Chapter 358 The king has returned, and the story will finally come to an end
Once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit, let alone an army of 100,000 orcs.
The dense orc army marched towards Minas Tirith. The Nazgul rode black dragons as sky knights in mid-air, bringing huge psychological pressure to the defenders of Minas Tirith.
This movie is undoubtedly the top movie of this era in terms of its scenes, special effects production, and the spiritual core it expresses.
Especially for movie fans, whether it is an army of orcs attacking Minas Tirith, the human defenders are struggling to resist. Whether it was the trebuchet battle or the Nazgul attack, they were all dizzying.
Doug and Zoe's eyes were fixed on the big screen, their hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and they did not dare to let go.
Zoe also muttered silently: "Hold on, hold on until Rohan's reinforcements arrive."
In the front row, DiCaprio was completely dumbfounded when he saw this grand scene: "Little Gilbert didn't lie. Compared with "The Return of the King", the Battle of Helm's Deep in "The Two Towers" is just an appetizer."
Ridley Scott once again came to the premiere of "Return of the King". Seeing this scene and comparing it to the scenes in his "Gladiator" movie, he shook his head helplessly.
In front of "Return of the King", "Gladiator" is like a village fight.
However, Ridley Scott feels that the scenes of "Kingdom of Heaven" currently being prepared are comparable, if not better than "The Return of the King".
Needless to say, fans, there has been no let-up since the Battle of Minas Tirith began.
In New York, watching Minas Tirith struggling to resist, someone shouted: "Come on, Minas Tirith, hold on."
At this time, no one blamed the second-rate fan, but silently cheered for Minas Tirith.
After fighting from day to night, and from night to before dawn, the gates of Minas Tirith finally collapsed.
The orc army filed in, rushed into the streets of Minas Tirith, and fought with the defenders.
Because of the inaction of the Regent of Gondor, Gandalf became the backbone of Minas Tirith. He shuttled on the city walls and streets, shouting with all his strength.
"Fight, fight to the end, fight for survival..."
Although the defenders of Minas Tirith fought hard, the Orc army was outnumbered and gradually outnumbered.
Soon, the first level of the city was breached, and the defenders retreated to the second level.
The second level is almost unbearable, and there are still interferences from the Nazgul in the sky, entangled Gandalf.
In Peter Jackson's version, Gandalf's abilities have been weakened a lot. In fact, in the original book, the Nazgul could not defeat Gandalf in a one-on-one duel, but Gandalf almost killed the Nazgul.
In Little Gilbert's version, Gandalf's ability has not been weakened, but the Nazgul did not fight Gandalf in a duel.
The nine Nazgûl launched a vicious swarm, entangling Gandalf so that he could not support the defenders of Minas Tirith.
Little Gilbert did not intersperse the scenes with Frodo here, but only interspersed part of the scenes with Aragorn and King Théoden.
Aragorn and Legolas Gimli came to the Mountain of the Dead together and met the former traitors and the undead wandering here.
Although the negotiation process was not smooth, in the end the undead army agreed to Aragorn's request.
Gondor experiences a night of despair, but Aragorn finds new hope.
Bingbing Li has been completely immersed in the movie. She has been filming here for so long and her daily communication is in English, so she has no problem understanding and watching pure English movies.
Needless to say, children at this age have stronger learning abilities.
But Shu Chang has not yet had time to appreciate the emotions of despair and hope, perseverance and courage expressed in the film. She was completely attracted by the shocking scene and couldn't move her eyes away.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" undoubtedly represents the highest level of the Hollywood film industry in the world, and its technical performance is so high that other filmmakers around the world despair.
These days, big scenes with special effects can conquer movie fans in other parts of the world.
But what's really scary about "The Return of the King" is that while achieving these big scenes, it also tells a touching story to the audience.
At this time, the Battle of Minas Tirith has reached its most critical moment. The Regent of Gondor wanted to burn his son to death, but was stopped by Pippin.
The Orc army has swept into the city, the defenders fought bloody battles, the unarmed people were massacred, and Gandalf was entangled by the nine Nazgul.
The general of the orc army has issued the final order: "Charge into the city, kill everyone, leave no one behind..."
All the early audiences in North America clenched their fists. If Gondor falls, the human world will be hopeless.
Hold on, Minas Tirith, humanity's last hope and last bastion! All movie fans couldn't help shouting in their hearts.
However, at this most desperate moment, the eastern sun broke through the clouds and broke the darkness before dawn.
Along with this ray of sunshine that brought hope, King Théoden leapt on his horse and whipped his horse, appearing on the highlands east of the Perrin Plains, followed by the brave knights of Rohan.
Hope appears...
"Won't they be afraid when they see the orc army?"
