英文导读

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a 2001 epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson based on the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (1954–1955). It was followed by The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003), based on the second and third volumes of The Lord of the Rings.

New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson fulfills his lifelong dream of transforming author J.R.R. Tolkien's best-selling fantasy epic into a three-part motion picture that begins with this holiday 2001 release. Elijah Wood stars as Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit resident of the medieval "Middle-earth" who discovers that a ring bequeathed to him by beloved relative and benefactor Bilbo (Ian Holm) is in fact the "One Ring", a device that will allow its master to manipulate dark powers and enslave the world. Frodo is charged by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to return the ring to Mount Doom, the evil site where it was forged millennia ago and the only place where it can be destroyed. Accompanying Frodo is a fellowship of eight others: his Hobbit friends Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monaghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); plus Gandalf; the human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); Elf archer Legolas (Orlando Bloom); and Dwarf soldier Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). The band's odyssey to the dreaded land of Mordor, where Mount Doom lies, takes them through the Elfish domain of Rivendell and the forest of Lothlorien, where they receive aid and comfort from the Elf princess Arwen (Liv Tyler), her father, Elrond (Hugo Weaving), and Queen Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). In pursuit of the travelers and their ring are Saruman (Christopher Lee)—a traitorous wizard and kin, of sorts, to Gandalf—and the Dark Riders, under the control of the evil, mysterious Sauron (Sala Baker). The Fellowship must also do battle with a troll, flying spies, Orcs, and other deadly obstacles both natural and otherwise as they draw closer to Mordor. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was filmed in Jackson's native New Zealand.

Released on 10 December 2001, the film was highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike, especially as many of the latter judged it to be the most sufficiently faithful adaptation of the original story out of Jackson's film series. It was a major box office success, earning over $870 million worldwide, and the second highest-grossing film of 2001 in the U.S. and worldwide (behind Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) which made it the fifth highest-grossing film ever at the time.

In 2002, the film won four Academy Awards out of thirteen nominations. The winning categories were for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Original Score. Despite its praise by fans, the other nominated categories of Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Ian McKellen), Best Art Direction, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Original Song (Enya, Nicky Ryan and Roma Ryan for "May It Be"), Best Picture, Best Sound (Christopher Boyes, Michael Semanick, Gethin Creagh and Hammond Peek), Costume Design and Best Adapted Screenplay were not won.

剧情简介

比尔博·巴金斯是一位100多岁的哈比人，住在夏尔，喜欢冒险。年轻时的一次探险经历中，他意外地从怪物咕噜手中得到了一枚戒指，这枚戒指是黑暗魔君索伦打造的至尊魔戒，拥有奴役世界的邪恶力量，能够统领其他几枚力量之戒。在3000年前的人类联盟与半兽人大军的战役中，联盟取得了胜利，并得到了至尊魔戒，数千年的辗转后，魔戒落到咕噜手中。

虽然和魔戒朝夕相处，但他仍然和几十年前捡到魔戒时一样没有丝毫变化，不过哈比族人与世无争的天性使他对纷纷扰扰的世事早已厌倦。在他111岁的生日宴会上，他决定把一切都留给侄子佛罗多（伊利亚·伍德　饰），自己将去找个清静的地方完成自己的自传。

比尔博的好朋友灰袍巫师甘道夫（伊恩·麦凯伦　饰）在研究很多书籍之后，知道至尊魔戒的秘密，也知道它拥有邪恶的力量。同时，黑暗魔君索伦已经知道他的魔戒落在哈比族的手中。索伦正在重新建造要塞巴拉多，集结无数的半兽人，准备夺取魔戒，并且征服全世界。

甘道夫把魔戒的秘密告诉了佛罗多，并说服佛罗多将魔戒护送到精灵王国瑞文希尔，佛罗多在好朋友山姆、皮平和梅利的陪同下，在跃马旅店得到了刚铎王子阿拉贡的帮助，历经千辛万苦，终于到达了精灵王国。

然而，精灵族并不愿意保管这个邪恶的至尊魔戒，中土各国代表开会讨论，达成意见，准备将至尊魔戒送到末日山脉的烈焰中彻底销毁。佛罗多挺身而出接受了这个任务，这次，陪伴他的除了三个好朋友，还有甘道夫、阿拉贡、精灵莱戈拉斯（奥兰多·布鲁姆　饰）、人类博罗米尔、侏儒金利。

一路上，魔戒远征军除了要逃避索伦爪牙黑骑士和半兽人的追杀之外，还要抵抗至尊魔界本身的邪恶诱惑，任务困难重重。

制作花絮

维戈·莫特森在拍摄打戏时把一颗牙打掉了。他中午去补上了牙，下午又回来继续工作了。

维戈·莫特森坚持不用替身，并且在打斗场面中使用真的铁剑。奥兰多·布鲁姆大部分特技镜头也是自己完成的，在拍摄期间还断了一条肋骨。

在影片开拍前，新西兰一个毛利部落的长老为摄制组举行了宗教仪式，祝福拍摄工作顺利完成。

影片拍摄中涉及到战争场面时，导演本想从新西兰军队征用15000名群众演员，没想到当时士兵们都被派到东帝汶平息当地的内战去了。导演只好到处张贴广告，招募会骑马的年轻人充当临时演员。

由于片中许多演员都要穿戴盔甲，制作盔甲和相关服饰成了一个棘手的任务。幸亏惠灵顿一个编制俱乐部的老大妈们帮忙缝制盔甲内的罩衫，才替剧组解了围。

奥兰多·布鲁姆花了2个月来学习射箭。
