Peter Jackson and the Trilogy
I recently watched The Filmmaker's Journey of The Return of the King the third and final movie. As I was watching I started to hear and realize a few things about these movies. Peter Jackson was a young kid in New Zealand and knew a lot about cameras and photography. He was the one who decided to try and make J.R.R. Tolkien's books into a epic trilogy. He went a different way of making these movies. I loved it how he made the cast in the most random decisions. A whole different crew of people that fell in love with the Lord of the Rings which it made it so emotional for all of the characters. Every character has their own journey and part in which they must complete each and individual mission. For Peter Jackson the love of the movies and world that it was in he made to almost history. The world's that he built and the language of J.R.R. Tolkien made it to where these movies was a part of our world history. It's like Peter Jackson put off his life for the 8 years that they filmed and was pretty much in these movies and he completed his mission. Everything he said to any character made them change just a little something about it to make the scene or line being said perfect. Everything that the characters must do must be perfect for Peter Jackson and the cast that loved these films so much did that for him to make the epic trilogy of The Lord of the Rings.
