Spending ten hours in front of the big screen, watching the epic of Middle-earth, is worth it. Of course, some shortcomings in the plot can be pointed out: almost all mistakes are caused by Pippin and Merry, who are like two plot-promoting tools; Was sprayed to perfection. But it's still visually stunning, and the heroes it portrays haven't faded, and the humanity it talks about isn't out of date. In my opinion, the most unconventional thing about Lord of the Rings is to use a cross montage but the two lines end up not converging in essence. The first The Fellowship of the Ring was established, the standard beginning of all saga, but the end of the first saw them part ways, which is a departure from the saga's blueprint. So how should this story be told? One line is the story of the hero, the other is the story of the victim. The Aragonese line is unmistakably the heroic narrative, from the vagabond re-crowned king, running around and sticking to the last line of justice. This line is grand, although it was basically expected, but when the elf reinforcements came, the moment Gandalf led the cavalry down the hillside in the early morning of the fifth day, Aragorn raised Anduril to order the undead army. At that moment, I will still be deeply moved by the persistence and loneliness of human beings. The Frodo line is the victim line, and the ending confirms my judgment even more. He is not a hero, he has not succeeded in fighting the greed deep in the heart. Three thousand years ago, this test was undertaken by Isildur. He failed because he was a strong man capable of self-defeating? This time, it was Frodo, a weakling with nothing to bear. After all the pulling, he was defeated at the last moment. The Lord of the Rings could be destroyed because Gollum, who represented the darker side, fought for it. Frodo has no highlight. The highlight of this line is in Sam, in that he would rather drown than change his mind to accompany Frodo on the road, and in him carrying Frodo up the volcano. After being divided into these two lines, The Lord of the Rings is no longer a cool drama that only has praise, it has a strong pessimistic color: The difficulty of people is to be cautious. When there is a figurative evil, we often have the courage to fight it to the end; and when suffering only happens in an invisible distance, we often do not stop the butterfly from flapping its first wings.
