Well today i was watching the ROTK for the 12th time


Well in the scene when the Eagles come it actually reminds me of America for some reason.

is that at movies or on an "pirated" copy of it on dvd, i would surely love to see it more than 10 - only seen it 5, but i dont have the means, everytime i read the script or talk about it i get all excited and want to see it again

but no it dont remind me of that, coz i dont live in USA lol

It doesn't remind of that either, not at all.

erm.....im scottish so i it don remind me of that...maybe if i was american?

i'm an american and i don't want them to start talking about the Lotr/ terrerist conection thing cuz i hear about it every day and i don't agree

my motto: i love my country i fear my government

i reely cant blame u....do u get 2d tv or w/e ova there with George Bush acting like a lil kid...i think thats wot he is reely like....n he wants 2 play with his army figures...

Stay off the politics, folks...

k k....lol....i was jus sayin....cos that show is funny....neways bak 2 LOTR i don think its anythin 2 do with America?

what so good about this book, it was written nearly 64 years ago and people still relate to it today.

nothing in the LOTR movies reminds me of stuff like america, and patritism, flag, old glory, liberty....and if it did i would hurl...because LOTR is not supposed to be like that.

yeah but it kind of reminds me of stealth bomber.

By the way i am not American

That's a very good motto.

The only reason I can think of that the Eagles would make someone think of the US is that the national bird is the eagle.

thats the only relation. Lotr was not ment to be a symbol of anything and if it was, why would somebody choose america for crying out loud
everywhere i turn people are like "Lotr is a great show of America and the war against terriorism" when all it is, is a bunch of american hicks looking for a meaning for there stupidity

wow that made me feel better

America or not, those Eagles were cool!

thats true thoughs eagles are awesome and defently better then the whole american eagle types

i still don't see the connection...

and i'm american, and the american eagle that symbolizes freedom is much beter in my oppinon..
but if ur goin for look LOTR are way cooler. and this is getin a little political wich i'm not that good at...

Yeah those Eagles remind me of the one's in Hobbit! When Gandalf and Bilbo get on the trees, and those nasty goblins taunted them! I just picture those Eagles coming to the rescue!

btw-Those Eagles do remind me of The American Bold eagle

My theroy,crazy if it is,is that LOTR was based off WW2. The eagles could very well repersent America

it was them eagles

now cal me stupid...but they reminded me of....birds

Actually you might have something there! Or they can also represent the Royal British Air force of WWII.

actually its not based on anything, but has SOME things to do with the two wars

dead marshes...probably from tolkiens time as leiutenant in the battle of the somme...seeing his friends die

sarumans voice...hitler...he had a mesmerizing voice

treebeard and the ents...based on macbeth 'sir it seems to me as if the forest doth move' tolkien was disapointed when it was just some stupid people dressed as trees

i dont know if you have seen any documentaries on tolkien, he lost both his parents by the age of 12, he lost all of his friends in WW1, that must of had some impact on the books. quite sad i think

*karatee chops thread* ok that was fun...
