It is also the subject of fantasy stories. The fantasy of "Harry Potter" reveals the cruel reality; "The Chronicles of Narnia" is full of childish freshness and wonder; "The Lord of the Rings" is full of the heroic spirit and spirit of medieval knights. The magnificent atmosphere of the great empire. It not only shows a Middle-earth world where humans, elves, dwarves and other ethnic groups live together, but also narrates stories about love and trust, fear and confusion, betrayal and doubt, where there is a deeper discussion of human nature. Reflection on oneself. And above the imagination of freedom is the persistent exploration of hopes and dreams. In the world of the Lord of the Rings, we see the elves who gave up their lives for thousands of years for love, the emperors who were tempted by power to become slaves to the devil, and the warriors who were once full of fear but eventually defeated themselves. Every flesh-and-blood character witnesses love and courage in his own way. Although there is no shortage of cowards who are knocked down by temptation, hope is always the core. A shocking work always makes people feel longing and dreams.
The core content of this story is that a group of people form an alliance to fight against the evil demon. On the one hand, they must destroy the prop "Lord of the Rings" that will make the evil more powerful, and on the other hand, they must resist the attacks of the evil legion. At the beginning of the story, a dark and hopeless environment is set up. In everyone's hearts, it is almost impossible to fight against the darkness. The old alliance has long been split, and the king of mankind is deceived by the ring; the elves abandon mankind and want to leave to the paradise. Go; human beings are in panic all day long, lingering and panting, just wanting to get by. Everyone expects to have a savior to save themselves from fire and water. It wasn't until a young hobbit who got the "Lord of the Rings" by chance and took on the task of escorting the Ring to the Mountain of Destruction, the new alliance began to gather, and the new righteous force revived. Aragorn, the sole heir of the Emperor, Legolas, the prince of the Elves, Jimriel of the Dwarves, and Frodo, Sam, Pipin and Meili of the Hobbits, are the core figures of the Fellowship. After a long and arduous journey, the Allied soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to the Mountain of Destruction, and all the way to help the countries of Middle-earth resist the strong orc army of the Demon King Sauron. The story unfolded vigorously in this way and was staged in full swing in the vast Middle-earth world.
Every morning when you wake up, the sun covers the earth, Middle-earth begins to wake up, young heroes come from the horizon on horses, the dark sky in the distance is full of thunder, misty mountain elves begin to sing, beautiful princesses, etc. The prince returns. What caught my attention most about the "Lord of the Rings" series was that the crew presented the vast Middle-earth world that was almost impossible to perform on the screen. Different from the general scene depiction, Middle-earth is a completely fictitious space, whether it is a mountain palace where elves live, a warm hut of hobbits, or even the all-white castle of the Rohan Kingdom Minas Tiris. For images that did not exist in the past, the director uses extraordinary imagination to construct the atmosphere in the readers' minds, and makes every audience feel that they are appropriate and irresistible. The construction of the environment laid a good foundation for the performance of other aspects of "Lord of the Rings".
In terms of casting, I dare say that replacing any one of the actors would be a major subversion. Think about it if it weren’t for Monger Statham as Aragon, Orlando as Legolas, or Liv Tyler as Princess Avin. , What a movie "Lord of the Rings" will become is simply unimaginable. Aragon's increasingly mature king temperament, Legolas's ethereal and detached spirit temperament, and Princess Yavin's elegant and unparalleled moving body, because of the appropriate actors' interpretations, they are more vivid and appropriate, and they are ready to come out. It may be that the protagonist is not a big star, but in terms of performance, he is not bound by a fixed image, and he breathes freely. As the trilogy advances, his acting skills are becoming more mature.
Most fantasy dramas always pay more or less attention to special effects and ignore the plot. In "Lord of the Rings", this problem obviously does not exist. In view of the fact that there are too many collaterals in the original work, many of the less important details have been deleted by the director, leaving only the most closely related to the main line. Although it more or less weakens the entertainment, it makes the movie more compact. The plot not only relies on the huge scale of fortifications, siege warfare, and fantasy magic to attract the audience's attention, but the inner changes and struggles of the characters also appropriately create suspense, which makes the audience more acts of raising their hearts to their throats. In the trilogy, we see the transformation of Aragon, from fear of his own destiny, gradually building confidence, and working step by step for peace and justice; similarly, Frodo is also changing, and the ring's control over him gradually Increased, doubts and possessiveness gradually spread his thoughts, the journey became more dangerous, and the boundaries between friends and enemies began to blur; Princess Arvin was hesitant to love, giving up eternal life or being with the one she loved most. At the same time, this is an important question of choice; the destiny of mankind is also changing. More people gain strength from the depths of their hearts. The habit accumulated by long-term fear is broken because of the advent of a huge crisis, and the human race begins to fight at the moment of life and death. , Just because I don't want the earth to be shrouded in darkness from now on.
The charm of "Lord of the Rings" lies in the process of constantly challenging themselves to find hope. In this world, no one is firm and brave from beginning to end. They have been confused, confused, held back and even desperate when facing tremendous pressure. But every time they asked themselves: they had already arrived here, whether to move forward or backward, they all chose to move forward. This is the most fundamental and most indestructible force in the dark, and it is also the source of the world's vitality. "No matter how small people are, they can change the world." It is not a short journey from the hobbit’s home to the mountain of destruction. In the process, everyone has lost a lot of precious things, calm minds, former friends, Beautiful homeland and even eternal life, but in the end it will be exchanged for the eternal peace and tranquility of Middle-earth. Such sacrifices are as magnificent as epic. In the end, Frodo’s departure brought an imperfect ending, but it increased the tragic effect and heaviness of the movie, and then sublimated the whole theme.
In the trilogy, we can also see many magical touches, such as the tree man. The flood strategy of McGonagall, McGonagall’s dual character and so on. This movie also contains a lot of humanistic and natural care emotions, such as the awareness of environmental protection throughout.
I think everyone who has read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will have the idea of rereading the original. However, the original book is vast and the relationship between the characters is intricate, and it is actually difficult to understand. No wonder people once said that "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed. It is impossible to become a movie. The wonder of the world is that miracles happen anytime and anywhere. When "Lord of the Rings" is shown before us, another miracle is born. Finally, let’s end with a quote from director Peter Jackson. He said: Yes, I like "Star Wars" very much, but now it is the era of "Lord of the Rings".
