I suppose there's some poetic irony that he was too tired ultimately to finish his work, if, you believe that the entire impetus for his writing is heavily based on death.

Straaaange, this song is always meant to be sad, slow and lyrical, but Tolkien himself reads it like a comedy😂: fast and energetical! All I hear is an Italian speaking and gesturing actively🤣

I’ve heard a number of times of the myth that JRR Tolkien was only working on The Silmarillion because it was keeping him occupied and he never intended to let his work be published. So I’m glad to hear Christopher refute that myth since I didn’t believe a man who spent his life writing a work would not want people to read it.

Christopher looks so much like his father, especially in the lower part of his face, but his eyes are entirely his mother Edith’s. Incredible family resemblance.

We should give a lot more credit to this man, than we already do. Without him so much amazing lore would have been forever lost.

The final minutes; so very moving. What incredible lives JRR and Christopher had, both in this world and the secondary world. I fear I will never be able to read everything and can only imagine how Tolkien felt knowing he couldn’t complete his masterpiece. And yet a masterpiece his writings are, nonetheless.

Tolkien himself said of the LOTR books he wrote, "They are fundamentally a religious and Catholic work." To not understand the Catholic meaning in the books to not know them in depth. I look forward to seeing more videos from your channel. Thank you.

I find it very interesting how he doesn’t always pause at the end of the lines like you would expect, but sometimes in the middle of them. The cadence of his speech is very distinct and I can’t tell if it’s just the way he talks or not because there aren’t a lot of recordings of him speaking in Elvish.
@devildante9 10 ай бұрын
It's because that's how old Norse metric was, if you ever hear someone trying to do a musical version of a Tolkien's poem/song and is not tripping trying to get to the next line as fast as possible they are doing it very, very wrong. We are generally very influenced by Latin metric, but you have to trow all of that away when thinking about Tolkien songs, whether it be Elvish, Dwarvish, or Mannish. Or Hobbish? too, for that matter. I don't know were to put Tom Bombadil, but his songs too are very fast.

I had a wish, once upon a time, that I would meet them, father and son, and ask them a thing or two. Like walking in a meadow, looking at the bees, butterflies, and birds, and just talking about all the Ages and theirs events. Then I would go home, satisfied, and paint a mural of the Two Trees of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion, on my living room wall.

There is no story quite like The Silmarillion. I've listened to the audiobook by Martin Shaw at least three dozen times, and I still find new things and new mysteries to daydream about still to this day. Losing Christopher was a major loss, to us all, and mostly to the Tolkien Foundation. I have a bad feeling they are going to start corporatizing all these stories even worse than they did with that god awful shltshow Rings of Power.

The guy that call the Hobbits the bourgeoisie and the Orcs the proletariat wait to start a revolution is talking complete nonsense. Clearly the men and hobbits are the forces of good and the orcs are the forces of evil. I do hate it when posh t w a t s look at everything through a Marxist lens, it’s so boring. They haven’t even read the books why did the BBC even include them.

Fascinating insight about the evolution of Tolkien's world. It explains the functions of the writing of "Unfinished Tales", as it has a lot of the "writing back" that Christopher refers to.
