Amazing film.
Most will fail to grasp the filmmakers point of reference regarding language. As a film about Tolkien himself it’s hard to imagine a better film. But if you had no idea who Tolkien was and just happened upon this movie. It would still in my opinion be a masterfully crafted film.
I was very much pleased with the emphasis on his passion for language first and foremost- this is a game changing author that can not be equaled in our time or likely any other time... this is a genius
and his work deserves to sit along side other works of literary genius.
I have no other reference point but Shakespeare and Joyce. I realize this may sound slightly off... bordering on absurd to some- but this is a magician of storytelling that invented worlds upon worlds of treasure- a language that can actually be studied and taught and in my opinion is the greatest fantasy writer that has ever lived and ever will live. Thank you for making this film.
