LOTR Return of the King

[sage_4]

dont you work at a theatre sage????

You're thinking of Brokend.

I don't hate the enthusiasm. It was quite amazing as a movie experience. 300 people completely silent as Aragorn says "For Frodo." I just don't understand why people have to clap. "Wow, thank you for defeating that Olliphant Legolas!"

Also, I think it is kind of interesting why we are so interested and amazed with these movies. Yah, on the one hand they are amazing books and Peter Jackson and the crew have done a great job of adapting the stories without losing or adding too much. But I think there is a bit more to it. Maybe in these days where we have wars with no clear meaning, we crave a story with a fight for the ultimate reason.

Just my two cents, i think that film class I took has ruined me.
