Respectless ignorance!
Reading a short article in a national (thus, Dutch) opinion-magazine, I became seriously enraged by the shameless disrespect and ignorance displayed by the author. Read this translation:
Hobbit,f*** off! '...Curious are futher the 11 Oscars for the makers of 'Lord of the Rings.' Actors from the movie to the book of the world-estranged reactionist Tolkien were not nominated. They did little more then running agonized on the screen, chased by strange creatures for many,many hours. The problem isn't that it's bull****. That's the case with most Hollywood productions. The problem is the extreme ernest with wich everything is brought. You look at silly hobbits,elves and orcs, but are made to believe you're dealing with a serious mythology...But enough mourning,the age of Frodo and other soulless creations of Tolkien is over.Hopefully the filmscreen will offer space to real people now.' I nearly fell of my chair when I read that! The author obviously doesn't understand the magic of Tolkien, or the greatness of the movies (wich is of course only a subtraction of the magic of the books.) I bet she's only seen the movies (or just one of them) and doesn't know a thing about the truly mythological level of Tolkiens ME at all. Such terrible disrespect and ignorance makes me furious! ![]()
