<p>Kyrie Eleison: Christopher Tolkien</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;div style=&quot;background: #eee; border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 5px&quot;&gt;'''[[Main Page|Tolkien Gateway]] &amp;gt; [[Forum:Council|Council]] &amp;gt; {{PAGENAME}}'''&lt;/div&gt; [[Category:Council]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- Start writing after this line --&gt;<br /> Dear Mr. Tolkien:<br /> <br /> First, let me say I am a fan of your father's work. He did godlike work in creating a coherent beautiful, meaningful fantasy world. He did a godlike job. Second, let me say that I consider you to be the true author of the Silmarillion; your father provided the raw material, but you created the finished work.<br /> <br /> Incidentally, I believe Peter Jackson went all out to create a good movie, based on your father's work. The sad thing is that it got the character of Galadriel wrong--Cate Blanchett is more like Celebrian than like Galadriel.<br /> <br /> Galadriel is a war goddess--kind, honorable, just, true, and a deadly warrior and general; Celebrian is a deeply injured, wounded, but honorable woman.<br /> <br /> <br /> Sincerely,<br /> <br /> John Lee</div>
