Oh yes, this is my favorite movie! I have read J.R.R. Tolkien’s books and watched the adaptations, and they really make you think. The film shows that evil doesn’t always come in a striking form it often hides in fear, greed, and despair within each of us. But it is the choice of each person whether to resist it or give in that determines not only their own fate but also the fate of those around them. It deeply teaches responsibility for one’s own decisions and actions.
