TOLKIEN | Trailer 2 | FOX Searchlight

TOLKIEN explores the formative years of the renowned author’s life as he finds friendship, courage and inspiration among a fellow group of writers and artists at school. Their brotherhood strengthens as they grow up and weather love and loss together, including Tolkien’s tumultuous courtship of his beloved Edith Bratt, until the outbreak of the First World War which threatens to tear their fellowship apart. All of these experiences would later inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-earth novels.

“Well, all good stories deserve embellishment. You’ll have a tale or two to tell when you come back.”
- Gandalf

[Sam-jxtv]

I just hope they show how his Catholicism, his love of Norse and Germanic myths, his love of languages, his children, his wife and his experiences in the war were all important influences on his writings.

[yaesthete]

"After all, I believe legends and myths are largely made of truth."


- J.R.R. Tolkien

[cynayu]

"Tell me a story, in any language you want"

one of most beautiful sentence an author could hear

[epicmemelooker]

Me: shows trailer to friends
Friends: wow. That was good
Me: that’s what I’m Tolkien about
Friends: stop

[aidanhorton]

“There may be a day when the faith of humanity fails...but it is not this day!”

[olua.]

I'm literally begging you, movie, please be good.

[NowinWTF]

I didn't have much interest in a movie about Tolkien's life until I watched this trailer.
Well done, trailer.

[Freyrsvinr]

Thank God he survived WW1, if he had not, we would have never met the hobbit who lived in a hole in the ground...

"We should form a club. A brotherhood. And change the world through the ART"
oh my god

[MaximeThomasLeDeore]

1:43 : "In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit" ^^

Not Churchill, not Thatcher. This is an English man I like to remember. Greetings from Poland.

Sam: I know.
It's all wrong
By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.
It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

"a fellowship"
*goosebumps*

[schawdaya]

He lost so many friends in WW1 and somehow took that insane experience, pain and passion and created one of the most amazing stories/fantasy worlds of our lifetime. I love LOTR but I really wish i could've met this man

“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament … There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth.”

- J.R.R Tolkein

[pamplemoussebleu]

When you think that the greatest love story of Middle Earth, the one of Beren and Lúthien, was inspired by the love Tolkien had for his wife... This is so beautiful!
