A dream in the soil, intoxicated for a lifetime

I have a bad habit of spoiling film reviews. So this thing should not be written as a film review. It's just routine pantothenic acid.

After watching the zero-point premiere, the copycat IMAX's RPX cinema, Real 3D and high frame rate are really great. After watching it, I have been telling my friends that for the first time, watching 3D without dizziness, I still have more thoughts!

The big theater is basically full, and there are others cosplaying besides me, but it's the first time I have cosplayed to watch a movie. Really, apart from the old man’s stuff, there is nothing that can make me so crazy... I

must praise the peculiar PJ casting. The actors of Bilbo and Thorin are so good. Bilbo has a lot of highlights. Thorin may become the second Uncle A (

what ?), but in fact nothing compares to the connection with the LotR trilogy.

The first wave of film reviews always looked like someone disliked the opening director. As a Ringer, I just can't wait to take another look.
When the characters in LotR movies appeared, I trembled in my seat with excitement.
PJ can play, many lenses pay tribute to LotR, Ringers will feel it.
Fans will love this movie, it's hard for non-fans to say, but PJ has always stood by the position of fans making movies for fans, and can't love him anymore!

The above words are all incoherent. In fact, what I want to say is: "The Lord of the Rings" is not just a heavy novel and three terrible movies for me. It is part of my youth, growth process and life and cannot be replaced.

"The Hobbit" is not my favorite among the old man's works, or even my second favorite. But it has its own flavor. It is the starting point for entering a vast world. After the gusty rains of "The Lord of the Rings", and after experiencing the deep love and blood that made people cry from half of the movie until the end of the movie, I returned to the fairy tale opening.

This is not only a relive of an old dream, it is also a dream come true.
At the same time, it is also the starting point of a new journey.
The journeys all happen to the same world, the same time and space, and the same group of people.




(There is one star spoiler below for those who haven’t read the original, Ringer please ignore this warning)



So when I saw Frodo appearing on the timeline at the same time as the opening of Fotor wearing green overalls, I couldn't restrain myself. That unweathered face compared with the haggard look on RotK's Doom Mountain made me feel distressed and want to cry.

So when I saw the cute Bahrain with a white beard, I thought of a tombstone struck down by a beam of light in the mine of Moria. I thought of the phrase "We cannot get out." when I saw the little and lovable Ori jumping around. The feeling of vicissitudes and impermanence came surging at this moment.

Even the elves who have no sense of vicissitudes, like the static coordinates of time and space, are the same.

The fascinating part of this world is that we know that their lives are so wonderful, and we will always only have a glimpse of it.

Thank you Professor Tolkien, thank you for giving me a dream.
Thank you PJ, thank you for enriching this dream and making it alive and bright.

A dream in the soil, intoxicated for a lifetime.

    Shire and Rivendell are almost crying me! Hearing the familiar Concerning Hobbits is also so good! Although Peanuts are very cute, but the character is not full enough, Thorin is very handsome~ So there must be someone who can shoot arrows in this series. I thought that was the patent of the elves. No one thinks the schizophrenic Gollum is actually quite cute (aesthetic distortion...) It is definitely a scam of money to make a trilogy, but who makes me a stupid fan!

    The positioning of the narrative and theme is lower than that of the first part of "League of the Rings". As long as you accept this premise, this magical adventure story can still satisfy all your imagination and expectations of it. There is a problem with the rhythm in the middle section, and Bilbo's character creation lacks strength... temporarily unable to pick out other stabs. In terms of narrative structure and character creation, it is very similar to "League of the Rings", which makes people feel like relived old love. The last hour was so exciting, Thorin was so handsome!
