Mythwest, like the Midwest but mythical. Exploring and celebrating storytelling, creativity, and how it connects to the grand story we all live every day. Join me on this journey as I dive into storytelling, and eventually work towards telling my own original stories.
I aim to put out at least one video essay per month. (or whenever it's ready)
Agree, and with the clear level of respect the filmmakers had for the source material, I’d add it’s a gold standard for adaptation of -any- literature tbh
That will be very interesting as the movie will start with The Hobbit trilogy (PJ made it to fit in LOTR universe as completing JRR Tolkien last task) then Fellowship of the Ring.
The fact that Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillipa Boyens all beat Harvey Weinstein - one of the most powerful and simultaneously unpleasant and vile executives to taint Hollywood - in order to make this movie, makes this trilogy even more awesome than it already was.
Just imagine trying to reboot Harry Potter I mean talk about rebooting perfection of an adaptation… oh wait… well that one didn’t age quite so well (Seriously look it up there rebooting harry potter as a TV show)
I mean, if they drew inspiration from extinct stem mammals and reptiles then the designs could get really funky and realistic looking at the same time.
Honestly though, with how Voyage ended, I feel like even the filmmakers knew this was gonna be the last in the series, which I think is fine. Narnia works better a trilogy anyways cause the books get WEIRD after Voyage. In the end, I’m glad the movie franchise ended with our heroes NOT dying in a train crash like the books did. So I can headcanon that out human characters don’t die and live happily ever after. LET ME BELIEVE.
Thanks so much!! Director may or may not be the direction I’m actually taking the channel 👀 If you’re interested, very soon here I’ll be launching my Patreon and the content on there will explain the direction of the channel as well as document my own journey into filmmaking as I’ve started working on film sets
8:31 What the heck, that was EPIC, i had goose bumps the spine tingling kind, the Music and the first scene was just amazing, brilliant...Peter Jackson, what a Legend......
The one and only difficulty with The Lord of the Rings is there is no explanation of why was Denethor CRAZY. Denethor uses the Palantir of Minas Tirith with good intentions to peer into Sauron's mind (just the same as Saruman using the Palantir of Isengard). Sauron instead gets into everyone’s head, taunting all filling doom and terror, that all was lost.
HELL YEA, a mini series on Netflix with 1 hr per episode would satisfy everybody I think, the fans would get more time with their characters n world n new comers will get prolly the most amazing show ever BUT im sure Amazon would do some to interfere n stoppit, they kno it would overshadow their ROP slop, no chance in hell sadily
@@johnchavez1815 dang thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed haha (I may or may not have a montage addiction that you will likely see across the rest of my channel)
Bring on ALL of it. There can't be enough. After the Amazon travesty, this would be welcome. I wish a faithful producer received the rights to the Silmarillion content. That would be amazing.
You know what I'd like to see ? A Narnia adaptation that makes fun of itself. Point out all the wierd timeline stuff, the sexism and racist undertones.
For sure. They wrapped it up so nicely with the third, they could have a lot of potential on the fourth if they did like a prequel, maybe an ancestor who discovered the friendliness of dragons. Live Action just kinda seems random
To be fair, I think the battle of Helm's Deep and whatever that second battle was could have been condensed/combined. The story is told, I get it. Not a fan of 3 h+ movies!
When an absolute chad director meets an absolute gigachad studio. I still can't believe this trilogy happened and how good it was. I dont think we'll see anything like this happen again. The story, the production, the scope, the scale, the trust people had in each other's work. Its pretty insane for such a cynical industry.
The Lord of The Rings novel and the live action trilogy are both overrated. To claim that the Lord of the Rings is one of the "greatest stories ever told" is laughable I like both, but people have a bad habbit of insisting that the book or the movie they like is "the best ever" without actually having a good idea of what else is even out there
