Zhang is the ultimate fine steel fan of Warcraft. Since the chaos in 2002, the incomparably powerful ip of Warcraft has been deeply embedded in my soul. He is the ashes player of World of Warcraft who went to the battlefield in the early morning of April 26th, 2004. He has played in warcraft 3, Frozen Throne, World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3c, True Three of Warcraft, dota and other series of games. In the world of Warcraft, I have invested too much love and hate, and I have feelings that I can't give up all my life. Although I have a family and children now, I am busy with various games and have little time to play. However, as a loyal player of 14, at the age of 33, I enjoyed this movie with great reverence. The plot, special effects and characterization of big movies are very good. The scene is a little small on the whole, but I was really shocked a few minutes before imax. Gourdain's sacrifice opened the door to darkness, and with the super effect of imax, this scene was extremely magnificent. Of course, it is not enough for the management to maintain such a grand scene, or it is necessary to introduce various relationships with the development of the plot.

Director duncan jones drew the plot to the first far-reaching orc war, which is estimated to be the ultimate concept of Warcraft in a hurry to shoot 200 episodes. In fact, what the whole movie can show in two hours is really too short for such a magnificent history of Warcraft. Just like a movie can't show the history of mankind from the origin to the end of World War II, it can only depict one of the wars at best. Moreover, there are more than family, friendship and love in Warcraft. World of Warcraft is a huge world outlook, outlook on life and value system, and all kinds of magic theories, settings and magic are endless and perfect. In this world, all lovers will be well, and they will not survive because they insist on so-called justice. Looking at the history of Warcraft, we should look at the historical responsibility played and shouldered by each role from the perspective of a macro creator. When you are emotional, you should feel empathy, and when you are rational, you should be calm.

If you have a little knowledge of movies and are an avid fan, this issue will be analyzed by Lao Tie from the small scope of the Warcraft movie version.

Because the history of Warcraft is too grand, we will say three aspects.

Let's take a brief look at the historical background of Warcraft in the film.

Second, introduce the story background of both sides of the war.

Third, finally, introduce the key characters in the film.

First, the historical background of Warcraft movies

The background of the film is the first orc war, so why did the orcs launch a cross-time war against mankind? The film admits that their home star Delano can't stay any longer, so why can't Delano stay any longer? Leave a foreshadowing here. With this question, let's start from the beginning.

In the world view of World of Warcraft, the role of creator is played by a group of higher creatures called Titan. Their base camp is called the Pantheon. Titan has noble bronze skin, huge figure, and super fighting power and wisdom. They look for suitable planets in the universe, spread life and maintain order, just like the patron saint of all things. In the film, Azeroth, the hometown of human beings, and Delano, the hometown of orcs, are actually the creations of Titan.

Titan creation set in World of Warcraft is an item made by the creator Titan. Creatures, flowers and some planets are all created by Titan.

Because today we are only discussing from the small scope of the film, what you need to know is that

About 25,000 years ago, a Titan called "the strongest warrior of the Pantheon" gradually became suspicious of Titan's plan to create a perfect and orderly universe after years of struggle with the dark forces. As for how to doubt, let's talk about the history of Warcraft in the future. After all, Sargeras is a titan of war and a front-line commander, who knows the essence and reality of war best. He has cooperated with all kinds of demons for tens of thousands of years! Over the years, slowly, he felt that the universe itself has irreparable defects, so the state of absolute order is impossible to achieve. Chaos is the essence of the universe. This central idea is certain. The fallen Titan did as he said, and decided to assemble an army to eliminate their previous "mistakes" by destroying all lives. Complete revolution, start over! For die-hard fans, everyone knows that this is the law of chaos, and this army is the "Burning Legion". Personally, I think Sargeras is constantly exploring and revising his three views in endless battles. If we have to comment from a humanitarian point of view and think that he killed cruelly, it is indeed depravity. But from a philosophical point of view, I think he is a creator with strong fighting capacity and loving thinking, and a practitioner and thinker who verifies the theoretical scientific methodology with practical actions.

Anyway, this fallen army of Sargeras is composed of demons full of evil energy. Many planets were razed to the ground under the devastating offensive of the Burning Legion. On one occasion, Sargeras turned his attention to a planet called argus, where a group of primitive higher races, Ereda, who had a natural connection with magic, lived. Sargeras lured the three leaders of Ereda into darkness with his endless strength and power. Among them, Archimonde and Kilgadan responded to his call, while the prophet Willem led some people to escape from the clutches of the Burning Legion with vigilance. They escaped by spaceship and finally hid in the orc's home planet Delano. At this time, Kilgardan, a former comrade-in-arms who has become a demon, was furious with Veyron's behavior and vowed to find these traitors and catch them all.

