LOTR - The Exhibition

LOTR - The Exhibition

I went to this LOTR exhibition during the Easter break 2 weeks back. Actually I wasn’t intended to go at all because the entrance ticket is quite pricey, I think it was nearly 30 aussie dollar per head. But then my auntie went and kept telling me how impress she is and try to persuade me to go. She convinced me and I made up my mind to pay a visit with my friends.

The exhibition was really really superior and it amazed me so much. I thought it was a once-a-life-time experience to go behind the scene of this world famous motion picture trilogy. It took them 3 years just to imagine and put together the settings, buildings, weapons and costumes which described in the novel, just in words. If I wasn’t wrong they spent 8 solid years to film this trilogy. The costumes and weapons stunned me the most as they really made all the costumes and let the actors wear them so that the movements are more authentic. I think there were more than 5000 pieces of them. Guess what… the total weight of the costume of those Rohan warriors is almost 10kg and these warriors are actually all ladies whom are the trainer of the horses used in the movie. Heaps still to describe and it is a disgrace that I couldn’t take any picture inside the exhibition.

After all, it is really payoff for the entrance ticket. I think the exhibition is going on around the world from country to country. So if it happens to stop at the nearest city around you, please don’t hesitate to go. Believe me, even you are not a LOTR fans, you will still like it, very much perhaps.
