The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring vs A Walk to Remeber

Greetings my gentle viewers, Nollaf is back to review more movies, but this time in a different manner. After a bit of an argument in 6th Period over wither to watch the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings or A Walk to Remember, I have decided the prove to those fools that the Lord of the Rings is twice the novel and film that a Walk to Remember will ever be. Well, shall I begin? Starting with Protagonists and Antagonists.

Protagonists

LOTR: Frodo Baggins, a young hobbit who is the nephew of Bilbo Baggins. He is a frailly quite lad who inherits a magical ring (which turns out to be link between the reincarnation of the Dark Lord, Sauron) which holds terrible power and must cast it into the depths of a volcano on the other side of the continent, Mount Doom.

AWTR: Landon Carter, a son of a rich family, although Sparks described him as a "typical teenage boy". Landon is the name of Sparks' third son. Hegbert did not like Landon for how the latter's grandfather's wealth was accumulated and has deemed him, in the words of Sparks, a "sort of aimless" lad. Eventually, Hegbert let Landon out with Jamie for he saw positive changes in his attitude.

Winner: Frodo Baggins (LOTR)

Antagonists

LOTR: Sauron, the dark lord of the wastelands of Mordor who commands thousands of horrific aberrations called orcs and lurks at his hellish citadel of Bara'Dur. His physical body was destroyed in ages past but his will was so powerful that it allowed him to continue to exist as an incorporeal flaming, all seeing eye atop of his tower of madness and utter evil. Tolkien made him to represent evil as whole, simple evil, and at it's core a single minded vision and intolerance to all difference or racism is you will.


AWTR: Revered Sullivan, a highly religious reverend who refuses to allow the two lovers to be together. He is also the father of the female protagonist, Jammie.

Winner: Sauron (LOTR)

Primary Female Protangists

LOTR: Eowyn, a sheildmaiden of the kingdom of Rohan, located in the eastern plains of Middle Earth next to the Misty Mountains. She has an iron will and is good with a sword, she even utterly destroyed one of Sauron's lead lieutenants, The Lord of the Nazgul.

AWTR: Jammie Sullivian, the daughter of the Beaufort church minister Hegbert Sullivan. Jamie, whose name was taken from Sparks' editor, Jamie Raab,has leukemia; however, the novel presents her fate ambiguously that had Sparks receive frequently asked questions from readers if she did live or die.

Winner: Eowyn (LOTR)

Mentor-Like Figures

LOTR: Gandalf, an elderly wizard with powers over the elements. He took on a Balrog single handily in the Mines of Moria.

AWTR: ...someone, anyone?

Winner: Gandalf (LOTR)

Main Soundtack Piece

LOTR: May it Be, a soothing medloy with an elven chorus composed and preformed by Enya. Come on, it's Enya for God's Sake!

AWTR: It's Gonna Be Love, sung by Mandy Moore...this song= awful, the insturmental ascepts of it are so god damn bad, just the lyrics are so awful, I hate it!

Winner: May it Be (LOTR)

Opening Sequences

LOTR: With the narration of Galaderial (Queen of the Wood Elevs of Lothlorien), this scene descirbes the origins of the One-Ring, The Wraiths and the Downfall of Sauron with an epic choir and a kick-ass fight scene between orcs and humans/elves.

AWTR: A stupid teenage bastard jumps off a bridge, and gets injured just so that he can be one of the cool kids...wow...-_-'

Winner: "One Ring to Rule Them All" (LOTR)

Ending Sequences

LOTR: One of the protagonists get shot repeatedly in the chest with arrows and dies while Frodo stands on the riverbank miles away crying over the death of Gandalf, while his faithful companion Sam races after him while Frodo grabs a boat, crying to complete the quest alone out of fear that his companions will be tourterd and killed by the orcs ahead. After the two hobbits hug it out. Aragorn, one of the lead protagonists fends off the orcs attacking his comrades but is too late. After he kills the head orc, Boromir (the one being shot) passes away claiming that theit fellowship was futile and that Sauron will return and destroy all life. Aragon kisses his brow and vows to aid Frodo still, after Boromir passes away he runs after Frodo to find that he has left. With the fellowship divided, the movie ends...

AWTR: Landon continues to fulfill various wishes on Jamie's list, such as building her a telescope so she can see a comet. Her father who at first didn't approve of him helps out. After Jamie sees the comet through the telescope, Landon proposes marriage with Jamie accepting. Through this process, Landon and Jamie learn more about the nature of love. The movie ends with Jamie's death, but only after the couple are married in the same chapel as was Jamie's deceased mother, the event that topped Jamie's wish list. Landon himself becomes a better person through Jamie's memory, achieving the goals that he set out to do, like she did.

Winner: The Breaking of the Fellowship (LOTR), Come on it made me cry...

I don't think I need to go on...
