《life of pi》观后感
重新回看了一遍《少年派的奇幻漂流》,这是一部2012年的片子,也就是说上次看,是在七八年前了。时间过的可真快啊。 2012年,是自己从学校毕业那年,虽然是一所不入流的大学,但莫名的对自己有着谜一般的自信,那时候觉得自己潜力无限,也觉得这个世界充满着无限可能,这个世界在自我的面前,一切都是新鲜的,都是充满生气的。 怎么说呢,就好像少年时的pi,对宗教的憧憬,对神迹的向往,贸贸然站在一头猛虎的面前,毫无防备。 无限的自我,生发着,膨胀着,觉得无限广阔的空间等待被占领,被填满,也觉得未来是如此的远,时间是如此的长,真是少年心性啊。 记得电影里pi面对猛虎时,第一次被父亲拉住训斥。 “猛兽是与我们完全不同的,你以为眼中的猛兽是有灵魂,但猛兽眼中你看到的只是你自己的倒影。” 世界之于我们,又何尝不是呢? 被束缚已久的,年少的我们,初入世间,当稚嫩的自我开始一点一点在世间展开,触碰时,只觉得欢喜,只觉得自由,在自己过往那一点点浅薄的认知中,这份欢喜和自由是如此的难得可贵,这个世界是崭新的,今天的世界因为自我的到来,更是与以往相比愈发不同。 这一切,直到被现实的猛虎扑倒,撕咬之后,我们才会第一次惊醒于世界的多变和复杂。 pi是很难过,但他也是幸运的,因为更不幸的人,早已被现实击倒,撕碎,吞噬。 这是人生的第一次成长。 时间飞快,17岁的Pi面临人生中的第一次意外,全家移民。从出海这一刻开始,刚刚显现的人生图景,被波涛汹涌的海水,迅速颠覆。爱情,亲情,信仰,原本令少年自以为无坚不摧的人生观,顷刻间荡然无存。留下的只有一艇风雨飘摇的小船和一个凶猛无情的老虎——理查德·帕克。 一切过往,皆为序章。 李安展现的是一人一虎的海上对决,PI与帕克,人性与兽性的一体两面,整部海上故事,也是每个人突破自我的英雄之旅。猛虎就是情绪,少年PI则是每个人孱弱的理性,人生海海,路途漫漫。在海上航行,一人一虎,无时无刻不在对抗,也无时无刻不再帮扶。我们总以为理性是好的,情绪是坏的,社会也倡导我们,理性处事,压抑情绪。但是人生之海,黑暗孤独,只有情绪,当然无所前行,而孤独一人,无从排解,最后也只能走向疯狂。 人不能调教猛虎,但可以管理情绪。 旅程的终点,漂泊已久的小艇终于靠岸,理查德·帕克,一瘸一拐的遁入森林,少年PI则被众人抱起,嚎啕大哭。这哭声,意味深长,是获救的喜悦?悲痛的释放?对经历的不舍?如何才能想象,在短短一段时间中,丧失了全部亲人朋友,辛苦漂泊,跨越山海,历经生死后的复杂情绪。 “人生就是不断放下,但最遗憾的是我们来不及好好告别。” 少年Pi后面回忆,眼看着作为漂流伙伴的帕克,遁入森林前,慢慢离开自己。他多么希望,帕克能最后回头看自己一眼,也算是为自己旅程的终点,画上一个完整的句号。可是,老虎没有回头,旅程也就此戛然而止。 听多了别人口中的故事,仿佛每段人生都应该有一个起承转合,所有事件都应该有一个最终目的。殊不知,无常才是世间的真意,每个人都只是生命的过客,万物恒常。 故事结尾,另有一个生存故事逐渐浮出,血淋淋的真实,令人悚然的残忍。 又是一体两面的隐喻,说到底帕克和Pi,依然在生命之艇上相互凝视,真相究竟如何,确实无关紧要,唯一重要的,只是我们应如何选择。
电影感悟:010《life of pi》
好看的电影值得反复观看,尤其是那种寓意深刻的,已经是第三次看的《life of pi》,这部电影不管是口碑还是票房,都非常地成功,遗憾的是,尽管已经是第三遍了,但还是有很多东西都没有理解,所以每次看这种需要高度集中精力以及较强的逻辑思维能力的电影时,总会难免觉得自己很“肤浅”,好吧,这也未必是一件坏事,毕竟它可以一次次训(打)练(击)我的思(信)维(心)。