This is the simple background of World of Warcraft in Warcraft movies.

Second, the historical background of both sides of the war.

Next, let's take a look at the orc home planet Delano.

Orcs are primitive species on Delano. They are powerful and live together in the form of clans and tribes. Their technological level is not high, and they think that fighting can solve all problems. Although militant, it can't be said to be cruel. They believe in shamanism, which can manipulate elements, and take the souls of their ancestors as their spiritual leaders.

When Villen and his people landed in Delano, Villen renamed his people Delaney (meaning exiled people), and they established the temporary capital Shatas. They deliberately kept their distance from the orcs and did not interfere with each other, so that they lived in peace for many years.

You see, at the beginning of the film, all the prisoners in the cage used for sacrifice are Delaney. Why are Delaney people cruelly sacrificed by orcs?

This is because their peace was broken many years ago. It was broken because the second-in-command of the Burning Legion, the old friend and current enemy of Veyron, Your Excellency Kilgardan traced the whereabouts of Veyron. Kilgardan, this guy knows something about the history of Warcraft. It's very powerful, very yellow and violent! Found vinylon, you have to kill it!

Kiel Jia Dan rarely acts rashly. He didn't want to startle him, so he used one of the 360 schemes that we China people are most familiar with.

There is a Warcraft setting here, which is the high-end boss, especially the mage-type metropolis. In Warcraft, it's soul transfer. If you have nothing to do, let your soul go out for a walk. Confuse others, attach someone or something.

Here Kilgardan became the soul of the ancestors of the orcs, dreaming to Naizu, the most famous shaman priest among the orcs, saying that I am your ancestor Nai, and this Delaney is not a good thing. Look at the way they are now honest and dutiful. I have visited them. They are actually a potential threat, growing slowly and waiting for an opportunity to bite us in the future. If we don't destroy them now, the orcs will perish. ...

Nero Zu was frightened, and his ancestors dreamed that it was built. Convinced of the illusion created by Kilgardan, he immediately United all the tribes of the orcs and lobbied them to attack these aliens from a distance.

Two orcs in the tribe questioned Naiozu's point of view. They are Dulong Tan, the leader of Frost Wolf Tribe, and the representative of Blackstone Tribe, the Hammer of Destruction. When they were young, they were saved by Delaney people and had the honor to visit their capital, Shatas. Delaney's wisdom and tolerance make them feel that Naiozu's words must be biased.

But for the orcs who believe in shamanism, everything must be followed by the souls of their ancestors. Soon, the orc army, which can recruit good fighters, beat Delaney to pieces in lightning speed. After all, there are many wizards and shamans with rough skin. However, with the successive victories of the orcs, Ner 'ozu felt something was wrong. After fighting for so long, he has never seen the "soul of the ancestor" that warned him that day, because the old man in Kilgardan is also very busy, and you are not the only planet in the universe. The soul will always come out and float, which is no joke. Moreover, when Naio tried to communicate with the elements, he also found that the orcs no longer responded to his call because of their outrageous behavior. Nerazu realized that he might have been cheated. Although Kilgardan used the devil's blood contract and authority to treat Nero Zu both hard and soft, Nero Zu refused to do as he said. Kilgardan always thinks this guy is not very useful. In fact, Naiozu is an extremely complicated figure. At this moment, when Nai Aozu hesitated, his apprentice Gourdain stood out. It is our ambitious Daniel Wu, played by Daniel Wu, who directly swore allegiance to the Burning Legion and revealed to Kiel Jia Dan that Nai Aozu was about to "rebel against the revolution". As soon as Kilgardan saw that Gourdain was a great talent, he let him drink the blood of the devil, endowed him with endless knowledge and strength, and made him replace Naiozu as the new agent of the Burning Legion. But because of this evil force, his skin turned terrible green and his appearance became even uglier. He became the first warlock in the history of orcs to use black magic and summon demons to serve him. Ugly and fierce!

The appearance of Gourdain can be said to light a bright light for shamans abandoned by elements. They are just vegetable chickens that can't control the elements. They are very weak on the orc planet and have no power to mix, so they give up their faith and study the dark magic of warlocks instead. Although durotan was aware of the conspiracy behind this, he still couldn't stop his people from falling.

