You may love to see tigers at the zoo. But what if you had to stay with one on a boat on the open sea for over 200 days? Life of Pi(《少年派的奇幻漂流》), the movie from American Chinese director(导演), Li An, tells an amazing story.
Pi is a boy. He lives happily with his family in a beautiful Indian town. His father has a zoo, so Pi knows a lot about animals.
But one day, his father decides to move to Canada. He will sell all his animals there. The family begin to sail on the Pacific with all the zoo animals. But a big storm(暴风雨) hits their ship at night. Finally, Pi finds the only survivors(幸存者) are himself and a large tiger called Parker on an 8-meter boat.
To keep himself alive, Pi has to keep feeding the tiger so that he himself does not get eaten. He tries to get on well with the tiger during a 227-day sail on the sea.
The movie is from a Canadian writer Yann Martel's book of the same name. The book has sold 7 million copies worldwide. It discusses not only hope but also relationship(关系) between humans and nature.
It took Li An four years to make the movie. He also used 3D for his first time. He hopes the movie will "make the people think". Life of Pi opened in Chinese theaters on November 22, 2012.
