Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

 

This is the first of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and briefly explains how the ring was forged.

 

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

 

A battle start afterwards because the elves learn of Saurons plans to rule over all the other rings bearers and they remove their rings.  That happens many centuries before the main part of the story and this is where we begin the best movie trilogy and movies ever, ever made.

Seriously, these films are that good.  In fact, I order you to buy them now!  Just kidding.

The beginning of the movies returns back to bag end where Bilbo Baggins lives.  Frodo who isn’t his direct descendant but adopted by himself.  Here is a scene in the movie where Gandalf has come to visit Bilbo on the eve of his eleventy eventh birthday.  It’s also Frodos birthday; I think he was thirty three.  So Gandalf

Travels to Bag End to give Bilbo an enjoyable birthday and to discuss something more important.  When Gandalf gets to Bag End he finds that Bilbo is acting in a quear way; (Look it up in the book if you don’t believe that this sort of language was used).   It turns out that that I think this other family are called the Bag Shots or something like that have been really angry since Bilbo has made Frodo his heir, and the fact that he has lived a strangely long life. (These are one of the gifts of the ring.)

 

 

Blibo tells Gandalf of the effects that the ring has had on himself; he says that he feels like butter spread too thinly of bread and no I don’t really understand what he meant by that statement.  He has decided that after his birthday celebrations, he is going to leave Bag End forever and that Frodo would be the sole recipient of everything in Bag End; that would also include the ring.

So you’re going through with this.  The party is as always an enjoyable experience and no one wanted to ever miss one of gandalfs fireworks displays.  When the party goers have drunk and ate enough, Bilbo stands up and basically  tell the Hobbits to get stuffed and put the ring on; (that turns him invisible and he leaves the party to remove it at the edge of town.)

 

In the film it’s an almost instantaneously period between Gandalf leaving and returning but, in the book Frodo doesn’t leave Bag End until he’s over seventy.  So Gandalf turns up and tells Frodo of the fact that Sauron has returned and is looking for his ring.  The two of the decide to take it to Rivendale the home of the elves,  when Gandalf become aware of someone outside the window listening in

to their conversation, who turns out to be Sam.  He offers to help Frodo take to ring to Rivendale as well.

 

So off to Rivendale they go but on the way they bump into Merry and Pippin, who are being chased by a farmer for stealing some of his crops.  They decided to join the party and go to Rivendale as well. 

 

I could tell you everything about the first film but then what point would there be for yourself to watch them.  Let’s just say that this is brilliant.
