insurance company used the fact that the island does not exist to force the truth out of Pi. He then re-told the story to include his mother, the cook, and a sailor.
Even more desperate and dark is the story that the narrator does not tell, the plots hidden in the gaps of the narrative.
Through a careful reading of Ang Lee’s narrative, I’ve fleshed out the hidden story into a logical third story, which I will reveal at the end of the video.
Based on the idea that the Cannibal is the shape of the mother’s body, we can also make the following rational assumptions: Under the most extreme circumstances, the animal in Pi was wild, and in one of the darkest and most brutal moments of human nature, he ate his mother’s body.
Pi finally got saved and the tiger went into the forest without looking back, which signified the disappearance of the beast from Pi’s soul. The balance of good and evil, the beauty and the ugliness in human nature, were restored.
That’s why he broke down and cried when he was rescued.
“I have a tiger in my heart, and a rose in my nose”
says the English poet Sason.
We all have a tiger inside of us but we often are unwilling to look into ourselves or see into the hearts of others. The animal in our deep hearts often leaves us with a chilling sense of madness and barbarism.
The movie reflects the unpredictable nature of the human heart in extreme situations through the blind worship and devotion of religion. In the face of life and death, even religion is illusory.
People are double-faced, that is to say, good and evil, beauty and ugliness coexist, people can have more than one perspective on a matter.
Life of Pi has been read more than watched, and the reading of the classics is one of the pleasures in life.
Do you have a different interpretation of Life of Pi? Which story would you rather believe?

Amateur stuntman Rod Kimble has a problem–his
step-father Frank is a jerk. Frank picks on Rod, tosses him around like a rag
doll in their weekly sparring sessions and definitely doesn’t respect him, much
less his stunts. But, when Frank falls ill, it’s up to Rod to stage the jump of
his life in order to save his step-father. The plan: Jump 15 buses, raise the
money for Frank’s heart operation, and then… kick his ass.
One of Hong Kong’s top screen comics, Stephen Chow, co-wrote, co-directed, and headlines this three-way blend of sports, action, and humor. Sing (Stephen Chow) is a modern-day Shaolin monk who has become a master of traditional fighting skills, and is renowned for his “leg of steel.” However, these days there isn’t much call for a Shaolin warrior, and Sing and his fellow monks earn their keep working menial jobs until a soccer coach gets the bright idea of translating Sing’s talent for kicking to the soccer field. Sing becomes the lynchpin of a team playing in a tournament that could net them a $1 million purse, but even with Sing’s footwork, beating the steroid-fueled champions will be no easy task. Shaolin Soccer also features Man Tat Ng and Vicki Zhao.
In this film, the matchless W. C. Fields plays Egbert Souse, a bibulous denizen of Lompoc who supports his family by winning radio contests. While drinking his breakfast at the Black Pussy Cafe, Souse is invited by a movie production manager to finish directing a picture being shot in Lompoc.
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the
adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel
between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted
friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance
painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune — all against the
back-drop ofa suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. I quite like the
colours in this movie.
I like and recommend this film very much. It’s a story of a middle-aged loser (Teng Shen qv) who finds himself magically transported back to his high school years, enabling him to fix all his life’s mistakes.
Two friends embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash, and a funeral that goes, ridiculously out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend — the impressible free-thinker Rancho, who is in unique way, touched and changed their lives…
Lost in Thailand is the story of two rival

revolutionary new in-house technology for control of their company. If Xu wins,
his future will be secured. The critical task is to secure control over the
shares of the chairman, who is at a retreat in Thailand. Xu catches the first
plane to Bangkok, where he meets the happy-go-lucky Wang (Wang Baoqiang), an
unexpected travel companion who will open his eyes to life’s true priorities.
Drum beat….The last one I would recommend today is called Oh My God! ,which is directed by Umesh Shukla. Kanji is an atheist whose life takes an ugly turn when an earthquake destroys his antique shop. He, however, does not give up hope and decides to sue God.
