Take it easy, just being chased by the dragon

[One look and feel]

Because everyone who has read the original knows what will happen to the third part, how can the second part be called hideous in comparison? In the last episode, there was a chorus of dwarves poking tears. In this episode, the place where you should calm down and experience feelings is basically roaring, and the brewing of feelings is not a little bit less than last year. In a hurry, understandably, the sadness turned into anger, pointing directly to the long-winded dragon in Gushan.

Maybe it’s the interweaving of the two moods of “It’s great and there’s the next one” and “It’s great that no one is dead and there are more races in this episode”, which made me feel relaxed from start to finish, and it’s not a place to laugh. Laughed from ear to ear.

Although "Bray" was not as smooth as "Bray", it still made me haha ​​as soon as I started, and then the director gnawed carrots and flashed past, keeping my smile on. However, when Bilbo probed, my heart sank, and an interview flashed in my mind. If the MF was not serious or serious, the whole face was frozen, and I felt quite embarrassed-the kind of person you don't like played the whole thing. The mood of your favorite character in this work, I think I must not be alone. When I struggled to get those words out of my mind, the translator of the skin changer appeared, and I couldn't help but puff it out again (low laugh). Skinshifter is literally translated as skin-changer, but is it more pleasant to the ear?

Change the skin person, change the skin person, hey, do you want to change the skin too!

It is commendable that the fans this time are very low-key, and the appearance of any bloody character did not trigger any major reactions. Neither Legolas nor Thrandil received an amazing treatment. But when the Elf King stretched his head, my friend suddenly leaned in my ear and said, "It feels so perverted!" Yes, my lord, your figure and neck seem a little weird. PJ seems to try his best to portray King Se's noble and glamorous as the kind of heaven or "my beauty is unmatched". The close-ups and angles are all poking at the various points of Mimei. Those who eat this set are probably I would squeeze my knees and ask the queen to marry me, but in the eyes of other people, it is-I said it must be very strange to grow up like this!

Fortunately, here are just a few probes approaching movements that are exaggerated and peculiar, and the character shaping is not off the track, very close to the original image of a local tyrant who loves money and alcohol. What is grateful is that he did treat Thorin as a king, and he did not discriminate as habitually as other spirits. In order to reflect the "seriousness" and "darkness" that must be included in the epic film, the jungle spirits changed the happy image of partying in the woods in the book, and all of them were fully armed and prepared. Under the leadership of Captain Tao and the prince, they kept on. Ground-close the door.

Yes, the door is closed. The prince is saying "close the door" throughout the movie. This is a strange joke, but after all, it is the first love on the screen. As long as he appears, it is impossible for the girl's heart not to bang. The years still left some marks on his face, especially the cheeks and the corners of his eyes. He also had to draw eyeliner to reflect his 60-year-old "adolescent little leaf" image. This setting is quite good, so that Legolas, who has no desires, no desires, and no surprises in the trilogy, has a little more personality, at least he will be unhappy, will play a small temper and put on a mocking face. After being beaten with a nosebleed, the expression of looking at blood in an incredible way almost made people feel the illusion of blood and blood. Oh, in fact, this is just the script to reflect Xiao Ye Zi’s young age, immature, and imposing things. Others hit me at me. I'm going to hit you ten times, what, you disgusting half-orc, how dare you hit me (in the face)? Even my dad never hit me (really)! You have the ability to slap me in the face, if you have the ability, don't leave! Don't chase dwarves on wolves, I will run with you!

In this way, Legolas continued the whole movie’s life of being led by someone to make a single call, and disappeared into the night of Long Lake Town... How did such a passionate little leaf transition to the smile in the trilogy Mobile Wikipedia that is always open? It is estimated that the Battle of the Five Armies touched a certain part.

But in any case, the elves battle scene represented by the prince and Captain Tao is nothing to say, smooth and graceful, and the movements are light and deadly, which is really not enough. Captain Tao's several solo shows are quite good. Although this is an original character, it has a more pleasing setting, kind-hearted and tenacious. I quite understand the importance of original female characters, otherwise the gender of the whole movie is too single, and it seems not to be balanced. The female elves added a touch of bright color, and at the same time made up for the lack of emotional lines. The foundation of national hatred and family hatred should have run through the trilogy, but the second part obviously dilutes this feeling. Everyone is on the road, and there is no time to sing. Besides, the more tragic catharsis should be left to the third part, so emotional communication other than fights It was left to the Kili and Tao teams. I didn't think this was a love triangle setting, even though Team Tao and Kili were because of the soap-I'm sorry, Kili's amulet is really like soap, and my friend said "throw soap" as soon as he took it out! ——A feeling of sympathy arises, but this feeling seems to be closer to "we are also pursuing beautiful things", which makes Captain Tao realize that dwarves are not so abominable, and everyone still has common pursuits; and the reason why Legolas does not I’m happy, I’m probably slandering, "You didn’t play with me, why did you go to play with dwarves? What's so good about dwarves!" Don’t worry, Xiaoyezi, funny dwarves will appear in 60 years. You have already seen people’s photos.

