Christopher Tolkien died at age 95 in the early morning hours of January 16, 2020 (or late night of the 15th) at a hospital near his home in Provence, South Eastern France. He was the son of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, author of the fantasy epic masterpiece The Lord Of The Rings. Christopher became his father’s executor and as such edited and published many volumes of his father’s heretofore unpublished writings about the history and lore of Middle-Earth which may never have seen the light of day otherwise. He had been retired for many years and lived quietly with his wife in a small village.
Personally, I didn’t like “Tolkien” either. Christopher Tolkien was briefly portrayed as a child in that film. Additionally, “In a 2012 interview with Le Monde he criticized the [LOTR] films saying: ‘They gutted the book, making an action film for 15 to 25-year-olds.’” – which is what I always said about Jackson's trilogy. I think Christopher and I would have got along.
