I have booked a ticket for the second brush, and I am going to kidnap the base friend who has finished the final exam. I just got home and I have too many thoughts, so I just stayed up all night to write.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
More than ten years ago, thanks to one of my colleagues on Western fantasy literature The obsessive cousin bought the first three Chinese versions of Harry Potter just published as a birthday present for me. At that time, I was a veritable elementary school student, and my impression of foreign countries was limited to Hans Christian Andersen and Green, but my cousin said that I would not play Bubble Bobble unless I read some books. After reading the first three chapters of the Philosopher's Stone, I was shocked, and then I didn't have a good class that week. My cousin saw that I liked it so much, so she was proud to sell a copy of Amway: I had read another set of English novels in school before, but I didn't seem to have seen the translated version for sale. I copied the name to you, you You can look it up online with a dictionary.
So a year or two later, the Chinese version of The Lord of the Rings came out, and I was just abducted into Middle-earth. By the way, you were misunderstood by your family as reading foreign novels all day long and checking the Internet. You must love English very much. As a result, if you didn’t pay attention, you were kicked out and became a study dog.
After that, I met the Hobbit movie version.
Needless to say, the LOTR trilogy is hard to match with a generation of classics. But the Hobbit and the Silmarillion are not so famous in comparison, and after the cousin went abroad again, they lost contact and lost a friend. The Lord of the Rings is relatively obscure for children, and it is not a work that can fall into the plot at a glance. So I was still in the process of developing my interest in The Lord of the Rings when the Hobbit translation quietly came out, and I missed it. After The Return of the King was released, I had more and more access to the Internet at that time, so I knew that the Hobbit and the Silmarillion existed. But I didn't get much interest in this prequel because I thought the trilogy was complete and beautiful enough. A few years after I went abroad, the filming of The Hobbit film started, and the publicity borrowed enough of the limelight of this article. The actors were all great, so I bought the original and came back to make up for this long-missed story. I think I can watch some more The story of the earth world is also good.
This supplement is a yearly longing, looking forward to the ending of the Battle of the Five Armies.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
[There are a lot of death plot descriptions, please be careful...]
Actually The Battle of the Five Armies has really little impact on the so-called special effects scenes compared to the first two.
The unexpected journey and the large-scale fight in the Smaug Desert, the cave forest, the long lake and the lonely mountain, are relatively complex scenes, full of space. In contrast, the big scene of the Battle of the Five Armies is that a bunch of troops are on the ground, smashing, shooting, shooting, smashing, and it is neither aesthetically pleasing nor shocking. If you go for these, you don't need to spend money.
However, the selling point of the Battle of the Five Armies should have been the ending of several protagonists. And for me personally, this movie is pretty well done at this point, and it can pierce people's hearts.
When the first trailer came out, the atmosphere was really sad, from the lines to the BGM, it was sensational to the extreme. But that's not the case with the movie itself. There is really no slow atmosphere, a few lunch boxes are quite crisp, there is not a lot of emotional struggle before death, and even the fight between the protagonist and the BOSS is handled very neatly. A typical comparison is one of the few bentos in LOTR, Big Pineapple. Before he sacrificed, he had a conversation with the Emperor from the boss battle to his deathbed. The movie took a lot of effort to describe his behavior and psychology in detail. And the battle of the five armies, Kili and Fili, what about telling a story about the former love, putting a POSE, saying a philosophical word, and looking at each other with affectionate memories, nothing at all, just a single kill, almost to the point where I burst twice in a row, and I didn’t give it at all. Your mental preparation time is really frightened. I know you guys can't survive, but can you give me some buffer time. Especially Fili, I thought it would at least give him a dignified expression or see through life and death, but it didn't! ! ! It was just taken out and pierced through! ! ! He was terrified himself! ! ! Just let him kneel directly? ! Thorin and Bilbo's faces when Fili fell, the tears that Tauriel held back after Kili was pierced through his heart, and even after Thorin's death, no one rushed up crying, which is even more in the hearts of people. He cut a knife, unprepared, so shocked that he could only open his mouth to watch at that moment.
