Watched LOTR: Return of the King for two days in a row and i still think its a 5-Star movie. What a classic.
Things to ponder about after watching Lord of the Rings:
1. When King Theoden gives his pep talk to the Riders of Rohan, (ie "Today, we fight!!") how the heck do the people at the back hear him? There ARE 6000 smelly men and horses after all. Trying to rile up 1000 JC1s is bad enough. Trust me i know.
Nolan's Theory: there's an unseen Middle Earth AVA Club somewhere which will raise the volume of the mic he's using.
2. When riding out of Rohan, notice that the riders ride on an extremely winding path out of the gate. So stupid, why cant they just have a nice straight path?
Chien Ling's Theory: so that the audience can notice how many thousand men and horses there are la! (But we already know there's 6000! But of course, my girl's always right. So we'll just accept it)
3. Legolas has less than 10 lines throughout the whole movie, one of which is the absolutely unneccessary "a diversion!", which induced thoughts of "yes, we KNOW!" in my mind.
Iskandar's Theory: Ah who needs him to talk when he's so handsome? He's just there to attract the girls.
4. Legolas is really damn handsome, especially when he stands at the doorway and poses around when Frodo wakes. Stupid Orlando Bloom. Handsome people like that should be banished.
Kuan Sian's Question: "Eh I wonder what conditioner he uses..." -grin-
Chien Ling's Comment: "I like his clothes!"
5. Why does Frodo have to leave Middle Earth in the end?
Lionel's Theory: He wants to try and escape from NS. Maybe he got enlisted into Commandos.
6. So, if Frodo's leaving Middle Earth, where is he going then?
Lionel's Theory: You see, Middle Earth is only in the middle. So i suppose he may be going to either Left Earth, Right Earth, Up Earth or Down Earth, as long as its not in the middle. -grin-
Noteworthy Screenshots
1.For those who havent seen the movie yet, watch how Aragorn kisses Arwen at the end. He looks like he's gobbling her. Really hilarious.
2. Legolas' single-handed attempt at downing an Elephunt full of mean looking baddies.
3.The Lord of the Nazgul is super "woah"-looking. Think he's damn cool. Sauron should have adopted his costume instead of some stupid fiery eye. If i'd ever go for a Halloween party I'd dress up like him.
Do leave a comment if you've come across anything you need to ponder about LOTR or if you've got your own theories. Should be interesting to hear yeah? :)
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
