Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: The second part of the fantasy adaptation.
If Robert Zemeckis shot two episodes of the “Back to the Future” saga at the same time, Peter Jackson is the only filmmaker who shot three films at the same time: namely, the three parts of Lord of the Rings, adapted by J.R. From Tolkien’s novels. .
After the first introductory episode (The Fellowship of the Ring), the second opus, entitled The Two Towers, highlights the action with the most epic final battle of Helm’s Deep, which confronts the hordes of Isengard of the Kingdom of Rohan. The key moment of this scene: the arrival of reinforcements of the elven patrol. However, this detail is not in Tolkien’s novel and comes from the only will of Peter Jackson, who wanted to reform the alliance between humans and elves.
Therefore, filming was physically demanding for the actors. But not only. Indeed, the latter also led to the speaking of the Elvish language created by Tolkien: Quenia (or High Elvish) presented as a noble language, mainly inspired by Finnish and Sindarin (or Grey-Elvish), heavily inspired by Welsh and Norwegian. Andrew Jack, repeating dialects and invented languages, taught them the phonetics of these languages, which had never before been used orally.
