‘EL Lord of the Rings‘It is one of the most important works ever created both in literature and in the film industry. The world out of the mind of Jrr Tolkien had a great version in the film adaptation of Peter Jackson, which left us interpretations and moments for memory, and even figures that apparently had no importance ended up being a reason for conversation among fans. That is the case of Sligthe name created by fans to identify the elf performed by the New Zealander actor Bret McKenzie.
Figwit is an acronym for “Frodo is great … Who is that?!?” A character that is an extra elf that appears in two different moments of the trilogy: the Elrond council and the road to the gray ports. What is your success? To the fact that he was considered an elf of such beauty that caught his attention. The success of the fan movement generated by Figwit was such that the screenwriters recovered it for ‘El Hobbit’, where McKenzie reappears, but this time with a couple of dialogue lines under the name of Lindir.
A success that nobody expected
A phenomenon like ‘The Lord of the Rings’ that goes far beyond the obvious, of what we have in front of us, creating all kinds of legends like that of a Figwit that appeared as extra, and ended up becoming one of the legends of Peter Jackson’s trilogy.
