When watching the film we shift from watching traces of the actor themselves to scenes or moments where they are replaced by their own marionette. There is an element of thrilled ambition in all this, but also of usurpation, and of a radical debunking of art as such—reduced to memes, discourse, generic properties, reproducible tropes and techniques. Elsewhere, there have been other radical attempts to displace the human actor from film. Sayonara , a film by Koji Fukada, has cast an android as the lead actor in a movie.
Geminoid f has her own its own? The creation of the roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro, Geminoid f is already a performance, a replication of a human being, framed in imitation.
Ishiguro has stated that his aim is to understand what a human is. The thought that it is all done by machine, and hence is purely unreal, is a beguiling but misguided one.
The computer work that makes those digital doubles, those virtual people is truly a craft, the painstaking work of skilled and diligent artificers. Moreover, as Serkis consistently shows, the possibility enshrined in motion-capture is dazzling. This includes the possibility of a genuine transgenderism, where we might, on-screen, if not in truth, live through another body, albeit a virtual one. In this regard, in the recent Planet of the Apes films, it is particularly pertinent that Karin Konoval plays the male orang-utan Maurice, and does so in such a way that no one considers for a moment the gender of the human actor embodied in this sage and reflective character.
As a lifelong Tolkien fan, I was skeptical of any movie adaptation and, as it turned out, rightly so. The films give us a celebration of the natural in a technological package, and its oases are those brief instances where the personal finds its breathing space, where conversations happen, where kindness is given and taken.
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films provide a cinematic sublime, while conveying little of the humane. It is not Middle Earth that is the center of the film, it is not the individual, it is New Zealand, a real place. The landscapes of his films are undoubtedly beautiful, but the way they are shot minimizes the person.
It's also in part to celebrate the release of a 4K remastering of all three films, which was overseen by Jackson himself.

Celia Fernandez. Gollum followed through with his plan and led Frodo and Sam into Torech Ungol. Just as Frodo warned him, Gollum's betrayal of his oath ultimately led to his undoing, for Frodo and Sam escaped from her lair and also Cirith Ungol.
They came against all odds to the fiery volcano Mount Doom. Gollum followed them all the way, seeking a chance to surprise them and take the Ring. When Frodo and Sam had almost reached their destination, he attacked, but failed to get the Ring. Sam, who had hated Gollum on sight, tried to bring himself to kill him, but he relented out of sheer pity and disgust, turning his back on the beaten but still wily creature.
Moments later, Frodo was standing on the edge of the Crack of Doom , but, unable to destroy the Ring, claimed it for himself and put it on.
Then Gollum attacked the hobbits again. Gollum knocked out Sam with a rock whilst Frodo was invisible. But Gollum was able to track his footprints and jumped on Frodo.
The two fought and finally Gollum bit off Frodo's finger with the ring on it. Here Bilbo's long-ago kindness in sparing Gollum's life was rewarded, for Gollum then teetered on the edge of the great pit, overjoyed with finally reclaiming his "precious", then lost his balance and fell in, taking the Ring and finger with him along with a final cry of " Precious!
The ring was burned in the molten lava and Gollum consumed with it. Had Gollum not lived to play this final part, there was a good chance that Sauron would have regained his Ring, as he knew where Frodo was as soon as he put it on. Years after Gollum's death, Frodo would forgive him, as Gandalf had told Frodo that Gollum was not actually an evil being deserving death, but was actually a pitiful being, bound to the Ring's will, and that Frodo's fate would be like Gollum's if he kept the Ring.
Ironically the one being who suffered the most from the One Ring was the one who managed to destroy it in the end. In the first edition of The Hobbit , Tolkien made no reference to his size, leading several illustrators to portray him as being very large. Tolkien realized the omission, and clarified in later editions that he was of average hobbit size and in "The Lord of the Rings", there is a reference to Sam being "little less in height" than he is. Tolkien describes Gollum as either dark, bone-white or sallow pale yellow : at one point, the Rangers of Ithilien mistake his silhouette seen from a distance for a tailless black squirrel.
Gorbag and Shagrat describe him as a dark fellow. In a manuscript written to guide illustrators to the appearance of his characters, Tolkien explained this by saying that Gollum had pale skin, but wore dark clothes and was often seen in poor light. The Hobbit states he has pockets, in which he keeps a tooth sharpening rock, goblin teeth, wet shells, and a scrap of bat wing. Despite these details, he is generally depicted wearing a loincloth or naked in illustrations and adaptations.
Gollum fishing in the Forbidden Pool in Ithilien. Gollum was a good survivor and was very keen eyed and quick of hand this made him an excellent fisherman. He could spot and catch fish in almost any level of light and waters.
He fished the waters of the Misty Mountain's underground lake for centuries in almost complete darkness and almost anywhere he had to after leaving his cave in search of the Ring and the "thief" Baggins.
