THE RETURN OF THE KING

The Return of the King is a 2003 epic fantasy adventure film produced, written and directed by Peter Jackson, based on the second and third volumes of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It is the last film of the trilogy, following the "Two Towers". The main characters of this film are Frodo (Elijah Wood), Sam (Sean Astin), Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Saruman (Christopher Lee), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), Aragorn (Vigo Morte), Gollum (Amdy Serkis)...

The plot of this film is that the armies of the Dark Lord are extending their evil shadow through The Earth. So men, elves and dwarves join forces to present a battle against Sauron and his hosts. Oblivious to these preparations, Frodo and Sam enter more and more into the country of Mordor on their heroic journey to destroy the Ring of Power in the Cracks of Destiny.


About the visual effects work, Alan Lee and Mark Lewis have comopse various photographs of New Zealand landscape to create the digital arena of the Pelennor Fields. Moreover, for the battle, they recorded 450 motions for the digital horses (though deaths were animated), and also had to deal with late additions in the film, such as Trolls bursting through Minas Tirith's gates as well as the creatures that pull Grond to the gate. Besides, The Return of the King also has practical effects. In the Pyre of Denethor sequence, as the Steward of Gondor throws Pippin out of the Tomb, John Noble, threw a Fon onto a prostrate Billy Boid, who immediately pushed his head into camera to complete the illusion. A few burning torches were also reflected off a plate of glass.


Some criticism of this film are about how good it is, with an epic success and a history-making production that finishes with a masterfully entertaining final installment. There are people who say that calling this as a movie is almost an injustice because is an experience of epic scope, amazing emotional power and relentless momentum.


To sum up, this film, as the same way as the other two, is one of my favourite  because of the mystery and intrigue you have while the scenes are changing. Besides, its views, animations and hilarious moments are the best ones I have ever seen in comparison with other films.

Heritage shooting


This time the teacher asked us to make a video during the christmas holdays about our culture. My group and I have decided to focus on a traditional festive day of our city: "Santo Tomas". We've tried to show the traditions and habitual things that we do on that day such as visit the animals and eat our special food called "talo". But the most special thing we do this day is dress up as the old basque people; here an example:

ESSAY, A TRIP TO THE MOON

A trip to the Moon is a French film in black and white which was done in France in 1902. It is a short, in fact, the length of this film is about fourteen minutes and twelve seconds. Despite it hasn't got any sound, not even any voice, this film is acted in a very simple and attractive way which makes you understand everything that is happening. Some actors of this motion picture are Victor André, as an Astronomer, as well as Delpierre,Kelm,Brunnet, Frjaux... Also, there is Henri Delannoy (as the Captain of the Rocket), Jehanne d'Alcy (as a secretary/Star/Rocket Attendant)... Besides, Georges Méliès is not only the director of this movie, but also editor, the moon and Prof. Barbenfouillis.

The theme of this film is basically a trip to the moon which the Professor propose. The story starts with all the astronomers and the professor in a class. Then, Mr. Barbenfouillis tell them what he has on his mind to go to the moon. There is a wide range of expressions after his plan. Fortunately, a group is chosen to go on the trip, so that, with the help of the secretary and around 5 more women, they make a capsule and go to the moon. There, they come across with some mysterious being. Finally they do their best to come back to the Earth.

The director creates a captivating conflict in more than in one occasion. For example, when he tell in the class what he has on his mind to make the trip to the moon, at first,  there is an astronomer that is against the plan. Because of it, although there is no voice, we are able to watch and imagine in our minds what a commotion is in that moment there, everybody stands and starts to make hilarious movements of exasperation. In addition, the scenes I find more accurates are when they start fighting with the mysterious beings (they kill them in a very funny way with an umbrella), when they are in the moon and appear stars with the faces of the women and some men who had appeared before...

To sum up, I think that this film is done in a very creative and imaginative way and very well adapted for the year it was made. It is said it is not only the most important cinematography creation of Georges Méliès, but also first science fiction film. This movie has taught me that you can appeal and entertain people with very simple backgrounds and striking clothes. This film may is in the list, because as I said before, is the first science fiction film.


STORY PATTERN
  1.  YOU: The astronomers are in a class thinking new plans.
  2. NEED: The professor wants to go to the moon, and he explains his plan
  3. GO: They go to the moon in a capsule they made with help of more people.

  6. TAKE: They take advantage of tehir method to kill them and go to the capsule again.
  7. RETURN: They set off as faster as they can, and come back to the Earth
  8. CHANGE: Someone has already  been in the moon
