Eighteen years ago, Peter Jackson’s trilogy “The Lord of the Rings” premiered in theaters. The series, precisely, “The Fellowship of the Ring,” opened to display as the first episode of the much-anticipated action version of Tolkien’s epic fantasy series. The film is intriguing and has gone far to set a pattern that Hollywood has followed for epic fantasy and the entire film industry (Redondo et al., 300). In reality, since its first release, there has been no production quite similar to the movie. That is a project that adhered precisely to the source material and became an appealing episode in the cinemas. In the face of famous filmmaking global projects like Harry Potter, Marvel, Star Wars films, the series is a great charm. Indeed, it is years since the film was released, but audiences cannot get enough of it. The movie's global appreciation has led to farfetched success, including 17 academy awards, Oscar for the best producer and picture (Leggett, 5).
The film is a trilogy of J. Tolkien, a British writer who committed himself to create the middle-earth fantasy world. Subsequently, the book was adapted into a film by Peter Jackson, a New Zealand film producer, widely celebrated for his expertise in showing the imaginary world of the Middle Earth with the same precision as described in Tolkien’s books. Frequently, film versions of literature are casually considered subpar to the books they are based on (Leggett, 3). However, Jackson has nailed the film to replicate the book while capturing the significant themes in Tolkien’s book “Two towers.” With a great emphasis on the second episode, the two towers, this project will analyze Jackson's adaptive methods and formal aspects to render the predecessor (Tolkien) literary work on to the silver screen with exceptional precision.

Ranging from attire, actors, sound effects, props, facial expressions, lighting, and staged body emotions, it is quite difficult for an individual to miss these elements. One of the reasons people admire this trilogy is the technology, including sounds effects, visual effects the film uses (Upshaw, 4). For instance, music is widely used and has a persuasive effect on the series – with each sound or song relating to the story's occurrence. For instance, when Ringwraith’s are chasing Frodo and other Hobbits, the melody playing is so intense that the audience feels as if they share Frodo’s fear as well. Likewise, the Rohan melody gives the audience the sensation of power and courage, which characterizes the Rohan’s people.
As the name of the film suggests, the Lord of the Ring hypothesizes humankind's future, which rests in the hands of one Ring that has been lost for many years. As such, powerful forces are remorseless in the hunt for the treasure. At adult age, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) becomes heir to the ring from his Uncle Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm). However, Frodo, a Christ-like figure, discovers that the magical ring can influence the world and corrupt its origi...
