First, I want to thank you Shan for giving this 100%. I really appreciate it. The Lord of the Rings was the very first novel I ever read. I was 8 years old when a teacher introduced me to The Hobbit (the book that comes before LotR). He would read it in class for 1 hour each day. I liked it so much I asked my mom to buy a copy so I read it at home. The teacher told us that there was more to the story so I asked my mom and she got me the LotR book set for Christmas. I still have that set, but it is in very bad shape. Not surprising as I have read it over 60 times. I also bought over the years other books that give more background information on the story of which there is a massive amount. It goes without saying this story holds a special place in my heart. Much of who I am, my philosophy on life and my morality traces back to this tale. I could talk for months on end about this. In fact, I wrote 2 term papers on it in college. One of which was 224 pages long and only discussed one character. But here I will keep it to a minimum, lol.

The Hobbit was written by JRR Tolkien in 1930. He was not a writer, but a language Professor of world renown. He was famous for being able to translate many ancient eastern and western languages. Some are some very famous fictional stories of the past no one would know about if he hadn’t deciphered those ancient stories and text. Stories like The Green Knight, King Arthur, Beowulf and many others. He was a wealthy man and had a large home in the country. He liked having his family around including children and grandchildren. Since they didn’t have TV then he would tell them stories. He decided one night to make up a story of his own. This story became a favorite and he would add to it with each telling. One night a friend was over with his family and listened to this story and loved it. He told Tolkien he needed to write it down and the friend would get it published (his friend was CS Lewis, the man that created the Narnia books). Tolkien did but it took many years as he was a perfectionist about stories, their background and languages. The first book was The Hobbit. It was such a hit in 1930 that everyone was screaming for more. After much prodding he agreed to write another story. He was still never satisfied with the Hobbit so he worked ever harder on his sequel, The Lord of The Rings. It took him 24 years to write it and was published in 1954. Really, I promise, I will keep this short.

Elijah Wood was 18 when he started filming LotR and was 22 when it was done. The entire film process took 8 years to make all 3 movies. The entire movie was filmed in New Zealand. Frodo home Hobbiton is still in New Zealand and it’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Every day thousands of visitors pass through its gates and join a guided tour around the movie set. The scene where Gandalf hits his head in Bilbos home was not planned, Ian McKellan did it on accident and the director laughed and said that’s staying in. When Gandalf caught that moth on the top of the tower in Isengard, he talked to it to get help from the King of the Great Eagles. Right before he jumped off the tower you see the moth fly by with the eagle in the background. Gandalf was remembering this as he talked to a recovering Frodo in Rivendell. That’s why it seemed out of order. Saruman the White Wizard ordered the tree torn done to use to make the army that Sauron ordered him to make. They needed wood for scaffolding, metal forms to make weapons and for fire to melt steel. I was worried you would be a little frightened by the Orcs. Just remember, they are NOT zombies. They are just really gross looking creatures that like to eat people. Elrond mentions the Elves are leaving Middle Earth. Elves do not grow old, they are immortal. They can be killed but even then they don’t go to heaven or hell like men do. They travel over the sea to the original home of the Elves, Valinor. All elves at some point get a sudden urge to leave and go to Valinor, never to return. So even if an elf dies, they will still not be separated from their families for too long. Unless an Elf gives up their immortality to join with a human. The scene where Aragorn was telling Frodo about Luthien, she did this for her human lover Beren. So, she was never able to join her family in Valinor. That’s the price she paid for marrying a human. Yes, they really created some amazing sets for this movie, not to mention the beautiful outdoor scenery. Got to give it to those Kiwis, some incredibly landscaping they got there.

Hey we all have our comfort foods and the ones that come from grandma are the absolute best. So, you will get no grief from me. You get that sugar bread Shan and enjoy it. Yes, Bilbo has aged. One thing the ring does for you is it extends the life span of those that use it. The movie is impling that now that he doesn'y have the ring his age is catching up to him. That's different from the book. In the book, 30 years went by between Bilbo leaving the Shire and Frodo leaving the Shire. SO when Frodo meets Bilbo in Revindale he has aged from 111 when he left to now 141. And now he doesn't have the ring to keep him young. The mail shirt that Bilbo gave Frodo is made of Mithril. A metal that nothing can pierce. So, it protected him from being stabbed threw by the troll. Still, the force of the blow knocked the breath out of him and probably bruised him severely. These movies will likely break the record for the most recognized scenes in memes. 😄 But none bigger than, “You shall not pass!”. I don’t think they could have got to Gandalf before he fell, but…they could have at least tried. Maybe not the Hobbits, too small to lift Gandalf, but the men. Yep, whole lotta walking hear. But problem is, no buses and the journey is the tale. As Miley Cyrus says, “It’s not about the mountain, it’s the climb.” The scene with the Mirror of Galadriel was about temptation. She showed Frodo through the Mirror what would happen if he failed and told him how the Ring was corrupting the Fellowship through temptation. Frodo responded by offering her the Ring, tempting her. Galadriel, already very powerful with her elvish magic and the possession of one of the 3 rings of power given to the elves would become so powerful she could overthow all the armies in Middle Earth, even defeating Sauron. But she would become as evil as him and All would despair!”. So refused to take it and therefore passed the test of temptation. Knowing that, win or lose, all she loves will eventually come to an end. OK, credit where credit is due Shan, at the end, no more walking. They had boats. The Uruk-Hai Orcs were told to capture the Hobbits and leave them ‘Unspoiled”. Kill everyone else. Well Boromir got possessed by the end but he at least went out a hero, trying to save Merry and Pippin. Yes, I saw this when it came out. I watched it at the Midnight showing and then again 2 more times later that day at the theater for a total of 3 times in one day, the theater cut was just under 3 hours, so I spent 8.5 hours that day, in the theater watching it. Like I said, I'm a fan. Hope I wasn't too chatty here.

Zoot!

I'm mid-way through still watching and you just took a break so me too. No snack judgements, but I've never quite heard of that one. I googled and apparently it's a thing! Closest I've had is buttered toast with sugar and cinnamon, which is pretty much the same I guess. Neat.

Well you made it through your first Lord of the Rings movie. Congratulations! You made it! I love the movies because they're very artistically well-done and I think Peter Jackson does a good job of trying to draw us into the world that Tolkien created. But the first movie, especially, is rather slow in places. Part of the reason I only watch these masterpieces every so often. Yes, I saw each one of these in the theater when they first came out. My cousin and I were amused with the fact that the actor who plays Elrond was also Agent Smith in The Matrix. So, whenever he would come on screen we would say (to ourselves so as not to disrupt others' viewing) things like "Mr. Aragorn! We meet again," in Agent Smith's voice. Yeah. We thought we were funny. PS One easy-to-make homemade dessert I really like is flavored yogurt with granola and chocolate syrup. Don't know if that's considered a weird snack, but it's good.

Zoot!

Well Shan, I have to say you really nailed the key part of these movies - lots of walking lol. Some of this is just because it's the extended edition, but it's supposed to give you a sense of scale, how big the world is, how long the journey is. But I agree, lots of walking. This trilogy was huge at the time it came out, I remember going to see all 3 in cinemas. For the time, it was an epic feat of filmaking as they filmed all 3 movies at the same time and released them each 1 year apart. Early 2000's special effects still hold up very well in this movie too. The soundtrack is one of my favorites outside of Star Wars. There are so many things this movie did right, it's truly impressive. They said that Lord of the Rings would be impossible to make well, and even from the first movie they succeeded. Sam is my favorite, so I was really happy with your reaction near the end. I still tear up a bit :)
