Lord Of The Fantasies: Looking Back on âFotRâ

Lord Of The Fantasies: Beyond The Swordfights
In âThe Lord of the Ringsâ films, elf-maiden Arwen almost joined the fight at Helmâs Deep, and King Aragorn almost dueled the dark lord Sauron. But the movie-makers chose otherwise. How come, and how does this show truly rare heroism?

One great way to explore âThe Hobbitâ is by reading it yourself. Yet if reading stories is worship, we should also read and discuss this classic together.

Seeking A Better Country Than Middle Earth
Watching Peter Jackson interpret J.R.R. Tolkien is like watching a master jazz impresario play Beethoven. The original is classic; the interpretation as a new work is equally brilliant.

âThe Hobbitâ Story Group 7: Queer Lodgings
Tolkien introduces Beorn the non-âwere-bear,â a creature of vague loyalties and mixed methods.

âThe Hobbitâ Story Group 9: Barrels Out Of Bond
Youâll see Bilbo and the Dwarves escape in the new film version, yet Tolkienâs escape is much less visible.

Exploring ‘The Hobbit’ Chapter 14: Fire and Water
J.R.R. Tolkienâs images of a horrific dragon attack rivals todayâs disaster-prone filmmakers.
