Let me first clarify a popular misconception that FOTR, TTT, and ROTK were shot one after another, but this is not the case. The LOTR trilogy is not filmed in several parts like the Matrix or HarryPorter series. This trilogy, excluding the post-computer special effects and polishing, was completed in a single breath in 14 months. You may not be able to imagine that in FOTR Many scenes in, TTT and ROTK were shot on the same day or even at the same time, and in ROTK, Frodo and Sam’s dialogue was changed by a year! There are almost no blockbusters in Hollywood trying to do this, because once it starts, it means a great risk. However, Peter has made this unprecedented precedent, and everyone supports him to do so, because everyone is ready to take them The love of the original and the passion for the movie are invested in LOTR, and the facts have proved that they did not take this risk in vain. People remember LOTR and the people behind this group of movies.
Perhaps the reason that attracts you to watch LOTR is the use of high-tech means to show the magnificent scenes and the tragic battles of thousands of troops, but that is just the test tube baby of the post-modern industry, and there will be more spectacular and grander ones in the future. The scene is copied. Here, the magnificent scenes and amazing special effects are just to set off the topic beyond LOTR's preaching-even small people can change the theme of the future, so that we who are used to seeing heroes go into the sky and do everything, finally I experienced a long-lost touch.
In this climax, heroic movie, the real savior, the real protagonist, is just an unremarkable Hobbit. He looks weak and can't help but how can he have the spirit of the stride ranger Aragon to be a powerful enemy? How can the unfathomable wisdom of the archmage Gandalf? Where is the skill of the fairy prince Legolas wearing Yang? However, Aragon's ascension to the throne is just the end of the story. Gandalf is only performing the duties of a guide, and Legolas and Boromir have only supporting roles. Our true heroes are only Frodo and Sam-two betting on their lives and ultimately saving the little Hobbits of Central Continent. Their heroic deeds have made all the people of Gondor admire. The people of Aragon and Gondor will pay tribute to them, and Gandalf will personally provide swords for the guardian. Any hero, king or prince, must express gratitude to both of them. Because LOTR is a movie that can be seen from the small to the big.
The Little Lord of the Rings is related to the fate of all creatures in Central Continent. The little Hobbits had the arduous task of destroying the Lord of the Rings; Bilbo's little pity for Gollum back then rewritten the history of Central Continent and fulfilled Frodo's mission. The Lord of the Rings is reminiscent of the Nibelungen ring in Wagner's operas. The gold at the bottom of the Rhine River casts the ring of omnipotence. It not only determines the fate of the world, but also predicts the retreat of the gods. It not only achieved the love between Siegfried and Brunnhild, but also ruined their love. life. Also for such a small ring, the Middle Continent Land has experienced countless catastrophes, and many heroes splashed the battlefield with blood. In the opening game of FOTR, Elendil was killed by Sauron on the icy rocks of the plain; when the Fellowship was trapped and attacked, Boromir was violently shot under a tree by arrows in order to save Merry and Pipin; Ha from Rolin in TTT Erdir was killed on the wall of Helm's Deep and fell among the corpses of his tribe. In ROTK, King Theoton of Rohan led the cavalry to support Gondor and fell on the battlefield... The battlefield is not a show of our fairy princes with handsome arrows. Field, war will always be cruel.
When the loud horns of the Rohan cavalry sounded in Helm's Deep, Frodo and Sam were struggling to move towards the shadow of Mordor in the death swamp; when Gondor White City struggled in the burning of evil flames, Frodo and Sam were stepping on the evil soil of Mordor. Go up to the dark and terrifying spider cave; when the allied forces of Gondor and Rohan launched a final fight on Sauron at the Black Gate, Frodo and Sam were crawling in the scorching flames of the Doom Volcano. When all hopes were about to be shattered, when all resistance was about to fail, and when fate seemed to be leaning to one side, Frodo completed his mission and destroyed the Lord of the Rings.
The little Hobbit destroyed the little Lord of the Rings and saved a big Middle Continent.
Originally Peter wanted to arrange a decisive battle with Sauron for Aragon at the Black Gate, but finally gave up the idea, "This is against Tolkien's original intention," Peter said afterwards, so we saw the moment Aragon turned back in the film, What I heard was not something like "Come on~", but "for Frodo", and the final focus was still on the battle of willpower between Frodo and the ring in Mount Doom, although Frodo was the last in will The tragic failure came to an end, but the process of his commitment itself was enough to make people awe-inspiring.
Although the ending of the story is satisfactory, it is shrouded in a strong sad mood. The sailing sailing west carrying Gandalf and Frodo disappeared into the sky, slowly dipping into the golden sunset light, with endless music in his ears, just as Richard Strauss wrote in "Twilight", With nostalgia for the past. We can no longer see Frodo’s worry-free smile at the beginning, and the scars that the journey brought to his soul cannot be eliminated. All we can do is just like Sam, when Frodo finally boarded the ship, give him a last Hug, accept the blessings he gave us when he looked back, and then watch him go away, let the tears fall quietly... The ending that naturally fades out is the most moving time, and those critics who criticize the so-called procrastination at the end are all Draw a conclusion far from the core idea of LOTR. What Tolkien hopes readers do is to follow Hobbits' eyes and look at the life experience brought about by this series of magnificent stories.
Finally, when you see them returning to their long-awaited hometown, they are not greeted by flowers and cheers, but still a peaceful life, you realize that Tolkien and Peter used a huge story to explain only small words— -Peace.
Everything will eventually become history. Today, perhaps no one is singing the legendary story of the ranger knight, or people have forgotten all the price paid for peace. The movie just inspires people’s imagination and thinking. Fans will continue to sing Frodo and Little ring-like singing those brave and invincible heroes. This process can be regarded as the completion of what Tolkien called the "mythical enlightenment".
