For most movies - especially fantasy movies - we put logic and reasoning on hold and forget that magic doesn't exist and that Bruce Willis probably isn't bulletproof. That's suspension of disbelief.
But have you ever stopped suspending your disbelief and thought - if only this happened, the whole movie would be completely different? I think we all have at some point, haven't we?
Will you suspend your suspension with me now and watch a clever little video about the Lord of the Rings which will leave you asking ... "Yeah - why didn't it happen that way?"
.
Because it would be very short and boring book? :) LOTR one of my favourites books. And after movie came out I got another nick name: 'Legolas' :D
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah I can see that as being your nickname!!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I'm going to free my inner geek for a second...
ReplyDeleteTolkein was asked about this before he died. His response was that the King of the Eagles didn't want to get involved in the wars of the other races, so wouldn't let any of his subjects help in this way. Maybe that was the reason for the blindfold? Even taking that into account they would have been too proud to let themselves be blindfolded.
Ok, I'm putting the geek back in his cage now.
>sigh<
ReplyDeleteOh, Aides! You're such a killjoy today. I suppose the next thing you'll be telling me Tim isn't really dead, he's just been shifted to a different version of Earth!*
*or something equally bizare.
Oh now Sez, you know I wouldn't dare cross Shannon and spill any of his secrets. If I do, my next character might not last 30 mins.
ReplyDeleteYeah but wouldn't that be cool?!