最让我觉得自己“肤浅”的是男主角说两个不同版本故事的那片段,我竟然懵逼地相信了有老虎那版本的故事,现在想想都觉得可笑,倒不是说我现在已100%确定第二个故事才是真实的,而是我竟然都没有思考过“第一个故事才是真实的”的可能性,这让我很惆怅啊……
第一个故事就是电影呈现出来的,有老虎、斑马、猩猩、鬣狗、小岛,狐鼬以及奇幻的漂流经历,而另一个版本里只有一个厨子、水手、Pi和他的母亲,厨子先后杀害并吃掉了水手,然后又杀死了母亲,最终pi忍无可忍同样杀害并吃掉了水手,活了下来。很明显,第一个故事尽管很离奇,很难让人相信,但比起第二个残忍、血腥、丧失人性的版本来说,人们更愿意相信前者,这也是为什么日本记者和小说家都选择相信有老虎那版本的原因。
但是,如果真是这样的话,那为什么李安还会安排那么长的时间来讲记者采访这环节呢?,完全可以在老虎回到森林时结束电影啊?为什么男主角是问记者“你更喜欢哪个版本”,而不是“你更相信哪个版本”?为什么在记者回答说相信第一个版本之后,他会说一句“所以你追随上帝!” ?为什么第二个版本里的“厨子”、“水手”、“母亲”其实都有在片中出现过,而且与所描述的形象相似?……..(之前除了第一个问之外,其它几个都没有思考过)
思考了这些问题之后,也就是当知道第二个故事才是真实的之后,这部电影立马会上升好几个档次,因为采访那个片段,也就是男主说第二个故事的片段,才是电影最精华、手法最高超的部分,你会意识到,原来之前觉得那些可有可无的剧情,都是精心铺垫好的,而这个故事就可以在依靠你想象力、逻辑性的前提下,把它们一一重组,用奇幻离奇的故事把残酷的事实还原出来,如果没有最后的这十几分钟,估计这部电影顶多只能拿一个奥斯卡“最佳视觉效果”,但由于加了那一部分,“最佳导演”、“最佳改编剧本(提名)”、“最佳影片(提名)”等几十项奖项就变得理所当然了。
这得另外说下历史上发生的一个真实的故事:
1884年,“木犀草”号沉没,4名船员被困在南大西洋,除了3名船员,还有一个名叫理查德·帕克(也就是老虎的名字)的17岁男仆。在茫茫的海上漂流中,3名成年船员杀死了孤儿理查德·帕克,分食了他的肉,因此得以生还。
虽然知道了第二个故事才是真实的,即知道了第一个故事中的老虎就是第二个故事中的pi,但还有一个耐人寻味的问题——第一个故事中的pi是谁?在网上流传着两种说法,第一种说是我们心中的“神”,另一种说法是说那也是pi本人,其中老虎代表丑恶、自私的一面,pi代表理性、善良的一面,我觉得都在理,所以也就不展开讨论了, 下面主要是想谈谈影片给我带来的另外两个感悟:
男主角改名叫“π”,其实是有深刻的含义,它是一个无限不循环小数,小数后面是没有规律可循,所以你永远不知道“再下一位数”是什么,这也就是所谓的“不确定性”,就跟pi的经历一样,跟一个人处在世界一样,永远不知道下一秒会发生什么,永远不知道下一秒我们会变成什么样,我们每一步都有很多的预期,但“下一步”却不会完全按照我们的预期到来,各种欲望、愿望、绝望、希望,背后好像有一个我们完全没法理喻的一种神秘的力量在操纵,我们试图去理解它的时候呢,它又逃出了我们对它的理解。
面对“不确定性”,我们对待它的方式通常是这几种——怨天尤人、顺其自然、杞人忧天和迎面反击,尽管影片没有说明在“不确定性面前应该怎么办”这个问题,但pi的经历已经给了我们一个很好的答案,那就是——要学会拥抱“不确定性”。
在“不确定性”面前,我们一方面要有危机意识,但同时也不能够杞人忧天,因为我们现在的种种的担忧是基于我们现在的认识和判断、基于我们的视野,而且不管我们在哪个年龄阶段,我们都会处在这样的环境当中,所以,最好的办法就是拥抱“不确定性”,在不确定性面前保持一种“确定性”(这跟顺其自然又是不一样的)“永远要追求光明,要追求变化,要拥抱变化,然后追求一个明天,明天这个地方什么都有!”
