But almost 30 years after his death, he has ascended to heights previously reserved for pop stars. For hundreds of thousands, his vivid descriptions of the enchanted land of Middle Earth - and the band of Hobbits, heroes and wizards who set out to save it - have evolved into more than just a fairy tale. ## Images ![Master of the Rings - The Unauthorized Story Behind J.R.R.

However, if you want to learn more about the man who created the world of Middle-Earth, where he came from, and what came about as a result, this is a wonderfully informative documentary.The film is arranged oddly, with the earlier segments being about the fandom that has surrounded Tolkien's work and the later segments being about Tolkien himself.In the "fandom" section, two particularly good segments include a piece on a Live Action Roleplaying battle with people designated as humans, goblins, archers or swordsmen, and a bit with a musician who dedicated his third album to music inspired by Tolkien. These bits reminded me of the "Trekkies" documentary of a few years ago, where you find yourself thinking how bizarre these people are, while at the same time, experiencing just a touch of regret that you aren't there with them.The second part of the film, the biographical part, gives a lot of insight into Tolkien himself, including an interview with a man who wrote Tolkien's biography, a visit to the church he worshipped at and stops at several of his homes and hangouts, including a club he belonged to with C.S. Lewis.If you're interested in going beyond the story itself and learning where it came from and where it went as a result, this is a great film to watch. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Just Don't... *by F***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2021* This is a horrible show.
