I recently watched The Lord of the Rings series. I have highly enjoyed it, and it has reminded me of the representation of Christ. For example, how the ring represents sin, and we as humans love to hold and touch the evil of sin. As well, keeping the sin destroys us, like seeing other characters such as Sméagol change physically and mentally from the power of the ring he desired, his precious. Another representation is the character of Frodo, an ordinary person who has to complete a task that is out of his power. The character is not the look of a typical hero we see. He is not mighty in war and is tall but a hobbit. Frodo, the no ordinary hero, takes the sin of the ring and destroys it for the rest of Middle Earth to live without evil. Jesus is the same, born in a manager, not in a castle. He lived among the poor and talked with them. A difference is Jesus did die for our sins like Frodo destroying the ring. Except Jesus did not remove our sins but gave us a choice to want to live eternally with him away from the evil of this world.

I became obsessed with this story after I first saw it in 2001. For years I’d heard of it, and had seen the cartoon adaptation of The Hobbit, but hadn’t read it yet. And of course, it was released shortly after 9-11, making it seem far more poignant: We were Frodo with the Ring, fighting the evil Terrorists for control of the world, that sort of thing.

After seeing the movie, I read the books–with the soundtrack playing all the time. And no, I don’t normally get interested in the genre which I think I can best describe as Dungeons and Dragons. 😉 But this, the granddaddy of the genre, is different. 🙂

Reading The Hobbit also convinced me that I’m a hobbit as well, hence my online handle. 😉

My whole family is crazy about this series, but I put off watching it for years, and then when I finally saw it, I watched at least one every Saturday for over two months straight. It’s such an addictive set of films, and so easy to fall in love with; one of my absolute favourite moments is actually the scene between Faramir and Pippin

Excellent review. With such an amazing story strung along three long films, you managed to touch on all the highlights and encapsulate what makes this trilogy so beloved.

Oh, I am huge fan of this trilogy. My parents were/are Tolkien fans. The Hobbit was our favourite bedtime story. We used to discuss — back in the day before the trilogy — how a cinematic adaptation should look, who should be cast…Yeah, I remember those discussions with my brothers (-: And then came the cinematic adaptation and I was sold. Loved it. Saw them all in the theatre. Bought the DVDs. And am now introducing my own wee ones to the story. I have a little Gollum lover in my midst (-: And yes, the ending is a blubber fest for me every time, but then it was also like that in the books….”But your part of the story goes on” or something like that…Oh my, time to see them again. We try to do it every Christmas as a family (-:
