A triumph on many levels - A great work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2012)

i recently purchased the Lord of the Rings Trilogy special extended DVD edition which obviously includes part 1 the fellowship of the ring. I honestly did not realize the amount of dedicated, inspired, creative people that were involved in the making of the movies. People from sword enthusiast to designers of authentic buildings, scale models, 3d rendering, etc. I found the behind the scenes look at how the movie was made an insight. Insights into Tolkien the man . author- to the technical triumphs of adapting script, landscape and technology to shoot the three movies in such a short time. The movie is a triumph on many levels. The main reason i believe this is true is because of the creative attention to detail, which gives the movie an integrity that very few movies can be stamped with. I would highly recommend the special extended editions which have added 30 -40 minutes to each of the movies. If you have time definitely worth looking at are the appendices, to appreciate the finer details of the making of. When movies become a work of art - A great work of ART. My only wish is we could see more great stories be given the same treatment. Peter and team if you ever read these reviews i would like it if you remade the movie Papillon - 1973 movie prison escape movie .
