I was born in a small northwestern county, and my world has been far blocked by high mountains since I was a child. This is a national-level impoverished county (of course it’s better now). Although I was born in the county, my household registration is also an urban household registration, but compared to In the countryside deep in the mountains, there are just more shops and more roads here. I am a mindless person. The real world blocked by high mountains has become a settlement, but high mountains can’t stop my love of fantasy. When I was young, I couldn’t get out of the mountains, but my fantasy can go anywhere, of course. , You can also go to the mysterious and magnificent Middle-earth world. When I was a child, I read countless fantasy literature. I can’t count how many of them. Then I became fascinated by Zheng Yuanjie, sci-fi, and fantasy. Of course, I became fascinated by classical literature and art. The fantasy of ancient historians. It was relatively late to really come into contact with the Lord of the Rings. Although I was dreaming of a piece of land a long time ago, there is the most evil devil, with the noblest souls, and various races shuttled back and forth on the continent. Intertwined with love and hatred. I never thought that those fantasies could come true. Just like I didn't expect that I would become a fan of the Lord of the Rings. I was in junior high school when I first came into contact with The Lord of the Rings. I saw "The Two Towers" and the terrifying battle at the end of the film attracted me. So I gradually finished watching it, and gradually realized that I was already in high school after watching it all. I didn’t like it very much at first, probably because of the hideous orcs and the darker tones of "The Two Towers". Even seeing a vampire would be in a trance for a week. It was not until later, after watching the trilogy, learning about novels, and knowing the stories before and behind the scenes of novels and movies, that I fell in love with the Lord of the Rings. But it wasn't until after watching "The Battle of Smaug" that I realized that I had become a silly fan without knowing it. Realism has always had a lasting and unremitting impact on fantasy. Mainstream literature has been digging into the corner of fantasy, pulling "The Left Hand of Darkness" into mainstream literature, re-deconstructing the Gothic fantasy style in "Wuthering Heights" and transforming " Sand Dune and The Lord of the Rings all pulled into their camps, sturdy walls and clear fields, and demarcated the boundaries between "lower" and "childish" fantasy literature. I also like some realism masterpieces, but I just like them. Why must literature and art take reality as the highest standard? Reality is cruel enough, isn't the so-called realism also a product of fantasy. So, why do they discriminate against the purest fantasy? Why not admit that fantasy literature can also keep pace with the mainstream, and it can also be left in history? If fantasy literature is prone to corruption, isn't sex novels also a product of the corruption of reality novels? Yes, they have no reason. Just like the evil dragons and humans have no reason to prevent the thirteen dwarves from walking towards their hometown. So in the process of watching the movie, I always maintained an excited and happy mood. Even if I know that the bear people in the original book are much richer than in the movie, even if I see evil dragons and orcs using various methods to delay the length of the movie, even if I see the emotional scenes of the elf warriors, even if I see The elven prince became an automatic meat grinder, even if I saw Gandalf lead to Sauron, the presence of the scene was weak, even if I saw the ending dragon rise from the gold unscathed, the local tyrant, the blind, the dog’s eyes, angrily bullied the soft and feared the hard time. Everyone cursed cheating in their hearts, but I still love it deeply. Just because I love fantasy too much. I want to go back to the beautiful middle-earth, to see the stories and characters that seem to have nothing to do with our world, but are in fact inextricably linked. They all live in another world. The world I once imagined. So I also love its shortcomings. In fact, these shortcomings are far less serious, and they are unavoidable. The reason is that I saw that the bean friends have analyzed it perfectly, and I deeply agree. The Lord of the Rings movie has been labelled by realists since its birth. When the Two Towers lost the Oscars, some people commented that the film industry has not fallen. On the contrary, I feel that the emotions, connotations and stories in the Lord of the Rings are much more real than realism. Fantasy has never been popular culture, never been, although the Tolkien family refused to sell the rights to adapt Tolkien's other works because of the rampant pop culture. But they were wrong. The ones who really love fantasy like their parents are actually only a small group of people, a small group of people who are incompatible with the mainstream in real life. They have been lonely and closed, and they have always hoped to have one. When they see the brighter sun through the window, they will be called idiots by others, unrealistic by others, and despised by others. But so what. Real life will gradually smooth out the edges and corners of fantasy, obliterate something called childlike innocence, and destroy something called imagination. I am very fortunate that because of the backwardness of my hometown, I was able to keep a cent. I dare not claim to be a person who loves fantasy at the same level as Tuo Lao, but I know I do love, and always have been. I don’t know if one day, I will be flattened by life, and lost the desire and emotion of fantasy. When I sit in the cinema to watch a movie, I just look at the special effects, look at the actors, and watch it with a mindless mood. All movies, all books after reading. I don't know, because I fear infinitely. But at least for now, I still have "Battle of Smaug" and I can re-enter that piece of Middle-earth. I don't want much, it's just a fantasy.
