Lord of the Rings Movies

Anticipation for big screen adaptation of The Hobbit is slowly building. After having gone through a lot of trouble during the preparations for the movie, preproduction is now in full swing.

The preparations for The Hobbit has not been smooth sailing. There were a lot of delays faced because of problems with the studio that owns the Lord of The Rings franchise. At some point, Peter Jackson was not even supposed to be going to be involved with the movie. But this was eventually sorted out. But the next snag was when director Guillermo del Toro had to finally drop out of the project because of the long delays in the project. This eventually mean that Jackson had to assume the responsibilities of director even though he didn’t want to at first.

When I watched The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, I initially fell in love with Legolas. Legolas was played by Orlando Bloom. It was my first time to see him act and portrayed that role. I appreciated his role there instantly. I think his role is very suitable for him. I know most of you there will certainly agree. Because of him, honestly, I became more excited with the rest of the LOTR movies. I am excited to see his new appearances in the movie. I am glad that he is still gorgeous and brilliant actor all throughout. He was able to justify his role.

The easiest to fake-simply copy the photos on a color copier is the Press Kit photos, if you are buying a photo press kit look for a folder to come with it. It would be extremely difficult to duplicate since the folders were elaborately printed with embossing and sometimes even with gilt trim.

Aragorn, the mighty human warrior who is a descendant of the Ancient Kings of Men, was fated to get back and occupy the thone of Gondor. A marvelous fighter, he defends Helm’s deep with his great blade. Passionate, wise and brave, he earns the respect of the King of Rohirrim. He went up against a number of difficult challenges in the Return of the King, and he courageously faced each one. Aragorn showed everyone that even if humans did not possess such powers as the elves and wizards did, our race is still a great and unyielding one, with our hearts and our spirits as our ultimate weapons.

Legolas, the Prince of the Elvin Kingdom of Mirwood, became a part of the Fellowship of the Ring as a delegate of his nation. With his sharp eyesight and keen hearing, this elf prince is one member of the group who proved his indispensability by protecting his team and fighting of evil creatures throughout their long journey. The elf was unscathed through it all, but Orlando Bloom, the actor who played Legolas, was not quite so lucky. He suffered broken bones, cuts and sprains during the whole production period, but still, bravely went ahead and continued filming despite his injuries. Maybe Legolas could provide his human counterpart a bit of his elf magic? Just a thought.

Have you ever wished someone would write to you a love letter out of any character styles from the Lord of the Rings? Sometimes you want to associate true love to it. Who wouldn’t fall for that kind of romantic? I myself wanted to have my own copy. The thing is, it would take tons of effort to memorize then one at a time. And it would differ if one fancies handwriting or the electronic copy which is actually easier to decode in a sense. Take Sindarin for example. But it would be really nice, like Aragorn-Arwen type of romance, don’t you think?

With so much thrill brought about by the LOTR to the old and young alike, it would be good to take a sneak on the unknown realms of the movie. This entry inspired by The Fellowship of the Ring Installation of the trilogy.

Elrond and Galadriel are only two of the elven ring bearers in the movie although it was not directly mentioned in any scene in LOTR. It is in Galadriel’s middle finger, as seen as she bids goodbye to the fellowship. On the other hand, Gandalf holds the third ring. He starred in all three cuts of the movie.

Dark Lord Sauron, who was disembodied when the One Ring was cut off from his hand, is the personification of evil in the Lord of the Rings movies. This guy didn’t have a drop of good in him, not one bit. Staying in his tower, the Barad-dur, he employs other creatures of darkness to do his dirty work for him, and find the one thing that could possibly restore his former form and power. Greed keeps him alive. Not satisfied with being able to command numerous creatures and still have a vast amount of power, he still wants more. Good thing that the good side always wins, because a world with Sauron as one of its superpowers might be the reincarnation of hell on earth. Yikes.

The elves in all LOTR movies had obviously captured the hearts of everyone. We have to note, of course, that they are somewhat different from each other, including their physical and psychological aspects.

Based on Oh Joy! Movie Trivias, in the movie, the distinction in appearance of the various elven races is prominent. The wood-elves (or Sylvan elves) have blond hair (Legolas, Galadriel, etc.) whereas the High Elves (or Sindar) have black hair (Elrond).

So the next time you had the knack to watch it again [even if it is the nth time, I know.], try to observe their similarities and differences.

With the actors seemingly internalizing their characters for the sake of utmost professionalism and to add a personal touch to the movie, some had decided to do more than what they are required to do.

Take Viggo Mortenson for example, who completely forgot that his true identity and mistaken himself for Aragorn for like hours.

Another remarkable actor in the movie, Orlando Bloom, who played Legolas Greenleaf, broke a rib while shooting a scene on horseback. Luckily, he was able to return and continue filming the movie after seeing a doctor (Oh Joy! Movie Trivia).

Talking about taking it all internally.
