The Lord of The Rings trilogy

Each of the stories is very spectacular!!! I am not just talking about the setting but the story itself is such a good story. No wonder they won Oscar.
The story begins in a small village in Shire (it was somewhere in middle earth) where a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherited a sacred ring that have a strong power from his beloved uncle. In order to protect the Ring from The evil Sauron who wants the ring for himself (he wants to use the power to rule the world), Frodo must undergo a long journey that full of dangers to Mordor. He has to destroy the Ring by throwing it into the Mountain. Since it is a dangerous journey, Frodo is not alone. His friends accompany him. They are Sam (a very loyal friend, if you have such a nice friend like him, I am sure you will feel secure :p), Merry and Pippin (who look like twins), Gandalf, Legolas (an elf, I think he looks like metro sexual :p), Gimli (a dwarf), Boromir, and last but not least Aragorn. That is why they called as The Fellowship of The Ring. On the way to Mordor, they face danger and adventure.
I recommend you to watch those three movies, The Fellowship of The Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of The King, if you have not watched it yet. The Lord of The Rings is adapted from the books written by J. R. R Tolkien in 1930s - 1940s and the first volume was published in 1954. I have ever watched in a TV program saying that actually the story was inspired by the situation at that time. Some characters created by J. R. R Tolkien were based on some real characters lived at that time. I do not know whether it is true or not, but text (in this matter the story) is always interconnected with the situation and condition around it. May be if I had a chance to interview Mr. Tolkien, I would ask him about this :)
Overall, we can get many lessons from the movies, such as friendship, trust, loyalty, and betrayal. I give two thumbs up for the movies…:)

Becoming Jane

Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

film ini bcerita tentang kisah hidup Jane Austen semasa muda. Jane Austen adalah seorang pengarang Inggris yang terkenal dengan karyanya Pride and Prejudice trus Sense and Sensibility, dll. Yg main Anne Hathaway (Princess Diaries 1-2, Devil wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain) sm James McAvoy (The Last King of Scotland). Kisahnya dimulai waktu si Jane ud menginjak dewasa trus ibunya sibuk nyariin jodoh yg tepat buat Jane. Tapi Jane yang seneng menulis, punya prinsip ngga mau nikah sama orang yang ngga dia cintai cm demi status n harta. Sementara si ibu ud punya jodoh yg tepat buat Jane, cowo dari kalangan terpandang, anak org kaya gt d. Nah, pas kakaknya Jane pulang kampung, dia bw temen, temen kakaknya ini cowok kota yg hobi main tinju jalanan n mabuk2an. tp sebenernya dia pinter bin cerdas. Cowo ini yg main james mcavoy. Trus s Jane naksir sm cowo ini (cowonya belajar hukum). Meski sama2 suka tp hub mrk dapat tentangan dari pihak Jane maupun si cowo (nama perannya kalo ngg salah Tom Lefroy). Singkat cerita, Jane ngga bisa nikah sm cowo ini, n memilih utk ngga menikah seumur hidup. KEREN!!! Sebenernya jane punya kesempatan buat kawin lari sm tom tp jane ngga mau karena ngg mau nyusahin keluarga tom maupun keluarga jane. What a wise girl!!! Trus meski ngga bisa bersatu, ternyata mrk te2p saling mencintai, buktinya anak sulung s tom di kasih nama Jane. Mencintai bkn berarti harus memiliki kan??! Yg paling aku suka dari film ini adalah keputusan Jane untuk ngga menikah seumur hidupnya n memilih hidup dengan penanya sbg penulis. Jane ngga peduli anggapan masyarakat pd wkt it tentang penulis perempuan, Jane jg ud siap hidup miskin dr menulis drpd menikah sm cowo kaya yg ngga dia cintai,cewek yang punya prinsip d pokoknya. SALUT!!! Menurutku sh, cerita becoming jane ini menginspirasi bgt, khususnya buat perempuan muda ky kt2 ini.Jane punya semangat yg kuat buat jd penulis,dia siap dengan pilihan hidupnya n resikonya, n yg pasti jane ini cerdas n ngga peduli anggapan masyarakat.,trus dia jg siap berjuang demi mimpi n cita2nya n prinsip hidupnya.
Denger2, kisah nyata yg dialami jane inilah yg menginspirasi dia buat nulis novel Pride and Prejudice. Karakter s tom lefroy menjadi dasar dr karakter mr.darcy di novel ini.