Another good detail is that Fili stayed in Long Lake Town with his brother. This adaptation is very touching, reflecting the difference in belief between the nephew and the uncle, and the characters suddenly become three-dimensional. Thorin's helplessness and Fili's persistence both vaguely set the tone of sadness.

It is a little regretful that the long-awaited Jungle Father and Son drama has been taken in a single pass, but it reflects the firm creed of King Se from the side-close the door and live a small life, and the others are ignored. Son, go and shut the door! There is no doubt that this creed will definitely change in the third part. Perhaps it was because the king learned that his son was on the front line, and finally made up his mind to participate in the Battle of the Five Armies. This transformation process is very exciting. I can't wait to see the king's face crooked with anger.

The whole movie has always made people at the highest point of emotion. The two lines go hand in hand, and the Gandalf line is equally exciting. The single brush Sauron really shocked the audience. In the trilogy, I have not seen the white robe magnify the move, but in Dolgold, he casts spells one after another, facing the big demon. This is the real strength of the gray robe-well, although the grandma is still to be built in the end Helped, but after all, it was a dazzle and an eye-opener. This is also one of the surprises of the film.

Another surprise is Bud. Bud is more lovable than the original. Luke Evans has successfully portrayed a brave, witty and minded human character who is neither humble nor overbearing, clear-thinking, patriotic, and perfect. He had the courage to deal with the mayor’s eyeliner to help the dwarf enter the town, but he did not blindly worship the King of the Mountain. From beginning to end, his IQ was online and he had a caring heart for others. Oh Bud, you definitely deserve all praise!

The third surprise is the dragon. Although I have no interest in BC, I have to admit that this dragon is too cute, its voice is very attractive, and its personality is very subtle. The tyrannosaurus, who became excited at the moment of incitement, has finally found a companion for chatting in the lonely mountain for too many years. It is just like babbling to catch others ecstatically, and immersed in self-appreciation and demeaning opponents. Even if he was splashed with gold, I think his heart should be extremely joyful, shit! He secretly replied, and he can reduce the fire again! It is the best interpretation of chaos and evil.

In contrast, the shaping of the dwarves is not as exciting as the upper part. Although everyone has their own characters in their roles, Thorin, who is the most important thing, lacks a sense of presence and charm. All his decisions seemed reckless and eager in a hurry. At the end of the last episode, he regarded Bilbo as a friend. This episode seemed to suddenly realize that the leader was willing to sacrifice others, so he was willing to keep his teammates and almost abandoned Bilbo. This is very similar to the unlovable Thorin in the original book, but according to the tone of the first film, it shouldn't be the case in the movie. Maybe PJ left the sublimation of the character's personality to the third part, which is just showing that he, like his grandfather, became less like himself for Akon Gems? In any case, this movie gave him too little room for performance, and several changes seemed a bit abrupt. For example, when looking for the keyhole, everyone almost gave up opening the door in an instant, and then appeared behind Bilbo in an instant. , A bit strange.

Another thing that doesn't suit my taste is that the distribution of action scenes is a bit top-heavy. The battle against spiders and elves and orcs in the previous hour were all wonderful, but the battle against dragons in the Lonely Mountain looked like a villain. I know that dwarves can only deal with dragons in this way, but I personally prefer real swords and guns, more realistic fights. I can’t ask fantasy movies to do this, but the trilogy doesn’t make me feel “too fantastic”, and the Gushan section makes people feel like “it’s so dangerous, so it’s OK?”...It’s like Indiana Jones. For this movie that actually goes down to the magical reality of the game, it seems a bit exaggerated. The various institutions and transitions are dazzling, and the attraction is a little lacking.

