It's a pity that now, this coronation is more like a consolation prize in recognition of lifelong achievement. Even if it has been released 3 days and has made 300 million box office, "The Hobbit" is destined to fail to reach the height of "The Lord of the Rings". The only thing that is gratifying is that in addition to watching "Huo 3", I can also present the real body of the director who is close at hand and naive. It is also a Middle-earth world to see him very down-to-earth on social media. The best way for the six-part series to end perfectly.
In 1997, when Peter was preparing to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", he was anonymous and took a good sample film and ate it all over Hollywood, only the boss of a not-so-remarkable New Line film company had a discerning eye, "According to my opinion. Knowing that there are 3 original books, why not make it into 3 movies?” This trust made Peter’s blood boil. As he said, “I wanted to prove myself to the world at that time.” The "King" trilogy has won 30 Oscar nominations and won 17 golden statuettes including best picture and best director. ” is the film that has won the most Oscar awards in the history of film. This is also the first time that a magical film has won the highest award in the Oscar hall. The most important thing is that even the most critical Tolkien die-hard fans have accepted his images sincerely. Narrative, the prestige of Peter the Great has been invincible since then.
If The Lord of the Rings is Peter's best weapon to prove himself, then The Hobbit is a perk that Peter gave to himself and Middle-earth fans after he became famous. Although "The Hobbit" went through many ups and downs until it was put on the screen ten years later, at this time Peter really experienced the infinite freedom of creation. It is said that the "Lord of the Rings" series has increased by 10% for New Zealand, where the film was filmed. In order to ensure that the previous film can continue to be filmed in New Zealand, the New Zealand government even deliberately revised the labor law.
In this way, the mere 300 pages of the original book, a fireside fairy tale for children, was adapted into a magnificent epic trilogy by Peter the Great with a wave of his hand; Baggins led 12 dwarves to recover the thrilling mountain The exciting and interesting adventure eventually turned into a tragic and solemn story that metaphorically changes human nature, and only love and homeland are eternal; , The collective appearance of a group of old characters fully reflects the free and easy style that you can be willful if you have money.
"Huo 3" is the climax of the final chapter, and it is even more luxurious. The collective battle between the elves and the orcs at the foot of the lonely mountain can see the shadow of Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor in the City". The changed Elf Prince performed an incredible Super Mary jump, and the imaginative ice battle between the king of dwarves Thorin and Azog was full of stage-like elegance and paved the most gorgeous closing ceremony for the finale of Middle-earth.
Another major task of the "The Hobbit" trilogy is to achieve a seamless transition to "The Lord of the Rings". It's hard to imagine that a director shoots three films with a score of 8 or more in a row, just to create momentum for another series of great works that already exist. This is like a great video experiment.
When the old Baggins at the end of "The Hobbit 3" sat at home and once again refused to be disturbed by visitors and took out a ring from his pocket, Gandalf's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "What if it was an old friend visiting? I dare not I believe you are 110 years old", shouldn't the next shot at this time be directly connected to the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings"? Such a perfect fusion of the two works is indeed the greatest achievement of the "Hobbit" trilogy. After watching the willful "Huo 3", the next action should definitely be to quickly find the "Lord of the Rings" series after returning home to suppress shock and nostalgia!
Now it seems that Peter Jackson, 36, was more like Frodo when he planned to shoot "The Lord of the Rings". He is full of responsibility and mission to the world, and he has to prove himself through untold hardships. The Ring is sent to the flames of the Doom Mountains. Now 54-year-old Peter is more like Baggins. Whether it is the Lord of the Rings or gold, it is a solemn responsibility and a dangerous temptation. Just as the double-edged sword of power can bring strength to people and breed corruption, countless people Deeply caught in it, Baggins has never been captured by gold, he enjoys that gorgeous adventure with all his heart, but his soul is always free.
His favorite is still his own home, the Bag End hole in the Shire under the green meadows of the mountains, and he will always be the simple and innocent hobbit who hopes to plant oak seeds in his garden. Just like now Peter is no longer in a hurry to prove himself, and begins to really walk into his heart. Peter said that his next plan is to make some low-budget films based on New Zealand. He said that he doesn't like big-budget series movies, and he will never make a Marvel superhero blockbuster, although he himself once breathed a sigh of relief. 6 films were made.
In this era of superheroes and sci-fi commercial blockbusters, it has been a long time since a successful commercial blockbuster like "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" has been seen on the Oscar stage. There is a group of people who are loving movies in another way. , to show us the multi-faceted and complex life, Richard Linklater invited the same group of actors for 12 consecutive years to shoot the still water "Boyhood", no fierce fighting, no dazzling stunts, no The hoarse roar hit everyone's heart so lightly. The rapid development of science and technology has made countless imaginative imaginations real and visible, and often what impresses us is the most genuine human emotion at the beginning.
