The popular "The Lord of the Rings", only three episodes is obviously not enough. Fortunately, the original "Lord of the Rings" is a huge book (my French teacher said the original book was "a thousand times better" than the movie, but it still failed to inspire my patience to read the original book), you can take some chapters at will, just Can make a movie of more than two hours. The story in "The Hobbit" is just the first step in the long march of the dwarves to find their lost homeland. More than a dozen dwarfs, even a group of little devils hiding in the ground, almost couldn't handle it, and they didn't know how to regain their lost homeland from the dragon.

If you comment on the original work of "The Lord of the Rings", it should be said that it is a synthesis of "Journey to the West" and "The Complete Works of Jin Yong". The dwarf country, the elf country, the creatures in the underground, the dance of demons, and all kinds of "people" appear in turn. The dwarves seem to be the most tragic, and they have no magic power at all. The scene where a group of big birds picked up the desperate dwarves immediately felt like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Tiny and mediocre in appearance, Martin Freeman played a frustrating-looking Watson in the BBC's modern Sherlock Holmes and remains a frustrating character in The Hobbit . But his importance should be shown in the sequel. In his play against the dwarves, he relived the gags with Sherlock Holmes, which was very interesting.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey quotes

  • Bilbo Baggins: I have... I have never used a sword in my life.

    Gandalf: And I hope you never have to. But if you do, remember this: true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.

  • Dori: Mr. Gandalf, can't you do something about this deluge?

    Gandalf: It is raining, Master dwarf, and it will continue to rain until the rain is done. If you wish to change the weather of the world, you should find yourself another wizard.

    Bilbo Baggins: Are there any?

    Gandalf: What?

    Bilbo Baggins: Other wizards?

    Gandalf: There are five of us. The greatest of our order is Saruman the White. And then there are the two Blue Wizards... You know, I've quite forgotten their names.

    Bilbo Baggins: And the fifth?

    Gandalf: Well, that would be Radagast the Brown.

    Bilbo Baggins: Is he a great wizard, or is he more like you?

    Gandalf: Well, I think he is a very great wizard... in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals for others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East, and a good thing too. For always evil will look to find a foothold in this world.
