Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) by Gabriel O — 16 May 2013

The Greatest Story Ever Told. J. R. R. Tolkien's work was originated by an anthropological concern that can be traced from several centuries' b. C. Alexandria, to Wagner's operas. He achieved to mystify matter and matterialize spirit.

The cultural profoundity of his work consists of a monumental subtext that can be understood as something even greater than a simple reference, cripticism, or allegory... Tolkien said his work was not allegorical but adaptable, thus, his work is more likely an "archetypal initiatic path".

He always searched for the common lost myth of humanity. And he did it. Each line from The Lord of the Rings has infinite lectures, just because it doesn't refer to anything, concretely... but to all-at-a-time.

(...) Mr. Peter Jackson's finest artwork has achieved the impossible and become the most essentially faithfull adaptation of the 20th century classic, becoming a timeless Master-Piece of the cinematic Art.

This is the new Gone with the Wind, the new Lawrence of Arabia, the new Man who would be King, the new Wizard of Oz, the new King Kong. Also fascinating and unreachable visual bill. Hugely profound, incredibly emotional.

Every moment of this film is a pleasure for the most refined sensibility. The best cinematic look since Dreyer's work. Outstanding. Among The Godfather, one of the greatest trilogies ever. Also great action.

Dishly entertaining, beautiful, lovely for all the audiences. Not even the most pop-corn demanding public will feel unsatisfied. Spectacular. One of the best films ever!!!!