In addition, there is nothing to criticize, all aspects are above the standard. But it still has less touching qualities than the first one, and a little more fancy. This is also understandable. After all, a thin novel was divided into three parts. The appearance of the Lord of the Rings was the first highlight. The Battle of the Five Armies and the Battle of Long Lake Town were both in the third part, so it was the second part of the transition. It makes sense to owe a little in the plot. The advantage is that this one can be read happily without worrying about the fate of the character.

Friends, save your tears for next year.

——But the black screen at the end is too abrupt, as if this is the third long trailer, so that the audience who were looking forward to Bud shooting the dragon sighed with regret at the same time!


ps. At the end of the game, my friend told me that if it wasn't for the ugly Orcs, she would almost think that Legolas who was chasing him had a play with him... My friend, you are definitely not alone.

pps. This one should be rated four stars, one star for emotional points.



[Impressions of the second brush]

Maybe it was because I was attracted by the dazzling picture when I brushed it, or when I tried to suppress a certain part of my heart (that part was lamenting the sacrifice of certain characters in the Battle of the Five Armies), my vision became narrow. I was eager to comment on Highlight with many people, while ignoring some of my favorite topics. In the second brush, the things that really made me like came to the surface, and these elements made me sigh, and made me nod in the dark.

Although I don't like MF, I have to admit that he is responsible for a lot of meaningful plots in this movie, and he did a good job. Of course, the script is indispensable. For example, the bravery when fighting spiders is explained as being driven by the Lord of the Rings. This makes me immediately think of Frodo in the crater. I was shocked by that scene when I watched the trilogy, and the pure heart cannot escape. Being bewitched will eventually be swallowed by evil, and evil can only be buried in evil-the Lord of the Rings fell into the magma in the greedy fight between two people, and it has nothing to do with justice. And Bilbo, who slashed and slashed spiders in the dense forest, kept away from self-preservation and saving people. His possessiveness made him slaughter spiders bravely.

This passage clearly shows the horror of the heroine-in my opinion, the Lord of the Rings is the well-deserved heroine of the entire series. Those who have watched the trilogy smiled knowingly and sighed for the power of the heroine.

The unexpected trip naturally gave us a lot of surprises. At first glance, the second part seems a bit mediocre. Several highlights seem to be buried in the fan battle. Everyone is also covered by the elves, humans, and Dorgold who appeared on the stage. The forces were dazzled, not to mention a suspected love triangle that distracted the audience. But apart from this, I found the most interesting thing about racial diversity, because each of them insists on their positions, the sparks of friction are even more attractive, even if they dislike each other, the third part is still If you want to unite to fight the orcs, the enemy's enemy is your friend. Such an alliance is strong enough to win the Battle of the Five Armies. I am full of expectations for the process of this union. The second part of the drifting section gives the audience a first glimpse of the formation of a temporary alliance. In the first second, the elves were chasing the dwarven prisoners, and the next second the real evil forces appeared on the scene. The elves did not seem to intend to let the prisoners go, but they did it all the way. Orcs can kill or kill; and the dwarf saves the adolescent prince without hesitation at the critical moment despite being stomped on his head by the opponent, even though the prince doesn't know it, and he also comes with a hostile look. Although, despite, despite... But in the face of a crisis, the enemy's grievances are temporarily put aside, the same hatred, and a total defense against foreign enemies. This theme is not new, but it is very passionate under any circumstances, especially for these two races whose old hatreds have not yet been added, but everyone helped each other out of anger.

Of course, half-orcs cannot resolve all contradictions. The contradictions between races and within races will always exist until they are completely resolved. If there is a chance, the elves will still lock the dwarves in the dungeon. But can you say that the elves are the villains? It does not seem. From the perspective of the dwarves and Bilbo, the Hobbit series regain lost ground, defeated the dragon, and re-crowned. Undoubtedly, the dwarves are positive characters, so the jungle elves that hinder their actions seem to be bad guys in the eyes of ordinary audiences. Not a bad person is a stumbling block. Look at their lord, it looks like a creepy who worships money so much, which is completely different from the first forest valley elves. For many people, this is a turning point-the elves created by the trilogy and the unexpected journey are true, good and beautiful. The elves here seem to shout "Huh don't think I won't kill you" at every turn, and their mouths are also very poisonous. It's as ugly as a goblin variant." The leader also shut the protagonist group, because Thorin didn't promise to share his share of the pie. But when I think about it carefully, even though the king is a little distorted, his three views are not as "righteous" as his subordinate Taurier, but there is no problem with the idea of ​​governing the country. It is good to live a small life behind closed doors and protect your own people. Other things Regardless, this is quite right. The drifting war also shows that the jungle spirits are jealous of evil, like killing real bad guys like cutting melons and vegetables, and generally stick to the righteous camp. Not being kind to dwarves, except for the problems left over from history, isn't it just for money.

