Lord of The Rings.

Hi Guys!!!

This will be a short blog, I have the worst headache and I recently adopted insomnia, however, I need to write a blog for Journalism. So here we go.

The other day I was sat watching one of Pewdiepies videos and it had a Lord Of The Rings reference and it made me want to watch Lord Of The rings. Now having seen this film multiple times, including all the 4 hour versions, you'd think I'd have more to talk about than characterisation.

No but seriously, I think I was only 15 minutes into the first film and I just thought 'The characterisation in this film is beautiful'. It was Ian McKellen that made me realise, he's played villains, heroes, wizards, KINGS, he also narrates a lot. He even plays a gay in this new T.V series 'Vicious' (No, I'm not Blonde. I know he's gay in real life too) but that's besides the point. This man is a legend. As soon as I saw his first appearance in Lord Of The Rings, I seriously didn't realise how perfect his characterisation is. I used to do drama.. ONCE. And characterisation was pretty hard, you have to play roles that your mind is uncertain with. I know Liam will read this someday and tell me I'm stupid for saying characterisation is hard because he disagrees with most things I say. But really. It is difficult. And the way he does It so easily, sitting on his cart with Frodo being happy and then showing Bilbo he can be intimidating, it really did get to me. (This must be the Media/Film student inside me that I don't want to let out)

You can definitely tell that Gandalf's character was better than Frodo's at the start, it was just the way the acting went, Frodo was bland compared to him. But when you get the other characters such as Gimli and Legolas, you can't compare because they both come in a set and you automatically love them. They have the love/hate thing going on. It's cute.

AND SEAN BEAN. Please stop with the deaths! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE. Seeing you die in G.O.T is one thing, and dying in LORD OF THE RINGS is another. You're a good actor, stop taking on the roles where you die. You should take advice from your daughter. 'What do we say to death?' 'NOT TODAY!!!'

How to end this blog?

I KNOW! Then ending, there is a big debate on who the real hero is, it could be Frodo, or it could be Sam. Now in my personal opinion, I think Sam was the hero, he stuck with Frodo throughout, even when Frodo told him to go home, Sam came back. All Frodo did was carry a ring (I know it's all about having strength to resist the rings influence on your mind and well, all of you, but Frodo turned into a bitch with it) he just complained, talked about the shire too much, then gave Sam abuse about being a bully to Gollum, COME ON? Gollum had it coming to him. And Frodo almost ended up like him too! Sam was the real hero, Frodo was just the false hero. Who do you think the hero was?

Anyway, until next week. Goodbye!!! :)
