Tolkien (2019)

The film’s main problem is it doesn’t want to be about what it is about. The film is largely a series of episodes of how various things (events, people, other works etc.) influenced the Middle Earth texts. But the film resists trying to draw 1 to 1 parallels between Tolkien’s life and his fictional world.The film goes out of its way to avoid allegory.

This is somewhat admirable given Tolkien’s famous distaste for allegory but at the same time there’s too much of the Middle Earth texts in the film to avoid making the connections. And the film clearly wants you to make those connections. This split aim makes the film have no real narrative drive. I do like how sometimes the narrative unspecified symbolism allows you to read several aspects of Tolkien’s mythology into a scene. There was 2-3 times an ambiguous reference to either Sauron or Morgoth. Filmxy has Tolkien (2019) Online Full Movie, Tolkien (2019) free download HD Bluray 720p 1080p with English subtitle. 

While the film is in the batting average for historical accuracy for Hollywood it weirdly ignores obvious things to discuss. The film greatly downplays Tolkien’s Catholicism to the point where he doesn’t seem any more devout than a random guy from that time period. Worse the film spends a lot of time on his courtship with Edith and the film just doesn’t use the bit about Tolkien proposing at 12:01 on his 21st birthday. This makes Tolkien a less complex figure for removing his stubbornness.

However much the film’s story is lacking I love the direction-cinematography in this film. There is a ton of very provocative and lyrical images that feel more Middle Earth to me than the weaker parts of the Jackson films. The film is handsome and despite the narrative drive being missing it doesn’t get bogged down. It plays out like a standard coming of age tale, abet a more artistic one. With all that being said Hoult’s performance is easily the best part of the film and I wish it was in a much better film. I don’t think he will ever top R but this a very touching naturalistic take on an icon.
