We admire his outstanding directorial talent. The following is an introduction I found on the Internet for your reference.
Peter Jackson was a well-known director in the New Zealand film industry in the 1980s and 1990s. He was young but had a full beard. He has dreamed of making a film since he was a child. As the director's films such as "Braindead" and "Heavenly Creatures" were recognized by the world, he also became a One of the few horror film directors to command the respect of the mainstream media. His early works were mostly horror, but also humorous, and he was good at using computer stunts to present strange visual effects. The release of the stunningly beautiful "The Lord of the Rings" shocked the world and brought the career of this magical director to a new level of glory.
Peter Jackson was born in Wellington, New Zealand, on October 31, 1961. He spent his childhood in the small town of Pukerua Bay, north of Wellington. As a child, he had a rich imagination and was often obsessed with horror and fantasy. On Christmas Day in 1969, when he was 8 years old, he got a camera from his parents. With the help of some friends from school, I started shooting my own "movie". After dropping out of school at the age of 17, he became obsessed with magic and ghosts, and became obsessed with the classic magic novel "The Lord of the Rings". Soon, Jackson found a job at a local newspaper. The salary earned allowed him to buy his own 16MM camera and continue his dream of making movies.
In 1983, this fledgling "director" filmed a 10-minute debut film "Roast of the Day". Afterwards, with the help of a group of like-minded friends, Jackson finally launched his first self-written, directed and starred science fiction comedy "Bad Taste" in 1987. This film tells the story of aliens who come to earth to find human bodies and take them to outer space to open fast food restaurants. While many may scorn the film for its bizarre plot, his debut feature is not only hilarious, but also grounded in popular culture and commonplace conventions. This 75-minute small-production film took more than three years to shoot and was finally completed with the funding of a sympathizer from the New Zealand Film Commissio. Who has experienced the hardships of starting a business?
Jackson's next work was the 1989 puppet film "Meet the Feebles", which he wrote and directed. It was not very successful and was described as a puppet film "Meet the Feebles". A scary version of "The Muppet Show". Destiny is similar to his debut novel and can only be regarded as a training work. In 1992, Jackson devoted himself to creating the horror film "Braindead" (called "Dead Alive" in the United States), which he was not optimistic about in advance. He never thought that Jackson would make this film into a movie in the 1990s. The most enjoyable black humor horror film has become his most influential masterpiece. The film tells the story of a young man whose mother was bitten by a rat monkey and turned into a terrifying man-eating demon who brutally hunted friends and neighbors, and finally turned into a zombie horde. The scene was quite bloody. This is the most excessive, bizarre, perverted, and inhumane classic zombie film. It easily surpasses all similar horror films in film history. It was called "the most extreme horror film to date" by the New York Daily News. Bloody movie". This film has won 16 international film awards at various film festivals around the world, including the Avoriaz Film Festival in France. Jackson also won the title of "Master of Horror" and became one of the top ten horror film directors in Hollywood. This was appreciated by major producers.

He also has Wen's stunt company to his name. WingNut Films and Three Foot Six in Wellington.
There is no doubt that Jackson has established himself in the gory horror genre and holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans. But then he completely changed his directing style. In 1994, Jackson and his long-term collaborator and life partner Frances Walsh spent a year creating the suspense crime film "Angel of Sin" and directed the film himself.
The film is based on the real-life New Zealand story of Juliet Hulme (Kate Winslet) and Pauline Parker (Melanie Lynskey), which took place in the 1950s. A sensational mother-murder case, it describes the tragic story of two girls full of fantasy youthful feelings and out-of-control homosexual love, which led one of them to murder his mother. It has a strong black humor color. In this film, unlike some of his previous films, Jackson fully demonstrated his benevolent side. He did not blame them for their behavior or ask them to apologize for their actions, but just reflected the two girls. A real, compassionate side of humanity. At the same time, he also fully demonstrated his signature characteristics, mixing his favorite horror elements into fantasy-tinged special effects, and processing the love scene between the two girls into a weird and flowing scene, which reflects his unique photography skills. This film became a watershed in Peter Jackson's career. It not only made Kate Winslet famous, but also won him many international awards, including the Silver Lion Award for Best Film at the 51st Venice Film Festival in 1994, and the 67th Venice Film Festival in 1995.
