Go and come back, let's go back to the beginning of the story

My book "The Hobbit" was bought when St. Ann was studying. The bookstore in the town is not big, but there is an entire cabinet full of Tolkien's books. In the warm cabin, leaning on the radiator, the first time I turned the pages of the book under the bedside lamp was still vivid, and there were many nights I fell asleep listening to audiobooks. In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit…It was a Hobbit hole, and that means comfort. Not surprisingly, but still full of emotion. Go to London to watch a live LOTR concert, go to Oxford pilgrimage to see the one-man performance One Man Lord of the Ring at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ringer ten years, there are many memories and fragments that follow this story, this group of people, this film The earth and the earth are more or less related. I went to Russia some time ago and I had been reading "The Hobbit" on the road. So now I recall that this story also carries the breath of the Siberian plains, rivers, forests and snow-capped mountains.

From the end of the trilogy in 2004 to the present, it has been eight years. The movie "The Hobbit" almost died after several twists and turns. I still remember the letter from PJ to the fans in 2006, explaining the difficulties encountered in the film and the possibility of its death. risks of. The sentence in his letter, We got to go there, but not back again, is still sour when I think about it. I still remember that when I saw that everyone voted for PJ on theonering.net, he said that no matter how long he waited, he would never give up. There is one Fans said that I have been waiting for the Lotr movie for half my life, and don't care if I continue to wait for the Hobbit.

When I arrived in Hong Kong this weekend, I saw movie posters in the subway station, and then went to the cinema. I saw the huge posters and layouts. I still felt unreal. Until I sat in front of the screen, the huge three-dimensional newline cinema icon appeared in front of me. , I suddenly felt my dreams come true. It turns out that we can really see Middle-earth on the big screen again, see the stories of our beloved, familiar characters come to life on this land again, exciting melody and grand movement sounded again. When the old Bilbo opened the red book, when Frodo happily said that summer night party, ready to give Gandalf a surprise, time went back in an instant, nothing changed, but he already knew it. The waves behind are magnificent, and looking at the simplicity and innocence now, I always feel a little bit cried. But the real first tear was the moment Bilbo rushed out the door with his luggage on his back. He galloped through the fields and shouted: "I'm going to take an adventure!" My tears burst out in an instant. It may be because: deep down in your heart, what kind of person you are, what kind of person you want to be, will always let you make a choice at the most critical moment and take the path you are destined to go.

I watched the 48fps IMAX 3D version (in the iSquare IMAX theater in Hong Kong). It is very bright and clear. The fighting and sports shots are smooth and not dizzy at all. The sense of following is super strong, and the screen shots are very fast. Can see clearly. According to ringer who watched the 24 frame rate version, I can see more details (especially fast-moving shots), and my eyes are not tired, and I don’t feel that “it’s too real to see the pores.” . PJ is great! Support 48 frame rate! The only worry is the brightness of the projectors of ordinary domestic theaters (IMAX should be no problem). In domestic theaters, 3D is almost always dark, and I hope it can be improved.

PJ has done a lot of tribute to LOTR shots, listed below, because I only

watched it once, there must be omissions, please correct me: ===There are spoilers below, if you mind, please watch it carefully. The ringer that you haven’t watched is also the same. So as not to spoil your surprise. ====









===== Again: the dividing line of spoilers ==========



Gandalf hit the ceiling light in Bilbo’s house, paying tribute to the first same shot.
The dwarves quarreled about whether to accept Bilbo, and Gandalf suddenly became taller and gloomy and yelled at him, frightening everyone to agree. Tribute to the first shot of Gandalf bashing Bilbo.
Gandalf said to Billbo that Home is behind, the world ahead, to pay tribute to the song sung by Pippin in the third part.
Thorin fought Amog on the battlefield, and finally cut off its hand, paying tribute to Isildur's cutting off Sauron's finger in the first part.
Gandalf smashed the stone, the troll petrified in the morning light, and the camera and light paid tribute to the return of Gandalf in the third white robe.
Gandalf found the tunnel and told everyone to run "This way, you fool!" to pay tribute to the first "Fly, you fool!" before he fell into the abyss of Moria.
Lin Gu suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, paying tribute to the first part, the scene and the soundtrack, which made me get goose bumps.
The crowd was in Forest Valley, surrounded by the Elf Cavalry, paying tribute to the second part, Eomor, who led the team to surround the Aragonese trio.
The opening shot of the stone giant is a tribute to the first part of passing the mountain.
Gandalf took the dwarves to escape in the underground palace (especially the overhead shot)
Gandalf confronted King Goblin on the bridge.
Bilbo fell and the ring fell and slipped into his fingers, paying tribute to the first shot of Frodo.
Bilbo rushed forward to protect Thorin who was in a coma, paying tribute to the third Iowen and Meri resisting the Witch King, and protecting the King Theoden of Rohan.
Gandalf ordered the little moths to let King Wind come to rescue them.
The eagle grabbed Thorin, who had fainted, to pay tribute to the third eagle grabbing Frodo.
The end of the film overlooks the lonely mountain from the top of the mountain, and pays tribute to the first film that overlooks Mordor.
So, PJ said that this is a movie made by fans for fans to watch. Really, even a fan of me is a little worried about whether it doesn't take care of ordinary audiences too much. However, according to the non-ringer evaluations I watched with me, although she does not remember the content of the LOTR trilogy, she is still very happy to watch it.
In terms of the tone and pattern of the story, "The Hobbit" is basically the same as the LOTR trilogy, and successfully adapted the original structure of a relatively simple children's story to a much larger scale. The protagonist setting of the story is also the same as that of LOTR. In the dual protagonist mode, LOTR is Frodo and Aragorn, and the Hobbit is Bilbo and Thorin. The opponent has changed from the original evil dragon to the secretly accumulating and rising Sauron (it looks like it should be at the moment, and see the development of the latter two parts), both in the story and structure are in the same line with LOTR.

    At 169 minutes, there is no convincing climax in the whole film, and it will inevitably appear to be a bit lengthy. There are too many processes of self-explanation, and the foreshadowing of the grand world view is slightly insufficient. In addition, the age is a bit old, and the impression of the first three parts has been blurred.

    The precise counterpoint to LOTR is simply a spiritual haven for fans who have been wandering for many years. Returning to the Shire and Lingu is enough to make people happy (plus the reverse-growing Elrond-sama and the inattentive Gaillard Mrs. Lil); It’s not easy to equip the legendary adventure story with an epic historical view. Fortunately, the first two battles can drive the atmosphere. I hope that the next two will have a better development; the visual imagination is difficult to break through the Lord of the Rings.