In order to enslave the orcs better, Gourdain also lured them to drink the demon's blood like himself-the orcs who drank the blood became stronger, but also became more violent and aggressive. Their skin is polluted by evil energy, from brown to morbid green, and their eyes turn red. You see some orcs in the movie are green, those who drink the blood of the devil are endowed with evil energy, and the brown ones are normal orc skin color. For example, durotan is brown. You see durotan's son died at birth, and then Gourdain saved him with the life of a deer with evil energy, so this child will be tortured by evil energy in the future. This is another story. A child is the chief of Salda, one of the greatest chiefs of the orcs.

Looking back, these green bloodthirsty orcs with evil power seem to have gained the power they dreamed of, but in fact they have completely become slaves of the Burning Legion. Unfortunately, only a few orcs were not bewitched by Gourdain's myths, including Dulongtan and Hammer of Destruction.

Although this evil warlock has long regarded durotan and others as a thorn in his side, he still needs to rely on the strength of their clan to win the war. With the blessing of the blood of the devil, the furious orc army quickly breached the city of Shatas and carried out all kinds of inhuman atrocities against Delaney in the city. Just like people on earth now, they rob money, food and women. Among them, Garona, the orc, was born in this situation, because her mother was raped by the orcs, and as an assassin, she will also play a key role in the movie "Warcraft".

In the end, at the behest of Kilgardan, the orc tribe successfully killed the vast majority of Delaney people. What Gourdain never expected was that due to the influence of evil energy, Delano's land began to rot and deteriorate. Orcs have less and less food, and even more orcs die from famine and disease than from war. Seeing that the orcs would starve to death on this dying planet, Gourdain began to panic. ...

This is the end of the introduction of orcs. Let's look back at the human beings in another world-Azeroth.

Pay attention to the settings of Warcraft here. The human beings in Azeroth are not what you think, but just copy the human model in behavior. Humans in World of Warcraft are actually Viku people. After being cursed by flesh and blood, some new races with more drastic variation and smaller bodies were born. In the future history of Warcraft, we will talk about Viku people in detail, such as the curse of flesh and blood! Moreover, human beings are regarded as the weak of deformed variants by Iku people. They are small and weak. At that time, King Imillon ordered the slaughter of these deformed and weak offspring. However, a group of Uku parents, unwilling to abandon their children, took their children away from their hometown and finally avoided extinction.

Turn your head. The fallen Titan Sargeras mentioned before that his Burning Legion had easily conquered one world after another for many years, but it also met the nail house that could not be pulled out-that is, the planet Azeroth. Because this Azeroth is too complicated! It's not just an imaginary little planet. The future history of Warcraft is about to be revealed, and Azeroth is the spirit of the world.

As early as 10 thousand years ago, Sargeras wanted to come directly to this planet through the portal. The portal is maintained by a lot of energy, and a boss like Sargeras needs endless energy to transmit it. This transmission plan was defeated by the night elves and other races. The energy generated by the portal explosion directly split the Azeroth continent into four independent continents.

After 10,000 years of recuperation, Sargeras finally came to Northrend in the northern part of Azeroth at the expense of weakening his own strength. As a result, he met Ai Govin, the strongest mage of mankind who came to investigate. Sargeras has a plan. After dealing with her, he deliberately sold a flaw and pretended to lose. In fact, he is lurking in the body of Al Govin, waiting for his chance.

Later, Egovin seduced Nielas Aran, the royal wizard of Azeroth, and gave birth to Medivh, known as the "last guardian". Medivh is the key human exorcist in the film. Sargeras took the opportunity to sneak into the young Medivh, and as he grew older and stronger, his consciousness became more and more sober.

Ryan, the king of Stormwind, and Lothar, the general, perceived the strangeness of his childhood friend Medivh, so they entrusted Dalaran to send a young mage named Khadga as his apprentice to spy on his secrets. Khadga was surprised to find that Medivh's personality was very repetitive. At ordinary times, he is like a wise saint, who dedicates everything he has learned in his life. But occasionally he seems to be a different person, unreasonable and irritable. This is actually the expression of Sargeras' control of Medivh's thought. So the black hand behind Medivh in the movie is actually the strongest boss Sargeras in the world!

Finally, Medivh, dominated by this evil Titan, took the initiative to get in touch with Gourdain of Delano. He told Gourdain that the land of Azeroth is full of endless water and food, and only a simple portal is needed to defeat those fragile humans and let this rich land be in charge-Sargeras' wishful thinking has been cracked: I will give the orcs what the Legion can't. He also said to Gourdain: "Come here, there is a mysterious tomb of Sargeras, where you can gain great power." .

