Well, it was an okay-I-can-die-now sort of experience. Really was.

Almost perfect. And give me six months and one more showing of the thing and I'll say, "Oh, hell, it was perfect. Forget I said anything involving 'almost.'"

I've cried, but oh, I haven't even started crying. The sheer joy of seeing my favorite story in the world done and done RIGHT is still bubbling under the surface and I still can't let it all out for fear it will render me incapable of action for the next few weeks.

Frodo. Frodo Frodo Frodo Frodo Frodo.

I'm holding off posting my take on the film, and the trilogy of films, and the books, and Frodo, and What Is All So Important To Me for a totally selfish reason: I want to give a few more of you a chance to see the film so you might actually read my spoilerish ramblings! So I'm going to try to hang on for a couple of days and try to get all my thoughts down.

I actually told my husband last night that I could die happy now. I am so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. A few good friends didn't care for it much, but it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I felt satisfied and fulfilled as I walked out of the theater. I cried litterally during the whole movie, and for about an hour afterward. It was an emotionally fulfilling experience, one that I will look back on with a smile every time I think about it.

And now I have to see it again and again and again...

Yeah, I can't wait to see it again. And I just can't bear listening to anyone who says, "I don't see what the big deal is," right now. Arrgh. So thrilled you liked it as much as I did!

(My apologies to you for caving so quickly and posting my response. Couldn't help it! Hope you love the film as much as I did.)

That's all we need to say, isn't it? Wear a button that says, "Saw ROTK. Can die now.:

Ooh, I hope you loved it! (I hope you were one of the people crying along with me in the theatre, really!)

Oh yes, I was crying. I cried four times and welled up four times. I got my skirt soggy at the end and had to wipe my eyes a lot. It was wonderful. I loved reading your summary of it too although couldn't respond - was too tired and busy! *huggles* But it was a great film! Oh yes! *dances*
