it from the perspective of a pure audience. First of all, it must be admitted that I am not a fan of the Lord of the Rings. When the movie trilogy of the Lord of the Rings was released, I was still an innocent child. Although the scenes of the movie were majestic and magnificent, the complex historical background of the novel, the numerous characters on the scene, and the racial setting that I had never encountered before really made me young at that time. I have no way to look inside. It is not an exaggeration to say that last year I thought that I would not touch anything related to the Lord of the Rings.
It was Martin Freeman that became acquainted with Hobbit. As we all know, MF became popular because of his participation in the role of Watson in BBC's Sherlock, allowing more foreign fans to strengthen the British actor. I have since become one of MF's many NC fans. Following the news of MF, I learned that he will play the leading role in the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. At this time, I just started to look forward to seeing my idol on the big screen. There hasn't been much interest in the Hobbit itself.
I really started to pay attention to the Hobbits themselves due to several reasons: 1. I have made a lot of friends on the Internet who like MF as much as I do. There are many fans of the Lord of the Rings in the chat. How much respect for the original work; Second, the domestic release schedule has been postponed repeatedly;
these two reasons made me a little tempted to truly understand the Hobbit. First, I downloaded the original English version from the Internet. Only the original can reflect the true essence. At the same time, it is the best of both worlds to do English reading on weekdays. Then I re-watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy at night when I had free time for three days. (Sure enough, at this age, I can find the wonderful places of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.)
Now you can say that you are a hobbit fan without a guilty conscience~ The
waiting period is torment, but also very happy. The overwhelming interviews, evening parties, and magazine reports also made me very happy as a fan of MF. The low-key MF seldom can bring us so much news in such a large concentration. The domestic procrastination was even more procrastinated. Wanda Magazine advertised that the peripherals sold at the time of the release also lost everyone's appetite. Finally, at 0:00 on February 22nd, I stepped into the theater with great excitement.
At the beginning of the scene where the old Bilbo played, I couldn't help but feel fortunate to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Only by watching that can I understand the scene where the director PJ pays tribute to the trilogy. For many fans of the Lord of the Rings, these tears are definitely not a lie. Even as a new fan, there is still an indescribable excitement in their hearts when they hear the theme song.
Because I am not a true Lord of the Rings fan, I have no right to discuss the difference between these original works and the movie, so I will just talk about it briefly from the perspective of the movie.
It is a pity that, except for the LotR trilogy and The Hobbit, I have not seen other works by the director PJ, although King Kong and the ninth district are very famous because it is not my favorite genre. So I can only compare the LotR trilogy and The Hobbit. Comparatively speaking, I think The Hobbit is a more exciting commercial film than The Lord of the Rings. In terms of controlling rhythm, Hobbit has reached a very high level. In the nearly three-hour movie, almost none of the shots were superfluous, and the climax was repeated. In addition, there are humorous and vivid elements in the lines, which makes the audience look very relaxed. In the action scenes, 14 people fell and fought among thousands of troops, which made me hooked! In terms of actor selection, I won’t say too much about MF (otherwise the whole story will be in Su MF). Thorin played by RA has swept the vast majority of female audiences. This character has a larger image adaptation, and the film has shaped Thorin. Full of heroism, I personally feel that towards the end, Thorin stepped forward to face Azogor alone. The period was a bit of a failure. First of all, it took a long time. Secondly, he had used such a long shot to express Thorin’s tragic and majestic, but he was caught in one round. Knocked to the ground... The somewhat nonsensical comedic effect is not what the director wanted. (This is the only place that I think is a failure.)
Since the Hobbit itself is Tolkien's reading material for his son, the novel is more readable and entertaining than the Lord of the Rings written later. It’s easier to adapt it. The story is not like the Lord of the Rings with too much content and too complicated. The details are supplemented by the Lord of the Rings and the Lord of the Rings appendix. The screenwriter and director are very accurate in positioning this film, and at the same time it has a wider audience than the Lord of the Rings.
Okay, again, I am a hobbit fan, not a fan of the Lord of the Rings. [Lord of the Rings fans, please don’t shoot me, there is no malice at all. The Lord of the Rings is also a movie I like very much]
The scene where Smaug snatches the Lone Mountain at the beginning of the film is very exciting! Smaug didn't really walk into the camera. Following the narration, he first took us to observe the prosperity of the dwarves, and then went to the children to fly kites down the mountain. When they regard the evil beast as a legend, they have already lost their due guard against danger in their ease. There was a whistling sound in the distance, a flame swallowed the kite, and also occupied the rich lonely mountain. At the end of the film, Smaug was hidden in gold coins and opened its viper-cold eyes, revealing its bloody and brutality. I have to say that the director is really here to give us a big burden. I am looking forward to the release of the lower part.
Regarding special effects, I sigh incomparable and never counted. The grand scene is comparable to Avatar, with many subtle details added. What is still fresh in my memory is that at the beginning of the film, the handle of the mailbox in front of Bilbo's pocket hole was slightly swayed due to the vibration, which made me feel like I was there in person. It's a pity that we can't experience the 48-frame screening effect in China. Because many actions are very fast, some shots are slightly blurred. It is estimated that 48 frames will more or less make up for this defect.
It's time for Su MF! ! ! ! The words here are incoherent! ! ! Non-MF fans can be skipped here! ! !
Chao Ye is so handsome and cute! ! ! !
When I saw the first act of his appearance, I warned my friends next to me to stop me and not let me go up and lick the screen!
The sad eyes when the dwarves swept away the food from the bottom of his bag! After seeing the various methods of death in the contract, I fainted straightly. I got up in the morning and looked around quietly. At a time, the chicken blood signed and ran out to follow the team... Cat waist escaped the goblin's capture and wanted to run secretly. Back to the bottom of the bag, bravely stepped forward and rescued Thorin... At the end of the hug of love~ Every scene made my love for Chao Ye deeper! I think even non-MF fans can honestly say that his portrayal of Bilbo is very good.
The Hobbit is a very good commercial film. Different from other commercial films, it contains the humanities that other commercial films lack and what it means to many people. For many movie fans, it is like a milestone, nostalgic for their youth, but also for the future. Tolkien weaves a world with words, and between the lines allows us to see the wonderful life of every character in Middle-earth, while Peter Jackson weaves a dream with movies, and the special effects allow us to experience the feeling of stepping on this land. .
For a thousand spectators, there are a thousand hobbits. I cannot and will not represent other people. This movie will definitely receive mixed reviews, but I fell in love with the feeling of this dream. For me, this is an excellent work.
Finally, may Bilbo Baggins' foot hair never fall off!
