      Seeing Human Nature from "The Hobbit 2: The Battle of Smaug" (3)

      When the dwarves finally escaped from the elf kingdom and temporarily avoided the pursuit of the orcs, they were fortunate to meet the "revolutionary" Bard of Longhu Town, who helped them cross the Long Lake and came to the last road to the Lonely Mountain. stand.

      Bud is very worth mentioning. From him we can see a person's struggle against evil forces, his deep love for his family, and his fear of the ultimate evil force - Smaug. This man fuses the desires and contradictions of the...

      Turn and turn in the ruins

      The real desolation is in the pocket that bilbo turned over and over. In the section of the most porridge rapids warrior drifting, the swift and agile little leaves are replaced by the RPG, and the daddy Semei is cool and noble, and he turns his head, turns his body, and swings his sword. I can hold it. Thorin is still bitter and affectionate, Kili has both sides, one hand is close to brotherhood, one hand crosses the world and the world, smaug has changed from a fire dragon to a golden dragon,...

      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...

      Not as good as the first one, not as good as the original

      I'm not a very good whistleblower, and I'll be a little weirder in my grooves.

      I like the first one very much, because the first one restores the original work as a whole, and I am deeply impressed by Lao Tuo's easy and playful way of telling stories to his son. Especially in the part where the dwarves visited Bilbo, the dwarves came one after another, and Bilbo's hospitality and cleanliness produced a good joke. In fact, this scene also appeared in the Bichon family in the second...

      All kinds of big characters have appeared, and the scene is much better than the boring first one. Dragons talk too much, and their IQ is slightly lower. If you have to suffer without subtitles, let’s talk about the accents of various races. The hobbits, elves, and Gandalf are easier to understand, while dwarves, orcs, humans from the fishing village, and dragons have heavier...

      The reason for liking The Hobbit is not only the visual effects, but also the spirit of exploration of this magnificent but dangerous world. "The hometown is behind, and Guanshan is in front". It is impossible to do it, and embark on a journey for ideals and missions. In this episode, Gandalf is left behind, and you don't have to act in front of the dwarf photos. When Smaug saw his friend, he turned on the chat mode, and he stopped playing before he could use his housekeeping...

    The Hobbit: Negative Comments on the Battle of Smaug

    The result is the most important. The result of the film is: as a story, as an adventure, as the direction of a work of art, as a visual spectacle, it is as desolate and failing as the title in almost every aspect. ( " San Francisco Chronicle " review
    The biggest problem focusing on "The Hobbit 2" is still too long. The 166-minute movie length and the 3D version still make people's eyes a little uncomfortable. Although the second...
