It was not in vain that I mentioned that the film fell into my hands before the book, and that I did not regret it at all. It was as if I had plunged into an extraordinary world where good fights evil, where green groves alternate with moss-covered statues and ancient ruins, into a world where, making your way through the forest path, you can meet sharp-eared unfading elves or vile orcs - as you are lucky. Before him, I was not a fan of John Tolkien, as, indeed, of all fantasy in general, but as soon as I watched the first ten minutes of the film and the rest flew by in one breath.

It was about four years ago, but I still remember that moment to this day.

Fortunately, I got to watch the movie before reading the book.
