This made me cry uncontrollably at the end. I personally need to thank the person who decided to do an extremely detailed documentary of these movies because this has been amazing to watch.

Feels like I’m watching The Office. The setting is actually such a brilliant idea for a sit-com. 
That Kiwi accent tho, literally impossible to not sound fucking hilarious while speaking like that.

Je n’avais pas encore vu ce making of mais quel bonheur. 

Le bonheur de voir à quel point peter Jackson n’a jamais voulu amoindrir l’ampleur de sa trilogie et de son troisième film. 

Comment ne pas être admiratif quand chaque aspect du film est un chef d’œuvre, le travail de 3D de montage, d’effets pratique d’effets spéciaux et sonores, l’envergure des plans et de la grue, tous ces décors somptueux et ces maquettes géniales. 

Ça reste pour moi le plus grand film que j’ai vu et mon préféré
