The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring film we see a magnificent portrayal of J.R.R. Tolkien's first book of what came to be known as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy; which is a series of three books The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. This movie was first released in 2001 and was filmed in in the far wide green plains and the snowy mountains of New Zealand. The main characters are: Sauron, Saruman the White (Sauron's new ally), Gandalf the Grey, Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins (Frodo's uncle), Samwise gamgee, Meriadoc Brandybuck AKA Merry, Preregin Took AKA Pippin, Aragorn son of Arathorn (Isildur's heir), Legolas of the woodland realms, Gimli son of Gloin, Boromir of Gondor, Elrond of Rivendell and Arwen daughter of Elrond.

This fantasy film takes place in the imaginary realm of Middle-earth which is consisted of cities, plains, rivers, mountains, towns, ruins and forests. the first few scenes explain in the past ages the founding of the One Ring which is done by the main protagonist The Dark Lord Sauron from the fires of Mount Doom. This One Ring which is also called: The Ring, The One, The Precious, The Master-Ring, The Ring of Power and The Ring of Sauron; is used in the past to control the leaders of the races of Middle-earth from Dwarfs, Men and Elves until Sauron brought them to their doom. The Ring was not only formed from the fires of Mount Doom, Sauron also poured his "cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life" so the power of the Dark Lord is tied to the Ring. Sauron while using his armies from his land of Mordor was about the conqueror all life but an alliance of Men and Elves battled and defeated the Dark Lord's armies, the son of the king of men Isildur cut the hand of Sauron and took the Ring and there their victory was complete but instead of destroying the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom Isildur decided to keep it; for men are easily

    These movie starts by describing the setting where the hobbits lived and spend their lives in holes. Communication started by Bilbo saying “Good morning” to the grey wizard; although the wizard asked him if he wishes a good morning or that good things will happen in that morning and so on.

    Authors often use symbolism in their stories to help their readers through the story and to help them know what's important. In this series the ring that frodo holds is a symbol of evil and how it corrupts you if you do its bidding. In this story if you put on the ring you do what it wanted you to do and then it takes over your body making you want to control all others or drives you mad and makes you run away. The symbol of the ring also became a symbol of war and until it was destroyed people would be at constant war and the evil would be winning and that’s how the ring ties into the thesis that war is…

    Although 'The Lord of the Rings' is a completely different text in almost every respect, both texts display the effects of a physical journey extremely well. Jackson uses an array of cinematic techniques such as a variety of camera techniques as well as controlling the audiences perspective and the mise-en-scene which also reflect this statement.…

    This story is a classic example of The Hero’s Journey. As the story happens in a different world, at the very beginning the world is presented and later we meet the hero. It is important to mention that the ordinary world of a story does not necessarily correspond to our ordinary world. Frodo is chosen by Gandalf, his mentor, to destroy the One ring. At the beginning, he refuses the adventure.…

    I will be talking about Gandalf’s role in the story and how he is like a father figure to Bilbo. The Hobbit was wrote by J. R. R. Tolkien. We first see Gandalf at the beginning of the story when he meets Bilbo at his hobbit hole. The first impression the story gives us about Gandalf is he is wise and every time he visits he tells adventourus stories. Gandalf is a old wise wizard, who isn’t interested in the gold the dwarves were looking for but to push Bilbo into a new life style.…

    The Fellowship of the Ring, an exciting and passionate novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien, captures the heroic conscience that lives within us all. In this remarkable novel, Tolkien displays how greed and envy have the power to destroy important promises made by partners, but how friendship and courage can fight them. This story displays a rare example of how one person can make a difference in the world. As one once said, "The world cannot be changed by a single person," however through the challenging series of adventures encountered by Frodo Baggins, the main character in this story, Tolkien convincingly contrasts this myth. To explore the aspect of the power of a single individual, Tolkien displays the brave soul a single individual can posses.…

    THE HOBBIT

    • 1521 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The Hobbit is set in "Middle-earth”, a fantasyland created by Tolkien. The book starts and ends in Hobbiton, a town in Middle Earth, a peaceful region usually unharmed by troubles elsewhere in the world. During the course of the book, the setting changes, moving east across the Misty Mountains and through the great forest of Mirkwood to the area around the Lonely Mountain, which includes the Desolation of Smaug, Lake-town, and the ruins of the town of Dale to face the devastating dragon. As the protagonist and his dwarf companions and Gandalf travel into lands "where people spoke strangely, and sung songs Bilbo had never heard before". And as they go farther and farther away from Bilbo's home, they find "dreary hills, rising higher and higher, dark with trees". The farther Bilbo goes into the unknown, the more the landscape reflects his discomfort, particularly the "old castles with an evil look". In addition, they meet new friends and enemies that either help or challenge their ultimate goal: to defeat Smaug.…

    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a fantastical story of good versus evil, friendship, and perseverance. I felt that this movie in comparison to the rest of the trilogy, most accurately represented the qualities in relation to the terms used in our textbook. The Fellowship is formed after the recent discovery of the Ring, which is capable of granting an immense wealth of power to any who wields it. The creation of the Fellowship is representative of a project team. A project team is a team created to complete specific, one-time projects or tasks within a limited time. A council is called to determine what to do with the Ring which a variety of characters are…
