Police Story

Description

Police Story is a 1985 Hong Kong action film directed by and starring Jackie Chan. The film follows Chan as Kevin Chan Ka-Kui, a Hong Kong police officer tasked with protecting a witness in a major case against the drug lord Chu Tao. When the witness is kidnapped and Chan's girlfriend is threatened, Chan must go to extreme lengths to save them and bring the criminals to justice.

The film is known for its spectacular stunts and action sequences, which were choreographed by Chan himself. The most famous scene in the film is the "umbrella scene," in which Chan slides down a metal pole with a large umbrella and crashes through a glass canopy. The scene was achieved in one take and remains one of Chan's most iconic stunts.

Police Story was a commercial and critical success, earning Chan his first Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor and launching him as a major star in Asia. The film's success led to a franchise of sequels and spin-offs, as well as influencing the action genre in Hong Kong and around the world. Today, Police Story is considered a classic of Hong Kong cinema and one of Chan's most memorable films.

Action & Adventure
Life of Pi, directed by Ang Lee and based on the Booker award-winning novel of Yann Martel, which was rewritten by David Magee for the movie, telling as a story about Indian boy survived shipwreck alongside with hyena, orangutan, a wounded zebra and a beautiful White Bengal tiger. Yann Martel have explored and studied lots of facts about an ocean life to give credence to story. That's why, despite the unbelievable storyline, the situations and solutions described in the movie could really take place in real life. The boy named Pi was raised in Indian family owning a zoo. At one day they decided to migrate in Canada with all of their animals and boarded the Japanese freighter. Soon after the leaving India, a shipwreck has killed all the people and animals except for little boy and four animals including furious tiger. All of them take a shelter on one small lifeboat. The boy has managed to survive in this uneasy situation for 227 days. A strong will to overcome the deadly perils, a faith in life and inexhaustible optimism leaded him to long journey adrift by the Pacific Ocean. The journey fortunately ends when their boat reaches the Mexico coast. The tiger (named Richard Parker, by the way) escapes to the nearest jungle, leaving the boy alone. Years after, Japanese Maritime officers interviews Pi in order to investigate the circumstances and consequences of shipwreck. Pi tells him as story about his peregrination, but no one believes him. Pi, feeling the lack of confidence, tells them another version of his wandering, without animals, instead of which a sailor, a cook and his mother act. In this butcherly version a cook kills a sailor and Pi's mother to use them as bait and food. After he tells the second story, Pi asks Japanese officers which of two versions they like most. When he gets the answer, confirming that story with animals is better, Pi says "…and so it goes with God".
