People who don't like LOTR always say that it is too commercial, but I can say that it is the richest in all the commercial films I have seen.
The portrayal of a nation in the movie can be said to be exhausting. Take Rohan as an example. From the national flag with a black background and white horse, to the tribal city built on a high mountain, to the sound of bagpipes every time they come out, it vividly outlines a nomadic nation.
Peter Jackson and his team are not shooting a movie anymore. They are creating a world, a world with its own history, its own culture, and its own black-and-white disputes, and this world almost truly makes you believe that it is indeed in a certain Exist at a moment or somewhere. They made it so hard, and it took 7 years for them to shoot. I don’t think any movie that puts commercial interests first would have the guts to spend such a time cost. So when they got those Oscars, I was very happy for them. Tolkien created a dream for us, and they turned this dream into reality.
While watching RTOK, I was always agitated by an emotion:
Pippin lights up the first beacon tower , and then the beacon fires in the mountains are ignited one by one...
Eowyn desperately on the battlefield like a man...
Sam said to Frodo: I can't carry the ring for u, but I can carry u...
Aragorn said to all the people of Gondor and Rohan before the war: This day we fight!
I know that LOTR has brought me more shock and emotion than all The excitement and freshness that commercial films can give me.
A good movie does not depend on whether it is artistic or commercial, as long as it impresses you, it is a good movie.
Anyway ,the journey is end ,but life continues.
