The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
This few days gt some calls from some trainers and charities... I blur blur dun really know how to explain to them, lucky gt Surin guiding me beside haha. Sometimes, I feel so paiseh... had to keep asking her this and that... cos she's very busy mah. Well, at least I'm clearer about the diff grants nw.
I dunno if I would be interested in reading the book but the movie was definitely an eye-opener. The change of settings... be it dark and evil like Mordor, or graceful and elegant like Elven realm of Lothlórien and Elven haven of Rivendell, or even the warm Shire, they were so beautifully depicted. The storyline brings ups and downs, every nw and then. Audience felt the fear, tension, excitement and peace, led by the story.
Basically it's about a ring made by the Dark Lord Sauron, it was an evil ring filled with desires. Most human, elves, orcs, hobbits, dwarfs etc tat came near it would have the strong desire to own it... for they could control the world with one ring. Sauron was killed by Prince Isildur in a war, and the prince took the ring, but did nt destroy it. After many yrs, it was passed on to Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) by Bilbo Baggins. Frodo had to see to tat the ring is destroyed. He was accompanied by 8 others on his journey to Mordor, and they formed "The Fellowship of the Ring".
An ensemble cast... kinda seldom tat we see it in movies. Gandalf The Grey was a wise old man... I liked his presence in the movie as the so-called "guardian" role. Aragorn (nt the big spider in HP movie lol), aka Strider, is really 1 swordsman... woo I loved the "big bro" spirit, hope to see him more in part 2 and 3! Legolas (Orlando Bloom) is simply... beautiful lol. Gimli the dwarf is so funny when u see him bicker with Legolas haha. Oh and few lines of his were funny too. I rmbed one scene whereby Lady Galadriel asked wat he wants from her, as a parting gift b4 they left Elven realm of Lothlórien, he asked for "1 strand of her golden hair"... and he was escalated cos she "gave him 3 strands" LOL! Think most of the humour came from another hobbit, Peregrin Took (Pippin). This guy was kind of stupid... and so stupid yet funny jokes came out from his mouth haha. The humour toned down the mostly tensed up atmosphere in the movie. As for Frodo (Elijah Woods)... I tot this young lad had quite a beautiful face too, and his eyes can "talk"... they showed fear and anger very well.
Couldn't help but compared it to "Harry Potter" somehow. I know it's not totally comparable but still... haha. "Elf-ish" lang is used among the elves, whereas in HP... "parsel-tongue" is heard. I think the thing about "alien lang" in fantasy movies is sth that attracts me. Another thing that attracts me would be电影的不真实吧. I'm so used to reality... definitely need to "escape" to the "realms-impossible" at times lol.
*I get fed up and upset when ppl go against me. Maybe I shld weigh purpose against friendship against money properly. I admit tat I dun bear to part with more (when it could actualli be less imo), and the tension felt at tat pt of time pushes me to insist even more on my pt. (我认了啦... 我不喜欢输的滋味。) It's contradictory. Up... down... up... down... flat. I give in, usually haha. 反正难得有机会嘛. *
Lunch went with VCF ppl cos I heard that CP's transferring to another department soon. I saw Andrew and Comm Chest ppl at the same coffee shop haha. I had dried "mee hoon guey" ($3.50)... bad taste.
