At the beginning of the story, after Smaug's death, Bard led the residents of Long Lake to Gushan. The negotiations were unsuccessful, and an army of half orcs struck when the flames of war were about to break out. The moment the elves leaped out from behind the Iron Hill dwarves hit my tears and opened the prelude to the Battle of the Five Armies.
The description of the Battle of the Five Armies in the original book has only five chapters, and Peter Jackson sets up more specific contradictions and conflicts for each character. The protagonist Bilbo in the book is not as fearless as he portrayed in the later stage of the movie, but he is still a benevolent hobbit. Unlike Frodo in the Lord of the Rings, he did not shoulder an arduous mission and had to restrain himself from being deceived by darkness at any time. In the last one, Bilbo's inking is less than the previous two, and his role is relatively weak, but he still completed a more critical link-taking advantage of the night to hand the Thorn family heirloom diamond to Bard And Thranduil.
Thorin is perhaps the most fully portrayed character in the whole film. Many facial close-ups are used in the film to highlight the influence of the Lonely Mountain Treasure on his mind. "Betraying" him was unbelievable, and the final words of repentance were felt one by one across the screen. Richard Armitage contributed a lot.
I don't know why I think of Boromir. It is not that the two are similar. The former is a king and the latter is a warrior. Their personality settings are also completely different. It is just that both of them have been bewitched by external forces, inducing greed, struggle, and sobriety. They are real, flesh and blood, and with a tragic and tearful ending, it is natural to win favor and respect.
Bard's drama is only a lot more than the original, PJ added him a son and two daughters, so that he has a good fatherhood (charm value bonus) while slaying the dragon. The Bard in the movie is almost perfect, wise, courageous, gentleman style, in my eyes perfection is close to the emperor, it seems a bit unreal, but heroic and handsome, awakened the girl I thought I had fed the dog a long time ago Heart.
At the same time, Legolas was also parachuted by a mother who is said to love him (not shown). In this way, the two lines of Bard and Legolas both contain family cards.
Another outstanding character is the last elf king of Middle-earth. What's interesting is that Thranduil in the book is more close to the people and compassionate, and Bilbo respects him very much. Lee Pace's face and makeup look a bit coquettish, and it is inevitable to look evil.
At the edge of the frozen mountain lake, Thorin closed his eyes forever. Sitting on the stone steps were Biblo, who was sad, and Gandalf, who was holding a pipe but couldn't light the flint. Maybe he was amused by Gandalf's behavior, and the two sad faces looked at each other with a faint smile. I think this bridge section is well designed. Unfortunately, the plot in front of Thorin's grave was not filmed. It would be a moving scene. I don't know if it will be included in the extended version.
Looking back on the original book, I suddenly felt that compared to the movie, the journey in the book was like a fireside adventure, and the writing style was more lively. During the reading process, I felt "the past" always looks beautiful, and after the reincarnation is another "May Good time".
As an unqualified Lord of the Rings fan, two and a half hours is not as long as many people say. I enjoy every minute and every picture in this movie. I shed a few intermittent tears, and the familiar background music may be the catalyst. There are also flaws and grooves, such as the open Legolas, the twisted love triangle, and the slightly abrupt Thranduil—PJ has given the elves in the Hobbit more intense emotional fluctuations than in the main story, and cannot be judged whether it is good or not. Well, every viewer has his own likes and dislikes.
At the end, the scene turned back to the last pure land of Middle-earth, remembering the dwarves sitting around the fireplace and singing the lonely mountain on the eve of the departure, and the light of the jumping fire reflected their absent-minded faces. The long and detailed adventure contract was still folded in the pocket of the old jacket, and the employer of the contract was no longer there. Charles is still a fairy tale in the valley, and people in the bag-bottom hole of the green wooden door go upstairs. If the sun shines into the house, it may be able to trace the dancing dust. Concerning Hobbits echoed in my ears, making me cry like myself twelve years ago.
Suddenly hummed In Dreams the night before. I once sang (broken sound) in class in music class, and played with musical instruments. I hadn't heard the lyrics for many years.
In dreams we will meet again. This adventure begins in May and ends in May.
PS. The title is borrowed from Gandalf's description of his first encounter with Thorin in "Lone Mountain Mission". Originally it was just a short comment. After a few words were scattered and over-coded, I would post them here, and add them after thinking about it.
