The chemistry between the young actors, as well that between their adult counterparts was fantastic. And the dialogue was pure poetry! And the cinematography! For some reason the critics didn't like this movie, but I hope it gets some recognition through some awards/nominations. I get that it wasn't accurate (I actually expected it to be inaccurate as I was watching it -- the fantastical flashes of LOTR cemented my conclusion that it was a much fictionalized recounting), but I think it was the spirit of his life and the bonds he made that the filmmakers were trying to convey and it worked for me. I attended the Tolkien exhibit this year, which was fantastic and all too small and brief, but it served as an excellent precursor for watching this film.
@terragthegreat1754 жыл бұрын
Anyone who expects a Biopic to be accurate is fooling themselves. The best a biopic can do is get at the heart of what one side of a person was like, since people are far too complex amd nuanced to be represented accurately. I think Tolkien did a great job at this, even if it couldn't cover the entirety of his person.
@oxfordpictionary4 жыл бұрын

True, the dialogue feels like your're reading one of the many poems Tolkien wrote in the Lord of the Rings. In theory it should be the most boring parts of the book because it's almost blatant exposition of lore and history of the world and yet the poems have a ring and beauty to it wich makes them fun to read. Not to mention that the dialogue is very creative and has some great quotes like the one where Robert Gilson (young) says "I can die in any way the Fates choose, that's not up to me. But what is within my power is to decide how I live. Courageously or Timidly."

J.R.R Tolkien's prominent feelings for "Fellowship" came from his powerful bonds of fellowship at school with three beloved artistic friends. In WWI, he lost two of them, another was shell-shocked & he himself was in a coma-like state for weeks. "Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship… This goal excelleth every other goal, and this aspiration is the monarch of all aspirations." ~ Baha'u'llah, Baha'i Faith

And the LOTR was (in my opinion) was based on their brotherhood, the fellowship that they had. Tolkien was totally devastated after the WW1 that he misses his friends. Through writing this book, Tolkien managed to express his feelings with the help of his creative mind and language. Trully a talented person indeed. Helheimr!.
