The great fairytale movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2020)

As a mythological story, the Lord of the rings inherits the simple ideological theme and narrative structure of ancient mythology: the hero defeats the devil and the good triumphs over the evil. However, tolkien did not stop at creating a single character image and presenting a pure mythological theme. The writer and director also strictly followed the original theme, with a slightly lengthy but remarkable ending, giving the epic a stronger literary flavor.
