Title: One does not simply walk into Mordor: sound and music as suture in the opening sequences of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth filmsAuthor: White, DanielArticle type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Offers a detailed analysis of the use of music and sound in the opening sequences of Peter Jackson’s 'Middle-Earth' trilogies 'The Lord of the Rings' (2001–2003) and 'The Hobbit' (2009–2011). Utilises the psychoanalytic concept of suture to explore how composer Howard Shore's music functions to both construct the world of the films and to draw audiences into that world.
