I am so glad, my husband and i love it too... I think it is a bit to dark for the little-r children... but... it is such an amazing story with so much to help you grasp the walk of the Christian..<br />Have you all read George Macdonald, he was one of Tolkein and Lewis' mentors... someone they really looked to as young authors.. He is considerd the father of fantasy... Reading his stories, gave L. o Rings so much more depth...sweetnikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031555573840728178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680352488113736106.post-25638787328065453372009-05-23T19:47:17.653-07:002009-05-23T19:47:17.653-07:00I totally agree with your friend and you that you ...I totally agree with your friend and you that you can relate so many things in this movie to the Bible. I thought I was the only one who thought that. I told my friend and she thought I was crazy.

I have never read/seen such a story besides the story of Christ that shows such compassion, love, sacrifice throughout it all. Sure there was evil, but the story does not make the evil look good- I thought it was a great representation of sin, as the ring (sin) appeals to even the good characters. Some parts in the movies are just so amazing, I start to cry (Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom *tears*) <br />Courtneybookflutterbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426712911284917236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680352488113736106.post-25165035195440861532009-04-02T12:44:00.000-07:002009-04-02T12:44:00.000-07:00Your first impressions were EXACTLY like mine, dow...Your first impressions were EXACTLY like mine, down from the 'isn't this a Harry Potter movie? And oh, the Prolouge is EXACTLY what I expected!' to the 'HEY!!! What in the world?! This is a GREEN country with these little people letting off fireworks! This isn't what it's supposed to be! It's supposed to be evil and dark!'<BR/><BR/>So surprise surprise!

I always thought that LotR was some evil movie like Harry Potter.<BR/><BR/>But even after I watched it the first time I watched it it still was not my favorite movie. It's kind of hard to explain why, but the first time I watched it I had not gotten my glasses yet(And my vision is VERY bad :) so I was very confused. The story didn't make much sense to me because lots of the time I couldn't even tell who was who. I kept getting Aragorn and Faramir mixed up. (Dead serious my vision is that bad) Oh yeah Merry and Pippin looked exactly the same to me too. LOL! <BR/><BR/>But anyway my little sister worked with me and I got contacts and then I watched it again and then it became my all-time favorite movie. :)Keykeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510798053470929991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680352488113736106.post-16998917543860936572009-04-01T14:57:00.000-07:002009-04-01T14:57:00.000-07:00I didn't really "grow up" with it, but my dad read...I didn't really "grow up" with it, but my dad read the books way before he saw the movies, I'll have to say, I didn't really know anything about the movies until a few years ago, and I really didn't even know much then. I knew the basic thing, there is an ring and hobbits and other things and trying to destroy it.<BR/>But I really didn't have a desire to see the movies, I thought they were going to be weird. But then my parents let me and my brother watch them, and I was shocked in a way. I never thought I would like them as much as I did. <BR/><BR/>I also didn't know til a little while ago the J.R.R. Tolkien was a christian, and was really good friends with C.S Lewis. =D <BR/><BR/>~Marissa<BR/><BR/>p.s sorry for the long comment again, I have so many thoughts........... =DMarissa Kayannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321564153292065165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680352488113736106.post-91073446798863783702009-04-01T08:59:00.000-07:002009-04-01T08:59:00.000-07:00I've grown up with it, and Love IT SO much!!I've grown up with it, and Love IT SO much!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
