Even my daughters love Fellowship

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2002)

So, I have 7 kids. My oldest, 18 & 15, boys, read the trilogy. So did I as a teen. The 3 of us enjoy late night discussions about all sorts compelling topics of our own creation. We loved watching Fellowship and have watched the DVD several times. My 2 older daughters, 12 & 10, to my surprise, have absorbed much of our enthusiasm for the trilogy. They've watched the movie and quote lines from it. I encourage creative thinking in our home. LOTR is fantasy. I feel some sympathy for folks you can't suspend reality for 3 hours. I suppose it's as much human to be critical as it is human to be imaginative. Still, I prefer the companionship of the kind and creative to the company of the mean and critical.
