In fact, in the original book, the fall of Alsace is sad and lamentable, but it is not wronged at all.

In World of Warcraft, the plot "The Fall of Arthas" has always been one of the top three popular plots of Warcraft, because it is too in line with the aesthetics of modern people, and perfect justice is in pursuit of strong protection, but in the end it has been destroyed. Sit back and wait for the second or third part of World of Warcraft, it's almost time to start anyway. Thrall and Arthas shoot together, one is a savage and lowly orc slave, the other is a noble and righteous Terran prince who is in search of hope, and finally one becomes the leader of the orcs who are the heroes of the race, and the other loses himself and becomes a death knight. The very different fates of two princes (sons of chiefs) of different races are extremely contrasting endings, and this kind of plot is beautifully designed.

The fall of Alsace is actually a matter of course and logical.

There are two reasons for this.

Let's start with the reason.

As a prince, Arthas had seen horses as a child and an orc shelter, so he valued life and decided to love defending his people. But he has a character flaw, that is, he does not allow himself to fail and cannot accept setbacks. One of them is that when he was baptized as a paladin, the Holy Light hesitated slightly, which made him start to doubt the Holy Light.

The other is that he secretly rode Invincible (the same horse he watched when he was young) out and killed Invincible, but he lied and said it was an accident and avoided his mistake.

The third thing is that after he and Gianna fell in love, when they took Gianna's blood, Gianna talked about the future, children or something, Arthas hesitated, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear this responsibility, and the two broke up. The conclusion is that Alsace is a person who lacks frustration education, wants to succeed but is not confident.

It can only be said that Arthas has actually been pampered since he was a child, and the first half of his life was too perfect, love, career, friendship, and family, compared to Varian, who was as old as him, he suffered the fall of Stormwind City at a young age and took on the burden of the country early. Arthas's heart was too fragile to be pulled out for a long time because of the invincible death, and it was not until the natural disaster came that he realized that not everything was under his control.

And then there's the Lich King's ordination.

Neozu was the Lich King at the time, and he chose Arthas to take Frost Sorrow as his spokesperson, one because he felt that Arthas had shortcomings to lure the Fallen, and the other because he was interested in his status as Prince of Lordaeron, and if he fell, he could quickly dismantle Lordaeron's defenses from within. As for Alsace, the strength is not as important as the status. Things are also as Neozu calculated, Arthas to track down the plague, will definitely find Kel'thugad, and then face the dilemma of Stratholme, in which the slaughter is the easiest and most efficient way, but certainly not the most correct solution.

The prince's determination to defend his people, and his vengeful character, inevitably led him to Northrend. It doesn't make a difference when you get to Josend, you fall by drawing your sword, and if you don't draw your sword, you are killed and transformed into a death knight.

In fact, Arthas is still just a Death Knight, a subordinate of the Lich King. When the Throne was frozen, Illidan's attack caused a crack in the Ice Throne, and the Lich King's power continued to be lost, and he had to find someone to combine in order to survive. Looking at his men, the strong flesh of Arthas was the best choice. If Arthas still fell on his own before becoming a Death Knight, then his mind is no longer controlled after becoming a Death Knight.

Arthas, if he hadn't been favored by Neozu, would have become a near-perfect king of Lordaeron, a beautiful wife, a good king who loved his country, and a good king who cared for his people. But anything that goes to the extreme will become another situation where the extreme must be reversed, and Arthas's super sense of responsibility, competitiveness, and self-esteem are also the key to being favored and used by Neozu.

If Arthas didn't have too much responsibility to the people of Lordaeron, he could have spread his hands while in Stratholme, hand over the most crucial decision of how to deal with Stratholm to Uther, and return to Lordaeron with Gianna as his prince. However, Arthas decisively chose to purify Stratholme directly, stopping the further spread of the plague of the undead in the most effective and controversial way. If he hadn't degenerated into a Death Knight, he would have been a glorified leader in the Alsace world.

The Stantolme incident made Arthas realize that "the Light could not save Lordaeron", so with a sense of responsibility and competitiveness, he went to find the power to stop the spread of the plague and defeat Malganis. This search led to the discovery of Frost Sorrow, the rune sword that twisted Arthas's mind and turned a prince, the future king of Lordaeron and Gianna's husband, into the Lich King's thugs, the Death Knight.

If Arthas's path to the Death Knight is a tragedy, it is better to achieve what he wants.

One prince will eventually become a king, whether it is King Lordaeron or the Lich King, they are all kings who sit on the throne. Commanding the Scourge Legion, an army of iron cavalry that is not afraid of life and death and completely obeys his orders, the army of the undead has a unified pace, does not think or doubt, and truly points where to fight. In Arthas's eyes, this is a perfect kingdom, a world where Azeroth will no longer have faction wars, not tragedy.

It's not just natural disasters that tempt Arthas, but he blames himself for being too fragile, and his last words before he died: There is only darkness in front of my eyes. His inner defense line had already cracked after Invincible's death. Arthas's life is divided into three phases by the Frostmourn and the Helm of Domination, he was the Prince of Lordaeron before he got the Frostmourn, he was a Death Knight before he got the Frost Sorrow, and after he got the Helm of Domination, he became the Lich King.

In addition, as an aside, when it comes to Arthas's character flaws, one question that cannot be avoided is whether his master is qualified or not.

