Chapter 397: Thrillingly Beautiful
Can you make it to the premiere, Bled? Miller had a considerable amount of effort, and it was only natural that the leader of the protests against the adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy into a film could no longer be seen in the crowd of protesters outside the theater.
Hearing his companion's words, he thought for a moment and said, "Pete, have you seen the trailer?" ”
"I've seen it." The man named Pete nodded.
Brad? Miller asked, "What do you think of the trailer?" ”
"Uh......" Pete opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say, and hesitated for a moment before he said, "Bligh, do you want to change your position?" ”
Shaking his head slightly, Brad? Miller said slowly, "These days, I've been thinking about our protest action, if it was just a simple protest, I would carry it out to the end, but the nature of the protest outside has changed. ”
People like him who only protest because of their obsession can't be impressed at all by a little profit.
"I still don't think it's the right choice to make a film adaptation of the original book, but we have to see the film with our own eyes to make our protests more justified......"
"Justified?" Shearer couldn't help but ask rhetorically, "Are you protesting against Hollywood's best directors, and are you still talking about justification?" ”
"Hey, what do you say?" Pete raised his voice slightly.
Brad? Miller hurriedly stopped him, saying, "The Lord of the Rings is recognized as the hardest piece of literature to be adapted into a movie......
"Duke is the best director for the adaptation!" Miller interrupted him, "If there is anyone in this world who can successfully adapt the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is not Duke?" Rosenberg is none other than that! ”
Without waiting for the other party to continue to say anything, the overhead lights began to go out, and Shearer pointed to the big screen, "I'll say more." None of the films are convincing, let's watch the movies, and after watching the movies, maybe your opinion will change. ”
"I also hope that the film will be good enough for me to change my stance!"
Muttered in a low voice, Brad? Miller's eyes turned to the big screen.
The opening credits of Warner Bros. and Duke's studios flashed one after another, and the screen went blue. A low chant sounded, and another female voice speaking a strange language read a monologue in a subdued tone.
"Is this ......" Brad? Miller immediately raised his eyebrows, "This is Quenya!" ”
Tolkien's magnum opus, not only the Quenya language he founded, but also the tone and English contrast, before the film appeared, was given to Brad? A very big surprise from Miller.
Someone actually pronounced Quenya on the big screen!
Pete next to him was also excited. He was also a big fan of the Lord of the Rings.
Shearer turned his head to look at the two people next to him, and snorted softly, what is this Quenya? With Duke's production style, there will inevitably be countless surprises in the future, which is obviously because of the opposition and opposition of the book fans, will they be so excited that they cry when they see their dreams unfolding in front of them?
He's waiting to see this!
"The world has changed, and I perceive it from the flowing water. I perceive it from the soil, I smell it from the air...... The story begins with the casting of the Lord of the Rings......"
In the monologue of Queen Galadriel. The opening scene moves forward unhurriedly, and before the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, there are two shorter chapters, the Elven Diamond and the Hobbit, but the film cannot show them one by one, and can only use the simplest way, through the mouth of Queen Galadriel. Give a brief description of the background of the story.
And it's not just a description, after introducing the origin of the Lord of the Rings, the opening battle kicked off, which is the scene highlighted in the trailer and appears on the big screen at the moment. The momentum is even more amazing, the alliance of elves and humans fights the monsters of Mordor, Islam Dil is killed, and Essidor cuts off Sauron's finger, but his mind is shaken by the temptation of the One Ring, and he misses the best opportunity to destroy evil.
After all, the human mind will be bewitched, and the Lord of the Rings will be sent to the Yellow Springs Road as if it were alive when Essidor is attacked by surprise.
Duke used the most simple and clear way to recount Bilbo's experience of getting the ring, in which the scene of Gollum flashed away, but this monster whose mind and body were poisoned by the ring still caused many people to marvel.
The camera changes, and the narrator is relayed from Queen Galadriel to Bilbo? Baggins, the picturesque Charles, in Howard? The soundtrack of old.friends, composed by Shaw and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, was placed in front of the eyes of all the audience with the clearest panoramic image.
Verdant vegetation, dense shrubs, neat crops, clear rivers, quaint bridges, and the laid-back life of the hobbits......
"It's like paradise!" Shearer exclaimed.
Brad? Miller kept his mouth tightly closed, he didn't know what to say, it could be seen from the beginning, the film's unexpectedly adapted scale was a bit large, and even Bilbo's process of getting the ring was simply skipped, but the opening battle that could shock people's souls had surpassed his imagination of the battle of the final alliance between humans and elves countless times.
When Charles and Hobbiton show up, Brad? Miller had to purse his lips to stop his agitation.
This is the Charles in the book! This is the Charles of his dreams! This is the Charles he had imagined countless times! This is his best and most beautiful Charles!
