Liv Tyler Makes Stephen's 'LOTR' Dream Come True

[@RockBrentwood]

1:20 "Did you know who Arwen was?" [when offered the part]. It wouldn't have meant much of anything and she wouldn't have known much - because what you saw in the movie didn't exist beforehand. Arwen was barely there in the book version ... other than the Appendix ... and was just a minor background character. Maybe one or two speaking lines. That's what she would have seen herself as having been offered, when she got the part, if she had known the book version. Other than what's alluded to in the Appendix, everything else is a creation of the movie, not the book.

[@thesoundsmith]

With good reason, IMHO. The energy spent in making both LOTR and The Hobbit RIGHT beyond reason continues to boggle my mind. The detail that is so subtle, so subliminal, just has not been done in cinema before - or since. Tolkien created multiple actual languages, and Peter Jackson's characters faithfully speak them. WETA Workshop created almost magical animatronic heads and creatures to speak them also. Klingon is fun, but not a match. All in all, the books were fun, but not as inspiring as the cinematic recreation. (And I am NOT a Tolkien buff. But I AM enamored of the six-film Extended Blu-Ray series, a tour de force of film-making.

[@gangl1234]

David Kempton The movies *made* me into a Tolkien buff lol. I agree, the books are a little...bland, but reading wikis for the lore is really interesting; there's actually a LOT of similarity between Tolkien's world creation mythology and Elder Scrolls'. Personally I'm enamored with the fact they used actual weapon and armorsmiths to make all the stuff

[@daanwilmer]

David Kempton That's what you get when a linguist starts writing stories - you get languages that live in a world, where the history of that world influences the languages. Only when that is sufficiently developed do the stories get written, using languages that actually work. Klingon was much more of a "let's put guttural sounds together into words and use English grammar" way of creating a language - its purpose was to sound alien, not to be an actual functional language.

[@BenTIStudios]

The books are amazing..and so are the books.

@@alpborakirte801 depending on whether or not you consider the hobbit movies cannon or not, elrond was using hadhafang in the hobbit when he was hunting the orc pack chasing the dwarves. I just recently rewatched it and noticed that he was using it or a sword very similar to it. It also didn't look like it had an inscription on it. One of the lines during the banquet from balin to bilbo he mentioned that swords get names for deeds they've done, so if elrond did have hadhafang in the hobbit, uninscribed, maybe in the few short years between the hobbit and fellowship he could have given the sword to arwen and had the inscription added.

Lol I said the same thing in response to someone else commenting about her angelic voice. Also, Tingting ASMR is a good channel to check out if you want another voice quality similar to Liv's with the benefit of an adorable Chinese accent AND a mesmerizing face just lik Liv has.

She was basically born to play an elf or any kind of magical being because she is so elegant, graceful and soft-spoken. Her beauty is so radiant that you think nothing can taint her like she has some sort of real magic. Her voice just matches her beauty perfectly. I wonder what Peter Jackson really thought when he met her for audition. Probably she said 3 words and he casted her right away.
