More than a fantasy

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2006)

It was 1995 when first I saw 'JURASSIC PARK' by Steven Spielberg. I, a mere toddler, was shell-bound by the shear adventure and drama. This made me believe that there will never be a film that would be able to over-shadow the impact I had after seen 'JURASSIC PARK'. But amazingly after 8 years Peter Jackson made me change me mind by his 'LORD OF THE RINGS-THE REATURN OF THE KING'. The shear pander with which he create LOTR (LORD OF THE RINGS) trilogy, mold my inner understanding of movies to a different level. It made me believe that a movie of such gargantuan proportion can ever be made.
The film is a poi gent experience and an allegorical representation of human struggle for existences against the backdrop of many surrounding difficulties. The most interesting part of the film was the way in which Peter Jackson treated the story of the film. It would have been much easer for him to make a film marveled by astonishing special effects. But he took the harder way of making it a masterpiece of powerful story narration and characterizations. Like many other great stories LOTR also deals with many important characters. But if you watch the film carefully you would be able to understand that each and every character was projected with importance and perfection in the film. From Frodo to SmÃ©agol, Gandalf to Aragorn every one has their importance in the drama. Jackson narrated the complex story line and battle field sequences of LOTR in such grace that the audience remained glued on their seats to the end of this never ending saga. So, the film has a lilt of humanity with the flavor of extravaganza which makes it more enlivening. Therefore it has all that the great film can.
