Come and fight monsters

The Times commented on The Hobbit: "One of the most influential books of our generation." "A flawless masterpiece."

Tolkien was a master storyteller, and the first sentence of the book was completely unintentional He wrote it in between, and he doesn't even know why (see the foreword to The Hobbit 75th Anniversary Edition, published in 2011). The author himself is not stingy in writing and writing to describe various characters, which are lifelike. If I have the energy, I think I'd be more than happy to watch the entire Middle-earth series every weekend afternoon in the warm sun. Such a spectacular scene sometimes conveys something through the film, which is far less rich than we can imagine.

The "Lord of the Rings" series is the first complete otherworld to be touched with a perfect, wonderful, ups and downs story. To this day, I still imagine that if I have a ring, can I escape the smog, travel through the forest, and come to that world? There are elf princes who have remained unchanged for more than ten years, a circle of lovely and united hobbits, and disgusting and terrible orcs, all things there are yearning for. . .

Although the film is titled "The Battle of Smaug", the dragon "Smaug" was not seen more than halfway through the movie. It was not until more than two hours after the show that the awakened dragon and the Hobbit finally confronted each other head-on. When the dragon rushed out of the castle to attack, the film came to an abrupt end, and you found out that "The Hobbit 2" is a super luxurious trailer. If you want to know the climax of the story, you will have to wait a year to watch "The Hobbit 3" ".

Unlike Eastern Magic, which focuses on the good and evil of the adult world, Western Magic is more concerned with the needs of young audiences. "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Wait and so on", this nearly three-hour "The Hobbit" ", in fact, it can also be seen as the growth history of a weak teenager. Under its magnificent and peculiar appearance, there is a beating and powerful youthful heart.

The film continues the gorgeous and fantastic scenes of "The Lord of the Rings". The strange-shaped branches in the dark jungle are mysterious and unpredictable, and the cloud-filled forests and rolling mountains in the kingdom of dwarves in Middle-earth are overwhelming. Fire up the movie. (Some E messed up, I really want to say!!!)

The fate of Gandalf is at stake, the love between the dwarf archer and the elf goddess, the unresolved confrontation between the elf prince and the orcs, and the game between the dwarf and the dragon in the lonely mountain, Each group is cut halfway through, but it's a good show wherever it goes. Not only is it not boring, but it's full of dizzying twists and turns, making people want to grow two hearts to absorb adrenaline.

If "Water Margin" is a movie story that gathers "Chinese Hobbits" to fight "little monsters", then its advantage lies in that all the characters of the Water Margin are vividly portrayed, and it will definitely not let the audience have any doubts about any one of them. The character suffers from facial blindness. The biggest problem with the first and second parts of "The Hobbit" is that the depiction of various hobbits is too flat. Except for two or three leading characters, the others are soy sauce characters, and there is no need to show their The basic plot of the characters. This problem that cannot be ignored, the second part is much more serious than the first one. The mechanized group leveling operation is no different from the general online game plot setting.

But what we can't help but realize is that the movie "The Hobbit" really treats the movie as an industrial product. "The Hobbit Series" is first and foremost a light and shadow product derived from modern industrial technology. It has more powerful special effects production power than other film products in the world today. Driven by this power, any simple and uninteresting script bridge can be recreated with gorgeous backgrounds, coherent character actions, and bloody fights. From this point of view, the films of this series do not belong to the script in the concept of text, but only belong to the derivatives of light and shadow under modern industrial technology.

In a movie, does the story come first, or does the visuals come first? With the development of film industry technology, in the foreseeable future, we can achieve the same viewing and audio-visual effects as the plot character environment, and be immersed in the scene, turning the passive viewing in the past into active participation in the future. What the film industry presents to people is likely to be a sense of realism and brilliance that is getting closer and closer, rather than the current definition of film as an art form that integrates music, painting, architecture, and literature. While the special effects bring excitement, it also brings about a movement of the film industry to redefine the concept of film. This is also a question worth thinking about.


In the end, Bilbo entered Smaug's lair. The dragon was possessed by Sherlock. He met "Watson" and was very affectionate.

    Just a dragon, it will beat the dwarf to the bottom, and the fart is pissing, how weak is the dwarf's combat effectiveness. If you come to Nezha, you can peel it off and get cramped. Please don't come to Nezha, Jigong will do too, and the dragon will be reincarnated, and the dragon will be like a worm. After 10,000 steps, Jigong couldn't invite him. Then please ask Xiaofeng Guo Jinghong Seventh Father to slap the dead girl with the eighteen palms of the dragon.

    The disadvantage of one novel being split into three movies is finally revealed. The pacing isn't as good as The Hobbit, and the three-line narrative isn't as clever as the original trilogy. This episode probably focuses on Legolas' action scenes, Thranduil's beauty, and King Sauron's real body.

    [silence]

  • 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.
