Fraser sends along the translation to the Maori words at the end of the TTT credits, take a look! [More]
Fraser writes: An overseas friend has suggested I share with TORN readers the meaning of the Maori phrase that appears in the credits that roll at the end of LOTR: TTT. The phrase in Maori is:
“He maungarongo ki te whenua He whakaaro pai ki nga tangata katoa”.
The phrase is commonly translated into English as:
“Peace on earth, Goodwill to all mankind”.
A great and fitting sentiment to crown a great film!
Garfeimao writes: I was able to reduce and scan in the full page ad from the Los Angeles Times New Year’s Day newspaper. The style of the ad is similar to the post FOTR poster release of the Gandalf and Frodo poster last year. Even the theme of what they are saying is similar to the them of Gandalf and Frodo’s dialogue, which is really nice. I hope they turn this into a poster like last year’s poster. [More]
