Incoming wall o text (and LOTR spoilers). Youve been warned. So Im going through the Lord of the Rings extended movies with my brother, and, being political I cant help but thinking (as someone whos never read the books)...doesnt it seem like theres a very interventionist attitude to the storyline? It starts out with the Hobbits in the Green Dragon talking about how its none of our concern what goes on beyond our borders. And then in the Two Towers Merry says they have to fight because if they dont there wont *be* a shire. And finally Sauron is defeated by a Rohan/Gondor mutual defense pact similar to the entangling alliances Jefferson advocated against. Certainly its not proselytizing to the same degree that Casablanca or Happy Feet does, but I still feel its there. Thoughts?
