Epic fairy tales can hardly be concealed to reshape classics

As a fan of fantasy, it is impossible to watch "The Hobbit 2: The Battle of Smaug" in the theater again. However, although I have regrets, I have to face it sometimes on the big screen. Movies are difficult to calm down and see something more interesting. Peter Jackson put the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy on the altar of magic movies, and once again prepared to send Tolkien's magical fairy tale "The Hobbit" on the East to a new technical altar. I don’t want to say more about how smooth the shots of The Hobbit 2 are, how exquisite the CGI, how delicate the special effects, and the excellent stage and make-up, because as an epic master, it is difficult to make the audience agree with it. feel. However, as the second part of The Hobbit, there are still many things to be praised.

Compared with the first "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", the second is obviously better than the first in terms of rhythm and action. In the first plot, it can be said that Gandalf is setting up troops everywhere, while the second is like the Red Army's Long March, the army began to encounter various obstacles on the road. Of course, the entire rhythm of the second part is quite tight, and each plot unit is closely connected, so that people will not deviate from the general plot trend. The narrative method of multi-line narrative in "The Lord of the Rings" is also added. Although it is only a two-line narrative of Bilbo and Gandalf, it is obvious that PJ is working hard to develop "The Hobbit" to the film narrative mode of "The Lord of the Rings". However, as a commercial blockbuster, there are also flaws in the plot, that is, the repetition of the model. The entire second part is nothing more than a piece of three stories and there is no big climax. Whether it is the Spider Forest, the Elf Kingdom, or the Lonely Mountain Dragon, each episode has a small climax, but on the other hand, the plot of the whole movie can't find the climax in the three episodes. In fact, if the last Lonely Mountain Dragon is put on for another 10 to 15 minutes, and Dragon Quest is more, the climax scene will be clear at a glance. (Ps: I’m still entangled. Who translated the battle of Smaug, did you see the fight with the dragon? Did you fight? Your sister, the last shot stopped on my Chao Master’s face in shock and horror. I just saw PJ's name, isn't this teasing me?)

In fact, the performance of this second actor is remarkable. The tide master unquestionably continues to maintain the hobbit's wisdom and stupidity with a stupid face. Juan Fu can be regarded as a successful entry into Hollywood from the BBC. Although "Star Trek" has been squeezed into Hollywood before, this Hobbit not only allows him to enter the late stage of Hollywood special effects, but also directly enter the epic series. It is worth mentioning that the screen image of BC as a slave owner in "Twelve Years as a Slave" is deeply rooted in my heart. The British fan and the noble and glamorous expression are simply too suitable for the role image. What makes me unable to calm down the most is that the elven prince has finally come out! Although Orlando Bloom has been criticized for performing bluntly in many films, this fairy prince really shows the cold but not cold, beautiful but not greasy, handsome but not surprised wood fairy prince to the fullest. Archery postures are so heroic, handsome and charming, such an elf prince is not where to find Orlando!

The entire "The Hobbit 2" once again brought an epic magnificent viewing effect to the audience. The magical elements such as dwarves, elves, and wizards are mixed together, and most people have to rely on the epic. However, "The Hobbit" is actually just a fairy tale. Hollywood once again used its excellent and leading industrial system to adapt this fairy tale into three epic masterpieces. Although it lacks so much fun of fairy tales, even if it was originally a bedtime story, through Hollywood, even the smallest fairy tale can become a golden sign, plus Peter Jackson's skill level in manipulating the "Lord of the Rings" series, such a small The small fairy tales finally presented before everyone are three epic blockbusters, each for nearly three hours. Exquisite castles, dark ruins, forests full of fantasy... All the magical sense of sight brings the entire series of movies to a fascinating new world, just like "Gravity", which makes people admire the vastness and mystery of the universe, and like "Youth School", people admire the wonderful journey. What you see and hear, like "Harry Potter", dreaming at night will be as fascinating as going deep into the magical world. The dream-making function of the movie is infinitely magnified so that everyone can come into contact with such a dreamlike "reality". Hollywood's mature industrial system and industrial processes make such dreams lasting, so long as to have to sigh the greatness of technology. There is no doubt that "The Hobbit" will continue to reshape a new magical new classic like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". Such classics can withstand the temper of history and can withstand everyone. To torture how the film history creates "realism".

ps: After watching it, I have too many feelings, and as a magic fan, I am undoubtedly full of infinite longing for this East Earth world. Plus it is the so-called 48-frame movie (although it is basically invisible). It is completely deeply attracted. Lived. Under the spoiler, the first scene of the film at the beginning of the film is the director Peter Jackson, who is definitely an inspirational model for weight loss. Today I just watched the news that HBO’s American drama "Game of Thrones" might make a movie. It was so exciting to think that this epic story could go from a small screen to a big screen.
Oh, yes, let me spit again, Smaug, do you want to be so verbose, like a middle-aged aunt, who babbles for a long time and is arrogant and dying, I don’t know the last thing, but the most talked about in a fight is the easiest to get Kill it? And PJ, I can’t stand your ending. After reading it, a word appeared in my mind: "Damn"

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug quotes

  • Gandalf: Oh, it's you.

    Radagast the Brown: Why am I here, Gandalf?

    Gandalf: Trust me, Radagast. I would not have called you here without good reason.

    Radagast the Brown: [Radagast removes his hat to allow the birds to hide underneath] This is not a nice place to meet.

    Gandalf: No, it is not.

    [They exit the tomb]

    Radagast the Brown: These are dark spells, Gandalf. Old, and full of hate. Who's buried here?

    Gandalf: If he had a name, it's long since been lost. He would have been known only as a servant of evil. One of a number.

    [He shines his staff into the chasm, revealing the doors of the tombs, all with the bars broken open]

    Gandalf: One of nine.

  • Thranduil: [stares at Bilbo] I know you're there. Why do you linger in the shadows?

    [Bilbo thinks he's been found out...]

    Tauriel: [steps out from behind Bilbo] I was coming to report to you.

    Thranduil: I thought I ordered that nest to be destroyed not two moons past.

    Tauriel: We cleared the forest as ordered, my Lord, but more spiders keep coming up from the South. They are spawning in the ruins of Dol Guldur. If we could kill them at their source...

    Thranduil: That fortress lies beyond our borders. Keep our lands clear of those foul creatures. That is your task.

    Tauriel: And when we drive them off, what then? Will they not spread to other lands?

    Thranduil: Other lands are not my concern. The fortunes of the world will rise and fall, but here in this kingdom, we will endure.

    [Bilbo sneaks past him, Thranduil senses something and looks in Bilbo's direction but sees nothing]
