Movie Notes

1. This story, one is too little, and three is too much, it is very embarrassing, so I have to add the connection with the latter trilogy, but the single episode is too long. 3D, a thing that needs to mobilize the physical experience, should not exceed 120 minutes at most. 2. The technological innovation and the physical experience provided are far worse than "Avatar" and "Gravity". Although the camera is always moving, it is still moving in the traditional sense. But it does show how old techniques work in the 3D era. For example, the fade into the forest is very beautiful, and does not destroy the continuity of the space created by 3D. 3. Looking at IMAX in front this time, I still see some new experiences. When there are many artificial things in the picture, the things in the depth of the whole picture will be highlighted, which is closer to another world behind the glass than the depth scheduling of the plane. Like the glittering entities in the observation window, such a world is easier for the viewer to sink into. 4. Hollywood really never bothers with heterosexuality. It just stuffed a wild elf into the stories of a few rough dwarves. As someone who has read the novel, the biggest suspense in my next movie is how these two fucked up.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug quotes

  • Bilbo Baggins: [whispering] Everyone, climb into the barrels! Quickly!

    Dwalin: Are you mad? They'll find us!

    Bilbo Baggins: No, no they won't, I promise you. Please, please, you must trust me.

    [silence]

    Thorin Oakenshield: Do as he says.

    [They do so, and Bilbo does a head count]

    Bofur: [pokes his head out] What do we do now?

    [All the dwarves poke their heads out]

    Bilbo Baggins: Hold your breath.

    Bofur: Hold me breath? What do you mean...?

    [All the dwarves yell as Bilbo pulls the lever opening the trap door, spilling the barrels into the river]

  • Thranduil: You have found a way in. You seek that which would bestow upon you, the right to rule. The King's Jewel. The Arkenstone. It is precious to you beyond measure, I understand that. The gems in the Mountain that I, too, desire... White gems, of pure starlight. I offer you my help. I will let you go, if you but return what is mine.
