About the ring

The Lord of the Rings used to be a very difficult movie to shoot, because if it was filmed completely according to the novel, it was estimated that the movie would be scolded as worthless as soon as it was released, and no one would go to see a movie like the novel, because the movie had to keep a reasonable rhythm in just a few hours, so as to attract the audience, while the novel was not. The film screening time of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy will not exceed 15 hours even if calculated according to the length of the extended version, and if you read a book, you probably won't finish the first part of the trilogy. So, how can we make a successful film? It depends on the understanding of the original and the level of adaptation.

Peter Jackson is a success. He and his partners almost perfectly adapted such an epic masterpiece into the same classic epic film, but they also inevitably adapted the original work to a great extent, removed some branch plots in the novel and changed the order of some original works to ensure the appreciation of the film. This is the case with the trilogy. I won't elaborate on the changes in small details here. So, what are the major changes in the trilogy film compared with the original?

Lord of the Rings: This is the first novel of the original book. From the beginning, Peter Jackson made great adjustments to the original work. At the beginning of the film, the grand11birthday party in old bilbo baggins was shown in a cheerful atmosphere. Then soon, Gandalf watched Frodo and Sam embark on the road of escorting the Lord of the Rings. They met Merry and Pippin on the road, and the combination of four hobbits began to take shape. It's not like this in the novel. Don't think that Frodo is as young as we saw in the movie. In fact, when Bilbo 1 1 1 was born, Frodo was thirty-three, and the time for his real journey was after his 50th birthday, that is, seventeen years later. Merry and Pippin's joining is not as accidental as in the movie. They have always been Frodo's most loyal friends. They joined the project from the beginning and helped Frodo finish it. I'm afraid the reason why the film is changed like this is to ensure the rhythm of the film. If you tell the trivial things that happened in the past 17 years like the original, I'm afraid no one can stand it, and the audience may not be interested in a 50-year-old Hobbit.

If the above changes are naturally accepted by the audience, then another change in the film is often complained: Frodo and his companions encountered many dangers when passing through the wicker river and the ancient tomb mountain in the novel, but fortunately, they were able to continue their adventures with the help of Tom Bambadier and his wife Kim Berry. Bombardier's ability is extraordinary, his personality is humorous and very interesting, and he is loved by many readers. However, after careful consideration, Peter Jackson deleted this part as a whole, because it was a complete sub-plot, and Bombardier never appeared in the original after that. In order to ensure the main line of the film, he had to give up what he wanted.

Do you remember the scene where Princess Alvin took Frodo to rivendell for help after he was poisoned in Fengyundong? In fact, although an elf did accomplish this task, it was not Alvin, but Gro Fendall. In fact, Princess Alvin rarely appears in the original works, and she is simply an insignificant role. Without Peter Jackson's adaptation, the beautiful fairy company on the screen would not appear before our eyes.

In the movie, Aragon and Boromir talked in a place where the shards of rapier were stored, but in fact, in the novel, Aragon always carried the broken arrow with him. Some friends say this adaptation is unreasonable, but I think it is reasonable. The purpose is to highlight Aragon's identity through dialogue. You know, I haven't had time to tell you about Aragon's identity in the movie.

In the movie, Pippin throws a stone at the door of the Kingdom of Moria to wake up the octopus monster? No, he didn't do that in the novel. The man who threw this stone was Boromir; But in the room where history was written, Li Piping knocked the bucket into the well and woke up the enemy, which was even more fake. Peter Jackson made Pippin into a funny character, which enlivened the atmosphere of the film, and Pippin had to suffer some losses.

Lord of the Rings: Usually, the second part of the trilogy always serves as a link between the past and the future, so there is always a lack of excitement. Because at the end of the first film, Frodo and his companions were washed away by the orcs and divided into three groups to continue their journey, so the story has three main lines and must be changed more.

The novel "Two Towers" begins with Aragon's battle with other orcs, but in order to ensure the wonderful first part of the film, this part of the story was put at the end of The Messenger of the Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson.

In the movie, Merry and Pippin were chased into the French forest and saved by Shuhu, but in fact Shuhu only met them in the novel and didn't save them. I doubt that with Shu Ren's slow temper, he will be so decisive when saving people. Maybe he will have a meeting to decide. Peter Jackson's adaptation is obviously to increase the drama of the film. Then, Tolkien gave a very long description of Shuren, which was as long as two chapters in the novel, but obviously, Peter Jackson thought it was too long to put all these things in, so he only used a few pictures to explain it. The impatient tree man in the book is Wind as Fast, but I don't know which one in the movie.

In the novel, omer's appearance on Lohan is quite dramatic. At the most tense time of the Grey Helmets War, he and Gandalf joined the battle group with a group of men to ensure the victory of the war. But this is not the case in the novel. Omer took people back to King Théoden long ago and fought them in Helmet Valley.

There is a scene in the movie: Théoden orders all residents to retreat from Helmet Valley bunker. This scene always reminds me of the Three Kingdoms. But in fact, Tolkien's original intention was that Théoden took the knights to Helmet Valley to fight the enemy, not the old, the weak and the sick. At this time, Princess Won led the people of Lohan to stay in the king's capital. Of course, the scene of fighting the enemy on the plain is not in the original work. Peter Jackson's adaptation highlights the tension of the war situation, and another point is to hold the love line between Eowyn and Aragon.

You must be very excited to see the reinforcements of the rivendell elves in the movie, right? This is the luck of Helmet Valley, but the warriors in Helmet Valley in the novel are much more unfortunate: no one came to reinforce them. Peter Jackson involved soldiers in the war in order to highlight the atmosphere of the war.

