"Lord of the Rings" series can be regarded as the originator of magic movies. Although nearly 20 years have passed, there are really few magical movies that can surpass it. Whether it is shooting techniques or film narrative methods and special effects. "Lord of the Rings" all give people the feeling of a Hollywood blockbuster, so why is it that so long has passed, it is still difficult to have a magical movie that can shake the status of "Lord of the Rings"?
1. The original work has a strong foundation
Generally speaking, the quality of a movie depends on the quality of the script. When the script is good, the movie will have a soul. The director, special effects and a series of other factors are secondary. The logic of the script is the most important. Combine a good script with a powerful original and the whole movie is half the battle.
John Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" is a work he has exhausted his life's energy. The characters in it seem to be endowed with souls and can reach this state. In addition to borrowing from Western mythological novels, Tolkien also Knowing the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the British society, the "Lord of the Rings World View" was born. The
script itself is powerful. If you don't adapt it randomly, choose the right actors, and add special effects, how can your movies not become classics? This is also true. The film "Lord of the Rings" has endured for a long time, and it is difficult for future generations to reach this level.
2. The director respects the original
The quality of a movie is closely related to the director. If you want to adapt a well-known work into a movie, you must be careful in the choice of director. This is different from the shooting of commercial films. The original novel has a magnificent world view, and it is not just a matter of just deleting it by a highly experienced director. If it is a little bit abrupt, the whole movie will lose its due feelings and colors due to inappropriate deletion, and the audience will also watch it in the mist.
"The Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson has done quite well in this regard, he himself is a fan of the original Tolkien. Before he found an investor, Jackson was planning to shoot "Lord of the Rings". Because of his love, he respected the original as a director. He has been brewing for more than three years for the script alone, just to let the audience fully understand the worldview represented by "Lord of the Rings".
For most people, there will be more or less boring parts in the book, but the director uses exaggerated music and clever special effects to explain instead of cutting them out. It is precisely because of this that the audience understands a complete and smooth "Lord of the Rings".
3. The actor's finishing touch
"Lord of the Rings" can be respected by everyone, and actors with both acting skills and strength are indispensable. Before the filming, the actors appointed by the director were not well-known and worthy, but it turns out that the director’s choice was correct. The characters in "Lord of the Rings" were fully interpreted by these actors. Since then, they have also shot many Hollywood blockbusters. .
The key figure in the Lord of the Rings series is Gandalf. If the actors for this role are chosen well, then the whole movie will rise to a higher level. "Old drama bone" Ian McLean is unintentionally the best choice. His interpretation makes People feel that Gandalf should be like this: at the time of the war, like a knight, leading people in the front to charge.
Ian McLay incorporated Gandalf's indomitable and elegant appearance into his heart, lived up to the expectations of fans, and brought fans a "live" Gandalf.
When many people analyze why this movie is difficult to surpass, they usually start from the content of the film, so this time, we will analyze it from other angles.
has many factors that affect the quality of the movie. If the script is the foundation of a movie, then the actor is the engine and the director is the steering wheel. Every place cooperates with each other and exerts its own function to the extreme, the film will become a classic handed down. Obviously, "Lord of the Rings" did it. It is precisely because of the interaction of the three most important factors, the script, the director, and the actors, that this film will become a classic, and it is difficult for latecomers to top it.
