At best it will get a passing mention, at worst it will be completely overlooked without even a hint.

My bet is the latter since it looks sleek, official and fairly high budget.

I mean damn, I honestly can't even imagine how they're going to completely overlook it when he converted C.S Lewis.

When asked what the purpose of life was he said: "It may be said that the chief purpose of life, for any one of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks."

And in later years he opposed Vatican II, especially the liturgical reform, continuing to answer in Latin instead of English during liturgy.

That and many other things paint the character of a devout Roman Catholic which he was and he certainly saw his faith as the center of his life.

Yet we are going to have a documentary about him that's gonna be most likely so PC to such an extent they won't even mention it.

Deep.

I smell cringe, all this vain hollywood emotionalism, no virility at all. There can't be faith in such a world. Look at the actor, such a soy, there is no nobility in him.

People are so superficial that they don't see the faith of Tolkien, never understood how you can be so blind.

>giving 1/100th of a hoot in hell about new movies

it'll all come crashing down, concern yourselves with other things, hollywood might be the most winnie the poohed place in the universe right now

They'll make it about the war, and a generic good vs evil from the events around him that fueled his imagination, and not about Christianity. That is at least what I am thinking they will do.

They'll bury it heavily for some shallow message about "secular" friendship.

Yea looks they just overlooked that important part of his life. How does Vid related just get washed over? Seems like a fairly important part of his life, probably because these people don't even believe in their faith or have none. And only care what the secular worlds thinks. Which who cares one min they say science says there's only two genders, then the next then they say that's all just made up…. Talk about a loony worldview.

Can't his sons stop this madness?

>sons

Only one is still alive, and the other two didn't seem to care much about daddy's legacy

I tried to find out whether he had any involvement in the film, or what he thought about it, but it seems he's not involved, and no journo has yet asked him what he thinks

He stepped down from manning the estate a while back, so it's probable he's just given up the fight, or just too old to work up the energy to do so anymore. I would expect things to get worse; only the Son can stop this brand of madness.

Another thought occured to me: are they going to bother giving any mention to Tolkien's friendship with C.S. Lewis?

>>781549

He's in his 90s. I imagine his age was the reason he stepped down in the first place.

Look at this.

All hope of being faithful to the man's life is pretty dim.

You are now aware that one of J.R.R.'s grandsons is an observant Jew.

>Ever since Jackson's movie mainstream secularist people have had this internalized persona of Tolkien based of movies that were only very slightly based on the books, in both their plot and their spirit.

My mom never saw the movies and has had this view for many years, I’d say it started in the 60’s when the hippies got ahold of Tolkien.