——— 告诫自己,拥抱不确定性,在不确定性中寻找确定性。
影片中pi与老虎之间的关系很奇妙,pi对老虎的感情发生了好几次变化,起初是敬仰它,看到它吃小羊后开始害怕它,一起漂流时变得同情它,到最老虎头也不回的离开后则开始怀念它。
老虎暗示为我们生活中的“敌人”,它是我们生命的威胁,它的存在,很有可能会导致我们毁灭,影片中有一个很意味深长的片段,就是当老虎跳进海里的时候,pi是有机会干掉它的,而且他明明知道如果把它救上来,他就会处在一个将被吃掉的绝境当中,但最后他还是把它救上来了,当然我相信,当时他救老虎的原因纯粹是因为他的善良、他的信仰,但后面他应该也能意识到,其实那才是对待“敌人”的最佳方式。
对于那些像欲望、老虎这样的东西,一方面它是我们生命的威胁,但另外一方面它的存在也可以构成一种“平衡”,因为,没有了这个东西我们同样也会毁灭,就像影片中的pi和老虎,他们已构成了一种平衡状态,首先是老虎救了他(当猎狗来咬他的时候),而且,同时也是最重要的是,如果没有老虎的话,他在那个海洋上面漂流的时候,即使有吃有喝,也是活不久的,因为在那样的环境下,他会绝望,他的精神会完全崩溃,会陷入到一种迷幻的状态里头去。
只有跟虎同处在一条小船上的时候,他才会去钓鱼,才会去谋生计,因为他许需要每天要给老虎吃五公斤以上的肉食,老虎才不会吃他,由于这种长期的“博弈”,才能保证他还是一个正常的人,才能保证他不会绝望而认命,如果没有老虎的话,他很快就会崩溃,同样,如果没有pi,老虎也会因为没有食物、没有水而死亡。
面对敌人,这个“敌人”可以是人,也可以是物,甚至还可以是我们身上的某个缺点,绝大多数时候我们是想去消灭对方,但我们从来没有想过消灭对方的后果是什么,不知道打破这个平衡之后的后果是什么,当我们把“敌人”除之而后快后,也许我们会因此而开心,也许会因此而在短时间内过得更好,但是这却未必就是一件好事,因为一旦打破平衡系统后,我们也极有可能会处在一个不利的环境下,说不定就在我们放松、掉以轻心的时候,一只看不见的手就把我们给消灭了。
———告诫自己,当面对“恨不得要把对方掐死”这样的人或事或公司等或其它时,可以把自己比作pi,把对方比作老虎。
英语作文范例2篇_1000字
The large number of our population has bee one of the most serious problems of our society. According to a recent survey of the National Bureau of Statistics there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country which account for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. The same survey also predicts that our population will grow quickly in the years to e. Overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our economic development and social security. In the first place too many people impose a heavy burden on our environment. As a result we suffer from a shortage of fresh water and natural resources. In the second place as the supply of labor greatly exceeds the demand of the society many people bee employed. This is a source of social unrest. Last but not least we have to manufacture all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people which causes environment pollution to our lakes and land. Serious though the problem seems we have to take some measures to tackle it. On the one hand the government should carry out more strictly the policy of family planning thus reducing the total number of population. On the other hand all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. With the concerted efforts of all the parties concerned we’re sure to solve the problem in the future. Which is more important health or wealth? When given this question different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life while others see more advantages arising from wealth. The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that on the one hand a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand however rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered. In contrast the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. (Take my neighbor Lao Wang as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However he cannot afford the expensive operation which costs as much as 100000 yuan. Therefore he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man his life could be saved.) (括号中的部分同学们自己可以在别的文章中发挥。) As far as I am concerned both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance beeen them and gain wealth with a healthy body.

