I've put on some blokes watching The Two Towers in the background while I put my new shelves together, these guys are total naives about Lord of The Rings. They have so many questions! ( The answer is Gandalf is a Maiar ( an angel/bodhisattva ) ) who has a human body , he is vulnerable even if he is immortal )
It's nice to hear the fresh takes.๐
I have watched it so often, read the books decades ago, listened, been part of forums, read books on lore, the world is like second nature to me. I imagine my experience is like people who work on a movie, any movie, and have seen it hundreds of times.
Total respect on movie artists, how they can keep the image/vision of what they are striving for constant and fresh ( and yet I know they adapt and change what they do in editing
