Description
Young hobbit Frodo Baggins, after inheriting a mysterious ring from his uncle Bilbo, must leave his home in order to keep it from falling into the hands of its evil creator. Along the way, a fellowship is formed to protect the ringbearer and make sure that the ring arrives at its final destination: Mt. Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed.
"...They can keep their heaven. When I die, I’d sooner go to Middle Earth."
The Lord of the Rings is a great movie.
I review the entire trilogy every year, sometimes even several times. and what a joy it was to see her on the big screen last year!
I especially love how carefully, reverently and lovingly Peter Jackson treated Tolkien's texts! and Howard Shore's work on musical accompaniment is also impossible not to appreciate, Middle-earth is felt in his music!
it was with this trilogy that my love for Tolkien's world began. after watching, the first thing I read was the Silmarillion, and then the Hobbit with the Lord of the Rings. And now Arda occupies a separate place in my heart 💖💖💖
You can review it endlessly. Later, I staged a marathon of the trilogy in the director's version countless times, and I feel that I will not stop doing this sometimes for the rest of my life)
music. decorations/costumes/props. the work of the operator (I didn't like only the moments of accelerated blurry shooting). The script is an adaptation of the book. and once again the music. Especially when the brotherhood passes through the top of the hill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PreffqwJQlc
And in the scene when Bilbo throws the ring

I watched it in the cinema 21 years ago and I still remember my thought when Frodo and Sam are standing in front of Emin Muil - "we're almost there." and there it is even more than 300 km in a straight line to Orodruin.
after the film, I use the phrase "I don't remember this place" where I was, but I don't remember exactly where.
I like the phrase "Balrog is a demon of the ancient world." I describe the people of ancient Rome/Greece in a similar way. like Socrates is a philosopher of the ancient world.
I like the moment when Boromir rushes to the rescue. Heroically so. So is the horn of Gondor. The only thing more clever than him is the horn of the Haradrim.
I really like Arwen's look "You said you'd give yourself to me"
in the original, of course, it's not so sexy "You said you'd bind yourself to me" you'll bind yourself to me.

An example of the fact that the green screen is almost unnecessary, the best makeup and landscapes!!!!!!!
But how beautifully they shot everything
And elves are generally a dump of everything
I probably like the first part a little more than the rest. everything is just beginning. still together.
Gandalf resembles Dumbledore,
Fordo Potter
Ned Stark here and there)
The golem reminded me of that Goblin from Potteriana)
By the way, in the Game of Thrones I saw Baraes and Caesar from the TV series Xena-the Warrior Queen;
And the Snake from the part of the Two Towers, the one that was spinning at King Rohan, is very similar to Rumplestiltskin from Once upon a time in a fairy tale, he even has a similar role
Who else has any associations when watching the Lord of the Ring?
—"Nothing. Perhaps just once more to look at the lady of the Galadrim, for she is more beautiful than all the jewels of the underworld. Actually... there is one thing... no, no, no, it's not worth it, it's completely impossible, it's stupid
to ask."This parting has caused me a bitter wound. When I took a last look at what is most beautiful. From now on, I will no longer name anything more beautiful than her gift".
—" What did she give you?"
—"I only asked for a lock of her golden hair. She gave me three.
Peter Jackson created not just a film adaptation, but a real epic, which impresses even after almost 25 years.
But the main strength of the film is not only in entertainment, but in the deep meaning that Tolkien laid down. He didn't just invent fantasy, but put philosophy into it: the struggle between good and evil, the value of friendship, the danger of power, and the power of humble heroes.
I also want to admire the sound separately – it's brilliant! Howard Shore has made music that tells a story in its own right.
However, there is something that spoils the impression a little, namely the tightness. Personally, my subjective opinion is that some scenes (especially in the extended version) could have been shortened.
PS. I didn't expect that Sean Bean would manage to die again in the very first movie! :)
