You are so right, Brady.

The clearest message LOTR gives and it absolutely spells it out is that there is good and there is evil and evil always seeks to destroy good and what will YOU do about it.

Since the message is so clear, those who don't like the message try to twist it to their own agenda, i.e., environmentalism, etc.

Listening to the commentary by the cast on the new Two Towers Extended Edition dvd, I heard Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis saying it was actually an anti-war film. Thankfully, Sean Astin was also commenting and told them that while it was not a 'pro-war' film, it was a pro fighting for what is worth fighting for story.

Liberals who like the film, or took part in making it, like Viggo and Serkis, find it very difficult to twist the story's theme, but try they do.

When the first Lord of the Rings came out NPR interviewed the head of Green Peace who talked about how his intrusion into a nuclear facility reminded him of the hobbit's attempt to destroy the one ring.
