Brain Wave Vibration in “Lord of the Rings?”
J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy and "Hobbit" novel have been thrust into the spotlight once again, as film director Peter Jackson is currently shooting two more films for the franchise. Most know the general story by now, but many overlook one of the most important aspects of the books.
The general idea is that a hobbit named Frodo must take an evil ring to a treacherous land called Mordor and destroy it by throwing it into a volcano. The films spend a lot of time showing the action of this epic quest, with battles and long roads for each of the major characters – and this certainly a major part of the story.
Yet at it's heart, the books are about an inner struggle. The ring has limitless power and tempts the bearer repeatedly. Frodo is chosen to carry the ring because he is of strong will and can be trusted with it – even though he is probably the most frail out of all the characters in the books.
In the end, it is Frodo's positive thinking and sheer willpower that staves off evil and wins the day. We wouldn't be surprised if Frodo was using a bit of Brain Wave Vibration to project his positive thoughts and shape the world around him.
Those who don't have the time or energy to go through the books will be happy to know that Jackson doesn't skip much when he films the movies – they've all quite long, but they cover each novel pretty thoroughly, unlike many Hollywood adaptations.
