The Tale Of Young 'Tolkien' Adopts The Language Of A Standard Biopic
The film, starring Nicholas Hoult as the linguist who created Middle Earth, is full of shout-outs to the Lord of the Rings (books and films), though it "connects the dots a bit literally."
Let's specify right at the start that movies are not history, and that biopics take liberties.
taking liberties would mean not shaping the material of life to make it dramatic, so you'd never get a scene like, say, the one in which a young Tolkien and his college buddies I'm gonna guess that that particular coinage didn't happen like that.
