does everyone here know that Tolkien was a Christian and that the trilogy is an allegory to Christ?

I've got my free ticket coupon from the four disc Fellowship dvd.
I saw the trailer on Saturday when the girlfriend and I went to see Solaris (I liked it better when I first saw it and it was called 2001: A Space Odyssey... ) and she had to keep me from shouting out from excitement. I seriously can't wait to see this. And I still can't believe it's the same director as Bad Taste, Deal Alive, and Meet the Feebles woot! Ferg Last edited by Ferg; 12-03-2002 at 10:38 AM. |

I've never anticipated a movie like I am with this one. They left so much on the table at the end of the first. Now if Liv would get nekkid, it wouild be the perfect movie!

I for one don't see much of the allegorical references, (such as the hobbits being the jews, since they will carry the burden of the ring), but thought it was an interesting point. Personally, I just think the movies are cool. |

"I just got the Chiltons guide for the 1969 Shelby! Did you know that it's an allegory for the trials of Christ? The way that the shifter bushings have to be set just so on the crossmember. Absolutely brilliant!" On another note... I have been looking forward to this as well. I got the free ticket in the box set too! |

If you pick up a recent copy of the Lord of the Rings, there's an introduction by Tolkien himself which is very enlightening.
He goes on to say at one point, "I detest allegory." He actually has a paragraph or more to say about the topic, which should end any debate about how Frodo is the Messiah. I know he was a devout Christian along with his friend and colleague C.S. Lewis, but not everything has hidden meaning. I bought tickets online a week ago. I can't wait to see it after work on Wednesday! I should be getting to my 13th reading of the trilogy soon, it's almost an annual tradition. |

You real LOTR fans are going to hate me, but for me, it's 8 days until the Two Towers!
I'm going to a screening through a connection with the Writer's GUild to see it on 12/11. When the first film came out, I really didn't like it. I had no knowledge of the story, and was unaware that the actual ending to the first movie really should have been: to be continued... This is a 9 hour movie that is being shown in 3 parts; I was honestly expecting the ring to get destroyed by the end of this film, and some other adventure to take place in the next one. All that being said, I watched the DVD last night, and it was much more enjoyable the second time around. Now that I have some knowledge of the story, I think this movie will be enjoyable as well. |
