The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Peter Jackson revolutionized the cinema world when he filmed The Lord of the Rings trilogy. These films were a massive success that even the Academy recognized when Peter Jackson received the Best Director Oscar. My favorite film of the three is The Two Towers because it is when Aragorn begins to accept his destiny as Isildur's heir and leads the people of Rohan in the defense of Helm's Deep against the forces of Saruman. The special effects in the entire trilogy are just amazing and some of the shots are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Peter Jackson is one of the people who inspired me to want to be a film maker in the first place. Jackson's ability to move away from splatter horror films into The Lord of the Rings trilogy really shows a maturity in his film making ability. Jackson has the exact type of career that I pray that I will have in the near future. I realize that this will only happen if I work incredibly hard and catch a few lucky breaks but I still believe that I can do this.
