"I love to send them off on their quest two, maybe three times a year, and I rarely let them finish it: not because I yearn for the suffering of tiny little guys, but because I put my own comfort above them. With all due respect to mists and mellow fruitfulness, Fellowship is autumn to me: as cosy and comforting as snuggling into a blanket with a hot chocolate."
"Most people I know agree that Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy is as close as we will ever get to cinematic perfection. Even on the small screen, the sweeping grandeur of the scenery is breathtaking and the emotional undercurrent that drives every scene pulls you out of your living room and into Middle-Earth. But no one can quite agree on which of the three is the best."
A seasonal ritual involves rewatching The Fellowship of the Ring multiple times yearly. The film functions as an autumnal comfort, comparable to snuggling with a blanket and hot chocolate. The Fellowship is favored for its new friendships, sense of duty, and clear boundaries between good and evil. The entire Lord of the Rings trilogy achieves cinematic grandeur with breathtaking scenery and emotional depth. Opinions vary over which instalment is best: some prefer The Two Towers for Helm's Deep, others Return of the King for closure. Fellowship's utopian camaraderie and moral clarity make it especially appealing.
