@DanaSchwartzzz@NobleBloodTales@DrLindseyFitz I loved that interview, I could listen to you 2 talk for hours. It made me think of a French movie "Au revoir, là haut" (see you up there) where one character wears elaborate face masks after being disfigured in WWI.
@Twittagazze@PhilipPullman Ohh woow it must have been sooo hard to keep that secret. Great way to make the wait for the 3rd Book of Dust a little easier!!
It's no coincidence that my BFF and I watch it regularly together. And that was the first thing we did after not seeing each other for over a year because of the pandemic.
So happy 20th FotR and thank you Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens
"there’s nothing that makes you feel uncomfortable as a woman in the entire trilogy”
I met a lot of women of my gen who love these films and how relatable they are despite the fact that most characters are male. Could having a mixed writer's room have sth to do with it? (Yes)
For some millennial women, “Lord of the Rings” has become a treasured part of the comfort-watch genre. “Nothing feels unsafe because the good guys are all actually good.” https://t.co/kWdArcLf9h
None of the "good guys" display traits of toxic masculinity, they aren't scared of being weak, of showing emotion, of singing. Friendships are sacred and women are both strong and feminine. All down to Tolkien's original writing and how Peter, Fran and Philippa expanded on it.
