    "The Fabulous Journey of Mr. Bilbo Baggins. The Hobbit across the wild land of through the dark forest. Beyond the Misty Mountains there and back and again".

    When I was in high school in the late 80s, the local public access cable network let pretty much anyone film, edit, and air their own content (which no one watched). I had a friend who was a budding film maker, and he made a few films. His special effects were just about the same quality as the Soviet FotR; tldr a high school AV club in the 80s produced films of equal quality

    If I had to guess as to how they managed to have those kinds of visual effect without a budget, it's likely they had contributors who (willing or otherwise) gave their time to edit and some equipmemt that had some downtime for repairs or simply not actively being used.

    For what it is, and the time, I think it looks fine (kind of like the BBC Narnia movies). It reminds me a lot of when LOTR was very hippie-ish back in the 60s-80s. Mute it and put on Bo Hannson's LOTR album, it's a blast (pipeweed optional but recommended lol )

    One little nitpick, that's not greenscreen. It's blue screen or black screen, semantics I know, but I believe greenscreen was first utilized with The Muppet Christmas Carol, a year after this. Also, it's amazing they included Tom Bombadil, not even the BBC radio series bothered with him!

    • @AllThingsLost

      @@AllThingsLost Yes, to be specific it was the scenes with the Ghost of Christmas Past, she was given that ethereal look by being placed in a tank full of vaseline that was in front of the greenscreen. As much as people bash the use of greenscreen, such screen effects like blue/black/green screens and chroma key have been common practice in any movie that needed big effects and have been used as far back as the early 30's. It was arguably more abused back then, as it was very common for driving scenes to be done with a fake car in front of a bluescreen, hence that one joke in Airplane.

    The quality of this looks like a movie my friends made in high school, but with a slightly higher budget than $0. And I don't make this comparison to mock it; I actually really enjoyed the movie my friends made. It was silly and stupid but just a ton of fun. This feels like that but they actually had enough money for a green screen.

      It has to do with French being the language of Russian elite for decades. French has no H sound, to they would KH instead of H when transcribing from Cyrrilic to Latin. Now why Russians/Ukrainains translate English/German H as G is still a mystery. I have not heard any real explaination for this.

    We really gotta stop flinging *subversive* around so much. Starting to become a crutch in dialogue and frankly too repetitive. So how about we only use it now when a twist or jab at the audience fails to land or people don't like. Since at this point the change of the word has become negative thanks to people like Rian Johnson, Kevin Smith, and pretty Disney and it's pets like Marvel and Star Wars. It's pretty much what everyone thinks when the word is used anyways.
