I don't have a problem with nudity at all, but I actually do think LOTR is an example of a world where sexual tones in general isn't very fitting.. It's all very romantic and epic.. but very far from sexual... It just wouldnt fit the tone of the universe very well.

@@nathanielroffel4304 I mean I have to disagree with your premise that having sexual content means that it is pornographic... I think it's perfectly fine to have sexual content and I don't think portraying people having sex is inherently pornographic. I don't know where you are from, but I find that many americans are taught to be afraid of nudity and have a very different view of nudity in media than I do... I grew up in the 90's where Danish films(I'm danish :P ) would often have casual nudity and semi-sexual content for films ment for kids.. It wasn't pornographic or a big deal.. To me, it is all about the tone of the universe.. sex is appropriate for a world that is grounded and is ment to feel relateable... Tolkien is epic and grand..fantastical.. it's like folklore.. so having things like sex would feel off.
@nathanielroffel43043 жыл бұрын
@@MaMastoast I agree. And yes, I do agree that nudity is not always sexual or pornographic, but the ways that the potential nudity has been presented are similar to that of GoT, which, at times, is extremely pornographic. There is a time and place for nudity, tasteful or not (depending on one's perspective), but I agree with you that this is not the place. Hypersexualization is a scourge on popular media, and it should have no place in this universe, because it is not a component that was ever important to the story. Yes there are intimate relationships in LotR, but the intimacy is not focalized on sex or sexuality, which runs completely counter to modern North American culture. Sex, in a lot of ways, isn't even seen as intimate anymore, which means it has even less of a reason to be there, considering that LotR is about platonic intimacy, friendship, and love
@MaMastoast3 жыл бұрын
@@nathanielroffel4304 Hmm I think game of thrones has elements of both non pornographic sexual content and clearly pornographic sexual content.. We may differ in opinion here, but as an example; I think the scene of Danaerys being raped by kharl drogo is clearly explicit and sexual but I wouldn't call it pornographic.. it has a good reason to be there and helps us understand the characters and the kind of world we find ourselves in On the other hand, the scene with one of the sand snakes pressing her tits up against the prison bars with the camera lingering on her body is obviously pornographic. My perception of american culture is that they seem to be very much ashamed of it, something to hide and something as innocent as a nude body should be kept away from kids ect... at the same time there is obviously also the sexualisation you mentioned going on.. And I think the two inform eachother. But yea, think you struck a nail with regards to intimacy.. LOTR is full of it, close bonds and relationships.. be it romantic or friendly.. It's more on an a existential level rather than physical.. Similarly we wouldn't expect a long torture scene in LOTR; and while we can certainly imply that torture happens.. it's more about the dread rather than gore.

I think the point about nakedness is really important though, they got a laugh but honestly it is a big theme in the entire world. This scene illustrates both the innocence of the hobbits and the nature of Tom as the master. Compare that chapter with Homeward Bound in Book 3 and the particular loss of innocence of Frodo but really all of the hobbits. Non-sexual love and acceptance, a brotherhood that drew these hobbits, then men, elf and dwarf as close as family is the central theme of the story. Our society these days look at that and say it has to be sexual and homoerotic, the depiction of Aragon's masculinity, the devotion Sam has to Frodo and the love Frodo has for Sam back Gimli and legolas love for each other transcends ancient hatred of each others race.

“There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.”

Very Old Testament. The Catholic mythologizing of Tolkien is more or less what ruined it for me. Angels and saints: we don't need no stinking Ainur. By the by: my father bought the first edition as it came out (fold out maps) and I first read the Hobbit in primary school, LotR by 8th grade. I was a founding member of the Tolkien Society of America and met WH Auden at one of their get togethers. This was before the ACE paperbacks were issued and the exclusivity of the whole world fell apart, but that's not my complaint. LotR is a rousing adventure with mostly 2 dimensional characters in a fight of good against evil. But it's not great literature. Oh, well.

@@AuntieDawnsKitchen I interpret the Holy Ones as analogous to the old testament angels (Lucifer, Gabriel, Astoroth, et al.) Under a monotheistic conceiver, the Tetragramaton, Yahweh called whatever suits you. LoTR is more nordic than the middle earth theology expounded in the Silmarilion. Just sayin'.

Does anybody else know Billy Boyd best as Coxswain Barrett Bonden from "Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World"? Also, 2:22, Dom's face when they're about to introduce the song, he literally became Merry Brandybuck for a second and my heart exploded.

Me-grinning like a loon watching this whole thing. I soooo wish they'd release an extended extended extended edition of the movies. I'd so buy it-be about the only new LOTR movie set I would dish out more money for. Well-unless they release a "nudity enhanced" LOTR edition lol.

I think the closest they came to nudity in the films was that dream sequence of Aragorn's, when Arwen (Liv Tyler) stands in the sunlight, wearing a diaphanous gown that becomes semi-see-through for a brief moment. That was pretty much it, so far as anything of that nature. And she looked fantastic, of course.
