The Lord of the Rings~~~~

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (referred to as "The Hobbit") directed by Peter Jackson has finally landed in the mainland market. It has been nearly ten years since an episode of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", and it is a prequel to "The Lord of the Rings", but the familiar "Gandalf the Grey", "The Hobbit" Bilbo Baggins, and the Elf Queen Gai Radel, Gollum, etc. have all returned, and even Frodo and Sauron have appeared, taking the audience back to the Middle-earth world written by Tolkien...

Bilbo Baggins

p>

In "The Lord of the Rings: The Rise of the Ring" directed by Peter Jackson that year, the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins was mainly an introduction character. He gave the Lord of the Rings to Frodo and then Only then did Frodo's adventures in Middle-Earth come about, which also brought out his own adventures sixty years ago when he wrote.

The film "The Hobbit" "justifies" Bilbo Baggins - although the end of his journey is not the Middle-earth world where Sauron gradually regains his powers, but the underground world occupied by the dragon. The kingdom is obviously full of mystery and danger, not to mention the orcs who are following along the journey (their target is the dwarf king Thorin Oakenshield who wants to "go home", and the dwarf king's " "Go Home" is similar to the return of the king in "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King")... If the "Lord of the Rings" series is about how Frodo, the dwarf of the Shire, grew from an ordinary man to a hero, then, "The Hobbit" is about Bilbo Baggins's process of overcoming his inner difficulties and growing up.

Frodo

Although Frodo was not yet born when Bilbo Baggins embarked on the "unexpected journey" of the expedition, the art of film can be flexible after all. Peter Jackson adopted the method of flashback. Not long after the opening of "The Hobbit" is the scene of Bilbo Baggins telling his grandson Frodo about the adventures of the expedition "many years later". This not only avoids a straightforward narrative. The blandness also closely combines "The Hobbit" with the "Lord of the Rings" series.

Gandalf

In traditional mythology, almost every hero has a mentor to guide him. In "The Lord of the Rings", which is deeply influenced by classical mythology, Tolkien set up the character relationships strictly according to the mythological model. "Gandalf the Gray" was Frodo's guide and mentor in his growth, and he was full of humor.

Similarly, Bilbo Baggins' mentor in "The Hobbit" was also Gandalf the Gray - it was he who found the 10th member of the expeditionary force for Thorin Oakenshield. Among the three teammates, he also believed that the humble Hobbit could play an extraordinary role in extraordinary moments, and he also believed in Bilbo Baggins...

King Elrond

< p>King Elrond, played by Hugo Weaving, had already witnessed the two wars between Middle-earth and Sauron in ancient times in the "Lord of the Rings" series. His treatment of his beloved daughter and his self-exile King Aragorn's attitude also promotes the development of the plot (for example, when Aragorn went to the Valley of the Dead to seek his old friend's promise to fulfill, he benefited from King Elrond's help and prompts). In "The Hobbit", he also has several scenes, including the conflict between him and Thorin Oakenshield, and the action scenes in which he leads troops to fight against the orcs. The former echoes the scenes in the "Lord of the Rings" series. The dwarves and elves mentioned by their lover Jin Ling have always been at odds with each other. The latter echoes the story in "Lord of the Rings" in which the elves and the civilians of Middle-earth team up to fight against the orcs.

The Elf Queen

The Elf Queen Galadriel, played by Cate Blanchett, is the most noble queen in the "Lord of the Rings" series. She has seen two The light of the holy tree possesses the immortality of elves, and always maintains wisdom and beauty. Her personality is strong and wise, mixed with a little bit of sadness for the passing of the elven era... Although she appeared in Tolkien's original novel "The Hobbit" "People" was not mentioned, but how could this noble queen be absent from Peter Jackson's movie version?

Saruman

What also does not appear in the original novel (Peter Jackson's film version is mainly adapted from the first few chapters of Tolkien's novel) is the "White Robe Wizard" "Saruman, but was also arranged in "The Hobbit" - he participated in the discussion of the restoration journey of Gandalf the Gray, King Elrond, the Elf Queen and others. Of course, at this time, Saruman the White and Gandalf the Gray were friends for many years.

