You know, Yazad, I think it is just as incredible a feat as making the film for Peter Jackson and his producers to find investors to front $270 million for this film. I think there must have been a lot of Tolkien lovers with "bloody great wodges of cash" to throw into the till! And boy, are they getting a return on their investments...

"...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |
