Plot:
"Dragon Knight" Life is immortal, but it cannot guard against internal divisions. In that generation, a 10-year-old boy named Gale Butrix passed the final test of the "Dragon Knight" and officially became one of them. Due to their unparalleled divine power, "Dragon Knights" are all arrogant and extremely confident. Galbatrox, who soon had his own dragon mount, went on a trip with his two friends, but was brutally surrounded and killed. The two friends were killed. At the end of the world, Gale Butrix managed to escape, but he lost forever his lifelong companion - Fei Long. After wandering in the wilderness for several months, his mind began to become increasingly confused, and he was finally found unconscious in the wild by a farmer... When he returned to the "Dragon Knight" base camp, it was like a different person.
The elders of the "Dragon Knight" felt that Galbatrix was not qualified to obtain another flying dragon. This decision eventually pushed him into the abyss of madness. He began to succumb to the dark power and stole it privately. A newly hatched little dragon also persuaded Mozan, the weakest among the "Dragon Knights", to join him, and the two began to instigate a revenge war against the "Dragon Knights". Later, 12 more "Dragon Knights" temporarily defected for various reasons. They formed the "13 Broken Contract Alliance" and brutally massacred the "Dragon Knights".
Galbatricus became the final winner. He proclaimed himself king and ruled the entire Kingdom of Alagaesia in a brutal way, with wars raging all year round. And our little protagonist Eragon lives in this turbulent country. Abandoned by his mother since he was a child, he lives with his uncle, making a living by farming and hunting every day. One day, he picked up a piece of blue light in the woods. stone, and since then, his destiny has undergone earth-shaking changes. What Eragon picked up was a dragon egg. The flying dragon will only hatch when it meets its true owner. When Eragon looked at the little blue dragon in surprise, he didn't know that he was destined to become a dragon. "Dragon Knight", the last member of a race that has disappeared for hundreds of years. The arrival of the little dragon brought disaster to the uncle who depended on Eragon, but it also attracted the help of the mentor Brom and the elf princess Aya. They formed a new alliance. Although the power was very weak, it was This country's only hope.
Behind the scenes:
Into the Garden of Eden
Who still remembers the Garden of Eden that they longed for in their childhood? In fact, we are all too eager to step out of the dream Garden of Eden, break the wings of imagination, and materialize it as quickly as possible. It turns out that innocence and childlikeness are the easiest complexes to fall into.
In 2003, if you were walking on the streets of Montana in the United States, you might see a boy in medieval clothes and riding boots holding a few books in his hands and selling them. You thought he was an employee of a bookstore. The students who come to do part-time jobs may be moved by the sincerity shining in his eyes. They casually pick up the book in his hand and read it. The cover of this book called "Dragon Knight" is very unique, the thick paper is very textured, and the price is reasonable. It's not expensive, so you pay for it. After going home and flipping through two pages, you suddenly realized that this was not the kind of junk book you thought at first. You couldn't put it down and read it in one night. Then you solemnly placed the book next to your son's pillow... At this point, you still can't As you can imagine, the boy dressed in medieval clothing is the author of this book.
Christopher Paolini is a child born in the 1980s. He was born in 1983 and has never been to school for a day. His parents are his teachers. His rebellious period was spent in the library. Although he did not receive a formal education from 9 to 5, it gave him more free time to expand his reading interests, and his favorite was fantasy related to dragons. Story... His hometown has a very high altitude "Beartooth Mountain" with steep terrain and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, like a paradise full of fantasy.
At the age of ten, other boys should be running wildly in the fields with their friends, but Paolini began to write some short stories and poems. For him, the most wonderful thing in the world was to put his own Ideas expressed perfectly in words. When he was 15 years old, he began to write his first novel "Dragon Rider", which he initially defined as the "Legacy Trilogy".
At the age of 15, life has just begun. Life experience and cultural accomplishment are still at a relatively elementary stage. However, the unconventional growth environment has shielded the arrogance that young people often carry nowadays. The genial spirit has preserved the Eden full of fantasy and innocence. It is easy to drift with the tide, but it is really difficult to return to nature. We can say that "Dragon Knight" combines elements from many of the most popular fantasy masterpieces nowadays, such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "The Chronicles of Narnia"... there are more "borrowing doctrines" It's as obvious as it is obvious, but isn't what people sometimes pursue just living an illusory life in an imaginary world?
The feeling of dying
When Christopher Paolini first constructed it, he did not expect that "Dragon Rider" would become such a massive epic story. Yes, maybe we The age of the author should not always be mentioned, but compared to famous writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling who achieved success after experiencing all the suffering and forbearance in the world, Paolini It's still a little too immature, but "Dragon Knight" created by him has already achieved a status that is on par with "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". Paolini spent three years constantly revising and re-editing the story. However, no publisher was interested in the nonsense and wild imagination of a child like him, so his parents chose to pay for it themselves. My son’s wish. It was only two years later that "Dragon Knight" became another piece of popular culture and was sought after by fans of fantasy themes.