Orcs

Half-orcs, who became Sauron's right-hand men in "The Lord of the Rings", have actually been downplayed with the emergence of strong orcs, but in "The Lord of the Rings" In "The Hobbit", the Orcs are the biggest enemies of the expedition team - they track the expedition team all the way and want to take the life of Thorin Oakenshield, because there was a big melee between the dwarves and the Orcs. , the injured Thorin Oakenshield borrowed the oak shield next to him and almost took the life of the opponent's leader (hence the name Thorin Oakenshield), which forged a deep hatred.

Gollum

Gollum is a very complex character in both the novel version and the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings". He was originally a hobbit ("The Lord of the Rings: "The Two Towers"), but because he killed his friend for the Lord of the Rings, he left his hometown and his mind was gradually swallowed by the Lord of the Rings, and gradually turned into a deformed "Gulu" - thanks to the motion capture technology, Andy Serkis, especially in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, made Gollum's complexity both sympathetic and repulsive. In the second half of the movie "The Hobbit", Bilbo Baggins got lost in the cave to avoid the pursuit of the orcs, and met Gollum.

Sauron

In Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", there is a more detailed description of how Sauron used his own power to refine the Lord of the Rings with the intention of dominating the world. In the process, in the film "Lord of the Rings" series, the final opponent of the Fellowship of the Ring is Sauron, whose power is slowly recovering. Although the ultimate opponent of "The Hobbit" is the dragon, the Elf Queen, Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White and King Elrond mentioned Thor when they discussed driving orcs to appear on the borders of the Elf Kingdom. Sauron, and the camera also took Sauron's "apartment".

Bagg End

Bagg End is the home of the Shire. Peter Jackson introduced it in detail in the opening hour of "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" It depicts the Bag End where Bilbo Baggins and Frodo lived. Its tranquility, tranquility, and beauty also formed a sharp contrast with the subsequent adventures in Middle-earth; and "The Hobbit" is also obvious in structure. Drawing on "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", the opening hour also introduces Bilbo Baggins' Bag End in detail, and brings out the different personalities and experiences of the different members of the expedition team, which is similar to "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings". "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" echoes from a distance.

Rivendell

As the "poetic habitat" of the Elf Kingdom, Rivendell has been presented as real and illusory in the "Lord of the Rings" series, which also made the Elf Era The sadness of slowly turning into the past is so clear, but Rivendell in "The Hobbit" is undoubtedly still a poetic paradise, especially the 48-frame display adds a bit of reality.

At the same time, Rivendell also plays a turning role in the plot-in "The Lord of the Rings: The Rise of the Ring", it confirmed the formation of the Fellowship of the Ring, and "The Hobbit" "In "", although there is a gap between the dwarves and the elves because of the elves' indifference and the massacre of the dwarves by the orcs, they also serve as a link between the past and the future.

Dwarf Kingdom

I remember that in "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings", the Fellowship of the Ring was pursued by orcs shortly after they embarked on the journey. They entered the underground world, and the dwarf Jin Ling also expressed the emotion of coming to the kingdom of his relatives, and they not only had to face the orcs, but also the flame dragon from the underground world...

The Hobbit takes the dwarf kingdom as the most important scene - because of the greed of the dwarves, they gradually dug underground. As a result, the dragon appeared and occupied the underground kingdom, and the dwarves had to embark on the journey of leaving their homeland. They live a life of wind and rain, and the purpose of the expedition led by Thorin Oakenshield is to return to his home, the dwarf kingdom, and find his hometown for the villagers wandering in the cold wind and rain.

The Supreme Lord of the Rings

The Supreme Lord of the Rings, crafted by Sauron, is an important prop in the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings" - all the characters or stories are more or less related. It is related to the appearance of the Lord of the Rings, and also shows everyone's reaction when faced with the temptation of the Supreme Lord of the Rings (even Frodo, who is simple at heart, is almost lost to the Supreme Lord of the Rings as Mount Doom approaches. ).

For "The Hobbit", the prequel story of "The Lord of the Rings", the Lord of the Rings is just a small scenery on the expedition, because neither Gollum nor Bilbo Baggins knew it. He didn't know the mysterious power of a ring, and he didn't know that this ring would cause the Middle-earth world to be almost destroyed by Sauron a few decades later. But there is no doubt that the Lord of the Rings has become a bridge between "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit".