The camera gave a large panoramic view of the orc army in front of the city wall of Minas Tirith. The densely packed orc army made people suffer from trypophobia.
And Minas Tirith is burning everywhere. If the Knights of Rohan come later, Minas Tirith will no longer exist.
Noel looked at the terrifying orc army, and he couldn't help but worry about the knights of Rohan.
Do they have the courage to attack the orcs?
The answer is of course yes. King Théoden looked at the army of Orcs arraying in the distance with firm eyes. He began to make final pre-war deployments and pre-war mobilization.
"Eomer, take your men and attack from the left."
"ready to go……"
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and King Théoden kept walking: "Gamlin, follow the king's flag and attack from the center. Grimbor, attack from the right wing after passing through the city wall."
Just a simple pre-war deployment made movie fans excited and ignited hope in their hearts.
Even Kenneth Turan, who has always been a staunch opponent of Little Gilbert, has to say that this scene is really shocking.
Of course, he still has to scold him when he should, after all, this is what he earns.
"Go forward! Don't be afraid of the darkness. Rise up! King Theoden's knights." King Theoden shouted in front of the battle.
"Wield your spears, pierce the enemy's shields, march forward bravely, kill the enemies with your swords, and fight to the bitter end until the sun rises again..."
The knights raised their spears, and Princess Eowen and Merry of Rohan were also inside. It could be seen that the two of them were still a little scared, but at this time they had firmly raised their spears and swords.
King Théoden clashed his sword with the spears in the front row, indicating that the king was with them and not to be afraid.
Noel felt that this scene was something he would never forget. It was so great and shocking.
If he could travel to Middle-earth, he would be willing to die in battle with King Theoden at this time.
"Prepare to fight! Prepare to fight, rush to destruction, rush to the end of the world, Death..."
Following King Theoden's slogan, the morale of the Rohan knights was boosted: "Death..."
This sound of Death brings endless power to people, raising emotions to the highest point and conveying them from the big screen to the audience outside the screen.
I don’t know who shouted the same sentence, and soon at the premiere, fans followed the voice of King Théoden on the big screen and shouted: "Death..."
And those Hollywood celebrity guests sitting in the front row no longer held back and joined in the emotional carnival.
This is not an isolated case. Deafening shouts were heard in many movie theaters across the United States at the same time.
It was as if the movie fans had turned into the Knights of Rohan and charged with King Théoden.
No one blames these fans, because most of the fans who can grab early tickets are die-hard movie fans.
At this time, no one had any objections. Instead, they were infected by the emotion and involuntarily followed up with the cry of death.
The sun illuminated the phalanx of Rohan's cavalry, accompanied by King Theoden's sword swing: "Come on, sons of Io..."
The horn of Rohan sounded, and the cavalry slowly accelerated. The sun shone on the armor of the knights, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light and blessed by divine power.
Looking at this exciting charging scene, how can we not be excited?
“This is the most shocking and exciting movie in history!” Zoe grabbed Doug’s arm and said excitedly: “This is the most exciting scene in any movie I have ever seen. "
"Yeah, that's it!" Doug responded.
The knights of Rohan were unstoppable and rushed into the camp of the orc army. The orcs, who originally seemed invincible, seemed vulnerable in front of the knights.
It turns out that the orc army is also afraid, and they are not invincible.
However, the knights of Rohan alone cannot completely defeat the orc army, let alone the Nazgul in the sky.
Just then, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli arrived, along with an army of elves led by Princess Arwen.
In Peter Jackson's version, there is no Arwen in this battle, she only appears at the end.
But because of Arwen's high popularity, little Gilbert had actually filmed this scene long ago and then added it to the feature film.
There was an army of undead following behind, launching a final offensive against the orc army.
At this time, it was the home court of Legolas and Arwen.
Despite the news that Orlando Bloom was involved by a third party, he is still very popular among fans, especially those fanatical female fans.
If Legolas attracts female fans, then Arwen's role is to attract male fans.
So just like the previous movie, every time Legolas drew his bow and drew an arrow handsomely, the female fans would shout that he was so handsome.
And when Yawen walked lightly among the orcs and harvested the orcs, the male fans started to revel.
The Battle of Minas Tirith ended, King Théoden died on the battlefield, and Eomer, as a woman, killed the King of the Nazgul.
Merry and Pippin, two good brothers, meet, and Legolas and Gimli compare themselves to see who has killed more orcs.
And Aragorn and Arwen embraced each other on the battlefield, using this blood-stained battlefield to witness their love through thick and thin.
Logically speaking, once this battle is over, "Return of the King" should be almost over. Just explain Frodo's line. After all, almost two hours have passed in the film.
But all the movie fans felt that they couldn't get enough of it. They just couldn't get enough of it. It was so exciting.
If they could, they hoped the story of "Lord of the Rings" would never end.
