At the beginning of a person's life, nature is evil.

Recently I watched the previous popular movie "Life of Pi", which won an Oscar for director Li.

Just like translating the Chinese name "Fantasy drifting of the teenage school", this movie tells the story of a teenage fantasy drifting experience over 95% of the time: sinking of a ship, A young man survived a rescue ship with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a tiger. the hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan, And the tiger killed the hyena, then the young man and the tiger fought and survived together and floated onto the coast. Because the story is too fantastic, less than 5% of the film's remaining
Another version of drifting experience was introduced in the time: Except for teenagers who jumped onto the raft, they were no longer animals, but sailors, mothers, and chefs. The chefs killed sailors and mothers, and he was killed by teenagers. Moreover, the film clearly tells the audience that the zebra corresponds to the sailors, the orangutan corresponds to the mother, the hyena corresponds to the cook, and the tiger corresponds to the teenager. So where do you think is a real story? Where do you want to believe in?

As a matter of fact, we all know that the story behind us is true, but we would rather trust the story. In my opinion, tigers in movies are the animal nature of human beings, that is, the ferocious side hidden in human beings. I don't agree with the Three-character Sutra, which says "at the beginning of a person, his nature is good. I think that when people are born, they are born with the nature of animals. After all, humans are also a branch of animals and gradually evolved from animals. The natural world is an ecosystem of "survival of the fittest, competing for things", and "goodness" does not exist in this system. In fact, the goodness of human beings is completely cultivated the day after tomorrow. Imagine how a child who has never been taught by an adult can make such a thing as "Kong Rong let Li? Since its birth, humans have been given "kindness" education from various aspects, so the natural and ferocious animal nature has been continuously put down. If a person has been in a normal human society, this nature will be permanently sealed. However, in an environment where survival is the primary factor, the animal nature of humans will be exposed. The rescue boat in the movie is a special extreme environment. To survive, we must rely on the inherent animal nature of mankind. When the raft floated to a beach, the tiger jumped onto the shore and disappeared into the jungle without returning his head. I think this is a metaphor that when an independent individual enters human society, the animal nature of his body will be deeply hidden. If a person has been in a stable human society or group, it will not erupt the repressed animal nature.

Another fact that PI, the hero in the movie, has been telling is that he is switching to various religions. In reality, many religious teachings are exclusive. Why should PI convert to one religion after another? My personal opinion is: He wants to redeem his soul. He saw such a cruel killing on the rescue ship, and hinted that he had eaten the body because there was no food, and finally killed others. Imagine how a person who has had such experiences can sleep at night ?! For spiritual comfort, he had to turn to religion, and there were many different religions.

All in all, this is a good movie. An in-depth discussion of human nature is introduced with a dazzling audiovisual means.
