threeplusfireThere are a few movies I cry watching, just about every time. Some love stories, some just sad, some just awe inspiring. But I can't think of any other film that I've cried so many times during, so that I couldn't see the ashtray or my glass on the floor beside me.
I think what makes me cry and laugh the most in this film is the friendship and love so clearly shared, all of the people struggling to hope. It's heartbreaking and idealistic, the sort of thing I have so rarely allowed myself.
Some of the included scenes made Alan & I burst into laughter, especially the ones with Gimli and Legolas or Merry and Pippin finding the kitchen. Eowyn's stew sent us into fits. The new scenes with Boromir and Faramir explained why they choose to show things as they did, and I feel more comfortable with that now.
In short, the whole thing is bloody brilliant. These stories that colored my childhood live on the screen, and I couldn't be happier.
