【內(nèi)容簡介】

故事開始于蒙特婁，也結(jié)束于蒙特婁。一名在找尋靈感的作家（拉菲·斯波 Rafe Spall 飾）無意間得知派·帕帖爾（伊爾凡·可汗 Irrfan Khan 飾）的傳奇故事。派的父親（阿迪勒·侯賽因 Adil Hussain 飾）開了一家動物園。因這樣特殊的生活環(huán)境，少年派（蘇拉·沙瑪 Suraj Sharma 飾 ）對信仰與人的本性自有一套看法……選段中，Pi的故事講完了，他的故事的兩個版本，令人感慨李安導(dǎo)演思想之深，電影構(gòu)思之巧妙。

【選段臺詞】

The Writer: So the story is...Both the zebra and the sailor broke their leg. And a hyena killed the zebra and the orang utan. So...The hyena is the cook, the sailor is the zebra, your mother is the orang utan. And you're the tiger.

Pi:??Can I ask you something?

The Writer:??Of course.

Pi:??I told you two stories about what happened out in the ocean. Neither explains what cause the sinking of the ship. And no one can prove which story is true and which is not. In both stories, the ship sinks, my family dies, and I suffer.

The Writer:??True.

Pi:??So which story do you prefer?

The Writer:??The one with the tiger. That's the better story.

Pi:??Thank you. And so it goes with God.

The Writer:??Mamaji was right. It's an amazing story. You really let me write it?

Pi:??Of course. Isn't that why Mamaji sent you here, after all??My wife is here. Do you want to stay for diner? She's an incredible cook!

Pi's Wife: Hi. Very nice to meet you.

Pi: Adika. Ravi.