Elves, dwarves, flying dragons, war horses...these names that were once full of fantasy have begun to become full of copper odor after experiencing the commercial abuse of Hollywood, but we still can't help but be attracted by them. Attraction, this is the charm of magical works. Don't think that this is for children to pretend to be drinking wine. When you consciously reject it, it is just a kind of subjective obsessive-compulsive disorder at work. The skeleton of "Dragon Rider" is based on the mythology of ancient Norway, and it also has its own unique and profound historical background: the noble elves came to this land across the ocean, and met the people who had been living here for thousands of years. The flying dragon clan. The arrogant elves regarded flying dragons as ordinary creatures like the world. The conflict broke out when a young elf shot a flying dragon, triggering crazy revenge from the dragon clan. They killed the young elf, and the war was peaceful in this land. Fighting broke out on the land, and for five years, the heaven and earth were dyed red with blood.
Until later, a young elf named Eragon, who has the same name as the protagonist in the film, picked up a dragon egg. After it hatched, they became best friends, and then they lived together separately. Lobbying among individual groups finally stopped this meaningless battle. In order to ensure that this kind of tragedy would never happen again, the "Dragon Knight" system came into being - the so-called "Dragon Knight" is actually an elf riding a dragon. Therefore, they have immortal life, and their bodies can only be destroyed with sharp blades and poisons. The power of each "Dragon Knight" is equivalent to the combined power of 10 mortals. At the same time, they also know the use of the highest magic, Because they are born nobler than other races, "Dragon Knights" understand better that everything in the world is regardless of high or low. They protect all living things in the land, including humans. Other elves who are not "Dragon Knights" live in seclusion in the depths of the dense forest. Live a life of peace and quiet.
The "trilogy" is not a form, but a specification
There is no rule without rules. Although the "trilogy" has become the initiator of kitsch, here, it is more like a Good wishes.
The young and successful Christopher Paolini is no longer the little boy who needs to sell his works at the door of bookstores. Since "Dragon Rider" became popular, his idea of ??"Hereditary Trilogy" has long been transformed into money printing in the eyes of booksellers. Machines and fans’ hopes. The second part of the "Hereditary Trilogy", "Eldest", was published last year. In this episode, Eragon and Aya came to the hometown of the elves, where he met his second mentor...
It seems too early to tell whether this story will end when the third novel is published, but 20th Century Fox has bought all the film adaptations of the "Hereditary Trilogy" Copyright, so whether it ends or not, Eragon will ride his dragon on the big screen at least three times. As for the actor who plays Eragon in the three episodes, he will be the lucky one Edward Speleers who was selected from 180,000 candidates.
When it comes to fantasy themes, comparisons with "The Lord of the Rings" are unavoidable. I'm sorry to tell you that you may not see much change from "Dragon Knight", and in the film There will also be a digital character - a blue flying dragon. Combining the brainpower created by Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Studios might prove to be first-time director Stefen Fangmeier's wisest choice, Yoda meets Gollum... and we might even be able to It is imagined that the flying dragon, as the last member of the dragon family, will have more detailed expressions and smarter brains than humans. For this type of film, the special effects stop there and nothing else.
Highlights:
·The elf princess Aya in the original work is stunningly beautiful, with long black curly hair and eyes as black as night. In the film, Aya is not only blond and blue-eyed, but also has a very androgynous personality.
·Elijah Wood was once 20th Century Fox's most promising candidate for Eragon. Unfortunately, Wood himself firmly rejected this magical theme. The name of Alex Pettyfer, a young actor in "Storm Raiders", also appeared on the list, but according to him, part of the reason why he voluntarily withdrew from the race was because the film would be shot in Hungary... …And what he fears most in his life is flying.
·Many films of the same type have proven how important it is to use a powerful actor to appear... Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart ) were both candidates for director Brom, but unfortunately the two "eloped" together because of "X-Men 3".
·Christopher Paolini, the author of the original novel, is different from his peers in many ways. Even the music he likes is so alternative - classical music is the inspiration for his creation. "Dragon Rider", he had been listening to Beethoven's works, and when describing the final battle, he listened to "Carmina Burana".
·The language of the elves in the novel is Old Norse. As for the language of the dwarfs and the Egu people, it was invented by the author Paolini himself.
Wonderful dialogue:
Brom: Our beautiful lands have been ravaged by a ruthless king. And our people live under the shadow of tyranny. It wasn′t always like that. There was a time when our people lived in peace.
