You was younger.

These movies are extremely boring

1. A director who was passionate about the project.
2. No boards of studio shits breathing down his neck.
3. Years of preproduction.
4. A team of very talented people involved.

being in NZ instead of hollywood gave the creators the chance to actually make films to retell a story in the best way possible.

anything made in hollywood now is designed via polls and metrics and 'what combination of demographics pandering and TV tropes will make the most money'

A whole lot of fucking white males. If there was any forced racial casting, be it from director or from studio this would have been a disjointed mess. The trilogy is a result of similar people with a interest in making the best damn movie possible.

>>86344360
A lot of motivated people, emphasis on practical effects with CGI mostly used to enhance scenes, not create them. Good acting, good story, great pacing.

My two unpopular opinions which I hold with no irony or for maymay reasons is I think Ian McKellen is one of the most overrated actors of today and he was the worst casting choice for Gandalf out of old male actors possible, and second I think this is one of the best scenes in the entire trilogy: https://youtu.be/jjlxzXO1L1M

Anyone on /tv/ want to start a comfy stream of this trilogy?

>>86344360
to many it doesn't dawn on them that jackson did bad taste and brain dead.
and he makes one of the greatest trilogies that won multiple awards.

>>86344360
Read Viggo's thoughts on the films, they were apparently pretty chaotic and very close to ruin. Lot of New Zealanders ended up working for free.

>>86345962

sauce?

>>86345759
And yet the movie is about different races banding together against a greater evil.
Really makes you think.

Yeah but real racial mythology is more complicated than capeshit. Like in abbos in Australia have these lanky white-skinned gods that are lightning but they uggo as fuck and not caucasian, they're the abbos ancestors.

In Germanic myth, White/Light Elves are just good White people made immortal through honorable deeds. Dark Elves/Dwarves are fallen White people by their greed and baseness (dwarves for example thirst for water nymph pusy).

Hobbits are just goofy, comfy-mode White people. Even Sauron is a Germanic angel gone selfish.

Original Star Wars was like this. What the fuck is with timeless art always having absolute shit behind it and trying to get it made? Even if you don't like LOTR or Star Wars, they're both clearly 'eternal' films now, like The Godfather or Citizen Kane, where they wont fucking die but it was hell to get them made.

There's rumors about an intern getting offed during the making of The Godfather because of the pedo Jew character Coppola was keeping in there.

I'm not saying these films are equal to each other, but they're all now timeless and had terrible problems being made.

>>86344360
no forced diversity

>>86344789
Actually, wasn't there studio meddling? I recall reading that Jackson originally pitched it as two movies, but the studio wouldn't have it and basically forced him to make it a trilogy

>>86346258
>Theoden was without a doubt the best part of these movies
yea

>>86345863

Don't agree with you on the McKellen point, but totally agreed on that funeral scene. It's haunting, and it's followed straight afterwards by 'No parent should have to bury their child' and Theoden sinking to his knees.

God damn, those films were a masterpiece.

>>86345863
How the fuck do i not remember anything about this entire scene or even that character "Theodred", even after watching the films multiple times

This. There's so much talent and money to be made for the film industry right now. We should be seeing Kino every year. But Hollywood Suits love choking the life of Studios and directors just so then there's a 99.99 percent chance they'll make money, whilst minimising all risks. Every movie must follow a formula and experimentation isn't tolerated. As a result, Hollywood has become even more stale than before. Kino only comes from indie or foreign film scenes. I hope we will see the bursting of the Hollywood bubble within this decade.

Everything makes a gorillion today and somehow it keeps getting worse. It's all gone right around to being fun again because of how shallow and bad it is.

I wonder how people in five hundred years are going to look at this period of Hollywood cinema, just the endless comic stuff and countless Star Wars films that were made. I bet Alex Jones will be made retroactively the sanest man of the time. "There really was something in the water supply."

Only gripe I have with the movies is hiring little boys as the Hobbits
Billy Boyd was the only one remotely close to his characters age
Sean Astin second, Frodo shouldve been an actor around the same age as Martin Freeman as Bilbo

Maybe that's a sleepy point for you. I get sleepy during the elf-forest bit in the first movie. Every time, like a charm. The entire section with Cate Blanchett milfu and I start glazing over and stop paying attention.

>>86346339
It was more jackson didn't think he'd be allowed 3 movies so pitched it lower.

>>86344789
No you have it exactly backwards.
Jackson is a hack, with his full creative control you get the hobbit.
Trust me, he is an egotist and a retard.
I have mates who work for weta and they can't stand the guy.

Yeah but it helped that is was not shot in a backlot in LA. The NZ government saw the potential for marketing their relatively unknown country and took it.

It's strangely ironic isn't it? We have a much larger talent pool than at anytime in the history of film, much bigger budgets, a target audience of a billion+ people and far superior technology, yet we can't even make better movies than those made during a time when CGI hadn't exist and directors relied exclusively on props and practical effects.

>>86346885

>>86346982

>>86346982
I think it's marketing that sucks so much money up now, since populations are much bigger and the internet means there's just a shit load of stuff filling up people's heads. Marketing has to be round the clock and extensive just to break through the over-saturation of other news and updates.

I'm not even a sheltered person and I had no idea Thor had his own movies until the second one was out for a year, and I only just learned yesterday Doctor Strange was a movie released ages ago. That might sound unbelievable to some, but there is just so much stuff today it's hard to remember or keep updated with it all.

Just watch the behind the scenes videos they put up during production, it shows they had respect for the source material. It's amazing what can be accomplished when people actually care.
