The Last Middle-earth Comes to Reality

Fourteen years later, this is the last film from Peter Jackson's Middle-earth.

I once wrote that a particularly good-looking movie usually has two effects, one is to make people keep moving Star Wars from the screen to the mind and continue to shoot Mars, and the other is to make people very quiet, in the calm, you can dark tide surging for a long time. Today, from walking out of the cinema until late at night, it seems that there is not much to say, and there is not much to think about. Not that the movie is bad, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is a very well done movie in every way. It's just that there is a kind of calm that continues from the time of watching, and it may be slightly different from what I imagined. It is the first time that Middle-earth looks a little realistic.

After all, this is a prequel-type story. Although everyone says that the result is important and the process is also important, usually the challenges faced by the prequel are very big, not to mention the prequel to the altar work of "The Lord of the Rings". Fourteen years have gone by in a flash, maybe it's time for the magic to get closer to reality.

1. I personally think the last "The Desolation of Smaug" is still great. There are all kinds of big time wars and big scenes in the "Lord of the Rings" series, so in the "The Hobbit" series, the unique stories are more important than A close-up of a local small story is very good. In fact, I still hope that the fire-breathing dragon can really become the protagonist in this last part. Of course, our intuition also tells us that this is unlikely. Sure enough, after talking about the sound, Juan Fulong received the lunch soon. The evolution of the story can also be imagined from the title "Battle of the Five Armies", and it has moved to a big battle. In fact, this situation is a little disappointing, after all, no matter how big the scene is, it is impossible to surpass "The Lord of the Rings 3".

2. The story of Middle-earth is too close to reality. First of all, human beings and dwarves lose themselves in the face of power and money, or find themselves, these are themes that are never tired of talking about in real human society; secondly, the setting of love scenes, although the love in Middle-earth seems to be dead Under the knife and fork of the orcs, every drop of blood under the sharp blade is the taste of reality; finally, the 1V1 battle scenes of several characters are also very similar to various action movies in reality.

3. In "The Lord of the Rings", in addition to Sauron orcs, Saruman, who has changed from "good" to "bad", has an extremely impressive "Guru". In the previous step "The Battle of Smaug", there are also dragons This is the last role. In "Battle of the Five Armies", it is a pity that we do not see such a character.

4. In fact, there is nothing particularly bad. Although the elf king Ailong, who has only seen the color of the years, is enough to make people talk about it; Christopher Lee, who is 92 years old in reality, was still wearing a white robe at that time; these two series of films by Peter Jackson It's like the home of Orlando Bloom. After so many years, there is only the Elf Prince.

Although it was a little dull, it ended like this and returned to reality.
