I'm not going to write a movie review here. I mean, what's the point when half the world's movie-watchers have had already watched the film. Lord of The Ring has gotten to be the best movie ever produced, and many scenes were just so breathtaking- the backdrop, the stories, the scale.
Anyhow, the thing about watching a very good movie is such that it is very controversial. Not that I don't know the stories are fictitious, but that they always have the tendency to meddle with the mind- making us live a life of surreality, for the next few days at least. I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same, but when I enjoy the satisfaction that ran for 9 hours straight (the trilogy by the way), or any prolonged enjoyment, there is always this high likeability of my mind becoming "poisoned"- a literal escapade from the real world. No matter how unfortunate a way the play might proceed in, I never fail to notice the pleasant things in it- something which I more often than not fail to do so in the real life. For instance, the torment that Frodo suffered from carrying the ring, yet the establishment of a genuine brotherhood, and the adventures that entail. Anyone?
I call this the good-film hangover by the way. And that basically means the envy that engulfs the audience so much so that they desire something of the same. Many a times, such things turn out to become tragedies, like that of the imitation of Superman. Assessing that again, it certainly sounds like that the juniors are the ones that are most susceptible to such "assault", but an 18 year old overage me is far from being spared (not to the extremity kind though).
