How To Watch The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring If You Missed It
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009Just like how the magic unfolds and grips you in page after page of J.R.R. Tolkein’s book, the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings movies does the same too. The first part of the three-part series is awesome. The first part is titled, The Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers is the second and The Return of the King is the third and final part of this series. All three parts are equally fun. Never once will you feel like it has derailed from the track.
The Fellowship of the Ring opens with a prologue that is eight minutes long to set up the legend of the ring. A powerful, dark ring has been forged to destroy the world is the basis of the movie. This ring has disappeared from Sauron, the dark lord to find it’s way in to the hands of Frodo, a hobbit who lived in the Shire, far away from Mordor. Frodo was a sweet natured, peace loving, smoking pipeweed, munchkin short, furry foot young fellow from the affluent class. He whiled away his time in listening to magical stories or fooling around with his three friends, Sam, Pippin and Merry.
Once the ring came in to Frodo’s hands, by way of inheritance from his uncle Bilbo Baggins, along with the property, his life and the lives of his three friends changed for ever. Other characters like Gandol, the white, Aragon, the human warrior, Boromir another human warrior, the elf archer Legolas and Gimli the dwarf form the fellowship of the ring to destroy the corrupt wizard Saruman. Frodo has to travel to Mordor to destroy the ring. His journey is going to take him across Moria which is filled with magic, dark riders on dark horses, ghosts, ringwraiths, giant trolls and orcs - rotten teeth and flesh, foul smelling, gigantic, ugly beasts.
The only protection that Frodo has is the ring iteself along with an invisibility cloak and a sword. Frodo is the only other human who carries this ring more than anyone else besides Saruman himself. Though his health is affected in a negative way, by the end of the third part, on account of being the ring bearer, he understands his duties and tries to fulfill it with all the determination only a young hobbit possesses. The elf princesses, Arwen, with her delicate unearthly beauty and strange elf tongue adds romance in the movie. Many exciting battles are fought in all three parts. Not a moment is spent comfortably in your seat, because your wondering what’s going to happen next.
Gollum is the most interesting character in the film. He contradicts himself constantly. His duel shaded character, the pitiful good side struggling not to be overcome by the revengeful, poisonous bitter side is portrayed well. It is because of Gollum being at the right place, at the right time that Frodo is successful, in going undetected while entering in to Mordor. Gollum leads him in to Mordor through hidden paths and short cuts. Gollum’s longing for his ‘precious’, the ring, ends the story the way it does because in the final moments, even Frodo for a second is overcome by the power of the ring, and wants to keep it for himself.
