Queer Film Theory 101: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Millions of readers worldwide have their own ideas of what author J.R.R.
Tolkien's Middle-earth should look and sound like. But their wildest
imaginings could scarcely top the magnificent visuals of director Peter
Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, the first
of three epic films based on Tolkien's works.
The screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Jackson is determinedly faithful to Tolkien's text, as it sends Frodo and his friends Sam (Sean Astin), Pippin (Billy Boyd) and Merry (Dominic Monaghan)
off in the direction of the terrifying volcanic Mount Doom, where they
must dispose of a cursed ring passed down to Frodo by his cousin Bilbo
Baggins (Ian Holm). The treasure, possessing extraordinary
destructive powers, was forged by Sauron ages ago and,
should it fall into the wrong hands, it could spell the end of
civilization. Getting rid of the ring is not easy.
