      "Tolkien" film review: "No matter the corner or the end of the world, peace of mind is probably home"

      "Things are not beautiful because they sound beautiful, they are beautiful because of their meaning"

      Tolkien - the father of modern fantasy literature. Original author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. A hero who saved the British film industry.

      Why make up stories and make up language?

      Language comes from history, and stories come from life!

      There are many movies that have become classics, but there are not many that can shock people. The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix are godlike beings.

      And Tolkien is the original author of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", and this film is his biography. To be honest, this movie is very mediocre, but for Tolkien, it must also become the object of careful consideration by movie lovers.

      Routines of fictional literature

      This work takes Tolkien's coma during the First World War as an opportunity, and reminisces Tolkien's youth and his youth experience in a stream of consciousness. So from Tolkien’s experience and from the situation of the first season of "De Yun Dou Laugh Society" that I have just marked in the past two days, we can firmly draw a conclusion-talented people must be in their youth. Will show clues. Let's think carefully, at least in the writer industry, is there any creator who...

      Use "Tolkien and the World War" to tell you why this "Tolkien" is a failure

      People try to obtain the "history" of biographical characters through biographical movies. If they refuse to use facts to verify and correct, then this "history" is nothing more than an over-interpreted and imagined "history." For most movie viewers who don’t care about the details of the facts, the behaviors of biographical characters often only need to follow the narrative logic inside the film and the biographical introduction on the encyclopedia. No matter how good a...

      Unrealistic biographical film

      First of all, from the perspective of the play, the film (the movie "Tolkien") is not satisfactory.

      As a film with the title of Tolkien's biography, the film is actually mediocre, and the standard is not up to the standard. The narrative as a whole is very scattered and has no center of gravity. The stacking of elements such as love, friendship, battlefield, and nightmare can be put into almost any other related story, but we know that it is not Tolkien. At least, those...

      I admit that there are flaws in the film, but I really like the "vigor" of Nizi's biopic. The brotherhood of TCBS makes people have no resistance at all, so I saw that Tolkien handed the poem collection to Geoffrey's mother at the end, Barrows is still there, but no matter how hard it is to reunite TCBS, I really cry, it's not like a teenage tour... In fact, I choose The two lines of war + friendship are enough. If the love line and the teacher-student line are mixed in, it will definitely lead...

      The actors supported the clichéd plot. Although they mainly talked about 1917 and before, the length should be enough, but it does feel loose and not solid, and it all depends on the feelings of Middle-earth. The ending scene is beautiful. In fact, Xiaotuo said that Laotuo's manuscripts are a lot of pencils with ballpoint pens and colored pens on them. They are almost unrecognizable. There are several drafts in print. The first draft and the final draft are not the same...

      sam, hiding under the curb, the father frantically hinted to his son that "that man is worth entrusting his whole life", or something, there are too many Lord of the Rings stalks! There is still a little excitement! I'm pretty picturesque, and it's a little embarrassing to be drunk. The heroine is sometimes like lana in Little Farmer...

    "Tolkien" is difficult to find a foothold in the American market, and the reasons are very good. This is a period drama that weakens the philosophical problems, religious differences and the depth of the theme, and it is even about to reach the level of indifference. This film mainly focuses on Tolkien's academic career when he was young. Director Dome Karukoski handed over a well-intentioned, but still insensible and unexciting answer...

    Movie quotes

    • Professor Wright: A child points, and is taught a word. Tree. Later, he learns to distinguish this tree from all the others. He learns its particular name. He plays under the tree. He dances around it. Stands beneath its branches, for shade or shelter. He kisses under it, sleeps under it, he weds under it. He marches past it on his way to war, and limps past it on his journey home. A king is said to have hidden in this tree. A spirit may dwell within its bark. Its distinctive leaves are carved onto the tombs and monuments of his landlords. Its wood might have built the galleons that saved his ancestors from invasion. And all this, the general and the specific, the national and the personal, all this, he knows, and feels, and summons somehow, however faintly, with the utterance of a single sound. 'Oak.' Saxon word. Proto-Germanic. Cognates in Old Norse. 'Eik.' Language is never nonsense. Language is meaning. History. Layer upon layer upon layer. And a word without meaning is -- what? Merely a sound.

    • Edith Bratt: I don't have a hat.

      J.R.R. Tolkien: It's all right. They all look ridiculous anyway.

    • Mabel Tolkien: Let us begin, Ronald: The earth began to shake with the weight of the dragon as he crawled to the water, and a cloud of venom flew before him as he snorted and roared! But Sigurd waited till the dragon had crawled over the pit and then he thrust his sword under his left shoulder and right into his heart. The dragon lashed his tail till stones broke and trees crashed about him. And then he spoke, as he died, and said, "Whoever thou art that hast slain me, this gold shall be thy ruin and the ruin of all who own it." Sigurd said, "I would touch none of it, if even by losing it, I should never die. But all men die and no brave man lets death frighten him from his desire."
