Adapting a book into a film is always difficult, especially with a series as epic and dense as The Lord of the Rings. There were bound to be changes Peter Jackson would be forced to make to turn J.R.R. Tolkien’s thousand-page epic into a film trilogy while still somehow maintaining the spirit of Tolkien’s story. In many ways, Jackson’s movies did a great job of this, but there were a few places where they fell short of their goal.While some changes are necessary to translate a book into a live-action film, there are several changes that Jackson’s movies made that have no clear explanation or reasoning. In some cases, these changes even alter the internal message of LOTR’s narrative to the point where it makes the film’s generated subject irreconcilable with the original text.Saruman’s goal in the book was always to steal the One Ring for himself, so working alongside Sauron was more like keeping his enemy close than actually being subordinated to him. Ultimately, this change to Saruman’s characterization makes him a more simplistic and one-dimensional character who requires less screen-time.
