About The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King:
"One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, #TheLordOfTheRings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world--and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome--one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.

I've got the feeling that Warner Brothers is trolling Amazon's Ring of Power.

Probably so. Even I do not like the casting of Sauron, I would give it a shot. Composer Howard Shore is teaming up with Bear McCreary.

Ngila Dickson is a genius. She won an Oscar but she should have won three, one for each movie.

[@rowanaforrest9792]

The first two movies didn't get anywhere near the respect they deserved by the Oscars. The Academy has always been snobbish about the fantasy genre (so said Christopher Lee and others who knew first hand), and I suppose they were waiting to see whether the third movie in the trilogy could maintain the brilliant quality (which it did).

[@santinoalexanderskowronek6382]

Actually: the academy was aware by the first movie what was happening and that LOTR is a monumental piece of movie history and will undoubtedly triumph in every category. So they decided to use the years for other smaller production and have a clean sweep for the third to honour the entire trilogy.

[@kitkitcat5307]

Ngila set the standard for how a medieval fantasy should look in modern cinema. Her work is unmatched. Every scrap of cloth crafted to perfection, allowing the audience to become visually immersed in this world.

[@dreamer2260]

Couldn't agree more. Magnificent work that is so far ahead of anything comparable in fantasy. An outstanding human creative accomplishment that I have little doubt will last and be loved and admired through the ages. She and all involved should be very proud.

I'll never understand why the first two films didn't received more Oscars, they were robbed. These are the finest set of films ever made

[@Jen-Yueh_Hu]

The third film did not deserve so many either. I always felt the judges intentionally crammed all awards into the third one so to make it "rule them all".

[@oggiwa]

I think alot of people thought the first movie was gonna flop. Fantasy had never been done so seriously, like it was always aimed for a specific public.

[@WozWozEre]

It looks like they decided to basically give them all to ROTK as a way of awarding the entire trilogy. The alternative was for all three movies to basically sweep the Oscars 3 years running, which would have potentially been seen as a boring thing to happen.

[@TuomioK]

I always have considered the first to be the best. It is the grittiest of them all without the silly comedy that RoTK especially has. The whole trilogy is a masterpiece of art but The Fellowship of the Ring is just mindblowing and I got to see it in theaters. I was quite young back then but there is something about that movie that separates it from the rest. I think it is the slightly grittier tone and its smaller scale battle scenes that just somehow work better and are more interesting, more personal and intimate. There is no sadder death in whole trilogy than (SPOILER ALERT) Boromirs. Also the whole Moria part is just awe inspiring. But I could go on… it is perfect.

[@earendildawn4902]

I can really feel the love and passion these ppl have.. brings tears to my eyes. Also, so smart to have elven design for Gandalf the White because it was Galadriel who gave him clothes after he came back.

[@sunberry3447]

the combination of the lime green dress with arwens black hair is the most beautiful combination of colours I've ever seen probably

[@jngarrettart]

The heart, soul, humility, dignity, and respect that were poured into these three films is what made them so special. They took Tolkien seriously, and you can feel the love for his life’s work and the desire to honor his stories and the histories and the cultures he created in all the beautiful details. So many people gave their time, hard work, perseverance, skill, artistry, and careful consideration to make this masterpiece. 20 years later, and still nothing else even comes close to this achievement. I am so grateful to each and every person who contributed to bringing these films into being.

[@eelstrength1514]

I'm sure there were times when people thought that all the detail and work going into the costumes seemed unnecessary, but everyone who worked on that project, no matter how small a role, will always be able to say that they had a part in one of the most important cinematic moments in history.

She inspired me to pursue costume design. Fellowship of the Ring was the first time I actually noticed costumes in a film and realized it was an art form. Her incredible attention to detail and her beautiful, well-thought out designs really brought those characters to life in a way I don't think many would have been able to do. Especially after watching Amazon's ROP, and looking at the catastrophe that are the costumes in that show. It really makes me appreciate Ngila and her incredible designs now more than ever before. Thank you Ngila for doing the LOTR justice.

A "behind the scenes" LotR video is never late nor it's early, it is recommended precisely when it's needed to.

[@aleksandari.7834]

It does not matter that not every single detail from these costumes was seen on film... it is how the actor felt wearing them, and knowing how much love was put into them. And then conveying that feeling through the lens. All those details contributed to this masterpiece and made the whole greater then the sum of all pieces.

[@robertosabado4955]

@@DavidArriola Still doesn't change the fact that the costumes looks lazy, cheap and unimaginative based on what we've seen from RoP so far. For example, the crown worn by Durin III is just a piece of metal with spikes. I want to remind you that the show is suposedly taking place during Moria's height of power and the dwarves would've already had vast experience in smithing even before the discovery of mithril. If they even dug deeper into the lore of Durin they could've designed a magnificent yet intricate crown that not only showed the mastercraftmanship of dwarves but also subtly linked to the "Crown of Durin". The heavenly crown that was made up of a star constellation that inspired Durin I to establish the kingdom of Moria in the first place. But no, the talented designers thought it better for Durin III to wear a crude ring of metal with spikes around his head. Very respectable.

And this is why we have a very small chance to see such beautiful productions in our days (2022+).

[@limecilla7612]

The most interesting thing is, LOTR trilogy actually had a lot of CGI. But the creative team used it sparingly, just to achieve what couldn't be achieved by physical effects. That gives these movies a realistic perception to the audience, because nearly everything you see on the screen *is* actually there: actors, costumes, props, locations... And that's why they have aged so well, specially if you compare them to the Star Wars prequels, that were shot nearly at the same time, and were some of the first movies to use CGI for everything.

[@baguettegott3409]

@@limecilla7612 Exactly. And I mean, it's not like the cgi in lotr is perfect, there's moments where you can totally see that it's from the early 2000s. But it doesn't break the illusion, so to speak, because it's used so sparingly and in clever combination with other effects. (Also, I may be biased here, because I do like the Star Wars prequels, despite... everything. But I always found it funny to compare the Behind the Scenes stuff. You have the lotr dudes running all over New Zealand, on actual rivers and in real fields, and then there's Haydn Christensen just... falling over repeatedly. In front of different green screens.)

I'm probably speaking for a lot of people, for a lot of fan of Tolkien's work, I would rather have seen Warner and New Line create a live-action series in their established style - that is as true to the lore as possible and, most importantly, respecting Tolkien and his work. You could easily have each season focusing on a specific part of the history before the Third Age. There are a lot of characters, some contained to a specific time, and elven characters living through the ages. If you had the rights, that is.
