| Bernard Hill Talks Two Towers |
| 2002-04-21 |
| Bernard Hill, who plays King Theoden in the second and third Lord of the Rings films, told SCI FI Wire that he feels the films make Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien’s profound themes more accessible to audiences. “What’s wonderful about the films is that, for all the depth [of the stories]--and the books are a bit profound indeed--I think people would get confused going that deep into books and that kind of literary area,“ Hill said in an interview. “What the films have done is taken the deep essences of the books and made them work and kept true to them, at the same time being true to the film process. So you go and watch a film and not a documentary about the books, which is a tricky line to follow. I think the second one is better than the first one, because it deals with the world of man, so you’ve got a lot of emotions the public will identify with more.“ |
