I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.
My coworker and I were talking about capitalism, and he said, “The Earth is a resort for like 500 rich people, and the rest of us are just the staff.” Now I can’t unsee it.
Return of the King won 11 Oscars. Tied the all-time record. Every single nomination, it won. No fantasy film had ever done that. No fantasy film has done it since
There is a passage in The Two Towers which is arguably among the most important across the books.
Frodo and Sam are asleep outside the entrance to Shelob's lair when Smeagol sidles up to Frodo. Tolkien writes that anyone who saw him would have thought was just a very tired old hobbit. He is written in such affectionate terms here. It is clear that in this moment Smeagol was very close to embracing the Good. But Sam wakes up, assumes the worst about his intentions, and that's that. Smeagol was killed in that moment and Gollum was what remained.
The movies could and should have included this scene. It would have added SO MUCH depth to the already deep on screen character of Smeagol/Gollum.
We all wrestle with the good and evil in our own hearts. Not everyone wins that match. That is the lesson of Gollum in the books and movies alike.
