It would have been pretty interesting, I think, seeing how the books translate into the movies. My Film and Lit teacher actually made a nice statement about stuff like that -- how in a way, those two mediums are like two different works of art. Like comparing a painting to...well, I don't remember what her second item was, but I did like her comparison. Like these two mediums are different, and that's okay. I mostly picked LOTR for my project because it was familiar to me and I was so blown away first seeing the movies (I might have been thirteen or so because I didn't really watch PG-13 movies until I hit that age) that I wanted to be a filmmaker. So it was a bit of a passion project as well.
