Why do you say it's a good movie? The first reason is one word: beauty. Many times when evaluating a movie, everyone can't wait to put a lot of philosophical thoughts into it, but it's easy to ignore the beauty in it. I think The Hobbit is a very beautiful movie. This time, PJ vividly used his lens to show the magnificence of Middle-earth, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, the peaceful and peaceful Shire, and Rivendell like a fairyland. Even the gloomy and gloomy house of Sauron and the cave where Gollum was located had a different kind of beauty.
Apart from the scenery, don't you think that the way of telling stories is also beautiful? The beginning, which was criticized by many people for being too long, I watched with relish, not only because of the kindness I felt when I revisited the deceased, but also because of the bottomless history of Erpol that I told at the beginning. Dwarf lamps were lit in the mines, and the old king's desire for wealth continued to expand, and finally brought disaster, a dragon attacked, the kingdom was destroyed, a family lost their home, and the prince was reduced to iron for a living (only from the movie. Understand, sorry if the original is not like this). The line that goes with the scene where Thorin strikes the iron is so beautiful, "And he never forgave. And he never forgot". In fact, this is the way to tell a story. Telling a story is to tell it beautifully, because after all, every shot, every line, and every detail needs to be carefully tasted to be beautiful.
And the song the dwarves sang at Bilbo's house, the sadness that pervaded the low male voice, the bewilderment of being homeless and the determination to return home. In fact, I've never really liked seeing people singing in movies, I always felt it was abrupt, and the whole plot had to be followed. But this time the dwarf's singing made me admire, and I can understand Bilbo's mood when he woke up the next day and signed the contract.
The second reason: fun. The Hobbits are said to be biased towards children's books, so there are a lot of humorous little plots interspersed. Thirteen dwarves have their own characteristics and their own laughs. The troll scene made people laugh so hard that their stomach hurts. Sorin put on the expression of "these idiots" on his face and kicked him hard. With a kick of force, Kili was stunned for a moment and immediately changed his tune. The scene really made people laugh. The wizard Gandalf did nothing wrong this time. He had engraved the sign "Fools and Money Come Quickly" on Bilbo's house from the very beginning, which made my teeth itch. After all, Bilbo had just fried it and sprinkled it with lemon juice. That fish looks so tempting.
In fact, I think this prequel is better than the Lord of the Rings trilogy, because the protagonist is very fond of me. In fact, when I was watching the trilogy, I was probably overshadowed by the brilliant supporting characters, and Frodo didn't like me very much. But this time Bilbo's little liberty is really good, and that natural sassiness is a real performance (I kept thinking about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy throughout the viewing process). Compared with Frodo, who often looks bitter and hated, the cute little freedom really adds a lot to this movie.
The last reason: tragic. The sadness of this film stretches from beginning to end. From Thorin picking up the oak shield and rushing towards the Pale Orcs, to the end of the duel with the Pale Orcs again (I got wet eyes when Thorin climbed up from the roots, I think he knew he was unbeatable then, However, he still rushed out so resolutely). In fact, the theme of the 13 dwarves' restoration of the country itself is very tragic. There are only thirteen of them, homeless, sleeping in the wind, and almost desperate to seize this only goal (I heard that in the original book, Thorin is more greedy for money? Count? In order not to affect his tall image in my heart), this description sounds a bit like Aragorn, but I personally feel that this tragic depiction in The Hobbit is stronger than that of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
At the end, the protagonists breathed a sigh of relief when they escaped danger, but the dragon buried in the pile of gold coins suddenly opened his eyes. Hope the next episode will bring us more exciting adventures and moving.
