45. The movie trilogy of The Lord of the Rings is a New Zealand production. The Maori and all New Zealanders have a strong respect for the land and various specific requirements are set up to protect their environment. There was a phrase that became a watchword on the film: “All that we ever leave behind are the footprints.” There was another reason to respect the natural environment used in the film. The author of the novel The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien, witnessed the devastating effects of industrialization and the way in which it changed, and even destroyed, great areas of the previously untouched English countryside that he knew and loved.
(A) It goes without saying that he would have mistaken this landscape for the old English countryside that was no more.
(B) Because of this, it seemed especially fitting that we should show our respect for this landscape and acknowledge that it was far more than a series of movie sets.
(C) By all means, we have to convince people that all waste and garbage has to be removed and that everything has to remain the same.
(D) Therefore, for any film-maker wanting to shoot on location in New Zealand, the commitment, in terms of extra budget and personnel, can be considerable.