This Goolden stamped his foot happily. Now in Delano, life is very difficult, crops are no longer planted on the land, and there are various diseases. If you come to Azeroth, you will not only solve the problem of survival, but also gain the strongest power in the universe. Can you hesitate? Too dry! So, with the help of Medivh, the orcs of Delano set up the dark gate and opened the passage to Azeroth. These two originally parallel worlds are therefore linked together. ...

The astute Khadga has noticed the difference of tutors and reported to Stormwind. However, they are still a little late, and hordes of orcs have swarmed out of the dark gate.

What should we do when mankind faces these powerful enemies corroded by the blood of the devil? The war thus spread to Azeroth.

The first orc war broke out.

Three. An important person in this film

Goolden: Goolden is not Kiel Jia Dan's first choice. Before him, there was his mentor, the orc shaman Naozu. Only then Ner 'Zu realized that what he had done would bring misfortune to all orcs and clans, so he stopped listening to Kiel Jia Dan's lies. Nai Aozu's story is also quite wonderful. He is an extremely cruel, powerful, complex and important character, because he is the famous Lich King in the future.

At that time, Gourdain, as a young shaman graduate student, had completed all shaman studies under the guidance of Nai Aozu, and developed in an all-round way. Kil 'jaeden immediately abandoned Naiozu and granted spells to Goolden warlocks. As a result, he became the first warlock in the history of orcs. With the help of powerful forces, he also became the chief of the storm plundering clan, and recruited all trusted orc warlocks to set up a secret organization, the Shadow Council. Garona is an assassin in the shadow parliament.

Medivh: Medivh is a key figure and the last guardian of mankind. His mother, Magna Ai Gewen, is the penultimate guardian of Tirisfa's old order (the penultimate guardian is Medivh, of course) and the most powerful one. Tirisfa order is the organization in which several old men float in the movie, and it is called the guardian of mankind. After 500 years in Egovin, the fallen Titan Sargeras himself came to Azeroth. As the strongest guardian in history, the proud Ai Govin challenged Sargeras.

Sure enough, she killed Sargeras' body (note the body). Then she took Sargeras' body to a mysterious relic and sealed it, which is the tomb of Sargeras to be announced in the World of Warcraft 7.0 expansion.

Later, the Knights of Tirisfa thought that Al Govin had lived too long. If one day he dies suddenly, the guardian's legacy will be gone. So he decided that Ai Gewen was no longer fit to be a guardian and asked her to inherit the throne, just like the ancient princes forced the emperor to abdicate. Ai Govin finally agreed to hand over power to the next guardian, but she said that this candidate could not be decided by the parliament, but must be chosen by herself, hoping that the guardian could completely get rid of the control of the parliament.

She wants to pass on the position of guardian to her children, just like hereditary system. But she has lived for hundreds of years and has been fighting the demons who invaded Azeroth. She has no time to fall in love. Where can she find the right man? So she did something particularly out of line. Aegwen took a fancy to Nielas Aran, the royal magician of Azeroth, and then quickly seduced and gave birth to a child with Elam, thus achieving the purpose of pregnancy.

This pregnancy broke down. Didn't you say that Al Govin just killed Sargeras' body? Think about it, too. Sargeras is the god of creation. How could he be killed by a "little girl" for hundreds of years? The soul of Sargeras sneaked into Al Govin's body at the moment of his death. When Ai Govin is pregnant, she can have the child-this is Medivh.

When Medivh was a child, his relationship with Prince Anduin Lothar and Prince Ryan Walling was so good that he almost wore only a pair of trousers. However, on the day when Medivh came of age, Sargeras pinched his fingers and counted, "Okay, it's my turn." So the evil energy in Medivh began to explode. Elam was exhausted to save Medivh, and actually killed his father. Then Medivh fell asleep and woke up six years later. Only after waking up, Medivh's consciousness has been completely dominated by Sargeras.

After all, he inherited the excellent genes of Egovin and Elam, and Medivh was not completely defeated by Sargeras. He went to Karazhan alone, borrowed the magic energy left over there and began to study magic and witchcraft, and fought with Sargeras for control of his body for a long time.

Medivh can also move the soul solution and other spells, so come on a spiritual journey if you have nothing to do. During a spiritual journey, Medivh contacted Gourdain who was drugged by Kilgadan, and Sargeras told Gourdain about the existence of the tomb of Sargeras through Medivh. "There is the ultimate energy of Sargeras in the grave." In fact, all this was planned by Mr. Sargasso!

