Missar jag mycket om jag vljer filmerna framfr bckerna? Vilka delar r viktiga i boken som ej finns med i filmerna?
Jag kan p rak arm bara komma p detta:
Bok 1, episoden med Tom Bombadill.
Bok 2, Gimli berttar fr Legolas om ngra frtrollade grottor i Helms klyfta. Dr finns, sger dvrgen, ...

... immesurable halls, filled with an everlasting music of water that tinkles into pools. (...)
And, Legolas, when the torches are kindled and men walk on the sandy floors under the echoing domes, ah! then, Legolas, gems and crystals and veins of precious ore glint in the polished walls; and the light glows through folded marbles, shell-like, translucent as the living hands of Queen Galadriel. There are columns of white and saffron and dawn-rose, Legolas, fluted and twisted into dreamlike forms; they spring up from many-coloured floors to meet the glistening pendants of the roof: wings, ropes, curtains fine as frozen clouds; spears, banners, pinnacles of suspended palaces! Still lakes mirror them: a glimmering world looks up from dark pools covered with clear glass; cities, such as the mind of Durin could scarce have imagined in his sleep, stretch on through avenues and pillared courts, on into the dark recesses where no light can come, And plink! A silver drop falls, and the round wrinkles in the glass make all the towers bend and waver like weeds and corals in a grotto of the sea. Then evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream. There is chamber after chamber, Legolas; hall opening out of hall, dome after dome, stair beyond stair; and still the winding paths lead on into the mountains heart.
[Tolkien, J. R. R. The Two Towers. New York: Ballantine Books, 1988]
Med det sagt, filmerna r tmligen vlgjorda. Man har bde respeterat Tolkiens verk och tckt in det vsentliga, fngat allt som man sceniskt och gestaltmssigt kan krva av ett sdant hr bild- och associationsrikt verk. Tycker jag.
Jag vill tillgga: det r tur att man inte tvingats filma bckerna rakt av (som fallet sgs ha varit med Harry Potter-filmatiseringarna). Sagan om ringens manusskribenter samt regissren har bde varit rimligt fria i sin gestaltning, samt fljsamma mot originalverkets anda.
S man missar inte s vldigt mycket om man inte lst bckerna. OK; sjlv lste jag bckerna frst. Men nr jag sedan sg Jacksons film nickade jag instmmande t 99% av vad jag sg.
