When Luohan City faced the pressure of 10,000 troops, women and children hid in the tunnel, while men—as long as they were able to hold weapons—say goodbye to their mothers, wives, and children, and walked to the city to prepare for battle. I shed tears and felt a desperate pain. Everyone knew what the most likely outcome would be when three hundred humans fought an army of ten thousand monsters, and they just bid farewell to their loved ones and walked onto the battlefield. The king said that if tonight is the end of Luohan Kingdom, then their bravery will be written into the annals of history. The noble spirit of mankind is shining.
The use of light in the film is very good. The blue and cold tone of the night battle cleverly avoided the bloody feeling that may be produced in the battle scene, and will not cause vulgar visual impact. Before King Luohan set out, he stood in the dark, behind him was a figure that kept walking by, suggesting his great spirit and inner anxiety. When Gandalf led the reinforcements, sunlight shot down from one end of the reinforcements, breaking through the cold tones of the battlefield, giving people a sense of warmth and hope, and the wizard in white robe was like a god under the background of the strong light. It can be said that the use of light in these parts is as elegant as a photographic work.
The use of music is a good foil to the development of the plot. The music during the night war is tense, low, and at the same time tragic. When the Treant attacked the monster base, the music was mainly percussion, showing firmness and strength. When the tree man persuaded the Hobbit to return to his hometown, he inserted the theme music of his hometown in time. In the end, when the people of Luohan won the victory, the theme music of the whole movie appeared, which made people think that the future of the coalition of mankind must be the same. The battle is generally bright.
In terms of rhythm control, the combination of the tension of the night battle and the slowness of the tree-man meeting highlighted the crisis of the situation; the combination of the oppression of the soldiers and the funny words and deeds of the dwarves eased the constant tension. Relax and unwind freely while relaxing one by one.
Although the whole movie lacks a lot of bright colors and cheerful plots compared with the previous one, it still shows the grim reality and is full of hope as a whole. Many fragments have a strong epic color, which makes people admire the director. Smart with editing!
