Hello everyone, I’m Alaska with glasses and microphone, Pian Pian.
Since last year, due to well-known reasons, the world's film industry has experienced varying degrees of non-compliance.
This also started a wave of "reset theaters . "
Regarding the behavior of "resetting old movies in 4K", there are many people who think good and bad.
I don't make any comments on the behavior itself, but when I flipped through the reset list, a series in it made my eyes shine.
Yes, this is the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy .
As a masterpiece released at the beginning of the century, "Lord of the Rings" can still be famous all over the world 20 years later .
It is enough to explain the excellence of this work.
But the problem has also come, aside from subjective feelings.
A cumulative time of more than ten hours, and a very slow pace,
Slow to the epic work of " giving a broken ring less than 3 hours " to be complained about .
How can the king return and defeat the crowd after 20 years ?
First of all, let's summarize the plot in a few words.
It is said that in an overhead world full of magic, there is a continent of Middle-earth.
Dark Lord Sauron created an omnipotent supreme lord of the ring, and prepared to use it to annex the world.
In order to resist Sauron and his army of half-orcs, the human city-states, the elves, and the dwarves have joined hands in an alliance.
But Sauron, who had obtained the Supreme Lord of the Ring, was invincible and invincible.
At a critical moment, humans cut off Sauron's finger, and the Sauron Legion that had lost the Lord of the Rings was also destroyed.
But the Lord of the Rings was eventually lost.
2500 years later, the Supreme Lord of the Rings once again appeared in Middle-earth .
The ring unit , headed by the wizard Gandalf and the hobbit Frodo , decided to throw the ring into the volcano for complete destruction.
But there are ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties waiting for them on the road.
The people in the small team, while overcoming difficulties, gradually gathered the former alliance army to resist the attack of the orcs who obeyed Sauron.
In the end, Frodo lived up to expectations and destroyed the Lord of the Rings.
The Alliance forces also successfully wiped out Sauron completely, and the Middle-earth Continent returned to peace again.
I have to admit that even though I will read this story after 20 years, it is somewhat clichéd.
But I must also admit that even today, 20 years later, "Lord of the Rings" is still very good-looking .
Whether it’s the cast of the All-Stars, the magnificent momentum,
There are also computer special effects that "feel like real".
During the period, the description of the three generations of Hobbit's "guardians", the struggle for power, and the division and reunion of the alliance.
A layout that has both a big scene and a small perspective.
As well as the analysis of human nature behind it, even now it is very effective.
In addition to being good-looking, there is another very important point about the endurance of the "Lord of the Rings" series.
I call it "You can see the shadow of "Lord of the Rings" everywhere . "
We can first look at a few pictures of film and television works:
This is the decisive battle scene of the domestic movie "Heavenly Commander".
At this time, the war poster of "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers".
This is the siege scene of the Turkish movie "Conquer 1453".
This is a screenshot of the decisive battle of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".
By the way, there is the same scene from "New Water Margin".
Putting these pictures does not mean who copied or touched the porcelain.
It is the method of shooting large scenes initiated by "Lord of the Rings", which has been used to this day.
To a large extent, the public's aesthetic preference for "scene" has been framed.
Later generations do not manage to increase or decrease the allocation.
If you don't come with such a content, you will always subconsciously feel that this thing is not worthy of being called a "big scene . "
With the addition of such a scene, it is easy to remind people of "Lord of the Rings" again.
It should not be an exaggeration to just look at this magnificent scene and say "no one has surpassed in 20 years" .
In addition to pioneering work on the "scene", "Lord of the Rings" is a series of slow-paced works.
It is the story itself that captures the audience the most.
The movie runs through the main line of the plot, except for alliances, tribal wars, and the journey of the ring.
Just a fantasy Middle-earth world, it is entirely possible for fans of "Lord of the Rings" to dig for a while.
And the reason why a fantasy story can be told as the "originator of Western fantasy works", on the one hand, of course, we must worship the original author Tolkien's brilliant pen.
And more importantly, the original "Lord of the Rings", "The Lord of the Rings", drew a lot of the essence of Western history and magical legends.
For example, fantasy elements such as great wizard, demon king, elves, dragons, dwarves, and sacred fire.
And include many historical events such as the Hundred Years War, the Red and White Rose War, the Crusades, and the fall of Constantinople.
These contents that permeate Western culture are linked together in Tolkien's Middle-Earth Continent into the masterpiece of "The Lord of the Rings".
It has the taste of Homer's Epic.
With a good foundation, the film and television deconstruction and optimization of the talented director Peter Jackson became the "Lord of the Rings".
If none of this produces good works, then it's really a ghost.
Moreover, "Lord of the Rings" has not only inherited the essence of Western traditional culture since its birth.
It has also profoundly influenced the content trend of the western fantasy culture in later generations .
For example, the "Reunion" series that everyone is familiar with.
Thor's meow hammer and battle axe, and Thanos' infinite gloves are all made by the cosmic dwarves.
Although the technology of the dwarf in the movie looks very sci-fi, the image of the dwarf is basically the same as that of "Lord of the Rings".
The armor of the Asgard Guards also borrowed heavily from the image of the Elf Guards in "Lord of the Rings".
George Martin, the author of the original "A Song of Ice and Fire" of "Rights and Games", is simply a fan of Tolkien.
There are a lot of references in the character setting and writing dialogue of "Quan You".
As for all kinds of Chinese and foreign networks to repair immortals and cool articles, not to mention.
In addition to literary works, the influence of "Lord of the Rings" has also penetrated into the game world .
For example , the game "World of Warcraft" has "Alliance" and "Tribe" settings.
To a large extent, it was influenced by the humans, the elven alliance, and the orc tribe in "Lord of the Rings".
In the "Warcraft" game that shares the same world view, the elves are good at bows and arrows, and the orcs are more than fleshy.
The human knights are very good, and the dwarf technology blessings are also characteristics, which can basically find similarities in the "Lord of the Rings".
As for the current hot "League of Legends" , under the background story at this stage.
There are even more points to pay tribute to "Lord of the Rings".
Let me just cite a few examples:
Raven has a line called "The day the broken sword is recast, when the knight returns."
It is a direct quote from Aragorn's recasting of the broken sword and the return of the king in The Lord of the Rings.
As for the uncontested Yodels, they can completely correspond to the Hobbits in "Lord of the Rings".
...
It can be said that the existence of "Lord of the Rings" and the original "Lord of the Rings",
It can be regarded as an "important node of western fantasy literature . "
It has inherited the culture of the ancestors and merged its essence into three big movies.
It also affects future generations, allowing them to stand on the shoulders of "Lord of the Rings" and continue to explore the upper limit of the magical world.
In my opinion, this is its success and its greatness.
It's a pity that I was too young to catch up at the premiere.
This time, "Lord of the Rings" is re-released, and can revisit the 4K reset version.
It can be regarded as filling up the small regret that I was not able to watch it in the theater.
By the way, it is said that the first season of the "Lord of the Rings" drama version known as "the most expensive in history" has been announced.
Let us look forward to it for a while.
The story of "Lord of the Rings" is here for the first time.
If you are also an old fan of "Lord of the Rings" like me, and feel "Ye Qinghui" , you may wish to give a thumbs up and let us protect the most beloved Middle-earth together!
That's it for today, and see you tomorrow.
Bye bye.
