When I was a child it made no sense to me why Frodo could not return to the shire after the ring had been destroyed and that the fellowship was broken. As i grew older and I learned about WWI; I realised Frodo never could go home whole, as almost no one could in "the lost generation" :(

The chemistry between the young actors, as well that between their adult counterparts was fantastic. And the dialogue was pure poetry! And the cinematography! For some reason the critics didn't like this movie, but I hope it gets some recognition through some awards/nominations. I get that it wasn't accurate (I actually expected it to be inaccurate as I was watching it -- the fantastical flashes of LOTR cemented my conclusion that it was a much fictionalized recounting), but I think it was the spirit of his life and the bonds he made that the filmmakers were trying to convey and it worked for me. I attended the Tolkien exhibit this year, which was fantastic and all too small and brief, but it served as an excellent precursor for watching this film.

Anyone who expects a Biopic to be accurate is fooling themselves. The best a biopic can do is get at the heart of what one side of a person was like, since people are far too complex amd nuanced to be represented accurately. I think Tolkien did a great job at this, even if it couldn't cover the entirety of his person.

Fun fact/Trivia: Tolkien served in batallion where Sir Christopher Lee's father also serve. Sir Christopher Lee's father also served in Boer War alongside Lord Baden Powell. Like it's been destined, Sir Christopher Lee played the character Tolkien made also Ian Fleeming's character (Ian Fleeming is Sir Christopher Lee's half cousin).

The script is so creative and the dialogue is so fun to listen to. It really takes what would be a somewhat lackluster film and elevates it. It's just fun to listen to these young men talk.

True, the dialogue feels like your're reading one of the many poems Tolkien wrote in the Lord of the Rings. In theory it should be the most boring parts of the book because it's almost blatant exposition of lore and history of the world and yet the poems have a ring and beauty to it wich makes them fun to read. Not to mention that the dialogue is very creative and has some great quotes like the one where Robert Gilson (young) says "I can die in any way the Fates choose, that's not up to me. But what is within my power is to decide how I live. Courageously or Timidly."

J.R.R Tolkien's prominent feelings for "Fellowship" came from his powerful bonds of fellowship at school with three beloved artistic friends. In WWI, he lost two of them, another was shell-shocked & he himself was in a coma-like state for weeks. "Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship… This goal excelleth every other goal, and this aspiration is the monarch of all aspirations." ~ Baha'u'llah, Baha'i Faith

The TCBS has indeed changed the world through art. Tolkien made a huge impact on the world of books and films since the LOTR was released. And the LOTR was (in my opinion) was based on their brotherhood, the fellowship that they had. Tolkien was totally devastated after the WW1 that he misses his friends. Through writing this book, Tolkien managed to express his feelings with the help of his creative mind and language. Trully a talented person indeed. Helheimr!.

There’s a reason why he was so good at writing, he not only loved it but had been studying books and language since he was a young lad. He then progressed through life becoming a professor ( I think in English, he was a linguist after all). All of this culminated into the extensive world and books of Arda more specifically middle earth

Tolkien was such a huge nerd he made up full languages before he started to write a story around them and took part in writing the Oxford Dictionary.

This film is hands down the greatest movie ever made about an author. Everything in it is authentic and sensitive, and we are drawn into Tolkien's burgeoning creative imagination. The director, Dome Karukoski, has the courage to explore the subject of homosexuality in Tolkien's life through his relationship with the poet Geoffrey Bache Smith. The love that the two share is beautifully portrayed in the film, without being either prudish or heavy-handed. Nicholas Hoult is a brilliant actor and deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance.
