Movie Appreciation

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (winner of 11 Oscars)

In order to activate the entertainment life atmosphere of the institute, it has been initially decided to arrange classic movie viewing at 6:00 every Saturday night Time, this week's film is set to be "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", but I don't know how many people want to watch it. If too few people watch it, it will be a waste of resources. According to the size of the student body of our institute, it is temporarily determined that there will be no more participants each time. If there are less than 10 people, the original plan will be cancelled. Students who want to watch and are able to watch (including students in 521) please reply. We will use the number of replies as a statistical basis. Only if there are more than 10 people can we proceed as planned.

Video content summary:

With the final battle and the gathering of the Dark Army, Gandalf is eager to reunite Gondor's remaining troops. Gandalf is aided by Theoden, King of Rohan, and with human strength coupled with courage and that kind of passionate loyalty, they face their greatest test ever. But éowyn and Merrt hid in the shadows, unable to compete with Gondor's enemies. Faced with such losses and disadvantages, they continued to charge at the forefront of the battle. Their loyalty and purpose made the Dark Lord Sauron uneasy and distracted. And gave the Keeper of the Ring a chance to fulfill his request. All they have left to hope for is to join Frodo across the realm of cunning enemies to hurl the Ring into the flames of Mount Doom. The closer he gets to his final destination, the heavier Frodo's burden becomes, and he must rely on Sam Gambsey and Gollum. In the process, the Ring will test Frodo's loyalty, nature and humanity itself...

The "light" of the Ring:

1. Genius The first person in film director history

The genius director New Zealand director Peter Jackson: Maybe it’s because he was born on Christmas. Jackson, a genius, has been interested in weird and weird things since he was a child. Before he became famous, he was a business player. He once used a 16MM camera to shoot a science fiction short film about aliens. This is very similar to the DV youth we see everywhere now. But luckier than our DV youth is that this film was later made into a feature film "Space Oddity" with funding from the New Zealand Film Commission, and became a classic of alternative films. After "The Stranger", Jackson launched two more weird works, one is the almost hysterical funny cartoon "Meet Ada", and the other is the classic "Meet Ada", a horror movie full of bloody scenes and cruel black humor. The group of corpses played across the border".

Jackson's love for movies is extraordinary. In addition to his ability to write, direct, and act, he is also proficient in photography, makeup, special effects, costumes, and even the choreographer. As the saying goes, gold will shine sooner or later. Such an all-rounder worked hard to create "Heavenly Creation" in 1994, which made him famous in the international film industry. The film was adapted from a shocking incident of maternal murder of a girl in New Zealand. In this topical film, Jackson boldly used special effects to interpret the fantasy world of the film's protagonist. This shows that the background of the special effects master is not without reason.

After watching the animated version of "The Lord of the Rings" that received rave reviews, the master had a strong impulse to create. He picked up Tolkien's original work and read it carefully 12 times. Such professionalism moved the boss of New Line, and on August 24, 1997, they officially announced a joint venture with Jackson to film the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Jackson thus became the first person in film history to shoot three films at the same time.

2. Women serve as highlights, and the climax is shocking

In view of the lack of portrayal of female images in the previous episode, "The Return of the King" will add female images that are not in the book, and the plot There will also be some changes to add some romantic love scenes. The director has taken drastic measures in handling the plot. For example, the Dark Lord Sauron, who was deliberately written out in the original work, officially appears in the third episode of the movie. Jackson believes that the film cannot hide key points and must allow for a big showdown between justice and evil. In terms of action scenes, "Lord of the Rings 1" is just a small test, and the second episode can be said to be getting better. In "The Return of the King", war scenes will come like a tide, and movie fans will be addicted to it. Jackson said: The third part is the climax of the entire story. It represents what is worth dedicating and what must be given up. The final scene will be the most shocking part of the entire film. We enthusiastically look forward to this fantasy masterpiece having an ending that will satisfy fans.

3. Without the flying wings of a colorful phoenix, the mind has a clear connection

The Lord of the Rings series is so exciting. In addition to the great contribution of the computer special effects department, the role of the screenwriter cannot be ignored. Some viewers may not be aware that director Peter Jackson's beloved wife is among the screenwriters. She is responsible for the emotional part of the script, giving the Lord of the Rings series the "heart" and "soul". There is no doubt that the work of director Beloved Wife is very successful. People like "Lord of the Rings" because it is both an epic masterpiece and it also contains delicate emotional descriptions. The perfect cooperation of the husband and wife team seems to confirm the saying: behind a successful man there is a great woman.
