- Computers and wizardry have been
- constant companions during the last
- quarter of the Twentieth Century. And
- after numerous break-through films
- that seamlessly blended live action
- and computer animation, a project like
- The Lord of the Rings was possible.
-
- Peter Jackson had a vision which took
- the filmmakers to his native New
- Zealand. Through some strange twist in
- movie making logic, all three books of
- the Trilogy were filmed in one, long
- shoot.
-
- Boromer, the son of the Steward of
- Gondor, sees the answer to the problem
- of Evil in the Ring itself. But the
- Ring is the artifact of Evil. How can
- Evil destroy Evil?

- It is true. The Machines of Evil
- cannot be turned for Good. Contrary to
- current political notions, death and
- destruction will not eradicate Evil,
- for the Evil of destruction remains.
- Those who do not study history are
- bound to be really stupid.
-
- Even the determined Ring Bearer is not
- free. Following him is Golem, a
- tortured and pathetic creature, who
- wants nothing more than to have back
- his "Precious."

- "The Fellowship of the Ring," the
- first movie of the trilogy, grossed
- enough to cover the enormous costs of
- the whole project. The second film,
- "The Two Towers," surpasses the first
- in story and income.
-
- The screen writers took liberties,
- adding cinematic characterization and
- removing portions of the story that
- did not contribute to the plot. Even
- so, they keep the charm and darkness
- intact, taking millions of people to
- see Middle Earth -- many for the first
- time.
