Christopher Tolkien interview

***Alcuin*** · 04-23-2015, 01:40 AM

Quite interesting: some insight on CJRT as a person, and as Tolkien’s son and literary successor. His dream about his father and The Silmarillion is, for me, the most interesting passage.

The interview is about three years old.

He takes good care of his father's legacy. I just don't get it, why he hates the movies so badly

. Okay, The Hobbit was not very good (I really didn't like it), but Lord of the Rings trilogy was really good (although different from the books).
