Farewell to Middle-earth, poetry and poetic decline. . .

I took the time to finally watch the third episode of "The Lord of the Rings". . .

Indeed, after 20 years, even if another 20 years, or even longer, there will be no such wayward movies. The director super generalist has almost saved a production chain by himself, although the funds come from Hollywood. , The production idea is the New Zealand independent film method. . .

Then there is no need to carry any politically correct baggage, let alone care. Now domestic netizens frequently use the "Three Views" as the brain circuit for evaluating works. Creative cognition and feelings of shame after being incapacitated. . .

Of course, many people do not buy into the overall aesthetics of "Lord of the Rings". One senior said in a word, "The Lord of the Rings is a Western Peking Opera", which is quite funny. There are similarities in this tone. . .

For example, if you let foreigners directly watch the recent Cantonese opera movie "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", perhaps some foreign audiences will have a similar cognitive perspective, but they think you are great, but the accent doesn't suit me. . .

The period of classic text seems to have stagnated in stages. Perhaps it is to prepare for the next era of classic text. In the past, movies could use pure "evil" and "dark side" as villains or protagonists. In the past 20 years, people's fears Have become more specific, such as terrorism, global epidemics, and natural disasters. . .

Poetry and poetic nature are fading, or move slowly like a tree beard, exit the center of the stage, or like an elf, say goodbye to Middle-earth, God is hidden. . .

Only ordinary you and me are left. . .

This time the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was re-screened. After watching it, I recollected it and confirmed again that after 20 years, my favorite character is still Sam. . .

I personally feel that the director prefers two roles, one Gurum, because Andy Sekis’s amazing performance made the director continue to add drama to this role; the other is Sam, which gives me the feeling of this movie trilogy The story (not the novel) is all for Sam, for all the good characters and beautiful visions of ordinary people he represents. . .

Sam is the only person in the film who can voluntarily hand over the Lord of the Rings according to his wishes without the order of others. Bilbo also handed over the Lord of the Rings after repeated reminders from Gandalf. Of course, this also holds the time of the Lord of the Rings with Sam. It's short and relevant, but it's enough to illustrate the strength of the character's mental power. . .

Although the film begins with Frodo as the official protagonist of the film, it is the final scene of Sam's return to Hobbiton's pastoral life as the end of the trilogy, which once again points out the significance of the end of an era in Middle-earth. . .

As for Sam's almost perfect personality, it seems to be deliberately for no reason. After all, there are mischievous Meri and Pippin among the hobbits. . .

And Sam is like a model of humanity. Both the author and the director let such a perfect role run through. This unusual creative choice should imply the author's most persistent expression. . .

Loyalty, kindness and love-in order to continue to believe and continue these are the most important parts of life, darkness and evil will continue to come back, life will be tried again and again, broken sword can be recast, faith alliance can be reunited. . .

Finally, history becomes legend and legend becomes myth again. . .

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King quotes

  • Pippin: [singing to Denethor as Faramir leads the charge] Home is behind, the world ahead... and there are many paths to tread... Through shadow... To the edge of night... Until the stars are all alight... Mist and shadow, cloud and shade... All shall fade... all... shall... fade.

  • Denethor: My sons are spent. My line has ended. Rohan has deserted us. Theoden's betrayed me. Abandon your posts! Flee, flee for your lives!

    [He turns around, and Gandalf knocks him out with his staff]

    Gandalf: Prepare for battle!
