To blend narrative, drama and music in a 3-1/2 hr. production, and do it all without retakes and post-production computer effects? Most daunting, how to satisfy the million of Tolkien fans whose image of Middle-Earth has been molded by many readings of the text, not to mention Peter...
...foxhole / a bullet in his head. / Our leader says he’s wounded / but I know that he is dead,” they sing. Only during the cadences does Waterman feel out of place. Her voice, much higher than the others, does not blend in. “I always sound out of tune,” she says. PT is on the outdoor track today. Sarvis and a male cadet start unwrapping an American flag for a ceremony in honor of a cadet who is contracting. From this point onwards, he will not be able to back...
