<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>however; I have no idea if Tolkien was a Calvinist, and really, it doesn't matter.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well, he was a Catholic, so definitely not a Calvinist then, and it <I>does</I> matter, but on a level that I don't think really relates to the movies a whole lot. And anyway, while the friends described above say that there is "too much" religion in the movies, I could think of about twenty people off the top of my head (I live in North Carolina ) who would argue that there is "not enough" religion in the movies, and "evil" "pagan" influences run amock. Everyone sees what they want to see.
