THE LORD OF THE RINGS----a lost history, a fascinating world

Although the age is too young to catch up with the premiere of the first few years, but recently due to the epidemic situation, it caught up with the re-screening of the trilogy. You can also experience it on the IMAX big screen. It really complies with what Lao Tzu said: Relying, blessings and misfortunes fall." I watched the three Lord of the Rings movies with my good friends. When the black tower collapsed and all the noise was calmed down, it was really very happy to be accompanied by friends. On April 18, April 24, and May 15, within a month, the fourth half-way trip was over. Every time I watched, there will be new experiences and discoveries. As an old fan, I feel almost like Everyone has shared the degree of feeling, write about your own feelings, so that more people can appreciate the mysterious Middle-earth world.

Chapter One World View Framework

The logic of Middle-earth described by Professor Tolkien is rigorous, meticulous and meticulous. The most amazing thing is that it is complicated but self-consistent, and does not violate peace in the least. From the top to the gods, the hierarchy is clear, and the division of labor is clear. In the process of studying the novel, you will be surprised to find that the characters' movement routes and the landforms along the way correspond one-to-one with the map drawn in Tuolao, which also makes the process of reading interesting. The level of detail in the virtual world constructed by the old is breathtaking, and the small details constitute a huge reality, which also allows readers to better immerse themselves in the story and lays a solid foundation for the adaptation of the film. Peter Jackson also adhered to the principle of creating a real atmosphere when shooting movies, which is also a major reason for the success of the film.

The structure of the world view also contains many ideas. Elves are noble and arrogant, isolated from the world, dwarves are stubborn and brave, greedy and violent, hobbits are cute and comfortable, weak and courageous, humans are selfish, brave and just, and each race has its own advantages and disadvantages, and they are all determined by their environmental characteristics. It is decided that the world in which all races live is also very much like today's complex world, which can be seen as a reflection of the current world. Although the war has not ceased to this day (Israel and Palestine), from the story written by Tuo Lao, all ethnic groups put aside their grievances and defeated Sauron together. The future belongs to mankind. It can be seen that Tuo Lao is still full of hope for the future. This pair will participate. It is not easy for the veterans who have lived through World War I. And more emphasis is placed on cooperation and inclusiveness. The community of shared future for mankind probably started from then, haha.

Chapter 2 Character Analysis

It may be generally believed that the characters in Tolkien’s mythology tend to be flat and not detailed enough. I have some understanding of this.

First of all, due to the magnificence of Middle-earth, personal deeds appear insignificant. This is inevitable in an epic story. In other words, it is not because there are too few characters but the desire to highlight the vicissitudes of history.

Furthermore, the portrayal of characters requires careful taste, not superficial. Aragorn was once a downturned ranger, unwilling to recognize his bloodline and lacked identity, but through the touch of Boromir, son of Gondor, he made a solemn promise and gradually realized the helpless retreat of King Haydon. , And then to lead the entire league to face Sauron, and eventually become a king's weapon, the changes in the middle are very detailed. And the friendship between Gimli and Legolas also crosses races and grievances, which is moving. Frodo's self-recommendation paragraph at the meeting is very touching. He has firm beliefs, he will continue to doubt or even lose himself as he understands the world, and the complex emotions of pity and hatred with Gollum. Is it still flat? And Sam’s sincere friendship, loyal and reliable, is the strongest support, Pipin’s curiosity and love to get into trouble, Meili’s wit and courage, the king’s demeanor of Haydon, deep understanding of righteousness, Iowen’s courage and perseverance, silent Giving, Faramir's smart and weak, tragic life, Boromir's shocking self-salvation, I won't repeat them anymore, every character is so classic and cute.

Third, the characters highlight their lineage.

Maybe everyone is unwilling to accept the inheritance of blood, but inheritance is an indisputable fact. There are some things you cannot change, but you have to learn to accept and improve before you can change and upgrade.

Fourth, there are too many characters, and it is impossible to cover everything. Grasping typical characters, the portrayal of typical characters is more effective.

Chapter 3 Emotional Core

One of the reasons why the Lord of the Rings endures is its simple values ​​and emotions. Regardless of the truth that justice will eventually defeat evil

It was established in the Holy Helm Valley when the dawn arrived or during the Second World War filled with gunpowder. Even when the night was shrouded in darkness and the road ahead was boundless, one had to fight hard. Only if you give up hope will you truly fail. The love between humans and elves is even more unforgettable. "I would rather only have a lifetime than watch the vicissitudes of life alone". Love is not only romance, but also mutual support and dedication. The cooperation between races, the trust between people, the greatness of friendship, the yearning for peace, and the reverence for nature, these eternal emotions will only be forgotten, but they will never become obsolete. Another major feature is the discussion of destiny. Sometimes you can't get rid of fate (it can be understood as the immutable and uncontrollable factors of life), but you can accept it with another idea and encourage yourself to move forward. Life is a different landscape.

Chapter 4 Special Highlights of Movies

Full score in the soundtrack, the use of chorus shows the ethereal spirit of the elves, the huge power of evil, the magnificent epic sense, the metallic music of Isengard, the quiet beauty of Charles, and the courage and vastness of Rohan. Both the interlude and the ending song are too classic.

Craftsman spirit-exquisite and meticulous art design, persuasive.

The control of the script is more in line with the tastes of modern people

Thanks again to all the members who participated in the production, thank you for bringing the Lord of the Rings to the screen, so that we can embark on an unforgettable journey and have a deeper understanding of Western culture.

When yesterday becomes history, when history becomes a myth, personal destiny is intertwined with the destiny of the times, ordinary you can also become a part of history, although small, but very important.

    Aragorn: [In Elvish] Show them no mercy... for you shall receive none!

  • Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

    Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] It's the beards.

    Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!

    Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.
