The Real Middle Earth - LORD OF THE RINGS DOCUMENTARY (Narrated by Sir Ian Holm)

Narrated by Bilbo himself.

Never forget JRR fought in the World’s most fearful battle; The Battle of the Somme with who? The Lancashire Fusiliers (Incidentally Uk’s most decorated regiment ((7 VC’s before breakfast)) before u say the Lancashire connection is ‘tenuous’..

I'm talking about the book the hobbit.

I remember this book and my mother read it to me when I was a little girl.

Great works, How did he know about today's two great evils, XI and Putin?

If yahll like this. Well id suggest to watch .." Tolkiens fantasy world of Monster's and myths"...from "The clash of the God's !" Its really great lil documentary!!

I've read them all many times since I was about 12 years old, that was more than 40 years ago.
Having grown up outside of Dallas, Texas, and watched the spread of masses of people take over many quiet country places, that were cross between farmland, and ranches raising cattle.
Here once more after fleeing the crowds of people, houses, and industrial parks.
I find myself once more being swallowed by man's greed, by that I have discovered that when the older generations that refused to sell the family farms and ranches.
Yet as they start dying off, the those of their children quickly sell off for what they consider substantial amounts of money to they're shallow greedy minds.
The developers, the hyper greedy are the greedy ones, as they make many times over the pitiful amounts they paid those of the one's that had worked these lands for several generations.
With the thought that they were preserving the lands of their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents before them for their great grandchildren, and hopefully many more after those.
Yet as soon as the last one left is gone, the lands are almost immediately sold off.
At the rates that these lands are being developed, won't be too many more generations left that raise the foods that have fed our country for many many years will be all but gone.
Then the giant hydroponics growers will be all that's left in the world to feed the people who are left.
So that's always been my take of the stories since first reading his novels.
When everything you know starts to change, and not necessarily for the best in my mind, and many others.
You imagine yourself as one of the characters in the books, and the developer's buying up everything become the evil side of the stories, because of they're greed, and not willing to accept no for whatever it is that they want.
Stopping at nothing to aquire what it is that they want, and it plays along with these lands disappearing faster than one could possibly imagine.
Once quiet country roads with few people, but vast numbers of livestock, and the creatures of the open pastures, as well of the deep forest become entrapped by more and more houses people, but worst of the vehicles that take the lives of these creatures that have been in these places before man was ever seen by a small percentage of their ancestors.
I've wondered many fields, rivers, creeks through deep woods, and seen the end results of mankind on these locations.
I understand that people need a place to live, but it seems that the places where the farmers and ranchers live in harmony with the creatures around them.
Is the places that are bought up for these massive housing projects, and yet the land better suited for nothing but sparse grasses, rocks, that serves no importance towards feeding the masses of people are left unoccupied well after the ground that had the ability to feed ourselves is consumed instantly.
As a youngster I looked at the houses buildings and roads as eating the land taking all the joy from every creature that once lived there.
Those that thought they had gotten a fortune from the sale of the lands that their ancestors had worked tirelessly to make it something to give them when they're turn was to care for the land, raise the foods to feed our country and a home forever for the next generations to follow.
They soon have wasted what money they got for these places is long gone, and now they're surrounded by masses of people they don't know the names of and who knows nothing about them.
The quiet peaceful countryside farmers and ranches will never be again, the people that once knew everyone in the community are long gone with nothing to show for the generations of work.
Is a couple areas, are maybe a street named for them, and some small cemetery surrounded by track homes starting to reach the point where they're determining.
No one comes to tend the grave stones the weeds have taken over, the fence has been mangled by machinery mowing outside the cemetery, the headstones knocked over broken, and all but forgotten except by a few kids wondering late at night.
This is the meaning I take from his stories.
I'm sure everyone one who has read these books has the imagination to see themselves and the places they grew up as the places in his writings.

Where is the supremacy of 'the last alliance of men and elves.' This alone proves that the basis is working together to defeat a common evil.

Middle Earth does exist.

Scandinavia Fylke are a village in Norway and Finnish langues deep forests are Scandinavia Some part I belove for he was here So Have memories from Scandinavia 🤔✌️🙏❤️🇪🇺🇸🇪

The Shire lays in Flanders Fields and Beyond 😢
I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew that as the years went by

Anti The Negatives of Modernism and Industrialism
It’s how these things are used
Such as the Train over the Car

I thought the movies were shot in New Newzealand.

Definitely not set in East Anglia. The misty mountains would have to be renamed the misty slight inclines.

When Patrick Curry was speaking about other cultures not recognizing English rural life, but their own forms of that, I was reminded that people all over the world see and praise the musical, "The Fiddler On The Roof", in the same way. For example, when the play was first brought to Japan, there really were not that great of hope for its success, but some people had requested it, so . . . Come to find out, many folks felt that this play, about a Jewish milkman and his family, reflected rural life in Japan that many recognized. It's the same with Tolkien's books, in that many see and appreciate the simpler life of a farmer, (at least to those that are NOT farmers), and are wistful that they can't have that sort of life.

I look upon The Lord of the Rings as a glorified Sunday morning walk, but I guess that's just me.

I bought used 1st printing of every book in LOTR, including The Hobbit, they were barely used, and later the DVD series. Best books and films on the planet. Absolutely.
