Chapter 399 He is a hero
After seeing The Fellowship of the Ring, Michael Bay realized that his use of a love triangle to increase the appeal of the film was simply a trick. There could be more ways, but he chose the most boring one. kind of!
Michael Bay plans to watch The Fellowship of the Ring a few more times. As a typical commercial film director, he can feel that the film may sell well. Perhaps some of the techniques used by Duke Rosenberg in this film can Use it for reference in his future productions.
At this moment, Michael Bay was thinking only about the movie and completely forgot about the rest.
This also confirms from the side that a successful director must be a person who is focused and willing to learn and work hard.
A low female voice sings in the golden forest all the time. As soon as Queen Galadriel appeared, she captured the audience's attention. When an actor appears on the big screen, it is often two completely different feelings than usual. , Cate? Blanchett excellent interpretation of a benevolent, empathetic, and some arrogant willful elf queen at the same time.
The actors selected by the director are very suitable. Pitt had long forgotten the purpose of watching this movie, and his emotions were completely immersed in the movie. Everyone in the movie seems to be a real person in Middle-earth.
Brad Miller stared intently at the big screen, but nodded slightly.
The film has made him unable to take his eyes off!
When faced with the Lord of the Rings, Queen Galadriel resisted the temptation of it and power, and presented a series of gifts to the Fellowship of the Ring expedition, which strengthened the team's combat readiness. The expedition did not make too many stops in the Golden Forest. , continue to move forward through the waterway.
Just as the camera focuses on Gandalf before entering the Moria Mine, the camera begins to focus on Boromir. Those viewers who haven't read the original work and have some understanding of the language of the camera can easily guess that this warrior from Gondor will have a hard time reaching the end of his journey.
What's more, on the snow-capped mountains and the golden forest in front of them, the Lord of the Rings' temptation to Boromir was also prepared.
compared to the original. Legolas just increased his role. In Brad Miller's view, Boromir's change seems to be a bit big. From the previous lines and shots, it is not difficult to see that he is bent on defending Gondor and fighting against demons. Abstain from generating thoughts, not just because of temptation. I also want to use its power to protect my country.
As if Boromir was on his way to a tragic hero.
However, Brad Miller didn't have time to think about it. The other scene was just a simple scene, which was so shocking that he couldn't continue to think!
This is the Gate of Argonas, the great statues of Isildur and Anarion so majestic. When Aragorn and the others passed by by boat, they seemed so insignificant.
Just like the wooden sailboat when the Titanic was launched, the method of comparison is used here, and the model used for shooting is not too large. But with the live-action pictures added by CG as a comparison, the Gate of Argonas is extremely magnificent!
The camera zooms in closer to the statue. The nicks and weathering marks on it are very obvious, and the special effects have been made to the level of excellence. This is definitely the top film special effects finished product today!
This magnificent scene flashed, and Brad Miller unconsciously clapped his palm. Pete and Shearer next to them also clapped their palms, and then more people began to applaud, and the applause sounded like thunder.
At this moment, Brad Miller was never so excited. After reading the literary masterpiece, all people will have associations and fantasies in their minds. In his dreams, he has entered the Middle-earth world countless times to experience Tolkien's fantasy style shows all his imagination.
However, just today, all the associations have become reality, and the reality is even more magnificent than the fantasy that he has reached the limit of his thinking!
This is the Middle-earth world he can't even think of!
Dreams have become reality!
Go to his original book can not be adapted into a movie! Going to his director will ruin the epic masterpiece! Go to his explosive maniac and make a bad magic epic!
At the moment of emotional excitement, Brad Miller finally admitted that the film is far more exciting than the novel!
Go to his X's protest!
He just wants to enjoy this movie, this epic epic that is a hundred times better than he ever imagined it to be!
I won't protest again! I won't protest again!
Pete next to him seemed to be saying to himself, and also to Miller, I won't protest a movie like this if you kill me!
Blake Miller nodded in agreement, I will not only be a fan of books in the future, but also a fan of The Lord of the Rings!
Before the final climax, the film conquered two protesters. In the eyes of Norman Shearer, this is a normal thing. From the time he liked Duke's movies to now, he has seen them in theaters. Countless people have been fascinated by his works.
That's the beauty of Duke, isn't it?
Shearer turned his head and looked at the two people next to him, then refocused his energy and stared at the big screen, the film has come to the final climax stage!
The Fellowship of the Ring expedition turned into the forest on the shore, and the biggest internal worry broke out. Boromir took advantage of the opportunity of Frodo's loneliness to snatch the Lord of the Rings, but Frodo escaped. Aragorn, who came out to find him, faced the temptation of the Lord of the Rings, Aragorn did not make the mistake of his ancestors, and decided to let Frodo, who had decided to go alone, leave.