实际上淡水是非常紧缺的。(人口增加、工业用水增加)
3) 我们应该怎么办?
Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Generally, people think that fresh water is inexhaustible. Every year there is enough rain. And there is plenty of fresh water in the rivers and lakes. What's more, we have a lot of underground water.
Actually, fresh water is in a short supply. Due to the rapid population increase, fresh water consumption remains great. Besides, with the development of industry, more water is needed. Moreover, a lot of our rivers and lakes have been so polluted that water from them is undrinkable.
We must take some measures to solve the problem of water shortage. First, population growth should be slowed down to reduce fresh water demand. Second, pollution should be controlled to purify fresh water in the rivers and lakes. What is most important, we should cherish every drip of water in our daily life.
再如:95年1 月份试题:
提纲:1) 有人认为钱是幸福之本(source of happiness)
2) 有人认为金钱是万恶之源(root of evil)
3) 我的看法。
Some think that money is the source of happiness. Once they have money, they will enjoy everything. They can use the money they have to buy, a beautiful house or even a wife.
Some others think that money is the root of all evil. Due to the greed for money, people will do various kinds of evil things, such as stealing, robbing or even murder. Money can easily change a kind, honest man into a cruel, cunning woe.
In my opinion, both of the above-mentioned viewpoints go to an extreme. Money itself is neither good nor evil. It all depends on how we look at it. We can not deny the importance of money in the modern society. Meanwhile, we should not ignore the fact that something can not be bought by money, such as friendship, true love and so on.
这两例都是采用了对应写作方式,将提示中的三句分别扩展成三段,三段之间相互衔接,构成一个完整的篇章。
2.调整法
尽管是提纲式写作,提纲所提示的只是文章所要包括的主要内容,却不是文章的结构模式,一般情况下,同学们应根据英语文章的类型,重新安排文章。如上面有关钱的一个写作,按照英语的表达习惯,最好是加上一个引子。
What is money? To this question, different people hold differently. Some thing money is the source of happiness, while some regard it as the root of all evils. As far as I am concerned, they both have their reasons
Those who consider money as the source of happiness argue that money means massive house, beautiful clothes, or luxurious cars, and can enable them and their families live comfortably. They even believe that money can bring power, friendship, and love. But due to the temptation of money, there are many people who become thieves, robbers, or murderers. It is also out of the greed for money that some officials forget their duty and cause enormous losses to the country, so some people think that money is the root of all evil and suggest that we keep away from money.
In fact, money is merely a medium of exchange. It may bring you happiness; it may lead you to a life of crime. Whether it is good or bad depends on how it is used.
二、 首段和尾段的写作
上一讲中我们介绍了段落的扩展模式,也就是说,我们已经了解了文章中间一部分的叙述模式。根据四六级写作的特点,一般首段和尾段都要自己补上,那么怎么才能写好首尾段呢,下面我介绍一下,首尾段的写作方式。
1.首段的写作
首段的写作方式一般为:
运用事实性信息、调查或故事等引出话题,2)导入主题,然后提出自己的观点,也就是文章的论点
首段开篇的方式常见的有:
1) 谚语法
由于谚语一般已经被大家所接受,用谚语提出自己的观点也容易被读者所接受。
As the saying goes, Money makes the mare go, but there are many things we can't buy with money, such as time and true love. …
2) 定义法
定义法是通过对文章中的关键词做一些简单或正面或反面的解释,限定其范围,这样比较有利于引出主题。
Practice makes perfect is an old saying. It tells us that it does not matter if we are clumsy at doing something. As long as we keep on trying and practicing, we will do a good job in the end.
3) 提问法
通过提问一个或一连串的问题,可以激发读者的兴趣,从而引出主题。
a. Do you have many friends? Are they similar to you or different from you? Which kind of friends do you prefer?
b. What is a good student? Different people may have different answers to this question.
