![]() ![]() Gandalf is shady as hell because he didn’t even give them a horse. Gandalf finds Frodo’s friend Sam and tells him to go with Frodo on this journey and he accepts. Via tenorįrodo is honestly taking this WAY too well. Gandalf explains that Frodo is the one that needs to take the ring mainly because he is too simple to use the ring for evil, which is rude AF. Gandalf throws the ring in the fire and asks Frodo what he sees he replies with ‘writings of some sort’. Frodo comes back to the home in hopes to find Bilbo, but he only sees Gandalf. Gandalf touches the ring and sees a fiery something and he stares at the fireplace repeating the words “my precious”. This ring needs to calm down with its pull! OOP! Bilbo is sounding like a creep with that new voice. He just wants to be on his own so he can finish his book. Honestly, Bilbo is such a relatable millennial. I’m honestly still waiting for my invite to the party.Īt the party, Bilbo gives a speech and leaves with the most dramatic exit ever thanks to the ring. Either way, I don’t trust him! Via tenorĪnyhoo, Gandalf is here to celebrate his bestie’s birthday and the party these hobbits are throwing seems to be the party of the century! Food, drinks, dancing, fireworks: they really have it all. Maybe it’s my PTSD from seeing the abuse Harry underwent with Dumbledore. Now, don’t get me wrong, as Gandalf is coming in through the Shire, he seems like a good time! He has fireworks, a pipe with the good shit, and stories and conversation for days! However, something is holding me back from trusting him fully. I loved seeing the love Gandalf has for the hobbits and a particular soft spot for Bilbo and our boy, Frodo. I also learned that this ring has had more people obsessed with it than partners I’ve had like damn.Īfter the ring is found by Bilbo Baggins the story fast forwards to 60 years later, where the world’s most traumatizing feet are beheld Via However, this paired with the war over the ring is so wonderfully done. It began to lull me to sleep because of how soothing her voice is. Experience spoilers!) The Beginningįirst off the opening being said in Elvish sounded way too pretty. ( WARNING: If you have NOT seen Lord of the Rings, you will be 1. So, let’s go!!!I hope you enjoy essentially a live feed of my thoughts throughout the film. In this final chance, there will be no variables, Spanish-speaking hobbits or sleep deprived schedules, “I will be well rested, caffeinated, and fed!”Īfter its release 21 years ago, I’ve finally seen LOTR. As Gandalf arrived to the Shire, my exhaustion caught up to me, causing me to fall asleep and randomly wake up about three times within this 3 hour time span.Īfter this time, I swore that my third time would be my final attempt. ![]() As I laid down on the couch, I grew more and more comfortable as I listened to the Elvish words spoken. I shared my LOTR secret and they, like my cousins, wanted to expose me to the film. My exhaustion was hidden by my excitement of seeing my friends. On one of these reunion dates, I was traveling to Staten Island via ferry at 7 PM after a 7-hour work shift that started at 6 AM and two courses. When we were finally back together, we would stay at one another’s houses and watch movies with some drinks and food. I vowed I’d try watching it again, but in English.įast forward to my undergraduate college years: Many of my high school friends went away to college which made the time together during breaks that more awesome. Naturally, I gave up attempting to watch it since my brain was too overwhelmed with the environment I was watching in. They forgot the whole reason why we crowded in front of the TV. Everything was fine until my cousins began speaking to one another in rapid-fire Spanish while Spanish dubbed LOTR with English subtitles was playing in the background. Thankfully, my bilingual brain wasn’t going into overdrive too badly. They pop in the movie and its audio is in Spanish, but they so graciously put on the English subtitles for me. My Spanish -speaking cousins were so excited to share this momentous occasion with me. The first time I attempted to watch, I was fourteen years old and visiting my family in Spain. However, this wasn’t from a lack of trying. So you can imagine how it’s a shock to many when I admit that I’ve never seen THE fantasy trilogy of all fantasy trilogies: Lord of the Rings. One that teaches me about my own world, making a commentary of it. I love when a world is painted for me so well that I can immerse myself in it. I can tell you the meaning of life (*cough* 42 *cough*) give you the remedy for most poisons ( bezoar) and light something on fire with perfectly pronounced High Valyrian ( Dracarys) My point is: My name is Claudia and I thoroughly adore fantasy literature and media. ![]()
