Born of Hope - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've read the books more than twice and seen the official movies ten times but I'm still most moved by the fan film "Born of Hope". I just wonder if someonelse likes it as much as I do or at least consider it as the most emotional film about the LOTR.

I liked it a lot. I didn't expect to since I am not a great fan of the films but I thought it was intelligent and well done given the limited resources..maybe because of the limited resources

I have a hate love relationship to the films, I love a lot about them, they are well made and so on. But I still hate the parts that differs from the books. However Born of Hope I just love, especially considering the budget.

I liked it too. Talk about dying super young for a King. Arathorn was short-lived indeed.

I liked the film when I saw it (~2 years ago). I only discovered it because of a thread here on the Downs, but just now I couldn't find the thread. If someone remembers what it was called or where it was mentioned?...
