Re: Lord of the Rings Movies

Sorry, but this is going to be... pretty negative.

What I disliked most about the movies is that I never felt that they came even close to capturing the aesthetic or the tone of the movies. Aesthetically, they feel empty and sterile. The landscapes are, like, desolate and inhuman, and the buildings and inhabitations are like tiny little costume sets. The world has no sense of lived weight outside of a few scenes. It was just... grey. When there was grandeur, it wasn't meaningful grandeur, it was just like empty slo-mo with no weight behind it.

Tonally, I just don't think that Jones really did a great job understanding and translating the operation of the characters or the emotional or moral tenor of their choices. In particular I don't think he did a great job with Frodo or Aragorn - both had a weird soft-touch presentation that didn't grasp the way the characters function in my mind.

I understand that just about no one agrees with me on these things, but hey

As for what I liked - I liked the music a lot. I like the bits in the Shire and in Bree but part of that is because I just love the Shire. I liked Theoden.

I don't know, man.
