So previously I did mention about my personal
experience about coincidence with films. This time, it might not sound that
exactly coincidence, but close. It was about this classic trilogy-Lord of The
Rings that I've been intending to watch for ages, I think since I was still in
primary school. It's like Harry Potter, one might feel left out if we
completely have no knowledge about it. Actually, I have neither complete the
whole series of Harry Potter films nor read any of the books, quite jakun ah!
Since today's a holiday, I first intended to watch the Avengers or Men in Black
3, but thanks to the strict legal action, neither any two movies were able to
be found on the internet. Even the best that I've got was the Avengers full
movie in GERMAN. (Somehow they allow German and Russian as if only either no
one knows these languages or only people who understands these 2 languages are
allowed to watch free on internet. Because the same thing occured to me last time
for Johnny English 2)
In
the end, I convinced myself to watch LOTR part 1 for today. Before that, I was
prepared for the long hours that I'm gonna spend on this movie because it was
GOD FORSAKEN LONG. Movies with such length hardly exist in the 21st century, I
can tolerate it if it's the My Fair Lady or Mary Poppins era because that 2 was
also freaking long. Anyway, the first 15 minutes, I was going to fall asleep,
partly because it was too啰嗦, at the same time I was
sleepy at that time. I cannot tahan until I went to check out the synopsis on
wikipedia first. MY GOODNESS the starting 30 minutes of the movie felt like
forever and according to wikipedia it's only about 3 lines of the synopsis =.=||

Lucky
thing I didn't give up continue watching because the best is always left for
the last. Orlando Bloom's handsome as Legolas is well known to me way before I
watched this movie but man Aragorn is just so HAWT. The way he shows his
calmness, his determination from the temptations of the ring, the way he fought
against the enemies is just SWOOSH! Others were also pretty charming because of
their courage. To be honest I dislike Frodo the most actually, in the sense
that I don't he's suitable as the hero of the story because he's so weak and he
could've died without the help of others! I think Sam should be the hero
instead because from what I see in the 3rd installment of LOTR, Frodo died at
least once and saved by Sam during the spider attack; second, Sam helped kept
the ring when the enemies took Frodo away after he was poisoned by the spider.
The best thing was that Sam wasn't even tempted to make the ring his own at
that time when he could've done that. Third, if it wasn't for Sam to convince Frodo
to reach for his hand. Frodo would've fell into the fire and buried with Gollum
and the ring. In the end, I felt injustice to see that everyone's crediting
Frodo instead of Sam. Lucky thing they showed more of Sam in the end.

Though
the story was effin long, but I'm very satisfied with first, no doubts the
visual art and the details that they project it. After finishing the fellowship
of the ring, I brief through the two towers and the return of the king but
finished the ending. ( yes I'm such a spoiler to myself) I swear this has to be
the longest ending I've ever seen in a movie but it's the best conclusion I've
ever seen. Probably I was disappointed with the HK's remake of "What Women
Want" I watched last night, seeing how they simply put in those scenes
made in the Mel Gibson original version without making things clearly
explained. To me it felt like, I wouldn't understand that movie if I didn't
watch the original version before. Anyway, continuing with LOTR. When everyone
thought that the movie will end soon after the ring is destroyed or at most,
Aragorn's coronation with his reunite with Arwen. But turned out, it explained
about Sam with his dream girl, Bilbo, the red book of Westmarch and the
seperation of Frodo and his hobbit friends before leaving for the Undying Lands
was particularly impressive as it allows you to sip in to the grieving of Sam
with his best friend's sudden departure and probably makes you wanna cry.
Not
saying this to follow a commercialized trend, but LOTR was a good movie. For
me, a great movie or I rather call classic, is something that's worth watching
again and again and most importantly it's revolutionary. The technology used in
this movie changed the perspective of the film industry and evolve it into
further epic creations such as Pirates of the Carribean which is also my
another favourite. My words at this point are certainly insufficient to
describe my feelings and excitement for these 3 movies. Besides, it's like I'm
exploring a whole new world with a group of unrealistic stuff in it. Guess I
was too stressed out these days so I've decided to rewind and fallback on
unrealistic, stereotype, predictable, happy ending movies. LOTR fits those
criteria. After that I went on to Wikipedia, my reliable source for any movie confusion,
I was super duper excited that the prequel-The Hobbit is releasing this year
14th of December! 2 days before my b'day!!! And I felt thankful to be watching
it now for the first time before the hobbits is release; at the same time
thankful that I wouldn't be like other LOTR fans needed to wait for 9 years for
the other LOTR movie!
Similarly
this year we have a movie which enjoys similar success as LOTR this year that
is the Avengers (who knows if the hobbits would surpass them) My point is, the
Avengers is so called a must watch movie, but I'm doubting whether it will
impress me like how LOTR did to me today. Speaking about that, I actually
thought Chris Hemsworth might be suitable for a role, maybe Boromir or Aragorn
would be pretty cool. Thor is kinda cheap for him.
I've
been babbling an essay about how great is this movie but I've not mention the
coincident part =.=||| Because I was wayyyyy too excited for it. So here it is.
I tweeted about LOTR while watching and after watching it. Minutes after my
last tweet on it, I saw LOTR was trending and I was like....w.h.a.t.....did
people just retweet my post or just decided to watch it after I posted it.....
The
truth is always an ugly one. The fact tells me that I was purely being
narcissistic. It was HBO which was showing the trilogy right after I finished
watching it on my lappie and so it trended cuz everyone's watching it.
Can
that be a coincident?
