    Trying to get my grandchildren to read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings was more or less impossible but when Peter made the film's they watched the film's AND THEN READ THE BOOKS so YAHOO AND THANK YOU . I first read the books when I was a child and any time I need to feel completely lost and bury myself away I always go back to these books and find something new every time I read them.

    Peter is so badass. He comes in in ragged clothes, doesn't give a fuck, hair all screwed up and shit. but people never will have any less respect for him because he is one of the best if not the best directors and producers of our time. We love you Peter.

      @brennanmcdonnell9343 Рік тому +1

      they were not perfect. He and his team did the best they could, they took a risk splitting the hobbit into 3 movies but they couldn't pull it off. that's just not something that can be done well, not even by the best of screenwriters. And The Hobbit lives in the shadow of the now legendary, classic LOTR films. The Hobbit trilogy are fun movies, ive seen them twice, i'll surely watch them again. He's an amazing director, one of the best contemporaries. If you haven't seen his films outside of the tolkein stuff I'd highly recommend his early work, and obviously Kong was a masterpiece. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Jackson. he is a rare and genuine and passionate soul. a modern visionary

    I enjoyed the Hobbit as fun movies. The original trilogy had emotional connection and are masterpieces.
    As a New Zealander, Peter Jackson understands "Englishness"...
    USA directors and Hollywood don't understand "Englishness"
    The sad part for Peter Jackson and the Hobbit trilogy was that things were out of his control and the movies were more "Hollywood" and he had to little time to adjust them.
    His work is also brilliant with the Beatles documentary and "They shall not grow old"

    I did not go to film school and I made my own feature film Mystic Demon Killer inspired greatly by Peter Jackson films like Braindead. I have found myself now at film school mainly because it is now the only way I can continue my art post lockdowns. If you do want to go to film school then make sure you pick a film school that gets you too makes films and not just write about them. I am at Falmouth University and have just completed my foundation year and have made five short films as well as all the written work.
