Epic blockbusters, ten years of sharpening a sword, gods descending, James Cameron, the next era of movies, these words do not need to be explained, and they are enough to make people pay to go to the cinema to see "Avatar". . So I also took this mentality to find out about it.

"Avatar" is the work of the famous director James Cameron. Before the movie was released, the advertisements were already bombarding the sky and the sky. The major media and various media scrambled to use some extremely exaggerated words to decorate the film. Whether this is really what the media said, you still need to experience it yourself.

As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. At least I'm not disappointed with this movie, I think it's still a good movie. The movie picture can be described as gorgeous and colorful, with a strong sense of layering of the scene. The movie leads us into the magical and intricate planet of Pandora. Although the picture is gorgeous and beautiful, it can't make me feel shocked. Perhaps the vegetation of Pandora planet is too lush, which lacks the vast and magnificent. But then I carefully analyzed Pandora's tree is still very spectacular! Going straight into the sky can compete with the mountains. But it still doesn't give me a shocking feeling. Could it be that after years of blockbuster training, I have become immune to special effects and beauty? The answer, of course, is no. I re-watched some of my favorite scenes from The Lord of the Rings a few days ago. I still feel unparalleled shock. . . But we all know that whether it is the production cost of special effects or the technical level of special effects, "The Lord of the Rings" cannot be compared with "Avatar". You must know that James Cameron invested more than 300 million in the highest production cost in history on "Avatar". A search on the Internet found that the total production cost of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was only 270 million yuan. . . So the shock of "Lord of the Rings" is not brought about by the realistic effects of special effects. In the end, I came to the conclusion that shock comes from the heart, and it is not only the gorgeous scenes that can hit the heart, but also an atmosphere set off by the plot and world view of the movie. It is a kind of cultural heritage and a vision. . . In the film "Finger", when Pippin ignited the beacon of Amundin in Melastiris, when the film shot followed the continuous mountains and spread, accompanied by The White Tree's passionate and majestic soundtrack, the whole winding and magnificent Middle-earth world In front of you, the beacon fires pass between the various peaks. The distant sky is a bright group of stars. This is a fantasy world, but it is so real and so lifelike! The beacon is lit, and the hope is ignited! When Gandolf drove the king of horses to the city of kings, the movie camera followed the galloping horses and overlooked the whole city of Melastiris—the city of the king. I know that I can no longer describe the majesty of the human capital in words. Great and powerful! That is to face the deepest darkness and stand still! When the hussars of Rohan accompanied King Theoden to the White City, when the brave Rohan warriors faced hundreds of thousands of enemies of Mordor, when the age of mankind was at stake, King Theoden raised his sword and shouted The rising blood sun will see this day come when the riders of rohan's horn is blown as the riders of rohan rush through the clouds of dust and smoke to the orc formations in the city The movie gave a deep shot. Although there is only one shot, it can make people realize that the grandeur of the entire battlefield is so blood-blowing! All I know is that I was in the cinema! Feet are shaking! Goosebumps started to keep coming up! The hormones on the kidneys are constantly secreted! The blood is boiling to the boiling point! This is called the real shock that is the shock from the depths of the heart! It is related to the plot and the whole world view!

Therefore, what "Avatar" lacks is the heritage and the atmosphere. There is no such a complete world view without such a passionate soundtrack. . . resulting in an ineffective effect. But the special effects of the film are still worthy of recognition, the use of CG, the use of motion capture, and the development of technology. . That's a good thing, but it's still a long way from Lord of the Rings. . . However, there should be no problem with the global box office this time, and those few points of attention are enough to make enough money. . The above is my little experience of "Avatar". In fact, in the end, I mainly mentioned my favorite "Lord of the Rings". . . . . I am speechless myself. . . .
