Daily Dialogue — December 22, 2018

“Keep it secret. Keep it safe.”

— The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings (2001), screenplay Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, novel by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Warning suggested by Lois Bernard.

Trivia: Gandalf’s painful encounter with a ceiling beam in Bilbo’s hobbit-hole was not in the script. Sir Ian McKellen banged his forehead against the beam accidentally. Peter Jackson thought McKellen did a great job “acting through” the mistake and kept it in.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The Mentor Gandalf giving advice in the way of a warning to Frodo.
