      The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

      Frodo, the protagonist of "The Lord of the Rings", accidentally got a ring, which started his journey of disobedience. I saw Gandalf the wise, guiding Frodo. I saw the tenacious belief that Frodo could finally complete his mission under the constant bewitching of the Lord of the Rings. In it, too, I saw friendship, and I was especially moved by the genuine friendship between Frodo and Sam. This series of films made me feel the courage of Frodo. Show us that even a tiny hobbit can change the...

      When the problem arises, what should I think about is how to solve it

      Watching time: November 2018, after watching this trilogy.

      Each film is about 3 hours long, and the trilogy continues very well

      From the video I saw the following:

      1. Don't complain when the problem comes out, it's the only way to solve it

      After the little hobbit got the responsibility of the Lord of the Rings, he first complained about why he let himself do it

      A quote from Gandalf: When a problem arises, find a solution instead of complaining...

      The Story of The Lord of the Rings (Characters)

      The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a great work. This is how I felt after watching the first part. After watching the second part and the third part, the shock in my heart can no longer be described in words. This can definitely be included in the list of must-see movies in life. The scene is grand and spectacular, the beauty of the scenery is far beyond description of the paradise, and the ingenious architecture makes it impossible to sigh when it is destroyed. Not to mention the vivid...

      It is estimated that it is the childhood of foreigners

      I actually like to watch foreign blockbusters sometimes, because there is no connotation, watching the special effects is actually quite cool, don't need to think about this and that, it is very easy to watch, it is probably because of this reason , I feel that the kind of literary films that were very popular in the past are becoming less and less popular. In fact, I feel that this is also a kind of cultural invasion. Although I often feel that those fuss-free literary films...

      This animation gave a lot of inspiration and scene material to the "Lord of the Rings"...

      The red background with the real black silhouette of the prologue is eye-catching! Then, unfortunately, it went into animation mode... Journey to the West is best for animation, and Lord of the Rings is best for movies. Even if the animated version of the latter changes more than 80% of its pages to dry tofu bucket grinding, a fantasy mythical body that is farthest away from the human war form of Helm's Deep, you still can't escape the dark tone and A sense of disobedience in the form of...

      The limping walk of the Ringwraiths is so joyful. Although it is a year later, this one is completely different from the previous "The Hobbit". The beginning is a silhouette of a real person, and some pictures in the middle don't look very similar. Pure animation, the dwarves seem to be just shorter humans, unfortunately only the plots of the first two films are...

      Parallelism may be brought to the extreme. The disparity between the pros and cons makes the audience worry about the fate of the protagonist. The film in 1978 was already at this level, it was...

      Having no interest in Lord of the Rings, I was looking forward to seeing Bakshi keep doing things like Cool World or Coonskin. This one is obviously...
