watching the LOTR behind the scenes is just something else. the passion, the decisions to hire people based off their love of the source material/their drive to make a truly great piece of art, the tenacity of people to work around their personality types to achieve their dreams, the humble beginnings, the hard work? it's truly remarkable.

#anyway amazon could never #and everything they claim their production is lotr actually was #lotr was actually headed by women in huge part #between phillipa boyens and fran walsh #with fran walsh not even being in the spotlight as her own choice #the people who made lotr had the utmost respect for tolkien and yet could still objectively make adaptation decisions #wheras this likes to claim tolkien as a world of story attracts 'fascists' and therefore must have fascist underpinnings they have to 'fix'#🙄🙄🙄#give me a break #lotr
