movie review - Lord of the Rings

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2001.12.29

What other rating could I give this flick? To see as large and rich a book reduced to a feature film with its tone and depth intact was a refreshing surprise. This movie is a beautiful rendition!

Strongly recommended.

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
