Lord Of The Rings: False Facts That Fooled Us. Some of the most beloved stories of the last hundred years are ones linked to the elves, hobbits, dwarves, and wizards in J. R. R. Tolkien’s books.

While the entirety of his Middle- earth collection might have found a place in your literature collection, it’s hard to argue that the most well- known of the franchise isn’t The Lord of the Rings trilogy. During this story, readers can watch the classic struggle of good versus evil in the midst of magic, mythical species, and epic battle scenes. A detail that has boosted the fame of the The Lord of the Rings is indisputably Peter Jackson’s film adaptations that were released in the early 2.

The Lord of the Rings is a film series consisting of three high fantasy adventure films directed by Peter Jackson. They are based on the novel The Lord of the Rings.

Cast and crew, plus additional information about the film. A thrilling final chapter to the Lord of the Rings trilogy concerning the epic conclusion to Peter Jackson's enthralling look at temptation, greed, power, and good vs.

The trilogy instantly became distinguished as a work of art for filmgoers, and the billions of dollars it’s earned has cemented its successful status in the financial arena. As a fan favorite and a business endeavor, these movies very much paid off. However, some people just can’t get behind the story elements that changed in their transitions from works of literature to epic movie creations, and to the credit of those book lovers, there are plenty of changes. In fact, some of those modifications lead to poor representations of characters and scenes, and some even confused the story line so much that fans who exclusively latched onto the movies might be convinced of some very untrue ideas regarding Middle- earth and its occupants.

In this remarkable and vivid film trilogy, there are a staggering amount of false facts that the Lord of the Rings films try to convince viewers of.

Here are the 1. 5 Lord Of The Rings False Facts That Fooled Us All. SAURON WAS NOT THE PRIMARY BAD GUY OF MIDDLE- EARTHLet’s go ahead and dive into what could be the worst of these false facts by mentioning that there’s one evil presence in Middle- earth who outranks even Sauron, and that villain’s name is Morgoth.

More than fifteen years have passed since Peter Jackson reintroduced the world to Middle Earth in the first Lord of the Rings movie, and in that time, few films have. · The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King summary of box office results, charts and release information and related links.

Sauron, in fact, is only Morgoth’s servant, and the reason Sauron is able to stand out as the main evil in The Lord of the Rings is that Morgoth has been overtaken and exists in the Void. This finding might not seem too bad since Morgoth’s existence doesn’t negate Sauron’s looming doom over Middle- earth.

Truthfully, if Sauron hadn’t been treated like the cream- of- the- crop villain, fans might not think anything strange about there having been a different enemy in the series. After all, Morgoth is primarily involved with other tales from Middle- earth, like The Silmarillion.

The problem arises, though, because fans of the films are led to infer that there’s no greater threat to Middle- earth than Sauron. After sticking with a movie trilogy for years and about twelve hours of extended version DVDs, finding out that another— worse— guy came before Sauron feels like a betrayal. THE RING IS NOT ALL PERSUASIVEA main idea in the story is that the One Ring has a persuasive trait that anyone is almost doomed to fall under. The films start molding this idea in The Fellowship of the Ring when Bilbo proves that he’s been affected by the Ring— and even Gandalf won’t take it because he doesn’t trust himself with it. Careful consideration of the films and the books contradicts this all- powerful notion, however, since characters get close to the Ring without it overpowering them.

The obvious example is Sam, who carries the Ring for a space of time and has little qualm returning it to Frodo. In the books, Faramir also doesn’t seem affected by the Ring, and during the films, Aragorn hears its call, but has the strength to curl Frodo’s fist around it. Also recall that Merry, Pippin, and Legolas are in the Fellowship, and at no point do any of them hint that they’re considering taking the Ring.

This isn’t even diving into the elves who have other rings of power, but remain good. When cornered with a series of characters who don’t fall to the Ring’s influence, it’s clear that it isn’t ever- persuasive, no matter what the films say. THE EAGLES WOULD HAVE BEEN SPOTTEDA theory exists to undermine the logic of the Fellowship traveling on foot to destroy the Ring in Mordor. What that theory boils down to is that all of the walking and danger could’ve been avoided if the eagles that fly in to save Frodo and Sam after the Ring’s destruction would have been utilized in the first place. Frodo could’ve flown to Mordor, dropped the Ring, then flown home. This is an easy rationale to come to since the eagles are involved in an ex machina moment or two in the trilogy, but the logic is faulty. Given how well guarded the Black Gate is, and with the number of Nazgul flying across Mordor, any character who would’ve tried to enter into Mordor via eagle before the Ring was destroyed would’ve probably been caught— quickly.

The movies give the information to rationally infer that this plan wouldn’t work— like how long it takes the hobbits to cross Mordor— but by portraying the eagles as easy escapes, they equip viewers with a nonsensical conclusion without setting the record straight. So, if you bought into this theory, you were convinced of yet another false Lot. R idea. 1. 2. ELVES CAN’T JUST DECIDE TO BE MORTALIf you got wrapped up in the Aragorn/Arwen romance in the movies, that’s reasonable. Their love is nearly tangible while they interact in Rivendell, and their reunion after the War of the Ring is worth a smile. Arwen giving up her immortality to spend a lessened number of years with Aragorn also seems loving, but if you assumed that every elf has the option to forego immortality in this manner then you’ve been completely fooled. Arwen can only choose this because of her lineage from Beren and Lúthien— a human and an elf who fall in love.

Once that human, Beren, dies, Lúthien dies as well, and only because Mandos (a Ainu responsible for passing judgement) is touched by her grief is she given the choice to live as a mortal with her love. Two elvish women, then, give up their immortality. One has to tug at Mandos’s heartstrings post- life, which makes the decision more complicated than just saying she wants to be mortal. The other follows in her ancestor’s footsteps, in that it’s only because she’s of human and elf lineage that she can make the choice. Essentially, unless they appeal to Mandos or have that combined ancestry, an elf is always an elf.

THE END OF THE RING ISN’T THE END OF FIGHTINGYou can’t logically argue that the end of the Ring equals the end of the movies since there are approximately six billion (give or take) ending scenes before The Return of the King wraps up. If you’re a fan of the books, though, there’s one specific detail that the film adaptations overlook.
