The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

J.R.R. Tolken is the master of the fantastical. His book series The Lord of the Rings created a world of mystery that could only be deeply explored through his vastly expansive histories. The first movie made from his trilogy is The Fellowship of the Ring. This movie explores the life of Frodo Baggins as he is given a grave task, to return the one ring to the fires of Mount Doom. In his task he is aided by men, hobbits, elves, and dwarfs, the power of their diversity giving the fellowship a power. The power of the film is not only within the characters, but within the beauty of the landscape. New Zealand is home to these films, and Peter Jackson's direction created pieces of art. The special effects and cinematography make the film the powerhouse classic that it is.
