вЂњThe books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. If we stop on the plane of the Shire, Rohan and Gondor, we will miss the true reason why we feel so nostalgic when experiencing these places. This is how вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ wins over our hearts, not by creating its own light but by being a prism through which we can catch a glimpse, or part of a glimpse, of what the light looks like and is. It is a nostalgia for something we have never experienced yet know in an incredibly intimate way.

They serve to remind us of something we have forgotten. The Shire, Rohan, Gondor: three realms pregnant with similar yet unique messages and meanings. There is a somewhat similar desire, a similar tugging as we wait for the golden fields of Rohan to be renewed as in the ages of old and wait for the coming of the King of Gondor who will once and for all put all things right. ItвЂ™s as if it was our home once, as if we had once tasted of that beauty we now desire to behold and that rest our thirsting souls long to enjoy. The Shire seems much more like home than the place we call home. As we hear the violin and the woodwinds sing and we gaze at GandalfвЂ™s one-horse wooden carriage making its way past the bridges and hills of the Shire, we feel almost as if we belonged there, in this place of light and life where вЂњthings are made to endure вЂ¦ passing from one generation to the next.вЂќ It all seems too right, as if we were truly meant to live there in that country - to never leave and to never grow old.

It is a place of simple yet breathtakingly pure beauty. It is a pleasantly old-fashioned land of emerald rolling hills with small fields and farms, trees and lakes, country paths and puffs of smoke emitting out of reclining hobbitsвЂ™ pipes and the hearths of their cozy, warm and modestly elegant homes built into the hills. So what makes вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ these things? LetвЂ™s begin where our three film-length journey starts off: the Shire. An army of accolades makes a film important it does not make it lovable, beautiful, touching or great. ItвЂ™s a masterpiece of moviemaking that deserves to be watched by every film lover on the merit of these awards alone.Д«ut to stop there would, of course, be insufficient. So enough thinking вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ is a вЂњlower qualityвЂќ movie. All three movies were nominated for Best Picture, and the last movie, вЂњThe Return of the King,вЂќ won this award, along with ten other Oscars, tying only вЂњBen HurвЂќ and вЂњTitanicвЂќ for most Academy Awards ever. To the surprise of many, вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ trilogy has won seventeen Academy Awards. Are these thoughts true? To this I give an emphatic no and so do the filmsвЂ™ many awards which stand in its favor. IвЂ™m sure more than a few of you, however, have subconsciously thought of вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ as second-rate, as a lesser film that could not truly satisfy your taste for good filmmaking. Put down these three films on your вЂњrequired viewingвЂќ list for the fall. ItвЂ™s a trilogy that every college student and every adult should watch. вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ is not just for a niche group of fans who like action and lore. But I need not be to fall in love with this film trilogy. Maybe itвЂ™s because IвЂ™m not the kind of person they have in mind when they imagine the standard вЂњLord of the RingsвЂќ fan. People always seem surprised about the excitement on my face whenever вЂњThe Lord of the RingsвЂќ films are mentioned. OPEN PLAYВ .126 MATCHED PLAYВ .128 Points Values Values.
