Peter Jackson's great masterpiece, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is very faithful to Tolkien's original vision.
As film adaptations go, it is remarkable how faithful Peter Jackson's trilogy is on a technical level.
The movies cannot contain as much as the books. But otherwise, on a technical level, this is a remarkably accurate adaptation.
But however faithful Peter Jackson's trilogy is on a technical level,
It is a hundred times more faithful on an emotional level.
On a level of spirit, and everything that matters artistically.
There is not a feeling of magic and wonder in the original books that is not felt vividly and in abundance in Peter Jackson's movies.
However faithful they are technically, they are far more faithful on a level of feeling and what really matters.
And easily among the greatest movies ever made, along with E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the original Muppet Movie, and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Anyway, that's all I had to say!
God loves you!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
