The Lord of the Rings - Commentaries
Jan. 8th, 2004 05:16 pmI'm currently listening to the Production team's commentary on the extended Two Towers. Last night, I listened to theirs on Fellowship of the Rings.
Have there ever been such great sets of dvds? There's so much information on them, so much to hear and see and know. And all the passion and the love that just radiates from everyone involved... it takes the breath away.
I just have so much love for Peter Jackson for bringing all this together. Because it's a beautiful story and one well worth retelling. And I'm glad that I can watch it - that I can get all the great things that pour out of the pages without feeling crippled by actually reading the prose (and perhaps, someday, I will be able to pick up the books, and with fresh mind and eye, will truly enjoy the words of the telling - but if that day does come, it will be in great part due to the movies and the love I bear them).
And now, back I go to continue listening.
