If I had a nickel for every time Ty Tennant played a younger version of Tom Glynn-Carneys character I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Ok, time for a hot take.

It really bothers me that Rosie and Sam’s relationship is reduced and made so shallow in the films, with the implication that they’ve never even talked to each other, and Sam is pining for this girl he doesn’t really know….

Like …

… this actually misses the entire point of their relationship in the book.

In the book, Sam and Rosie grew up together. His warmest memories that bring him comfort in the darkest place are the memories of playing with her in the pool when they were kids.

The point of Tolkien’s Rosie is that she’s someone familiar to Sam, the face that comes into his mind when he thinks of home. He remembers an actual moment he spent with her, a moment of fun and bonding. Then when he comes home, it turns out she could somehow sense the moment the Ring was destroyed, and knew he was coming home. They have this special, deep bond that brings Sam a sense of comfort and stability.

She’s not supposed to be some distant, unknown figure that Sam has built up in his head but has never actually talked to or gotten to know. That’s literally the antithesis of Tolkien’s Rosie Cotton.

It’s like the films swap Sam’s initial relationships with Rosie and with Frodo. In the movies, he starts off more familiar and friendly with Frodo; they apparently go to the pub together frequently like typical buddies do, whereas Rosie is in another world, dancing and making drinks behind the bar, and Sam is just too unsure of himself to even make small talk with her.

But Tolkien’s portrait is the exact opposite. Rosie is the one who Sam spends a lot of time with and has known for a long while. Frodo is the one who Sam is distant from and doesn’t really have the nerve to make chit-chat with, because he is Frodo’s servant and thus he thinks it’s not his place to be too friendly with “his betters,” as his dad says. (And then the journey takes the two of them out of that restrictive class system and frees them to bond and get to know each other as people.)

Then when they come home, there’s an actual sense of coming home, because Rosie embodies everything that is familiar and safe for Sam. Not everything that is unknown and scary.

War or,….Brotherly dissonance.

Just watched again the movie Tolkien. And seen afresh how the lies and propaganda of war are used to murder and maim innocent men, women (and children for that matter). How war perpetuates war and damage. When will humanity learn war and violence is not the way? That what we sow we reap? To get peace you sow peace! That is the message of the cross. God allowing our warmongering. And forgiving;…

KING

#anti rings of power #rings of power #Bernard Hill #LOTR cast #anti rop #and before anyone says something about how Peter Jackson's movies made money too - yes they did #but at least they were based on books Tolkien actually wrote #the Amazon show is not based on any story Tolkien actually wrote #it's just the haphazard and low quality imitation of a greedy and corrupt company #Bernard Hill is right and he should say it #IT'S NOT THE REAL THING #and also #I think he's saying that the Amazon show is PURELY a money-making venture - which is true #the LOTR films were not purely a money-making venture - in fact they didn't even know if they'd be successful at all #and then they were - but no one predicted it

wanted to try something new and paint a night scene - I'm sure there's still lots to improve but I'm happy with how it turned out!

#arwen undomiel #aragorn #themthemthem #i was always bored watching these scenes in fellowship (slander against the lotr movies i know)#but i've come to appreciate them more over the years #especially as i learn more about film and editing and composition in general #the ligting in these rivendell scenes is gorgeous #and the way this shot is framed is so!! simple yet beautiful #i know i didn't do it justice but i'm happy with my attempt!#lotr #clarisse doodles #tolkien #digital illustration

my toxic trait is just assuming everyone online has seen the lord of the rings and is a low-key permanent member of the fandom

#I just think that regardless of any other fandom that may be occupying my attention at any given time #this 20 year old trilogy is the best film franchise ever made #not just because if the incredible themes taken from Tolkien's works which were largely accurately portrayed #but also because of the preference for costuming and makeup and physical effects over CGI which becomes so easily dated #meaning the movies never look old #and the SOUNDTRACK #The HEART behind the whole project #Idk I think we just forget sometimes that this was not a Hollywood production hashed out asap to Make Money #It was just some guys in New Zealand #And it SHOWS #I'm having LOTR feelings at 8am in a Thursday morning

Monday, December 18.

Willkommen.

History was made on this day, twenty years ago. The last installment in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, was released in cinemas. It grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing film of all time. It won all eleven Oscars for which it was nominated, including Best Picture (the first fantasy to do so), at the 76th Academy Awards. The sequel to 2002's The Two Towers, and the completion of the story started by The Fellowship of the Ring, it was a cinematic landmark and a pop culture behemoth. Like its two predecessors, the film was widely acclaimed by critics and loved by audiences across the globe. But they were, all of them, deceived—for another film was made.

In 2004, Dominic Monaghan, the actor alias used by renowned German film critic Hans Jensen, interviewed the trilogy's star, Elijah Wood. In these nine bracing minutes of footage, Mr. Jensen probed his interviewee on the matters of the day: losing time within yourself, kicking balls, dolphins, and the wearing of wigs. It makes for quite remarkable viewing almost two decades later.
