thing I find interesting about this Peter Jackson is that I watched his movie the frighteners way before I knew who he was. The Frighteners directed by Peter Jackson and co-written with his wife, Fran Walsh. A lot of people don’t know that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh conceived the idea for The Frighteners during the script-writing phase of Heavenly Creatures. The Frighteners was a spin-off film of to the television series, Tales from the Crypt. But after Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh 's first draft it
Throughout Peter Jackson’s cinematic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, the power of an individual’s motivations is vividly conveyed, as it influences many character’s course of actions. The root of Saruman’s motivations is his allegiance to Sauron, “Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth.” (Saruman, LOTR:TTT, Jackson), as well as supplementary influences.

The Lord of the Rings (2001 – 2003) and The Hobbit (2012 – 2014) trilogies both directed by Peter Jackson, star Sir Ian McKellen in a leading role as the wizard Gandalf.

Saving the World: A Guide by Samwise Gamgee “PO-TAY-TOES! Boil ‘em. Mash ‘em. Stick ‘em in a stew” (Jackson, imsdb.com). This iconic quote from the film The Two Towers demonstrates a perfect example of comic relief, delivered by the sometimes bumbling, often amusing character Samwise Gamgee. Throughout The Lord of the Rings, however, Sam does much more than fool around and tell quips to lighten the mood. He show generosity, loyalty, and bravery that play a critical role in the story.

It is important to focus on the definitions of religion and quasi-religion to understand how they can influence film, specifically fantasy films. Religion has no one definition as it differs from one person to another.

Such as Spanish mythology which is influenced by Catholicism or Greek mythology. Religion has been a part of society’s upbringing, a large amount
motivation has on an individual's life, the nature of the motivation also has a great effect on the individual's life. Through the film Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Peter Jackson develops the idea that the nature of the motivations that direct an individual’s course of action stems from the conflict of Good and Evil. More specifically, Peter Jackson develops the idea that the conflict between Good and Evil arises in the nature of motivations through the the idea of redemption, the fear
“The Burden of Responsibility” The concept of responsibility is widely demonstrated in the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (LOTR) directed by Peter Jackson.

The protagonists portrayed in the movie, Gandalf, Frodo, and Aragorn, represents the idea of how responsibility can transpire into a positive effect
occurs, conflict or fighting may take place. In the movie Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers directed by Peter Jackson, Saruman, the main antagonist, and Grima Wormtongue, Saruman’s accomplice, bring together troops through convincing them to take revenge against Rohan. While this is happening, Frodo, the carrier of The Ring, and Sam, Frodo’s companion, conquer the uprisings of earth's surface which leads them to Mordor in order to destroy The Ring.

fantasy it’s not a non-fiction movie, it may not be real and all of that but it is still a fantasy. It was directed by Peter Jackson, it was pretty good projecting nothing looked like it was wrong it looked perfect. The movie it also very well acted and very well directed and very well written. The hobbit took place in 2941 to 2942 of the Third Age before the events of The Lord of the Rings and the place it took place was middle earth.

The Lord of the Rings has many themes throughout its three books, but the one theme that I find to be most prevalent is that of ecology. Nature is, if not the strongest, then one of the strongest images Tolkien uses in The Lord of the Rings, he shows us a world that he calls “green and good” and we see the people of Middle-Earth fighting to save this world. In this paper we will be looking at one of these books; The Two Towers. Also we will be looking at the film version directed by Peter Jackson
