If you’d asked me two years ago what “The Lord of the Rings” was, I would have guessed that it was some modern movie franchise. “Lord of the Rings” (LOTR), “Game of Thrones,” “Lord of the Flies,” and “Dungeons and Dragons” were all the same to me. I didn’t know what they were, nor did I care. I assumed that they had lots of computer-generated violence and no traditional values.
However, when my sister started watching the Peter Jackson trilogy because of an interest in Elijah Wood (who played Frodo in the LOTR films), I, too, became an LOTR fan.
