8、ontributed to the world for the new myth attention. Lord of the Rings series, won 30 nominations and 17 Oscar Awards, and set a new series for the nomination and winning record. The, authority of Oscar Awards means the magic movies break away from the wings of science fiction films and fully attract

9、 the attention from all over the world. Any science-fiction films have not made such a brilliant achievement, but magic movie made it. It is high-profile recognition for the combination of magic and modern technology. Magic movies finally played the first pitch after a long history of ups and downs,

10、 mapping into the modern realistic values for the retrial. Although the subject of Western Magic has entered Chinese movie market for several years, audiences are not familiar with it until the emergence of the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. As a classic literary works in half a century

11、ago that contains strong Western cultural values, series of the Lord of the Rings fully conquer the hearts of Chinese audiences with the shock of the audio and visual effects. With the movie Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter as a big success, magic movie has already been the mainstream ideology of the

12、 recognition and attention, and gradually heating up into one magic boom. Many experts and scholars have studied on this movie from many perspectives.Xingfanfu mentions that Gothic works, the most typical one is the Lord of the Rings, described supernatural phenomena, dark and terrible events, aimed

13、 to discuss moral and religious issues, and presented readers with the conflicts between Good and Evil. . (Xingfanfu V)Meanwhile, from another perspective of analyzing this movie, Yangxin mentioned this movie reflects the American dream; it presents the culture root of American native culture. (Yang

14、xin 132)Besides those, Wushasha, who studies in College of Southwest University, talks about the beauty wilderness of New Zealand Wild in her works that reflect the relationship between nature and mankind, and suggests that the harmony between people and nature before the Industrial Revolution .(Wsh

15、asha 51 )According to these views, I believe that there are four main cultural values can be studied in the second chapter. The first one is the resurrection of the spirit and the language and culture of ancient mythology. The second one is escaping from the reality with the anti-modern tendency and

16、 criticizing the war in industrial technology and the destruction of nature and human nature. The third one is the expression of the Christian redemption of original sin, Sin Salvation belief and the pursuit of good. The last one is to praise heroism of ordinary people. Those ideas all aim to meet a

17、udiences spiritual need for a better illusion. In chapter three, there are reasons why the magic movies as the Lord of the Rings become so popular around the world. In addition, meeting the needs of the public mind, the demand for anti-modern and application of the maturity of digital are also key e

18、lements to the success of magic movies. In the last chapter, the reader may know that American magic film in the 21st century has its development period of great prosperity. The desire of the human imagination will never pass, and magic films are to meet the human development of civilization and the

19、 ancient mystery of the curiosity and worship. I believe that magic movies will be still quite a long glorious to continue.2 Culture Interpretation of the Lord of the Rings As the Lord of the Rings at the beginning said, history became legend, legend became myth. The story of the film should be plac

20、ed in any certain historical context, even the magic movies, also in the context of a particular region or area. Lord of the Rings is on Western culture context, which is based on the historical background and selected from the legendary events, the reformed legend has developed into an unattainable

21、 myth, and finally magic movies come into being.2.1 Culture Roots $ 300,000,000 of investment, nearly ten thousand people involved in the production, representing the props, which lasted 3 years of shooting history, Lord of the Rings trilogy is a masterpiece of Hollywood. This is a shocking movie to

22、 millions of people; it is adapted from the British writer Tolkiens original literary masterpiece, Lord of the Rings. It is a fantasy novel so much as it is a myth. And the other a character or a fictional event is different from a fictional world of Nakasu .The world is very real, detailed descript

23、ion of the map; every creature lives in their own geographical, and has their own history, culture and language, just like the Middle-earth is there which just has been forgotten. Tolkien believes that the life in Plains is the same as we live. In the Nordic mythology,the earth is the literal meanin

24、g of Midgard Nakasu. The reason why Tolkien uses myth is that he believes myth is the revelation of God, where people know the truth, but they can not see. Tolkien believes what he write is true. That is not to say these things have happened, but rather through which the creation of the myth of the

25、times can lead to God and the truth.2.1.1 Inspiration from MythLord of the Rings is not a fabricated myth; it is a certain cultural background. It is important from the European nation; Germans also had their own unique myths in history, once is widely populated in Europe. Analysis of the film from

26、several angles we can see, Lord of the Rings everywhere is filled with the shadow of Norse mythology. First, the Lord of the Rings in the Elf and Dwarf race is only in the Nordic mythology, the image appears. When Tolkien describes dwarves and elves, he follows the name of their ancient Nordic mytho