Egovin, as a guardian, did such a thing. Mother couldn't sit still, so she went to Karazan to convince Medivh. When he arrived in Karazhan, Al Govin was immediately stunned. "Medivh is not my son? How did he become Sargeras? " As a result of inheritance, Egovin's kung fu skills were also passed on to Medivh. I can't do anything now. Actually, there's nothing I can do if I don't pass it on Ai Govin is an old lady who sends messages to Khadga twice in the film.

Ai Govin had no choice but to transfer reinforcements to Stormwind. Coupled with Khadga's discovery, he told everyone about Medivh's plan.

Khadga: Khadga, nominally an apprentice of Medivh, claimed to have turned his back on Qilinto's magical organization, but in fact he was sent by Qilinto to monitor Medivh to explore the secrets of his guardian. Khadga was very young, but when he was fighting Medivh, he was transformed into an old man by Medivh, who could never recover. But in the film, Khadga recovered.

Garona: She was completely created by Gooden. While the orcs were still slaughtering Delaney, Gourdain caught a Delaney woman and forced her to mate with one of his orc soldiers, thus giving birth to an orc and Delaney baby, whose characteristics combined the characteristics of both parents. Garona is very loyal to Goolden. In fact, he is an emissary sent by Goolden to Karazhan to collect human magic and knowledge for Goolden and get in touch with Medivh by the way.

Durotan: durotan is one of the main characters in this movie, the leader of Frostwolf tribe and the son of Gallard. He has two brothers, one is Fenris, and the other is Janal. Durotan, the third brother, is the orc who supports family and tradition the most among the three brothers. When he was a child, Dulong Tan successfully protected his sick mother from elements and wild animals, but he almost lost control and entered a dangerous bloodthirsty state. He vowed never to let anger control him again.

The feud between their family and Goolden can be traced back to his father. His father Garad was bewitched by Gourdain and stabbed his palm with a knife stained with venom. Later, Garad took on the Red Orcs, and it was difficult for him to do his best because of the great toxicity. Finally, he died tragically under his opponent's tomahawk.

As an adult, Dulong Tan took on the mission of protecting his people, became a chief, and resolutely led the tribe through the dark door to Azeroth, the new home of Gourdain. When he realized Gourdain's plot, he once again ignored the opposition of other tribes to negotiate with mankind. Under his powerful body, there is a kind, just and awesome soul. A little tragic, a little touching! Is a respectable person!

Ogram-Hammer of Destruction: Ogram was durotan's "gay friends" since childhood. They grew up together, hunted together and fought together. He has a stronger body and faster moving speed than Dulongtan; Moreover, the birth is also an out-and-out "official second generation." He was the adjutant of Blackham, the leader of Blackstone clan, and led an expedition to Azeroth with Blackham.

In fact, among the orcs, Ogram is one of the few aliens who are good at using strategies. Few orcs can compare with Om in calculation. In the battle commanded by the Hammer of Destruction, various ambush and sneak attack tactics are frequently used, such as sneak attack on the Black Hand Chief and the Shadow Parliament. Even among orcs, it is famous for its cunning and scheming, and Garona, a female thief who is good at have it both ways, finally failed to escape Ogram's pursuit.

Om is both a wolf and a cunning fox.

Anduin Lothar: He held many important positions in his life: the seventh president of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, the regent of the Kingdom of Azeroth, and the supreme commander of the Lordaeron League. He is the only descendant of Alashi descent, and Lothar devoted his life to his country. Although he seldom shows his feelings, he feels sad for his fallen friends and country. He exudes great strength and belief. After the death of Medivh and Ryan urien, Lothar was full of desire to avenge his friends and was determined to take back his lost home. His loud and infectious voice made people respect him. He thinks he is a servant of the people of Azeroth, not a leader. He knows very well that only by using all his skills and wisdom can he lead the people to victory.

Well, after the explanation of the above three parts, I think Lao Tie must have a certain understanding of the background of Warcraft. If you like Yamatonokusushi and Zhang to continue exploring World of Warcraft together, you can follow three pools mirroring the moon's official WeChat account. I will update the more detailed historical story of World of Warcraft later!

Well, in this vast fantasy war, let's enjoy the infinite charm of World of Warcraft together!

In fact, Warcraft is not a movie, but a feeling. What we see is not the history of orcs and humans, but our own memories.

"For the alliance!" "For the tribe!" This is the memory of an era!

Before some friends of our party have dinner and go to the movies together, we will raise our glasses and say: For the alliance! For the tribe!
