    i think peter jackson had said that the production of the hobbit was just handed to him as a total mess as del Toro left. They had no time and started filming with no script or idea of what or how they were filming would end up in the movie. They also planned two movies and was pushed to 3

    Studio pressure caused the Hobbit to be three films. It was supposed to be two origionally, which I think would have been about right if you wanted to include everything from the book. Although the Hobbit is not a very long book, you can't just make an exact translation of a book to a film. Some things that are just a line in a book require at least a minute or two to make sense in a film-Eg-The mountain giants hurling rocks at one another. One line in the book. Wouldn't make sense to just show for a couple of seconds in the film adaption.
    Likewise, including all those dwarfs and then not bothering to give them each a chance at having an individual character or personality would have been pretty odd in a film adaption-Even though that's basically what happens in the book (most the dwarfs are just there and don't really do very much other than get captured repeatedly).
    I actually quite like the Hobbit trilogy, though it does suffer a bit from bloat due to unrealistic expectations of the studio. It's not a s good as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but not a lot is. It's definitle better than the vast majority of other stuff out there.

    American accents are easier because they're more vague, like they said. If you're trying to do a British accent, you have to learn the accent from whatever region your character is from (Manchester, London, Leeds, Whales, Liverpool, etc), and do their specific accent. There are countless British accents, whereas the average american one is more widespread.

    when you get 35+ years in prison for something stupid you did when you were 16, you're bound to come out more messed up than when you started going in. locking someone up for decades of their life unable to live losing all that time for a night gone wrong and being forced to live in a place with people who might be either in the same situation or someone who wouldn't be remorseful about causing a genocide and calling the cage time for a majority of their life "rehabilitation" is ludicrous

    • @greenredblue
      @greenredblue 2 роки тому +4

      I'm really hoping they see this, because it's a way more interesting story behind the scenes. Highlights:
      - Guillermo del Toro originally planned two movies, because that fits the story better. Forcing three movies requires finding three three-act structures, which doesn't fit the narrative well.
      - The Hobbit just doesn't have the same tone or stakes as LOTR, and it's not structured like a prequel. Guillermo was going to handle this by simply not trying to replicate the LOTR movies and just make something different.
      - For really interesting financial and contractual reasons, the studios demanded three movies. And of course what they really wanted was just a clone of LOTR, regardless of what the material supported. Fighting over this with Guillermo was why he got canned.
      - Peter Jackson really did not want to be very involved with these movies. He was exhausted, and not interested. But the studios were threatening to pull the production out of New Zealand and he agreed to step in if it stayed. Kind of a hostage situation.
      - For movies of this scale at least a year of pre-production is normal. But when the studios threw out Guillermo and his ideas, they also threw out ALL of his material. Yet for contractual reasons couldn't delay the release date. So these movies had ZERO preparation at all.
      - And just to top it all off, these movies fundamentally changed the course of labor relations in the New Zealand movie industry for years.
      I wish they'd had this context when discussing the topic. It's super interesting.

      Yeah I gotta disagree with them on this one, there was plenty to like about those movies. Some of the scenes were really well done and the casting was great too imo. The problem was all the extra stuff, like the otp action sequences and the weird elf/dwarf romance.
      Comparing them to LOTR is also a little unfair as The Hobbit was always much more of a children's story.

      I think you're right. I think humanitarianism wasn't commonly integrated into societies before religion, and can still be seen today in the fact that many churches sponsor orphanages and soup kitchens and stuff. I think religion served to really scare people into being moral, because according to religion there's a consequence (temporal or eternal) for every action, even if no person knows you did it.

    Obviously the boys are talking from a very Abrahamic perspective but keep in mind, to Pyrions comments, that not all religions are created equal!
    Just from my perspective as a Jew it would seem that yes, you are right in that humanitarianism comes from people, the base, rather then G-d(s) or a higher power like the reincarnation cycle, the superstructure, these things often play off one another. I.e the superstructure helps maintain the base and the base shapes the superstructure. If you have more humanitarian religious people, G-d becomes more humanitarian.
    And before any entrepid ne'er do well speaks about how Brahma created the Caste System or how G-d kilked Egyptian firstborns (objectively evil) oftentimes it is the interpretation and lesson learned from which that makes the act evil. For my former example (as it is more simple) one can surmise that Brahma created the caste system for a reason. To me their are two big ideas you, as a Hindu, can interpret this as: 1. Brahma believed that people had their place in society and likely the people who wrote it wanted to control peoples lives. 2. Believers in Brahma believed that it was a reward for performing well the other tenants set out in various Hindu sects. When you die you are a Brahmin (priestly class) rather then a Shudras (shit shoveling class). Both imply a paternalistic tone but the latter can help people do good in the world.
    Or in cultural marxist terms, the superstructure (Brahma) informs the Shudras to not kill animals for no good reason.
    I have a lot if respect for my Rabbi not merely because he is a learned man. But because he says "what do you think the people at the time were trying to yell us now" and invokes the idea that literature is a conversation. This is a far fetch from televangelists that spew hogwash and is of course, a completely arbitrary marker unless you form your own ideas and then use them to interpret rich liturgical history. This got longer then expected but now im off to drink (grape juice) for Purim! To celebrate the execution of a Persian King who was about to genocide the Jewish people!
