Chris Tolkien reads the end of the Return of the King

[odeg13]

he sounds almost excectly like his father....

[MADdwarfWorkshop]

Chris Tolkien should have played Gandalf... Would have been infinitely better than Mckellen, who's not even a true Tolkien fan...

[mupsoftaren]

@MADdwarfWorkshop mckellan be came a huge tolkien fan and even had the lotr books at hes scene plays to get them right.

@MADdwarfWorkshop you must be kidding right? i dont want to tell you off if you're just trying to be funny

[Higgins380]

@MADdwarfWorkshop: Sir Ian Mckellen had actually read The Hobbit decades before Peter Jackson started the production of the movie, so I guess he' s been a Tolkien fan for quite a while.

@MADdwarfWorkshop Christopher Tolkien is not an actor...And it shouldn't matter if you are a Tolkien fan or not as long as you play the part to the best of your ability and really bring the character to life which is what Sir Ian McKellen did.

this is great. is it really him.

[marcelagae]

I can never read this last part of the lord of the rings without tears. Beautiful.

[gugvg]

That part was wonderful when I read it but hearing it from Christopher makes it 100x better. The only thing better would be hearing John tolkien read it.

[zoeok]

aww soo lovely :)

[guitarcenter999]

I just got goosebumps... what a great poetic tone

[eaglestalon92]

you should have had "Elanor" playing in the background

[alexrogan1]

Son.

[lazarush1980]

forgive me but - who is Chris Tolkien - is he the son or grandson?

[monkeyfighter500]

he is the youngest son

[sakugaaruto]

@lazarush1980 son



[jacobsharps]

@lazarush1980 hes one of his sons, and collected all of j.r.r Tolkien's work into publishable pieces of work, ie silmarillion. Tolkien was unable to publish some of his books before he passed away.
