The National Geographical documentary on Lord of the Rings

[Morquesse]

"Ya'll's"? Sounds like my mom! (she grew up in Arkansas)<BR>Anyway, I agree the majority of the National Geographic making of movie is a bit greeney. But it did provide some info on the Anglo-Saxins (which you probably could find in history books if you really looked no doubt) but it was new to me.<BR>One mistake they made, was that they said Tolkien 'began writing the Lord of the Rings when he was in the trenches,' according to his biography, he wrote the Silmarillion in the trenches (then known as the Book of Lost Tales) and began LotR in the forties.<BR>I have learned something from all of the interviews and making of's and Tolkien's movie biographies; the makers of LotR are patting themselves on the back and each other's back. They mention a problem they had, and how they fixed it brilliantly.<BR>Conclusion: There IS a bit of info I did not know before, but it's your choice wither or not to get it.<BR>See ya,<BR>~M<p>[ December 15, 2002: Message edited by: Morquesse ]
