The thing about getting old in the civilization we’ve made for ourselves is you’ll likely increasingly come to welcome the idea of your part in it ending.
What I’m driving at is that by making everyone flat, no one can grow. When Boromir falls for the Ring, everyone in the audience saw it coming from a mile away. When Denethor goes suicidal, there’s no surprise because he’s a raving madman from the moment we meet him.
But if it were like he’s suggesting, people would complain that those characters final(ish) actions were out of character and it would make no sense for them to do those things. Just because you can see something coming doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable to watch. If you saw two trains heading towards each other on one track you wouldn’t look away simply because the you see the outcome coming. There’s a difference between foreshadowing and being predictable and imo it’s not good criticism.
That was great … just listening to it in the Finnish language (that is the language used right?) made it feel, as an English speaker, like I was listening to a language from the actual Lord of Rings universe.
I love LotR, but when your significant other says they want to fuck, the answer is always “hell yeah!”. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, or how you feel. The answer is always “YES!”. I told my wife that if my answer is ever “no”, then she needs to smack me upside the head and suggest a psych evaluation.