The strong orc chasers from Isengard caught up with the expedition, and the final battle kicked off.
Like all the previous fights, it is a typical European medieval style, but the fighting styles of Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are completely different, especially the latter, which is the focus of the capture of the camera, and there are quite a lot of close-ups.
Legolas is elegant and agile, and every time he bends a bow and shoots an arrow, it always arouses the exclamation of the female audience.
He's really handsome! Ivanka said suddenly in Duke's ear.
Duke shrugged, I remember when I was in New Zealand, Orlando seemed to invite you to dinner.
But I rejected it! Ivanka said decisively, I don't like this kind of flowery man.
In order to cover Frodo, Merry and Pippin were surrounded by strong orcs. At the time of crisis, Boromir rushed out from the flank and saved the two hobbits, but fell into a hard battle with fewer enemies and more enemies, and could only play silver. Horn for help.
The three of Aragorn have not yet been killed, and the other has arrived!
That's a strong orc who kisses Aragorn!
Norman Shearer recognized it immediately, but the strong orcs on the screen were not at all as funny and cute as the posters and videos, but instead were hideous, murderous, and carrying a strong bow in his hand!
This is a deadly bow!
At this point in the film, the audience is very clear that Boromir's life is about to come to an end, and their feelings about this character are extremely complicated. Whether he killed himself or was heroic, it is difficult to tell for a while.
The strong orc drew his bow, and the arrow shot down like a shooting star, hitting Boromir's chest.
However, Boromir fought desperately to protect the safety of the two hobbits behind him, even when he was shot in the key.
The second arrow escaped from the bowstring, and Boromir's strong body was shot again, but he did not give up, and continued to slash the strong orcs with his sword. Although his strength had been lost and his life was about to die, he was still fulfilling the requirements of the meeting of King Elrond. Oath to protect every member of the Fellowship of the Ring with the sword of Gondor!
At the same time, he is defending his honor with the sword!
In the high-speed slow-motion, another arrow hit Boromir. With tears in their eyes, Merry and Pippin tried to rush to the front to protect him, but were captured by the strong orcs. Three long arrows hit the key point, even the Dengdan people Unable to bear it either, Boromir sat on the ground on his knees, having lost all his strength, and could only wait for the execution of the leader of the strong orcs.
He's a hero!
Shearer couldn't help saying, He's not a coward, he's not a traitor, he's a hero!
Yes! That's it!
Although deeply influenced by Tolkien's views in the original book, the sensationalism of the film is straight to the heart. Brad Miller also agrees with Shearer's words, Boromir is a hero!
The horn to welcome the return of the king did not sound, the flying flag had not been planted in the White City, the withered holy white tree had not bloomed, the silver horn had already been cut in half, and the second member of the Fellowship of the Ring expedition had come to the end of his life.
But the hero should not die so suffocatingly. Although he was recognized by the audience, he was not recognized by the film!
Aragon arrived at a critical moment, and with his superb swordsmanship, beheaded the leader of the strong orcs.
The most sensational scene of the first episode has arrived. The passing of Boromir's life has aroused the determination of the king to return!
I don't know how much energy I have, but I swear to you that I will never let the White City fall, nor let our people perish!
This is the king's oath!
Everyone's transformation requires a process. Aragorn's journey from escaping his fate to establishing his return to Gondor is especially necessary. Arwen's advice and Galadriel's insight are far less than Boromir's. Death is more impactful and persuasive.
The death of a hero evokes the determination and fighting spirit of another hero to return, and Aragorn no longer escapes his destiny.
I will follow you, my brother, my leader, my king...
Boromir's deathbed oath is undoubtedly a sensational weapon, and the film also uses Aragorn's mouth to affirm him, Rest in peace, son of Gondor.
In Brad Miller's eyes, two lines of tears slowly flowed down. Perhaps only die-hard Lord of the Rings fans can understand his mood at the moment. Although Boromir is the character who changed the most in the whole film, not only did he not protest The idea of instead of thinking that this makes the whole Lord of the Rings story more attractive!
He really approves of Boromir's changes, which are definitely the finishing touch of the first episode!
At the end of the film, the Fellowship of the Ring encountered a major setback. Gandalf and Boromir were killed one after another, Sam and Frodo left alone, and Merry and Pippin were captured by the strong orcs to Isengard.
The Fellowship of the Ring has come to an end, and the journey to Middle-earth has just begun. Aragorn put on Boromir's Gondor Bracers, and set off with Gimli and Legolas to hunt down the strong orcs and save them. Merry and Pippin's journey. (To be continued ^)
