I would not call it pointless either. For me it was something I could relate to personally, rather than the huge, all-encompassing battle for Middle-Earth, with all it's inherent noble heroes, sinister villians and intrigue. My life is much simpler and I found it empowering to read of the now wiser Hobbits returning home and claiming what is theirs, liberating and protecting their family and friends. It was just so easy to relate to - poignant I think. <P>I cannot envision how the Hobbits will return to the Shire in the film. It can't be unchanged from when they left, can it? There will have to be some time lapse at the end, because I've seen that Elanor will be in it, and a few years old to boot. December seems quite a ways away, n'est pas?<p>[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]
