Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2014)

Books that contain battles, unique creatures, battle sequences, and fantastic adventures just have to be made into a film. "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is perhaps the most famous set of stories in the history of art. Author J.R.R Tolkien uses creativity and adventure to explore the joy of imagination that other artists can use to better represent it. If you don't know the story of "The Lord of the Rings" you need to listen more. Basically, there are little people called hobbits and one of them named Bilbo found an important ring that is coveted by many. The ring causes extreme chaos around middle earth due to the evil lord Sauron, the magical kingdom where dragons, elves, dwarfs, evil creature called orcs, and kingdoms of men exist and fight to keep safety. When the wizard Gandalf goes with Bilbo to discuss with others how to get the ring to Mordor, the evil kingdom filled with terror which is the only place it can be destroyed, Bilbo's nephew Frodo volunteers, but many come with to join him on the adventure and to protect him. Frodo has Aragorn, the brave man, his fellow hobbit friends, an elf, a dwarf, Gandalf and more to bring peace to middle earth. Filmed in the beautiful country of New Zealand, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" starts of this trilogy in a visual way with pure beauty and imagination. The creatures, costumes, sets, visual effects, you name it it's amazing. Magic has never been brought to art so wonderfully and intensely than in this trilogy and the first film definitely sets the mood for the rest of the trilogy. Unique characters, being true to the story, and honoring the creative writer J.R.R. Tolken is what you'll get. Every scene is full of beautiful production design and costume sets to give the film it's wonderful setting to make the scenes with battles and creatures in the right mood. Amazing visual works of art with cinematography and editing and genies work and cooperation by director Peter Jackson allow a complete masterpiece. This visual icon is pure imaginative magic and is a prime example of creativity. Imagination and fantasy is good for the mind in order to escape and compare our world to others so that we can continue analyzing our society. Sometimes fantasy can call on us on how to complete our adventures in life even if its comparing to living in middle earth.
