Bilbo’s Party Changes and 17 Years Lost : Film Changes #23 and #24
We’re going over 2 more changes to The Fellowship of the Ring this week!
- Is Bilbo’s party true to how Tolkien wrote it? If it isn’t.. did Jackson change it for the better?
- Peter Jackson dropped nearly all 17 years from the time of Bilbo’s party to the start of Frodo’s journey. Isn’t that a lot to change? Or maybe–just maybe–this is actually true to the book?
In our extended episode (available for our members — https://theonering.com/members) we talk more about these changes, and also:
- If those 17 years would’ve been part of the film, what would have taken place, and how would it have been scripted?