So there was a double turning point-the jungle elves and the king are not bad, they fight beautifully and fiercely, and they also fight against evil, which is a bit more vulgar. But speaking of vulgarity, dwarves are money fans from top to bottom, and greedy is enough. Isn’t it because they are too greedy to get into the dragon? The original work is more exaggerated, making people think that "everyone goes to Gushan to win gold, and the throne may not be as important as gold." Fortunately, the film downplays the influence of gold and highlights the hatred of the country and the family, making Thorin's image more than tragic. This adaptation is very good, and the likability of all the characters has been raised to a level. The dwarf's action was extremely politically correct, but it can't be said that everyone didn't even think about gold.

The topic of gold was brought up again in Long Lake Town. When the character of Bud appeared, everyone intuitively felt that this was a good man, a true man with patriotism and care for the people, and he witty helped the protagonist take another step towards Gushan. However, after learning the true purpose of the group, Bud not only failed to support the operation, but also firmly opposed the mayor's door. Although the people around were stirred up by the gold described by Thorin, Bud, Bud, who has always represented the will of the people, stood on the opposite side of Thorin and pointed out the core of the action—what would you take if you didn’t kill the dragon. Throne, the entire Long Lake Town will suffer if the dragon slaughters, you only think of success, but if you do not succeed, innocent people will die with you in the flames.

The intention of this scene is very interesting. The audience has always considered the dwarves with positive characters, which seems to be lacking in confidence. The development of this story is bound to be that Smaug will destroy the town, so Bud is undoubtedly correct. 13 dwarves go to slay the dragon? Are you kidding me? The dragon attracted by the dwarves led to the destruction of Long Lake Town. Now that they are back, they are once again making a bet on the town? Bud's mind is too clear and the logic is too correct, and audiences who like dwarves will be persuaded. And Thorin's confident smile after being welcomed by the mayor made him like a well-planned villain-after all, the image of the mayor was portrayed as stupid and authoritarian.

Thorin and his party are positive characters created by the script, and Bud is a positive character who came out halfway and won everyone’s affirmation. The two types are in opposing camps, and the audience is in conflict. The audience is also in conflict-we all look forward to it. Seeing the dwarves regain the occupied lone mountain, but the price is so heavy, and it is impossible to have the best of both worlds. I can't feel it when I read the original, but the movie is much more intuitive. Anyway, Thorin and Bud are too handsome, everyone is too righteous and awe-inspiring, what can we say!

This is how Smug Desert has been trying to split everyone’s personality. For example, we felt guilty about Bud a moment ago, and then we saw Gushan and everyone finally opened the door. We felt that it was not easy. Everything was worth it. . This kind of mood is the same as Thorin. In this movie, he is sometimes a brave and decisive leader, and sometimes he doesn't look like himself, threatening his companions with a sword. The ancestral dragon disease is really extraordinary. But how can viewers who haven't read the original think of this? Therefore, I am not very satisfied with the treatment of this area. If I can free up some time to express Thorin’s psychological struggles like Bilbo’s attachment and contradiction to the Lord of the Rings, the effect will be completely different, at least not like the current face change. of.

In summary, this is the ethnic diversity I want to talk about. Elves, humans, and dwarves are neither completely righteous characters in ordinary works, nor are they definitely not evil forces. Each race is even divided into two factions-this It is more worth seeing than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. After all, the characters in the trilogy are distinct from righteousness and evil. Contradictory characters such as Big Pineapple and his father are portrayed in detail, instead of directly using the collision and plot of thought sparks like this one. It is very natural and more realistic to describe the character from the side. For me, this is the greatest advantage of the Smaug Desert. What kind of dwarf love triangle (to be honest, I was still very moved when Tauriel and Kili discussed the starlight and moon. The two races let go of their grudges and discuss beautiful pursuits together. Isn’t it beautiful?) What loneliness is talking about the dragon, in I don't seem to be able to compare with the fun and excitement brought by multi-ethnic communication.

This allowed me to see a broader Middle-earth, not only with more beautiful locations, but also with a rich variety of characters.


ps. Make it into a stand-alone machine! Don't play online! I want to go to Dolgold alone! It's so beautiful!