He couldn't imagine that there was a more beautiful idyllic scenery in this world than the Charles!
"Oh God, it's beautiful!"
As an actual participant in the film, Ivanka didn't expect that the inconspicuous scenes she saw would be so beautiful and moving when they were finally turned into movies!
It's not delicate beauty, it's laid-back beauty!
She turned to Duke and asked, "How did you do that?" ”
Duke smiled back, but didn't say much, and he couldn't explain it clearly to a movie layman.
In the opening paragraph, the rhythm of the movie is inevitably a little slow, but because the opening battle has whetted the appetite of fans, coupled with the beautiful scenery of Shire, it will not make people feel bored at all, looking at the entire screening hall, whether it is guests or ordinary audiences, whether they are book fans or non-book fans, they all watch it with relish.
Especially for book lovers. The main characters such as Gandalf, Frodo, Bilbo, Melly, Pippin, and Sam all appeared one by one, and they all got their approval, and it seems that what Tolkien depicted in the original book should be what it should be on the big screen.
From clothing to language, from scenery to living habits, this qiē is not at all a reality. A corner of Middle-earth is enough to attract attention.
The idyllic life ended with the appearance of the Lord of the Rings, Bilbo left Hobbiton and decided to travel and live with the elves, Frodo, who had inherited all the possessions, became the new owner of the Lord of the Rings.
When Gandalf galloped to Gondor. Minas Stirris appears for the first time!
Although the panoramic lens flashed by, the majestic and magnificent White City still attracted a lot of admiration from the audience.
"The most beautiful imagination can't match the real picture!"
Brad? Miller saw the White City in his dreams, he wanted to hear the silver horn blowing, the banner of the Holy White Tree fluttering above the White City, he wanted to see more......
He gradually realized that maybe the film would not be as bad as he thought.
The narrative pace of the story picks up suddenly, after Gandalf finds a description of the Lord of the Rings in the White City. Hurried back to Hobbiton without stopping, burning with flames. Confirmed that this is the One Ring!
Frodo inevitably took the path of his own fate, but fortunately he was accompanied by a servant named Sam.
Gandalf and Frodo agreed to meet at the Prancing Horse Hotel in the village of Brie, and then traveled to Isengh to ask Saruman, the speaker of the Holy White Council, for help.
However, he got bad news.
"The Nine Great Rings are disguised as black knights and have already passed through the Luohan Pass!"
The door to the Cave of Minas opens. In the black sky and eerie green light, nine black knights without faces leaped forward and slew away from the Charles.
"Oh, God."
The Black Knight rushed at the Charr and cut off a man's head. Ivanka couldn't help but grab Duke's arm, "Dad's character died so miserably......"
The Nine Rings are looking for Frodo, but Gandalf is facing a great challenge!
As an important figure on the side of justice, Saruman, the speaker of the Holy White Council, was one of the main forces against Sauron, but he decided to take refuge in Sauron, and a great war between wizards broke out with Gandalf.
Brad? Miller's eyes widened as he got a gossip that the film would change the place to a game-like magic fireworks show......
However, the scene that appeared here made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he unconsciously recognized the movie even more.
In The Lord of the Rings, the Wizard has great melee abilities, and although it is not described in detail in the book, Brad? According to the setting of these two Maia, it is not difficult for Miller to come to the conclusion that two people with strong melee combat abilities would give up melee combat and use cumbersome spells in such a small space?
If the film does, then both Gandalf and Saruman are idiots.
Fortunately, the film did not disappoint, and Gandalf and Saruman's style of similar melee combat is also very much in line with the wizard's approval.
In the Prancing Horse Hotel, Frodo did not wait for Gandalf, who was imprisoned by Saruman, but met Aragorn, who was asked by Gandalf, and the Emperor of Man appeared!
Then, the night attack of the Ringwraith, Aragorn led the hobbits to Rivendell, and at the top of the storm, Frodo was stabbed by the Witch King of Angmar, and began to walk towards the junction of life and death, the space where the Ringwraith was located, Aragorn dispersed the Ringwraiths with fire, and the Hobbits on their backs hurried to Rivendell, where only the King of Elon could heal him.
"Wow, what a beautiful elf."
In a flash of white light, Arwen officially appeared, there were many close-ups of her, her slender and tall figure and carefully groomed face in the later stage, almost instantly attracted the attention of all men.
She is so beautiful, so dreamy, so elegant......
There shouldn't be such a beautiful woman in the world, she should only belong to the elves of Middle-earth!
See Twilight, to Brad? Miller's age felt a string in his head suddenly tighten, even if it wasn't Arwen who appeared here in the original book, he didn't feel any dissatisfaction in front of such a beautiful elf! (To be continued......)