4) 概括法
概括法指先总结文章内容所涉及的现状,然后引出主题。
In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the Internet has come into more and more homes and is playing a more and more important role in our work and daily life. It has become a must to us, but at the same time, Internet has also brought with it a lot of problems.
5) 故事法
故事法指用简单有趣的故事激发读者的兴趣,从而提出自己的观点。如下面Is Stress a Bad Thing?
6) 引语法
Just as eating without liking harms the health, learning without interest harms the memory and can't be retained. From Vinci's words we can see how important it is to motivate the students in language learning.
7) 调查法
为了得到读者的认可,文章的开始可以引出调查数据等,借以提出主题,如下面Is Stress a Bad Thing?的1)和Can Schoolchildren Start Using the Internet?的4)。
8) 假设法
假设法是指通过假设提出一种选择,交代文章要涉及的问题,从而提出文章的主题。
Suppose you were offered two jobs, one is highly-paid but rather demanding, the other is less demanding, but poorly-paid, which would you prefer? …
9) 综合法
具体写作时,同学们没有必要拘泥于一种方式,可以将上述方法总和起来。
首段示例1:
题目:Is Stress a Bad Thing?
提纲:1)有人害怕压力
2) 有人认为压力并不是一件坏事
3) 我的看法
I can't stand the pressure and competition, explained one friend of mine when asked why he decided to quit his highly-paid but demanding position in his company recently. My friend may have his own reasons, but I don't think his decision is wise in reality.
It is true that my friend's case is not unique. In the last few years quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive at the cost of a comfortable, easy life a highly-paid job can obtain. They are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. In fact, however, stress isn't the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. People under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth - the very aim of a human life.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.
就这一标题而言,根据所提示的提纲,首段的写作还可以采用下列方式:
1) According to a recent survey, in the last few years, quite a number of young people have chosen to quit their demanding but highly-paid jobs. Although they may have their own respective reasons, I don't think their decision is wise in reality.
2) Which job do you prefer, a highly-paid but very competitive position or a poorly-paid but also less demanding job? You may choose the latter and have your own reasons, but I don't think this choice is wise enough whatever reasons.
3) Faced with a hard and demanding task, people's attitude varies widely: some try to avoid it and others regard it as a challenge to their abilities. In fact the choice we make between flight or fight make the difference between leaders and mediocrities(平庸之辈).
首段示例2:
标题:Can Schoolchildren Start Using the Internet?
提纲: 1)随着科技的发展,网络越来越普及;
2)网络有其优点但也有缺点;
3)我的观点
根据上面的提示,首段可有下列几种方式:
1) Nowadays, using the Internet has become a fashion. Many parents begin to teach their children to use the Internet. However, there are diverse opinions on this. Some think it wise, but I don't agree with them.
2) Today, the Internet is becoming more and more common. It begins to play a more and more important role in our society and life. It's so useful that most adults are learning how to use it. What about children? Of course they can start using it.
3) Today, with the development of science and technology, the Internet is beginning to play a more and more important role in our life. More and more people are starting to use the Internet, including schoolchildren. However, I think schoolchildren are too young to start using the Internet.
4) According to a recent survey, Internet users are becoming younger and younger, and Internet bars have become a resort for schoolchildren who log in to chat or play games. Faced with this phenomenon, many people argue for measures to prevent schoolchildren from using the Internet, and I think they have their reasons.
2. 结论段的写作
结论一般采用归纳概括、主题重述或提建议等方式。
常见的方式有:
1) 重述或总结主题
重述主题指于结论处以另外一种表达方式重申主题,与首段照应。
Families offer us warmth and care. Friends give us strength and horizon. They both help us understand the world as it is. Both of them are the dearest parts in our life.
2) 提出建议
Since postcards do us more harm and good, since we have many other ways to convey our feelings and promote our friendship, I hope everyone will take actions now to stop using postcards.
3) 概括总结
As we can see from the above, living in the suburb we can stay away from pollution, lead an easy leisure time, and needn't invest too much money, so I prefer living in the suburb to living in the city.
4) 引用名人名言
In particular, I enjoy what Francis Bacon said Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability.
5)综合法
与首段一样,结论段也可以是多种方法的综合。一般说来,
