Learning on ScreenBeyond the Movie: The Lord of the Rings
- Synopsis
- An exploration of the impact of cultural forces that inspired New Line’s epic motion picture adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien’s trilogy ‘The Lord of the Rings’ - ‘The fellowship of the ring’. Featuring exclusive footage from the film and interviews with the cast and filmmakers. Poses thought-provoking questions about the history, geography, folklore and culture for viewers who want to go beyond the richly fanciful film. Who was J.R.R. Tolkien, and how did his own life influence the epic? How did the filmmakers re-create Middle Earth? Is the struggle between good and evil in the epic story a reflection of the early 20th century?
