Epics are such great works of literature that with every passing day, our attraction towards the epics seem to be ever increasing. Correct us if we are wrong. In India, since the times B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharata and Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana were telecasted on National Television, the saga of dealing with our epics increased 10-folds. But, if you ask us who has been the perfect one so far, we’ll say, ‘the best is yet to come’. In fact, we are secretly longing for that day when none but Peter Jackson would direct the grand epic, Mahabharata.

No More Fearing Away from the War Scenes

Another thing which our film directors lose out on portraying convincingly (or do not want to portray) is the war scenes. Now, what are epics if we completely chuck out on these scenes? And, as far as we’re concerned, we haven’t seen a war scene any more vividly and comprehensively portrayed as the war scenes from LOTR! So, this gives us another reason to simply love Peter Jackson to the extent of wanting him and solely him to direct the Mahabharata for us! Good enough reason, isn’t it?

The Weapons that were Used in LOTR

We don’t know whether you have noticed this or not, but the weapons that the characters use in the LOTR series is simply enough to transport you to the epochs bygone. Those sturdy and antique looking weapons are enough, to a great extent, to let the feel of watching an “Epic” dawn on you. And, the best part of it all is, they are not much intricately designed and out-of-the-world. This perhaps makes Peter Jackson all the more endearing to us than anyone else.
