Battery Supliers then proceeded to insert a fragment of an interview that Sean Astin conducted on the legacy of The Lord of the Rings. User Battery Supliers answered a question generated automatically by the service, and this was “what is your favorite moment of an interview with a celebrity?”. How did social media find out? Well, thanks to the magic of TikTok. Weeks later Astin has once again been the protagonist of a memory related to The Lord of the Rings, but involuntarily: in fact, some statements that he gave long ago have been virtualized, some years after the premiere of The Return of the King. It was recently the case of Sean Astin, recalling Jackson’s irate behavior on set and how the New Zealand filmmaker had told him the most painful thing he had ever heard throughout his career. On an individual basis, some member of the team has also had to respond to this event. In recent weeks, the world of cinema has celebrated it is very varied and, perhaps, disorganized ways: from a nostalgic meeting on account of the pandemic to an ambitious remastering of the entire Middle-earth saga (that is, both of El Lord of the Rings as from The Hobbit) that Peter Jackson undertook after noticing certain visual inconsistencies. Tolkien, later adapted by Peter Jackson, were always very close.Ībout two decades after the premiere of The Fellowship of the Ring, it is time to celebrate the anniversary of a saga so essential for contemporary popular cinema as The Lord of the Rings. precious!Īll races have exceptions, even the Maiar and Valar have fellows like Sauron and Melkor.ĭefinitely those three would fall on their backs laughing at a bunch of gay hobbit jokes.The protagonists of the J.R.R. Innocent resilience to evil, a devotion to all nature things, deep loyalty to their friends and always true to themselves.īut.on the other hand, there was GOLLUM. That is also why Treebeard had an unusual interest and consideration with the little ones. That was Gandalf's main reason for allowing Frodo to carry the ring. They simply won't go against their basic nature, even if attracted in someway to the same sex. right guys?īecause of their nature, homosexuality or "gay behaviour" means nothing to hobbits, they can't understand it. You understand deep brotherly childhood true friendship without malice. There are overtones, used to make emphasis on the deep emotional connection between hobbits. The movie is somewhat different than the book, lacking the background and explanation of the hobbit race. They had innocent moments of discovery mixed with harsh growing-up experiences during the difficult times of the war of the ring. The kind of relationship between Frodo and Sam, Merry and Pippin, was similar to the human childhood best friends. Tolkien reminded us of their inmature condition, by constantly making them trip and do stupid things like attracting the "enemy" attention. The "problem" with Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, was that they were still younglings. Its somewhat explained in the introduction of the trilogy and during the first chapters of the books. They lack the malice and the lascivous behaviour of the Satyr.Ĭontrary to the satyrs, the adult hobbit is a formal guy, extremely ritualistic and methodical, a behaviour that is in contrast with their chaotic younglings.Ĭomming on age and leaving behind the chaotic ways, is a crucial moment in the lives of hobbits. They have a very long childhood and usually they reach adulthood before developing a mature way of seeing and doing things.

Satyrs were usually pursuing the nymphs, playing music (imitating their chief Pan), getting drunk and sleeping with man or woman. Satyrs were a happy lazy group of glutons and pranksters. Satyrs were modeled after the mischievious Pan, the half man half goat god, that had an instrumental part in the orgiastic feasts known by the romans as bacchanals. Greeks and Romans told us that these creatures were a part of natures realm, subordinates of greek god Dionysus (also known as Bacchus, the roman god of wine and wild good times). Most literature scholars coincide that hobbits are the equivalent of the satyrs. His world was inspired and created from the adaptation of diverse mythos, from all cultures that had instilled the english world with a part of its beliefs and knowledge. Myths, legends from the old world facinated him. His academic role in the university was highly praised and was commonly considered as an understanding and tolerant guy.
