It was originally a movie with the Hobbit Bilbo as the protagonist, a movie about history, but Gandalf has a dominant position.
It seems that the public love him very much.
But in "Scarleta" and "Unfinished Story", he is often mentioned as "very annoying." Because he is always thief, looking around, spying on information. He couldn't live in the same place, he was full of curiosity. His Elvish name "Mislantir" means wanderer.
Why is he annoying? This movie shows it. Whether it is a hobbit or a dwarf from Erebo, Gandalf always brings bad news. He brings along bad news. When he comes, something bad must happen. It's strange that everyone doesn't talk about his helping the poor, but about his crow's mouth.
"Look ahead and behind."-this is how he tells himself.
Ever since the Hobbit old Toby invented tobacco, Gandalf was extremely fascinated and learned the art of smoking rings. "Unfinished Story" said he confessed this to Saruman, but was ridiculed. We also see in the film that he also teaches the brown-robed wizard-Gandalf is keen on new things and loves the plain and loving life of the Hobbit.
When King Elron, Queen Galadrell, and Saruman met together this time, did you see his strange expression? He was afraid that Saruman thought he was annoying and would always make trouble. But in fact, Saruman has his own ideas about the dark wizard, and he desires power.
And Gandalf always maintained his independence and marched around. He respects Saruman, but keeps a distance from him.

Undoubtedly, the old man loves the role of Gandalf very much. On page 201 of the English version of "Letters": "Gandalf is indeed dead, Iluvit gave him a new body, as a white robe, Gandalf returned to Middle-earth."
Gandalf was specially arranged for a little Nezha's rebirth. It was originally a gray robe, but now it is a white robe. Nezha was born in the flesh, and later the bones were removed to return to his father and the flesh to return to his mother. It was a lotus body.
I remember that apart from Gandalf in the book, only the incarnation of the devil, Sauron, was reborn. And because of the Lord of the Rings, Sauron exists with big eyes. Gandalf is actually Tolkien's "Incarnation", and through him he speaks of sacrifice and love.
But it is his pan-loving people, who "doesn't accumulate wealth" (see "Unfinished Stories"), is not greedy, and loves dealing with people of all colors; it has become a thorn in the eyes of opponents, jealous, and fainthearted.
This interesting treatment undoubtedly enriched Gandalf's personality charm.
