Слайд 2My favourite film is “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the
Ring”. It is the first film of the ”Lord of the Rings“ film series, based on the book of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien. The film was shot in 2001. It was directed by the New Zealand film director Peter Jackson.
Слайд 3The film is set in Middle-earth – a land where such “goodly” races
as hobbits, elves, dwarfs and men live. Since the ancient times they have warred with orcs, goblins and trolls. At the beginning of the film we learn about the One Ring – a powerful weapon created by the Dark Lord Sauron – which was occasionally found by Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit.
Слайд 4On his 111th birthday Bilbo had a great party, after which he suddenly
departed and left his young cousin Frodo all his belongings, including the magic ring.
Слайд 5A few years later Gandalf, the wizard, visits Frodo to tell him the
truth about the ring. A short time after that Frodo and three of his friends leave Shire. They are followed by the Black Riders, who are searching for Frodo and the Ring. On their way they meet a new friend Aragorn.
Слайд 6The Black Riders attacked Frodo and his friends and one of them stabbed
Frodo in the shoulder with a cursed knife. Aragorn took Frodo and the hobbits to the Rivendell where his wound was healed and the Fellowship of the Ring was formed to take the One Ring to Mordor and destroy it.
