News story - Peter Jackson's Long Goodbye to Middle-earth
|

This is a neat read, with some insightful comments about PJ by Martin Freeman and Ian McKellan, But what caught my eye was the final par:
The one thing Jackson most looks forward to is the day when he has grandchildren and "I can sit and watch their faces as they watch the films. That sort of thing is going to be the moment where I sit back and actually reflect backward, I think - seeing somebody actually experience these films rather than thinking about it."
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

I hope he does get that moment with his grandchildren. I was just wondering the other day whether Peter can ever read The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings now that the movies are complete. I hope so - I hope he still finds joy in the books.

You'd have to wonder, wouldn't you?

After years of delving into the minutiae of the stories over and over again, would it ever be possible for him to read the books for simple enjoyment?

On some level, many of us can sympathize with that sentiment

We too have in our way been deeply involved in the making process of these films. It's sometimes hard - at least for me - to distance myself from everything I know about the actors, the design team, the various other members of the crew, the choices made with the script, the dialogue, the editing...
Anyway, I'm also glad he is now finished with it - he can say like Frodo: "It is done" and move on with his life and career, onto new projects.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