In the novel A Tale of Two Cities, there is a story that describes Saruman's encounter with people trapped in the tower, but it is not explained in the movie version, only in the extended version, he and Qiao Yan are given a shot to see the tower.

The Lord of the Rings's Episode: As the finale of the whole series, this film also won the honor that should belong to the whole The Lord of the Rings crew. As the end of the whole The Lord of the Rings, this film will definitely give the fans who have been expecting a satisfactory explanation: after the release of The towers, many viewers complained that there was a very important scene missing in the film: Frodo and Sam met Okumo. Later, the official released news that this part of the play was not cut, but was arranged in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The reason is that a movie can't have two climaxes. A big battle in Helmet Valley stirred people's nerves, and the hearts of the audience never let go. If Frodo and Sam fight spiders again, the effect of the film will be diluted.

In the third part of the original work, when Gandalf and Pippin were in Minas Tirith, Aragon and King Théoden were returning to Lohan from Eisenhard. There is a scene here that is not reflected in the third film. On the way, Aragon met a group of mysterious knights who came from the north and belonged to Aragon. At the same time, they also brought gifts from Princess alvin toffler to Aragon and his two sons, Elon. At this time, Aragon looked at the spar brought from Saruman at night, and talked with Sauron by his own will, showing the power of human beings to deter the Dark Lord. At the same time, he also decided to take the road of the dead and seek to join the army since ancient times. The plot of this film has changed a lot. King Elon personally went out to meet Aragon and presented the reconstructed sword of Ren Huang (in fact, the sword was restored in the first novel) and alvin toffler's words.

Defending the Palano Plain is a grand scene in both novels and movies. But after watching the movie, I always feel that most of the descriptions in the novel are sentient beings, and there are very few details. In the movie, the vision of Legolas the elf fully shows everyone's performance in the war. Moreover, the film is different from the novel in the details of the battle between Ai Owen and Lin Lin Wang.

Another difference is the undead forces. What impressed me most when watching the trailer was that Aragon was holding a thin sword and leading a group of seemingly absent undead troops to kill the enemy. In fact, these undead troops in the novel did not participate in defending the Palano Plain, but only helped Aragon capture many warships and gave the orc troops a surprise attack.

Little gabbett people set foot on the journey home, but unlike the movie, they went to visit Eisenhardt's grandfather Shu Hu in the novel. Now Eisenhardt has become a big garden. Then they went to Lohan and witnessed the beautiful marriage between faramir and Owen. On the way out of Lohan, they met Saruman and Yingci. A year after leaving the shire, they returned to the prancing horse hotel, which also means that they are getting closer and closer to their hometown. But when I got home, I found that the local area was occupied by a mob. The four little gabbett people organized the local people to resist together, and finally they found out that Saruman was behind it. But Frodo kindly released Saruman, but he stabbed Frodo with a knife, but it was useless. Unexpectedly, Saruman finally died in the hands of rhetoric.

In the original book, it is written that Sam sent Frodo to the western world. When he came home, he said, I'm back. It's over. But the film took almost 20 minutes to explain the final result of everyone in it. Sam became the mayor of the shire, Merry, Pippin and Aragon were buried together, and Li Jing and Legolas also went to the western world together. Let this trilogy have a happy ending.

Father of the Lord of the Rings: J.R.R. Tolkien

With the release of the final trilogy, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings swept the world again, and he successfully shared his Christian beliefs with modern readers who don't believe or understand God in the form of literature. He reconstructed the Christian worldview in the story in an extremely ingenious and seamless way, created a pair of hands of God, and firmly supported everything behind human history and nature.

J R R Tolkien (1892.1.3-1973.9.2) was born in bloemfontein. When he was 4 years old, his family moved back to England because of his father's death, so he spent almost his whole childhood in England. From primary school to middle school, 19 15 graduated from Oxford University at the age of 23. Tolkien later taught at Oxford University, but in 19 15, he did not stay to teach when he graduated, but joined the army to participate in the First World War. When he joined the army, it was the famous Battle of the Somme. Tolkien experienced two world wars in his life, which was unfortunate for him, but fortunately for us, he stayed in the hospital until the end of the war because of trench fever. It was during these days in the hospital that he began his initial writing career.

On the battlefield, Tolkien lost his beloved friend. He asked God with sincere faith, and stared uncompromisingly at the sharpness of the dilemma between ethics and morality in the world of war, as well as the hope and strength of people living in this world where good and evil are indistinguishable. Unfortunately, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the film is unable to return to heaven. When discussing good and evil, it extracts or covers up Tolkien's story roots and Christian worldview. Although this makes the viewpoints involved in the film immediately diversified, it also confuses people's thinking about good and evil and moral standards. Tolkien expounded the truth and truth of the real world in his Overhead World, hoping that the elves, hobbits and human beings in his works could get out of many difficulties.

Tolkien's mythological world of Middle-earth is based on Christian belief and Nordic mythology, and then based on English classical literature and linguistics. This Middle-earth, where he died from 19 17 to 1973, repeatedly discussed the death that was avoided or even taboo in our time and the relationship between human beings and God.

Later, he became a linguist. He was the editorial board of the New English Dictionary (19 18- 1920 edition), which shows his profound academic attainments. But he is more famous for his study of Anglo-Saxon language family, which makes him widely exposed to myths and legends circulating in Britain and northern Europe. In fact, this is also his hobby since childhood. This love for language and myths and legends undoubtedly had a great influence on his later writing of The Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy has sold more than 50 million copies and has been selected as "the best novel of the 20th century" for many times.
