Fellowship of the Ring

"An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign! Written by Paul Twomey" --Taken from IMDB.com

Maybe you've seen LOTR before--let's watch it together on a deeper level.  This film is packed with symbolism and connections to our Christian faith.  From sin, temptation, and evil to friendship, love, and hope--this story will have us asking questions and looking at our own lives.  Let's not just be "entertained" by this movie.  Let's dig deeper and see what we can discover together!

HSCCB Movie Review:
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring -- Visually splendid adventure tale set in the mythical realm of Middle-earth where a humble Hobbit (Elijah Wood), assisted by eight faithful companions (including Ian McKellen), embarks on a perilous quest to destroy a ring which possess the ultimate source of dark power. Based on the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy, director Peter Jackson's fantasy is true to the epic struggle of good versus evil and uses magnificent effects and location shots. Yet its myriad characters prove daunting and the narrative grows repetitive. Many scenes of battle violence with several frightening images. A-III -- adults. (PG-13) 2001