27、logy, Norse mythology and completely complies with their ancient description. Second, Tolkien designs a ring as the most powerful treasures the Lord of the Rings, which is consistent with the most powerful weapon in Norse mythology, Odin. In the eyes of Tolkien, myth is a real presence; he struggles

28、 to avoid a groundless fabrication. He devotes his life to the epic of ancient myths, from the collective fantasies of absorbing European nutrients, in order to enrich his own Nakasu world. Lord of the Rings is not only a manifestation of extraordinary imagination, but also the resurrection of Europ

29、es old myth.2.2 Escape from RealityBritish critic G. Grier defines the Lord of the Rings as the central feature of escape reality. Yet Tolkien thinks that reality that is a material and political progress, escape means the overall refusal of reality. Thus, in essence, Tolkien has anti-modern (Anti -

30、 modernization) of the literary trends. (Liweiwei 3)2.2.1 The Fear of Modern TechnologyWhen the Sarumans military with an ax and fire forest, old trees in the forest Ents outbreak unprecedented power. They wake up the whole forest, razed the Sarumans castle to the ground. If the Lord of the Rings re

31、presents the incredible material and technology, the evil ability of tampering with nature and killing each other, the movies purpose is to destroy it. In common with the Beat Generation in the twentieth century, industrial technology and the damage caused by the war, force Tolkien to escape reality

32、 as well as doubt, denial and resistance all unnatural things. Before the industrial age, Tolkien is full of warm memories. In his view, the twentieth century is in recession; People should return to the tradition, look for the original moral and living environment. But he also understands the power

33、 of modern is hard to resist, eventually the past tradition in the memory will die out as the fate of the British Empire. Lord of the Rings has a touch of sadness, after the destruction of the Rings, the most amazing things have left, and everything has gone, Middle-earth is going to be the indiffer

34、ent world ruled by human.2.2.2 The ecological theme of man and natureRegarded as the West Journey to the West, the Lord of the Rings is an epic fairy tale with strong ecological significance in the 20th century. It is a commercial film, while it is an authentic reflection of the United States, a mas

35、terpiece of humanism. In the Lord of the Rings, different races living in different environments are not only the embodiment of simple, but represent their own culture and history. The most obvious manifestation is that the trees in the forest directly involved in the war against Saruman. They have

36、their own thoughts and mind, history and race. They directly communicate with human and other races, and link to them. Through those closely connection, man and nature establish a free and harmonious relationship. No matter how successful in all areas, if the wisdom of science and technology eventua

37、lly substitute humanity and destroy the human living environment, it can only prove that the human essence is the most stupid animals. To overcome or inhibit the negative effects of science and technology, technological means are absolutely not enough; it needs human spirit and human reason to estab

38、lish a comprehensive philosophy of science and technology. Above all, from the ecological sense, the Lord of the Rings reflects a long-term conflict between man and nature in reality; meanwhile, it reminds audience to protect our environment.2.3 Reflection of ReligionIn the Lord of the Rings, the sp

39、irit collisions and the tangle of good and evil all reflect the deep religious meaning. The spiritual basis of the whole movie is a religious culture, understanding and salvation. The entire movie shows that heart is the key to salvation. 2.3.1 Religious characters in the Lord of the RingsGandalf an

40、d Frodo in the movie: the novel of Jesus. Gandalf, in Gandalfs mouth, his mission is also the same with Jesus.I have to declare: I am not any of the rulers of the Kingdom. Either posts more or other kingdoms, whether large or small. For my part, although many will suffer a fatal blow Kong, but my mi

41、ssion will not completely fail. As long as through the night, this land is still bright and sunny, full of vitality. It is my responsibility. (Tolkien J.R.R, The return of the king M. New York: Harper Collins Publisher1954：20.)The role of Jesus came into the world clearly is not the master of the wo

42、rld, but concerned about the development of the world, and made every effort to restore world order and goodness. Therefore, from the mission of speaking, Gandalf is the carrier of Jesus in the Middle-earth. Frodo is the sacrifice of a lamb, who burden with the evil Lord of the Rings world and exper

43、ience life and death until complete his mission to the west, it is similar to Jesus experience that undergo the crucifixion before go to heaven. As the Lord of the Rings of Sauron, it is carrying all the sins of Middle-earth, Frodo carries it, just like Jesus, who bears all the sins of mankind. The

44、identity of Jesus points to be born by the Gandalf and Frodo. Those reflect the writers personal understanding for the Christian and construct a perfect interpretation about the Bible. 2.3.2 Good and EvilWith a very strong religious metaphor, and the authors understanding of religion, good and evil,

