#suffering for their attempts to resist conquest and ultimately in the face of despair choosing to face death without hope than flee

[daisyachain]

either I’m making this up or some of Bilbo’s fight choreography in The Hobbit is directly modelled off of Sam’s style of movement from LoTR D’:

#the hobbit movies make so many changes but we’re watching them again and I can’t say they were wrong! #kelsey liveblogs tolkien #just aaaaaaah redoubling and reinforcing the eternal tragedy of the dwarves hating evil more than they love good #suffering for their attempts to resist conquest and ultimately in the face of despair choosing to face death without hope than flee #and drawing the parallel between Bilbo (a homebody longing to return) and the dwarves of Erebor (people longing to have a home again)??? #genius!! sure there were unnecessary bits and time wasted but you can see the care and passion each actor puts into their movements. #sideways glances and who’s standing next to who give the entire cast away in the limited time they have! #they build up thorin into a tragic king pursuing his inheritance—more like book Aragorn than even movie Aragorn was at time #Fili becomes a worried older brother doing his best with limited experience and an unhinged uncle #Kili is a young hero who thinks he’s he main character #and all of them…anyway I love these films
