J.R.R. Tolkein’s, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings Movie comes alive on the movies screen just like it does in page after page in the book with the same name. This first episode of the three-part series is just great. The first part is called The Fellowship of the Rings, the second The Two Towers and the third The Return of the King. All three episodes are filled with fun, and never derails 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.
The ring comes in to Frodo’s hands by way of inheritance. When he inherites his uncle Bilbo Baggings property, he gets the ring along with it. Once the ring comes in to his possession, his life and the lives of his friends changes forever. He must set out to destroy the dark lord and is aided by other characters like Gandol, the white, Aragon, the human warrior, Boromir another human warrior, the elf archer Legolas and Gimli the dwarf to form the fellowship of the ring in this quest. Frodo must travel to Mordor in order to destroy the ring. On his journey, he needs to pass 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.
Frodo has only the ring, an invisibility cloak and a sword to protect himself. He carries this ring more than anyone else besides Saruman himself. This has affected his health in a negative way, by the end of the third part, yet he understands his duties and tries to fulfill it. Arwen, the elf princesses, with her delicate unearthly beauty and strange elf tongue adds romance. There are many battles that are fought in all three parts. The action scenes are mind blowing. There is not a moment in the movie when you will not find yourself sitting on the edge of the chair and wondering what will happen next.
The most interesting character is Gollum. Who has two sides to him, the pitiful good side struggling not to be overcome by the revengeful, poisonous bitter side. His character is contradictory. He is at the right place at the right time and thus contributes to Frodo’s successful, undetected entrance in to Mordor by taking him for most of the part, through hidden paths and short cuts. If it were not for Gollum’s longing for his ‘precious’, the ring, in the final moments when even Frodo for a second is overcome by the power of the ring, the story would have had a different ending. Gollum takes it along with him in to the fire.
