Around 14 years ago I used to the PanchaThanthira stories, I am not sure whether that is the book which I read, the book goes like this, it will narrate with a incident and then the incident goes to another story and where in some other story unfolds and the cycle repeats. This was one of my favorite during my primary school days, I don’t remember exactly the book was around 500 pages and it took me several days to complete the book and it had around in them several short stories, watching Lord of the Rings brought me back those memories after a very long time, though this movie does not have any connection with the book except that both deal with mythological time and stories.
I wanted to watch the movie after I have read the book, but these days I really don’t have the patience to read a novels (I am struggling to finish the novel Crisis by Robin Hook) so I went ahead to watch this movie. I am still thinking about the hard work that would have went into complete this movie, it had some sets which even nature would like to have a look upon it. I am still left with the last trilogy The Return of the King, I just completed watching the Fellowship and two towers, 7 hours approx in total length, and it sure had something in it coz it kept me entertained somehow or other. I have watched three trilogies, Matrix, Pirates and Lords of the Rings; I personally feel each has a class of its own and it is so difficult to compare one with each other.
The story is so simple, to destroy a ring, that’s all, it is really amazing to think of how the story unfolds part by part, how 9 people join together for a quest to destroy the ring. I really miss watching this great movie in the big screen. Of all the things that are happening in this world, there is some good left over in this world and they are worth fighting for, as Sam tells this Frodo in the movie, I do think of the movies that are produced, I do feel there are some great movies like this that are worth watching. Entish the language of the trees that was conceptualized in Two Towers was interesting, on a second thought it had something to be revealed that there are lives inside trees that needs to be taken care of and it was good to watch trees joining into the war against the war for the fell of Men