45、 fall and redemption, crime and punishment, compassion for others and their own introspection, Lord of the Rings has a religious feeling of pity. At the end of the movie, Gollum followed Frodo, bent to kill him and took away Lord of the Rings. Frodo caught Gollum, but put down the sword, because he

46、said since I saw him, they inevitably have mercy on him. (Tolkien J.R.R, The return of the king M)As the belief of Christian, compassion is a salvation. Finally, Frodo was conquered by the inner desire, put on a Lord of the Rings. Gollum stole the ring and fell into the abyss together with the Lord

47、of the Rings. Gollum became redeemer dramatically, even though he had no intention to solvate. Evil ended with good, the outcome of mercy and salvation. Tolkien in general tend to be pessimism, however, the softest place in his heart still holds the hope of life. He wants to tell people that even if

48、 the world was disappointing, do not give up the pursuit of good.2.4 Heroism of American movieUnited States is a country of advocating hero. Americans love heroes, but also are short of heroes. Film is a national carrier of culture; the heroes in the movie are more likely to be worshiped as idol.2.4

49、.1 Individual HeroismIndividual heroism is an important part of American culture; they respect the individual existence and development as well as personal freedom. In fact, heroism is anxiety and fear from our own living environment, cultural ideas and from the unknown world and the crisis of survi

50、val; People would expect those extraordinary people can protect them in the dangerous moment. These people just do not exist in reality, so we need fiction to give a perfect image of comfort to our soul, and Americans reflect it in the Hollywood movies. So they create a positive and progressive Amer

51、ican hero. Audience loves the real, multi-faceted, and lively hero. This individual heroism is filled with fighting for freedom as the savior of the ideal of happiness, and also is the embodiment of American cultural values for human beings, democracy and social thinking.In Lord of the Rings, everyo

52、ne is hero; a hero is to save their own race, such as Aragon, Prince Wizard and Frodo. In this film, though Frodo is not a brave and fierce hero in a traditional concept, but he can carry the most weight on his shoulder, he is a typical image of ordinary people to save the world. 2.4.2 Heroisms of t

53、he Ordinary People：FrodoAn ordinary Hobbit (Hobbits are a fictional diminutive race who inhabit the lands of Middle-earth in J. R. R. Tolkiens legendarium)from a quiet village, Frodo, takes the mission of looking for the way even if the great man could not find, his fate is bound to be sinister. But

54、 he knew that it is my duty, no one can bear.”(Tolkien J.R.R, The return of the king M)Frodo as a hero embodies the tragic fate of a man and heroic struggle against the value and dignity. Frodo and his companions are inconspicuous hobbit who have been a quiet life, but suddenly, Lord of the Rings ch

55、ooses them, they must go off to fight as same as the other soldiers and start some more dangerous journey than they imagined, while they can not escape responsibility. They successfully proved themselves by those simple and valuable virtues: courage, courageous, fearless, friendship and love, all of

56、 those make them even stronger all the way. Finally, the ordinaries become heroes to make history. Lord of the Rings heroism touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of readers, its not about how heroes fight to defeat the enemy, but about why they fight for and why their friends lose their life.

57、Finally, the movie ends in an ordinary Hobby Sams home, the hero aura cleared, leaving only light, fire, dinner, his wife and daughter, which is the highlight of the story. After seeing the suffering in the film, people will know better how to value a quiet life.3 Reasons for the Booming of American

58、 Magic movies3.1 Satisfaction of the Public DemandWhen modern movies have been tirelessly talking about the dead, belief system collapse, cultural fragmentation and loss of meaning of life, Lord of the Rings in the fictional world provides us with a real lack of balance in life. Nakasu is full of lo

59、yalty and betrayal, courage and cowardice, good and evil, heroes experience a near escape for their desires; their friendship and love deeply move people. The middle-earth meets peoples great spiritual needs, which have been continuous progress in the materials heavy depression that almost lost in m

60、odern life. That is, people need to make sure the world is not just a mess of garbage; it has more good things. Fantasy can help adults to re-earth worthy of concern into a new world, Tolkien said, allows the reader to imagine the good things happy, raise their body Interest in side of things, so th

61、ey believe that the real world of hope has a happy ending, （Book of Century, rings and Tolkien）Perhaps that is the real magic that the Lord of the Rings attracts hundreds of millions of audience.3.2The Mature Application of DigitalFilm, as an art, its fundamental significance is that through the visual language to express ones views, feelings and positions. Lost the basic characteristics
