All right, let's start this up.
Ok, this is a review of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Now let' just
let's just start by saying that Lord of the Rings is right now
one of the most beloved
trilogies in all
of film history, at least modern film history.
Let's see. I don't know where to begin with my experience with it but
a long time ago,
I was around, I don't know, probably six or seven years old and the first movie came out.
And
I didn't see any of them in the theater except for the last one when that came out. one that came out
But right away when I first saw this movie i instantly was just enthralled
in this world.
This magical world of Middle-Earth just
immediately grabbed my attention
as to something magical, something that we could all
learn to love. Something we can all appreciate.
I don't know where else to go with this,
but
right away I just instantly fell in love with this trilogy,
and with each new film it just got better and better.
And right away the first one starts out as an instant classic.
So I don't know where to begin. I guess we'll start with the first scene
which is kind of the prologue
scene that sets up this whole movie of how the ring comes to be.
Right away and we notice the score
by Howard Shore.
who himself is one of the most honored film music writers in
modern history.
Cate Banchett, a great actress, of course, narrates over the
whole thing of how the ring came to be and how
Lord Sauran conjured it up and sent all these lands into darkness and
everything, and it's, right away a great, great scene.
And that's about, I don't know, the first seven, eight minutes of screen time,
which also explains the story of Isildur, which of course reflects
the story of Aragorn,
who turns out to be one of the main characters and then of course we get
what happens to Gollum, who doesn't really come in until the second and third movie.
But we get some brief
little scenes with him, this first one of course.
And then we get our introduction to Bilbo
through this prologue.
and now right away we see him again after our throats in spanish
and we begin in hollister now right away poverty
uh...
has this feel to it uh... that
that is home
right away we get the sense of this is a bad people places dot
for these people who live here this is a place that they call home
and many of the reason call right away we see that this is similar to in a
small town
in america and one billion in india in england or anywhere
uh... because week right we we see also refute all sorts of agency adults
we see eachother and we see all sorts of blues with them
we see happy children we see deatils we see
all sorts of stuff that
reflects what somebody's house on the city's
process tire world uh... actually have
and that's a great great starts this movie which is to introduce our main
characters
and saying that they call home
and we're happy that we call that they call we're happy to see them uh...
living in such a safe haven
i say hobbits and really kind of represents
essentially all
uh... lives and it's the great great start and then uh...
the whole plot starts monday and also with your um...
comes to violence in uh... because of the lows of hundred eleventh birthday
uh... and it's uh... right away
uh... the relationship between cannot deal well
bank is handled pretty well because of course there is uh...
uh... the hollywood which is yet to come out
um...
where they go on as a decade ago
and uh...
bilal you know his birthday celebration this guy with the said there's fireworks
uh...
all this stuff
and he gets the speech which says you know might find some very tired you know
did it get away from here
uh... we go somewhere more quiet and of course it was the ring on slips away
and he's confronted by the end often said that i thought you were here it is
raining bill o'connor has this and rage moment
uh... where he's too bad
too selfish here in the ring
and uh...
but at the same time
in essence the united states
uh... bilbao ends up leaving
of course and
uh... there's a scene where fellow clip i should say
were bilbao that you don't have to decide okay i'm going to keep this rain
or blanket to pass it off for a little
for him to hide you know for him to
is that one
this to happen to proto
uh... working realizes he has this kind of
where uh...
and i i i hate to say it
that satellite similar to an addition of some sort
where he uh...
pass to you really have to kick the habit inouye
and uh...
missus grazing retired here you cannot holds out the morning
interest slowly slowly lets the fall
and uh...
and it's a good shows uh... his great spirit
that even though he had times tennesseans possessed by this ring
uh... that is good nature it will uh...
will win out in the end
and i think that
uh... sets up bilbao's so that we right away we get the sense of
you know he's not gonna turn into a bad idea halfway through a series or
anything
but senate yeah it's
a great introduction and i i find five performance by eating at home
okay so that now we move on uh... too
danoff of
then kind of says to throw in passing you know he says
okay this rain you know
as those old rain is magic reimbursed review remarry caller
and uh... distinctive secret melville
uh... in or around wearing it
and uh... when he returns uh...
you get up and finds out the story behind this rain
need thousands for that this was will made by oversaw around who
uh... is desperately seeking this rain in the desert
everything that was back before in the prologue that we see it will come again
and it's
really really advice performance by ian mcallen
uh... this is a story in mcallen
uh... then we get to see
right away in his character we get to see his seriousness
uh... and get to see and
is storytelling ability
if he's able to bring up all this good stuff
uh...
and uh... really tell it in a nice nice way
uh... and uh... we get the sense in that scene where our we're gandalf explains
everything that the rain itself
is the primary goal of this descending nobody should have been disagrees with
that
matsuo about sarah and you know he's the evil with repeater gandalf one point
or uh... what about uh... later on you know in the series you know there's
other but
uh...
but now the rainy is the and
the essential evil that must be destroyed
it's the
yet it is in a way the exact
villain
the primary bill and that this film series has to defeat
and it did and that you know
it tests everybody and that uh...
in uh...
it can the really really messed people up
uh... said simply that yeah i i like that uh...
that the name villain is not in human
that's that is a great stories hounded by its
uh... and uh... we
they refuse to send one is the idea
really really nice uh... performance by uh... shah nasir as well
uh...
start as as an semis
and they start this journey and uh... for a vote can change is costing me puts
on the stuff that kind of represents adventure
and right away we get the sense of his turning from aborted from and we can get
that sets right away
that you know before he was kind of in the dark about everything and he was
uh...
really really
an hour
out of outages not even
included but now he's the center of everything
and we had uh... right away it'll say no
salmon program going across the country
uh... the countryside
and the the cinematography just reflects this by showing us is wonderful miller
uh...
but certainly it is right it was the
uh... is the uh... cinematographer honesty won an academy award for it
uh... so yet is really really nice job on that
but right away we'd feel
is that the same lines
that this journey was not meant for him
right away we get the sense uh... between him and for auto
that hobbits are not meant to take on this extraordinary journey
is is uh... c_n_n_ articulate really always remember with with his character
uh... and a lot of people do as well
uh... where he says forty kind of their walking in the end
and any kind stops and he says if i think one or step is the part of the
seller or obtained from home
anthro says you know this dataset and
and yet we feel johannes are small you know they're not the big gigantic uh...
creatures
that should be karega rain across the entire of world they sickly
across many countries and over mountains and and in the marshes and stuff
uh... that we
that we don't
feel that they are our primary heroes we feel as if they should be like the
supporting people
it's access so well so they can eventually become
the big heroes that the man cannot meet them
at the elves cannot be and it's uh...
just a great start with that
