Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

the last weekend before christmas

《The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is undoubtedly the most anticipated film of the week.

3945 screens.

This number is also much higher than the second-ranked"Lisa and Her Friends"》

《"Lisa and Friends" is one of Nickelodeon's most successful original cartoons. It premiered in the United States in 1998 and is loved by children aged 2-12.

The movie released at the same time as"Lord of the Rings" is a movie version of the animated film produced by Nickelodeon and its sister company Paramount Pictures.

It took down 3,012 big screens.

(PS: By the way, this cartoon (referring to the TV series) was introduced to China and played on China Television Children’s Channel. I don’t know if anyone has seen it.)

In the theater.

As the lights go down, the movie begins.

If the perspective of"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is more about the running-in and adventure of the"Friends of the Ring", then the second film"The Two Towers" adds the topic of"war and power".

The story shows the conflicts and battles between the various races of Middle-earth and their war for control of the power of the Ring.

Of course, the self-growth and courage of the Fellowship of the Ring are also essential to the theme of the movie.

Especially the heroic appearance of Legolas in battle once again awakened people's admiration for"ultimate beauty"

"oh!"

"ah!"

"Wow!"

Every time Legolas appears, he will be accompanied by such exclamations.

《The visual effects of"Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" also surpass the first one.

The vast and diverse Middle-earth world shown in the film, with its endless forests, huge mountains, magnificent castles and other scenes, are all breathtaking.

The realistic special effects presentation makes the audience feel as if they are on the scene and feel the magnificence and fantasy of Middle-earth.

Peter Jackson definitely knows how to make commercial movies.

In addition, it is a trilogy shot consecutively, so these three movies have a sense of connection.

《"The Fellowship of the Ring" is the first chapter in the series, and its overall tone is firstly positive and then negative.

It can also be seen from the tone of the film that when the happy life of Shire was shown in the early stage, the sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

In the middle stage, when faced with the pursuit of the Nazgul, the tone suddenly becomes gloomy, but sometimes beautiful scenery will appear - such as the magnificent Rivendell.

In the later stages, the continuous pursuit can make the audience breathless.

The tone of the film has also become completely gloomy. All the previous relaxed, happy, heroic and ambitious scenes are to set off the tragic death of Boromir and Gandalf in battle, as well as the desolation and confusion when the Fellowship of the Ring falls apart.

To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of Legolas, the"top green leaf", who lit up people's hearts, the box office would never have been so high based on the depressing atmosphere at the end of the first part of"Lord of the Rings".

This is true both in the original timeline and now.

As the middle part of the trilogy, the second"Two Towers" must serve as a link between the past and the next.

It cannot blindly make the audience feel depressed, because the two consecutive depressing films may cause the audience to feel tired from watching the movie.

It will affect the audience's interest in watching the third part.

And Peter Jackson is very smart. He chose to give the audience hope in the tragedy, thereby generating expectations for the third part.

Therefore, the main tone of the second part is to suppress first and then increase.

The film opens with a scene of Essinger's violent attack. The boundless army can directly arouse people's worries and fears.

Then several plot lines were used to emphasize that the despotic power of Saruman and Mordor shrouded the entire Middle-earth -

Gondor had no time to take care of itself, the king of Rohan, known as the kingdom of hussars, was cursed and turned into a fool, and the prince also died in the battle. On the way to protect the ring, the country is leaderless, treacherous ministers are in power, and the hussars guarding the kingdom are forced to leave. It is really troublesome at home and abroad...

So, can such a country still withstand the invasion from the Twin Towers?

At this time, the characters in the play and the audience are depressed.

To be honest, even Martin felt less beautiful when he saw this.

Leonardo and Toby, two friends of Martin who were invited to attend the premiere, also stared at the screen without blinking, immersed in the plot, looking forward to a miracle.

And a miracle is bound to happen.

In the first part, it was thought that the dead king Gandalf returned, removed the spell on the king of Rohan, and drove out the traitors.

There was a glimmer of hope for victory.

Although Rohan had too much time to take care of himself, the king was frustrated and chose to retreat to Helm's Deep; the tree people were also dilly-dallying, which made people anxious, but at least these were good changes.

Then, the plot turned again, playing with the hearts of the audience. People in the theater were relieved again - Helm's Deep, which is famous for its strong defense, has a huge hidden danger - Bai Bai, who has fallen but still retains wisdom. Saruman had a way to break the city.

Then came the terrifying army of tens of thousands of powerful orcs, and only three hundred people defended Rohan.

Just as the audience held their breath and watched Helm's Deep was about to fall.

Peter Jackson gives people a little more"hope""——The army of the elves came to help, temporarily relieving the pressure on the city's defenders.

However - the numbers of the defenders and the demon army were still unequal, and Helm's Deep fell into a bitter battle again.

What makes the audience even more worried and angry is that the tree people chose to escape, as they always have.

The depressive feeling of the film reaches its extreme at this point - Helm's Deep is about to fall, with no troops inside and no reinforcements outside, but the orc army seems endless and seems to be in a desperate situation.

And then, the film also began to enter the"Yang" stage.

The climax is coming!

First, the two hobbits, Merry and Pippin, worked hard to let"Treebeard" witness Isengard's tyranny and Saruman's corruption, which aroused the anger of the tree people, stormed Isengard, and flooded the wizard's tower.. Mordor's powerful assistant, Isengard, was finally extinguished.

This is a small climax.

Then, the most exciting scene in the second part of"The Lord of the Rings" arrived.

Helm's Deep was about to fall, and the King of Rohan lamented when the castle was almost captured by the orc army:"Why did everything become like this?"

Aragorn made an exciting speech at this time:...Fight for the people We will rush into the enemy lines inspired by the horn until we return to the earth at dawn...

Then, Aragorn and Legolas took the remaining troops and charged into the endless orc army outside the city without hesitation..

This section was shot extremely tragically, giving people a feeling of"the hero never returns", and sobs could be heard in the theater.

Martin's sensitive ears even heard a girl praying:"Legolas, please don't die!"

There were fewer and fewer soldiers fighting out of the city, like the darkness before dawn.

And the dawn will eventually come.

Just when Aragorn and Legolas led the combined army of humans and elves to be surrounded by a large army of orcs.

The orc soldiers on the periphery suddenly stopped attacking and stared blankly at their feet.

On the ground, the stones were jumping, the grass was vibrating, and the water was trembling...

One by one, the orcs looked behind them.

The sun jumped out from the horizon, and the first light of dawn dyed a hill behind the orc army with a brilliant golden edge.

A figure jumped up to the top of the mountain, carrying the brilliance of the morning sun!

This is probably Gandalf's brightest moment in the film.

He seemed to appear in front of everyone with a light that illuminated Middle-earth. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Gandalf in white robes and white horse galloped down the hillside.

Behind him were the endless Rohan hussars, shouting the slogan of charge, and followed Gandalf towards the Orc army.

The strength returned to the bodies of the remnant soldiers.

Aragorn raised his sword and shouted,"For the people! Kill!"

Legolas jumped up lightly, stepped on the mammoth's trunk and fired arrows, expressing his fighting intention with actions.

The arrival of Gandalf and reinforcements at dawn also symbolizes that darkness will eventually pass and light will always come.

(PS: The author personally believes that the Battle of Helm's Deep is the highest peak of the entire"Lord of the Rings" movie series, and it brought tears to my eyes.) The defensive battle of Helm's Deep... the battle of Isengard... the elven reinforcements... Rohan Hussars...

In the end, the tree people became the"surprise soldier" to break the situation.

All the clues are connected

""Justice" is about to win, and the audience in the theater is also excited.
