Painful beauty

[Knight of Gondor]

"Wishing to be in Middle-Earth"...<P>Do you know, I think this is a part of WHY it is so painfully beautiful? We don't just want to sit there and watch, or at least most of us don't. We want to be a part of it! When looking at such amazing, breath-taking things as we see in the LotR movies, we want to be a part of it! Even though a large part of the beauty is derived from the beautiful music and some digital wizardry. I know I personally would go to ME like a flash. Even with computers and cars and whatnot, ME still seems almost more ideal! No orcs are going to sue you for wanton endangerment...no political activists screaming about an unjust war on Uruk-hai...live by your wits and bravery. Wouldn't exactly work like that, I know, but it still, in the romanticised idea of it, sounds good.
