PentHouse Films

During this month I will post about the other two. But now here is the first: D

Who ever saw The Lord of the Rings because it does not like movies! It is without doubt the best trilogy ever been made! What can I say about this movie if everything has already been said?

Director Chris Columbus merely making a movie just right, following the text paragraph by paragraph by JK Rowling. No demerit that. Meanwhile, across the world, the hitherto semi-unknown Peter Jackson turned his dream into reality to transport Middle-earth for the big screen. The task was thankless and fanaticism that surrounds Lord of the Rings would scare in very prestigious director in Hollywood. In a move that demonstrates the audacity of the project, Jackson managed to convince the suits at New Line Cinema to open the safes. With $ 300 million in hand, he managed to assemble a cast of stars without exorbitant paychecks, but very experienced and hard to be criticized. Using the argument that always wanted to be fanatically loyal to the work, Jackson convinced the players (and fans) to shoot the entire trilogy in one fell swoop. Were 15 months (a normal movie takes on average 4 months) in the remote but rich in natural scenery New Zealand native director. It was the first time that three entire movies were filmed without a break between them.

The actors had to learn that the Elven language of the elves, to help tell the story of Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood). The young hobbit receives from his cousin and guardian Bilbo (Ian Holm) the One Ring. The object was created by Sauron, a powerful being who wants to rule the world. He was defeated for ages and now resurfaces to recover your precious. The mission of Frodo and his friends is to destroy the One Ring and, therefore, will have to walk to Mordor, where he was built.

The film unfortunately lost several Oscars. The cast is one of the greatest strengths of the film. Elijah Wood was born for the role of Frodo, and should be marked as the little hero of hairy feet. The scenes where he is attracted by the Ring are the high point of interpretation of the young actor. Sean Austin is one that is perfect in the skin of the brave and courageous Sam Gamgee, who does everything to protect his friend Frodo. Billy Boyd and Dominic Monagham form the double Merry & Pippin, the comic relief of the film. Both are very funny, and identical to the way described by Tolkien in his work. Ian McKellen is another that seems to be born for his role (the wizard Gandalf). The actor conveys all the charisma of the character (feature that also appears in the books) and takes a bath in scenes more dramatic interpretation.

Liv Tyler as Arwen is very well, and despite its small stake, gets the best role of his career.

Personal comment:

Director Peter Jackson then fulfills its mission so superb and passionate, and still can print from "The Fellowship of the Ring" beautiful and heartfelt lessons of hope, friendship (a character defends another's life with passion and courage - the largest example is Sam, Frodo defender) and life (as one that teaches Gandalf to Frodo, after the two step into the gate of Moria), which were also present in the works of Tolkien. The director keeps alive the magic of Middle Earth, and transforms this first part of the saga in the first cinematic masterpieces of the early twenty-first century. Anyway, it came to the story. 

I would give 9/10 the movie :)
