[@PiCheZvara]

You know, back then, I thought LOTR winning 11 Oscars was perhaps an overkill. It was just a very well-done fantasy film to me. Now, I'm almost 36 and I think it's a movie where beyond the disguise of fantasy, you get a solemn, deep tale about the loss of innocence, the absence of perfect heroism and the price one has to pay for being forced to stare into the abyss for one moment too long. How once you do that, you're never the same again. It just happens to take place in a fictional world with fictional creatures, but the story is more poignant than many "serious" movies. There are some hard truths told in LOTR, some which can bring a tear to my eye after I've experienced life from more angles than just a teenager. The whole trilogy was so obviously and overwhelmingly good, such a rare achievement, the Academy simply had to push aside any of its preconceived notions and preferences, and simply give the awards to this obvious winner. They were earned, there was just nothing else to do really but to cave in and say - "yup, give every fucking award possible to LOTR", we shorthanded these people the previous few times a little bit, now it's time to give them every accollade they can get. And no one in the audience could argue really, or think "this should've been me", because well, it shouldn't have been anyone else. And it's not a shame to lose to a movie where the entire crew experienced their creative zenith at the same time. LOTR is special, ROTK is special and the awards underscore it. It's one of the times Academy got it right.

[@KentQuickstad]

Well said. But we have to recognize Tolkien for creating such a detailed, complex, believable world in the first place.

[@derpynerdy6294]

the difference why lotr is soo good compared to other shows or films because no matter how deep the philosophies are on other shows or films they may not tackle the most important elements that shows how humans re portryed in emotions and lotr nailed those and will remain a timeless work wherareas GOT is too complicated and too detailed

[@jamesreacts111]

Beautifully said

[@lordskysixss]

Just imagine what was on Tolkien's mind when he envisioned LOTR, the amount of horrible memories he had of his WW1 experiences. I bet any soldier who fought at that war definetly stared longer into the abyss than any character in LOTR, and his writing tells... i'm glad that in the end hope prevails.

PJ's "the Lord of the Rings" is the best film ever made. No, I won't say "return of the king" because it's not really three movies. It's one movie, that's like 10+ hours long, so they had to cut it and split it. Just like Tolkien's book, which was originally one book, that had to be split into three because they wouldn't print it so big. It's one and the same story, that's shot and made all at the same time. Return of the King got all the glory because it was a grand finale of the entire story. But the buildup is what made the finale great. All 3 movies got these 11 Oscars in my opinion. And they deserved more! This IS the best film ever made. Nothing else comes close.

"there's a reason why the say best motion picture for LAST" You heard that academy? Spielberg said that.

[@Choekaas]

Absolutely. Fun fact, in the 30s and 40s they often handed out the Acting awards for last. They did Best Picture last in '45, but not in '46-48. However, they realized over the years that it was fitting to have Best Picture last. Such as in '47 when the papers reported to anticlimactic ending with: "Fontaine settled the highly contested Best Actor race: the winner was Fredrich March for "The Best Years of Our Lives". March was in New York and his Oscar was accepted by Cathy O'Donnell, who played Harold Russel's girlfriend in the movie. And that was the show" and the year after it was reported that audience members were starting to leave the theatre after Best Picture despite having the acting awards left. So they actually have done a different format and learned that it doesn't work. Looks like they have completely forgotten about the failures of the 40's.

[@quarantinebored1427]

I just watched the extended edition of the trilogy and also watched a few extras on the DVD (behind the scenes, filming etc) - it's very easy to see why the movies were successful - the amount of effort and attention put into the project was mind boggling. one example - They made real weapons, armour, prosthetics etc for the armies on screen and a lot of the combatants shown on screen were real people - this has certainly helped in keeping the realism - the movies have aged really well even 20 years on! Another thing to think about - the total budget for the trilogy was $300 million - it's incredible how they managed to pull that off ! There probably won't ever be a production like this again - seeing how the movie industry has gone CGI crazy nowadays.

Peter, we want to see those deleted scenes, unused for the Extended edition of the Lord of the Rings : - Fellowship of the Ring : additional footage from the Battle of the Last Alliance (and maybe add Lee Pace’s Thranduil into it), an extended Council of Elrond (dialogue from the Council of Elrond, such as Gandalf explaining how Sauron forged the One Ring) - The Two Towers : Arwen and Elrond visiting Galadriel at Lothlórien, Conversation between Elrond and Arwen in a library in Rivendell, after Arwen decides to wait for Aragorn. Elrond leaves saying “You gave away your life’s grace. I cannot protect you anymore” - Return of the King : further epilogue footage, with endings for Legolas and Gimli, Éowyn and Faramir's wedding and Aragorn's death and funeral. Also, to give context for Wormtongue killing Saruman, and Legolas in turn killing Wormtongue, it was to be revealed Wormtongue poisoned Théodred. The final scene cut was Aragorn having his armour fitted for the Battle of the Black Gate by the trilogy's armourers, which was the final scene filmed during principal photography, and others. We know you stated that you would like to include some of these unused scenes in a future "Ultimate Edition" home video release, also including out-takes. It would be great if you would be able to revisit the cut of all 6 movies in the near future, do an "ultimate cut" of the 6 movies and integrate those scenes I mentioned back in the movies (instead of deleted scenes). You would also be able to reshoot the "Bilbo finding the Ring" scene from Fellowship of the ring, replace gollum from the shadowy scene in the Mines of Moria (from Fellowship), add more Balrog vs Gandalf fight (as you wished in the first place when you thought about the sequence but you didn't have the means and budget for it at the time), integrate Thranduil in the Battle of the Last Alliance, etc. (as did George Lucas with Star Wars afterwards). Cheers! :D