Bilbo and Thorin are the only ones who have a few lines after the bento. They don't talk much, and they echo the previous sentence and cut you to death by the way. Go back to where you should be and live a peaceful life, you keep that seed, plant some trees and watch them grow. Farewell Master Baggins. Bilbo didn't even give any response, just subconsciously dealt with the wound, until Thorin didn't move, he began to cry a little, and kept saying that the giant eagle came to help, you will be fine, it will be fine. After that, he shrank on the steps and watched the dried tofu tinkering with his pipe beside him. After watching it for a long time, he showed a small smile, which was especially uncomfortable. I especially liked the plot that no lines were used to show their respect and love for Thorin. The two people who have experienced everything from beginning to end look at each other, thinking about finally going back and forth to a peaceful life, and some people are no longer there, leaving only those few close friends who have experienced vicissitudes of life.
Like Balin said, the war was over, and they became a legend. Except for a few close relatives and loved ones, who would really care about the splendor of those sacrificed heroes in their lifetimes. Bilbo didn't really say until he got back to Bag End, he wasn't that legendary to me, he was my friend.
Other lenses are remarkable. The Smaug dungeon was a bit of a surprise at the beginning of the movie, I thought it would be a little more for the main storyline. When the brown robe cover grandma Elrond King Saruman went to save the dried tofu, the battle was handsome! arrive! fly! rise! ! ! Exploding the fashion value, if Saruman hadn't defected long ago, I really want to give him a big compliment, and the white robes flew up and down to fight the Nazgul (the nine Nazgul, I should have heard correctly?), It feels more eye-catching than dry tofu in the Lord of the Rings. Chris Tofu, you are over 90, take it easy. The blackened grandma Gai had seen it once in The Lord of the Rings, and she felt more attractive in the Battle of the Five Armies. The two times she raised her hands to destroy the enemy could be called a total attack. King Ailong and Dawang will not talk about it. With that face, waist and buttocks (no), coupled with the fighting action, any picture can be used as wallpaper. The love triangle is handled just fine. The elf prince is still handsome and handsome, and he was sent by his own ADA on a journey to find a friend. Thorin likes the act of throwing the crown. Beorn showed his face, and the full scene should be in the extended version. Bowman, as always, sweeps away girls and women. Alfrid is half a friend. He is a good man, a father, and a leader. He has no friends.
After the ending, PJ also did a great job. The Hobbit and the Wizard go through the various scenes from which they came, before returning to the Shire before parting. After Bilbo walked into Bag End, he picked up the plot of the dried tofu from the Lord of the Rings, and picked up the beginning of an unexpected journey. The familiar lines and the familiar tone of voice did not change at all, and they were finally fixed on the map. The theme song at the end, Pippin, hits the heart, and the picture also chooses a sketch like the return of the king, earning all the tears and applause of my brain-dead fans.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Talk about shortcomings. In fact, I still think that this movie will be more meaningful with there and back again. The ending can be made longer. Compared with the return of the king, it is also the finale, but it lacks a lot of epic flavor. I feel that PJ can do it. Better yet, this is my personal preference and hypocrisy. For the whole movie, there are some problems with the plot control. Except for the dragon slaying and the battle against Sauron at the beginning, the later war plot is too monotonous (the original part was written less, and there is no way to make any tricks), but this defect was rejected by the protagonist. The characterization of the regiment makes up a large part, and the rest depends on whether the extended version can make up more. Thorin's crown throw was great, but his mental path was actually quite abrupt, and the special effects were a little weird, not as good as his tangled description of Bilbo's friendship during his dragon sickness.
Having said that, the Hobbit is told all day long about the fictional new characters of the plot. In fact, objectively speaking, the Hobbit trilogy is aimed at Middle-earth fans, and it is basically not suitable for those who have not watched LOTR, but for most audiences who love Middle-earth, each plot is an interesting story. Easter eggs that make you cry. Tolao's works have this charm, and PJ's works have this ability. Feelings are worth remembering. For 12 years, I have been very happy to be this crazy fan, and I like this ending very much.
It's all over, it's all good and bad, just keep what you think is the most beautiful.
Farewell Middle Earth. Farewell my dreams.
