<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Starbreeze:<BR><STRONG>Hey! Did anyone else notice some rather dodgey scenes in the FOTR? (I apologise to anyone who does not wish to read this, go home now ) Well, I didn't notice the first time I went but the second time there were some quite....umm, homoerotic... scenes. For example, when Boromir is wrestling the ring from Frodo he lies on top of him yelling "give it to me, give it to me" and of course, there is the "farewell kiss" from Aragorn to Boromir, and did anyone see the way Sam looks at Frodo in the last scene? I'm sure there were more, and there were definately more in the book, but I can't remember them right now. One asks if the Two Towers will be as, ummm, not suitable for young children? Did anyone slse notice this, or was it just me, and were there any others, and were they deliberate? </STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>aren't we a little homophobe? <BR>kissing someone goodbye after they die is a very common griefing ritual in many cultures. Aragorn kisses Boromir goodbye as his King, not as a guy who would have wanted to get cozy with him.<BR>Sam and Frodo are best friends, Sam would die for Frodo. What is wrong with that? Then there is Boromir wrestling Frodo... so he wants the ring? It is OUR minds that make something out of nothing. None of the movies are suited for children due to the violent content. The Two Towers is going to be rated R because it is rather violent, not because of imgagined 'homoerotic' subplot. *shakes her head*<BR>some people...<P>