Uther is an upright and noble paladin, there is nothing to say about his character, and he will definitely do his best to educate the crown prince, but during World War II, Lothar commented that Uther was too upright and not as suitable for war as Tulayan. Uther was a good teacher, but he failed to teach Alsace according to his aptitude. However, there is no need to blame Uther, because Muradin taught Alsace the cruelty of battle. Arthas and Muradin learned the nirvana of their lifetime, the Rabbit Kick Eagle, and played a key role in both Uther and Illidan. Therefore, in the final analysis, it can only be said that as a prince of a big country, it is difficult to face the lack of frustration education in peacetime. Look at the prince Anduin, who is also blonde and believes in holy light, he has experienced internal and external troubles as a child, and he is already about to become a new generation of god stick or king.

Arthas himself didn't want to be the Lich King, so at the end of the ICC, Arthas lay in the arms of the old King Terenus and asked, "Father, is it all over?" but how did Arthas become the Lich King? "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves and worrying" - as the saying goes, the Demon King of Fear can rebel against the bird even if he is a Titan of Sargeras, and a small mortal is not easy to rebel?

Throughout the plot, Arthas's goal is to find the source of the plague. The main purpose of the massacre of Alsace was not to stop the spread of the plague, but to find its source. The purpose of Alsace to Northrend was also to find the source of the plague. He believed that Marganis was the source of the plague. The Dreadlord Naozu and others lured Arthas all the way to Northrend by spreading the plague. Finally picked up the Frost Sorrow and was controlled by the spirit of Naozu......

In fact, Alsace's biggest mistake was not to slaughter Stansom. Rather, it is the belief that it is possible to dominate the life and death of others for the sake of the so-called overall good. This is the one thing that Western values disagree with the most.

When the character of Alsace was first a male god, there were many extreme things in his personality. Perfectionism, conceit, high sense of responsibility, sense of honor. As the richest and handsome man in Warcraft, his pursuit in his heart is extremely high, and most of the reluctance in real life makes him feel a kind of emptiness, what should he pursue to be in line with his own position?

From the beginning to the end, Alsace always believed that only rapid growth, only to gain great power as soon as possible, and only to constantly kill evil enemies ruthlessly and ruthlessly, is what the country and the people expect from him. An extreme sense of justice is itself a form of paranoia. As the saying goes, where there is a father, there must be a son, and although it may not be accurate in real life, at least in the works of art, Alsace is in line with the character inheritance of Telenus.

In the opening film, his father shows a kind of obsession with power, distrust of outsiders, and blind confidence in tradition and his own empire, all of which stem from paranoia. And Alsace's bigotry is all about justice, salvation, responsibility, and later atonement. The fate of Alsace tells us, he wants to show that right and wrong are not the key, but paranoia itself. The portrayal of this character also has some criticism and skepticism about the series of ideas of the Western medieval knight's creed, so among all the characters of Warcraft, this character is particularly outstanding.

The success of "Warcraft 2" is not only due to the successful selection of characters, on the other hand, the special effects, rhythm, and dialogue of the movie are all very important.

Needless to say, in terms of plot dialogue, in the early days of the filming, the crew found more than a dozen screenwriters, and they were the kind of screenwriters who were particularly good at dialogue.

And Xiao Lizi's acting skills are also a big explosion, two in a row, portraying the hearts of Alsace's characters into three points.

From pride and conceit, to pain and despair, to the final descent into darkness, it perfectly illustrates the inner change of Alsace.

Speaking of which, Xiao Lizi was also a poor person in his previous life.

In his previous life, for more than 20 years, Xiao Lizi was shortlisted for the Oscars many times, but he had no choice but to play soy sauce every year and missed the little golden man. It wasn't until the 88th Academy Awards that Leonardo successfully won the Oscar for his outstanding performance in "The Revenant", and finally got his wish. Xiao Li's 10,000-year-old stalk has finally passed.

He kept the momentum going, and he managed to bring the character to life emotionally and psychologically, no matter how ugly, childish or puzzling.

Through his face, his eyes, he occupies the whole screen, like a silent film actor, he knows how to use them, he knows how to use his body, he has a natural sense of performance.

He is a very private person. He is also a responsible person who values his status as a citizen of the planet as he does his performances. He will work hard and carefully to use his popularity to arouse people, especially the younger generation. At the same time, he is a passionate student. He doesn't stop learning and researching.

He is able to analyze his role very well. In between shoots, he looks at the monitor and researches himself to do better, and he's also an artist who can dig into the deepest aspects of a character.

In short, he is definitely a good actor, in his previous life, he was too handsome, so he kept missing the little golden man. In fact, the Oscar is a very stubborn award, it is not easy for young people to win the award, those stubborn judges are always more inclined to those older and more experienced old actors, even if there are good enough people among the young people, it is difficult for them to focus on young people.

In fact, even this time, Zhou Fangyuan is ready to cooperate with Harvey, and he doesn't think that Xiao Lizi will be able to win the little golden man, in fact, if all the trilogies are released, and Xiao Lizi can play at a super level in the final climax scene, it is estimated that there is still a little possibility to touch the little golden man, this time, there is still no hope. It's just that although the actor is hopeless, it's good to be nominated. In the film revenue, the movie box office is only a part, generally speaking, a successful high-box office movie, the producer can get one-third of the good, many times even one-third of the income can not be obtained, the bulk is actually more in the periphery and DVD, after 10 years in China, DVD sales are not very good, more people are more accustomed to watching movies online.

But in the United States, DVD has always been a major sales item, and the movie DVD is even more so, once the movie is nominated, it can greatly promote the sales of DVD, which is the source of income that Zhou Fangyuan attaches great importance to, and there are peripheral models, the Death Knight is really handsome, and now all kinds of peripheral models have been produced and put on sale, which has caused a round of frenzy in the United States, but this is not enough, their goal is still next year's Oscar, and if they get the nomination, they will be able to make crazy money all over the world, and the income at that time may even reach several times that of now。
