However, in the process of watching the movie, there were also many feelings of "you will lose if you are serious". As a "serious emperor", I also realized that there is also a beautiful fairy tale behind the epic masterpiece. I also try to write a superficial afterthought.
1. If you are serious, you will lose.
Generally, movies have the aura of the protagonist. Even if the environment is extremely sinister, the protagonist can rely on courage, resourcefulness, and luck to save the day and turn the tide. However, after watching this drama, I feel that there are too many protagonists in this drama? Or is the protagonist's halo too powerful and shrouded the entire expedition?
Captured in a cave surrounded by a large number of orcs, even if Gandalf suddenly appeared and cast a flashbang, the dwarf warriors found all their weapons in an instant, and followed Gandalf flying through the deep valley. In the middle, break out of the siege unscathed, or 0 casualties or missing? Isn't it usually that one or two unimportant characters have to be killed or injured to look magnificent? On the contrary, watching those half-orcs, they were killed when they were hacked.
Why are these orcs still alive in broad daylight when they are pursued by wolf-riding orcs in the valley? Isn't the strong orc who is not afraid of Yangguan created by Saruman later?
When the expedition was trapped on a pine tree on the edge of a cliff, the tree fell and everyone fell to the last tree? Why didn't the orcs shoot arrows at them, even if there was fire?
Well, seriously you lose. Please don't spray.
2. Protagonist Baggins
Gandalf said he believed that ordinary people were often able to perform great responsibilities under great responsibilities. This is why, in this expedition, he brought Baggins, who was helpless, and chose Frodo as the person to carry the Lord of the Rings. Because they are so pure and simple. They are indeed neither heroes nor warriors, they seem weak and timid, they cannot bear to hurt others, even cruel and despicable enemies. Baggins couldn't make a move when he put on the ring and held a sharp blade to face Gollum's throat. However, it was also Baggins who stood up when Sorin was knocked down and was about to be beheaded, facing a powerful enemy with a meager body. They are simple, they have no ambition, they are not greedy, they keep their peace, and it is precisely because they are not greedy that they dare to give up everything, overcome fear, and face evil.
Humans, dwarves, orcs are all greedy and have desires. Dwarves are greedy for money, attracting dragons. Human beings are greedy for power and status, unable to resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings, and countless emperors have been swallowed by darkness. Orcs, greedy for pleasure and content to kill, are war machines. Therefore, they are also at the mercy of the Lord of the Rings.
In fact, in a similar "Harry Potter", Dumbledore trusts Harry Potter, who is mediocre in the eyes of many magicians, but not his "name" second-generation identity. His temperament may be similar to that of Baggins, Frodo, Sam similar simplicity, no ambition, but incomparable courage for love and right.
This fairy tale is full of metaphors for the real world.
3. When being questioned,
as a hobbit who was powerless and shorter than a dwarf, he got into some trouble along the way, and was questioned by Thorin along the way. motivation? Can you do it yourself? Are you dragging your feet? In fact, I should not be here, in fact, I am superfluous. Many times, the so-called heroic stories you see, others think afterward that you must have tenacious perseverance and extraordinary will. But often, perhaps the person involved always doubts himself and has been questioned. There is always a period of shitty experience. Maybe you did it in the end, just because you endured more and persevered.
