Peter Jackson in Perspective: The Power Behind Cinema's The Lord of
the Rings brings under one cover the dozens of essays and lectures
that first began appearing on the website Hollywood Jesus in
December of 2001. Since then, author Greg Wright (Tolkien in
Perspective: Sifting the Gold from the Glitter, VMI 2003) has
analyzed and anticipated the cinematic choices of director Peter
Jackson with almost prophetic critical insight. He rightly
attributes the success of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two
Towers and The Return of the King to the power of film itself, the
power of Jackson's artistry and the original power of J.R.R.
Tolkien's literary masterwork-and in so doing provides an
educational, entertaining and respectful look at the process of
bringing a much-loved novel to the screen. Like a sculptor of words
and ideas, Jackson has pared away pieces of Tolkien's fanstastic
epic to reveal both the essence of Tolkien and something entirely
new, something uniquely his own. The essays in this volume are an
invaluable guide to understanding both Jackson and Tolkien.
