The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is being released Chinese mainland, which was originally an epic classic magic blockbuster in the history of world cinema, but after this re-screening, it has encountered many one-star bad reviews, and the reason why most viewers give bad reviews is that the film is too long.
Each of the Lords of the Rings trilogy has an average duration of more than 3 hours, and this is still the theatrical version, and if it is an extended version, the average length is about 4 hours.
If you watch the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy all the time, it will take 11 hours and 26 minutes more, which is nearly half a day. Therefore, if this movie wants to be released in theaters, it must be played in segments, which can not only control the audience's viewing time limit, but also earn more box office.
There is a saying called "the forest is big, there are birds", the world is so big that anything can happen, so the total length of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy adds up, compared with the real longest movies in the world, that is, the plot of one episode.
Cinema movies generally should not be too long, and no one will sit there motionless for half a day or even longer, but there are always some people who want to challenge the limits of human beings.
There are many films that are screened in the cinema, and one is more than half a day long.
In 2004, a Filipino film, The Evolution of a Filipino Family, was released, which lasted 643 minutes (more than 10 hours).
One of the world's longest-running theatrical films is now recognized as an Indian film, Innocent, which lasts 21 hours and 5 minutes, nearly a day.
There is an audience that can hold on to such a film, but it is real.
The length of those experimental films outside of theatrical films really makes people start to doubt life, which is simply a serial drama, and the plot is still boring.
Currently recognized as the world's longest film, Sweden's Logistics, which debuted in 2012, lasted 51,420 minutes (35 days and 17 hours), more than a month.
Some viewers have commented on this film, saying, "If I can watch this film in its entirety in this life, then I am really idle." It is true that you can watch such a long movie, how idle you should be.
Logistics is a documentary that captures the entire process of a pedometer from production to delivery to customers.
Before Logistics, one of the world's most recognized films was Modern Civilization Never Dies, which aired in 2011, which lasted 240 hours (10 days).
The film was screened from March 24 to April 2 of a certain year, and only once.
Although these two films have a long time, they have not won the Guinness World Records, and the total length of the longest time films recognized by the Guinness World Records is not as good as the above two films.
In 1987, there was a film in the United States to treat insomnia, "The Antidote to Insomnia", which lasted 5220 minutes (87 hours). Compared to Logistics, the film is a little witch, not even a fraction of it, but it is the only longest film in the world recognized by Guinness.
"The Antidote to Insomnia" also has a score on the Douban network, and more than 200 people gave a good score of 7.4.
The film is a film without a plot, where a person reads poetry aloud, occasionally interspersed with some erotic fragments, which really helps sleep.
There are many more long films in the world, such as Claude Longsman's documentary "The Holocaust" (566 minutes); Julius Evans' Chinese documentary "Yugong Moving Mountain" (763 minutes); and the Soviet film "War and Peace" (511 minutes) and so on, which is a very classic film, with a Douban score of 9.2 points.
I don't know who has the patience to watch one of the films in one breath, presumably none of the current audience can stick to it.
