Wish I'd had the money to go to Greenland last year, as I want to visit it thanks to this movie, and the 10th anniversary would have been a good occasion. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't some sort of social-media campaign by travellers who love this movie to gather in Greenland for its 10th anniversary and visit some of the locations. In my case, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty inspired me to travel through Europe by train last year; I'm Argentinean and I had to attend a friend's wedding in Spain, but this movie inspired me to travel solo for almost a month and a half, with an itinerary of mostly-definite locations, but not knowing when I was going to arrive to each one of them, which meant I couldn't book lodging more than 1 or 2 days in advance, if at all, and there were lots of times in which I arrived to a city without knowing where I was going to spend that night. That sort of not-having-everything-100%-figured-out-and-confirmed-before-doing-it attitude is so far from what I'm like in my daily life that I actually had to mentally prepare myself to act differently from the way I always do and ignore my usual thought pattern in favor of a "just do it anyway and figure it out along the way" attitude. I would have *never* done that if I hadn't been inspired by this movie, which I couldn't stop thinking about for weeks afterwards everytime I watched it. Fun fact: as I write this in my PC, there's an Italian girl drinking coffee in my bed to my right: I met her near Bologna, after a week of chatting via tinder, while I was trying to get to a beautiful location on the countryside that I had seen a year earlier on a random Instagram reel and, much like the movie, had been stuck in my mind since then; She didn't know about that place but also really liked the reel, and she ended up driving me there. We only spent about 36 hours together, but of course stayed in touch and I convinced her to come visit Argentina. She's been here for almost three months now and we've visited Buenos Aires, the Iguazu Falls, and the northern-most province of Jujuy. Now that I see it all writtend down, it's crazy that a movie and a random Instagram reel set off such a chain reaction.

My 2 issues with the film: 1. This man recovers from traumatic events like a psychopath. Fighting a great white shark has 0 impact on him whatsoever. I get it is not a hyper realistic movie, but even a couple of minutes acknowledging how wild that was would have been great. Especially considering that his triumphs over adversity and perilous situations is what provides him with his new found confidence at the end of the film. And 2. While exuding his new identity and confidence, he is still concerned about "seeming cool" by not going back to buy the magazine. He acknowledges this out loud, but then still doesn't run back to grab one, or walk back with his new partner. 10000% nicpicks. And considering they are my only real gripes, it's almost a perfect movie for me.

How much you like this film depends on how much you can relate do Walter Mitty. If you've always been a "throw caution to the wind" type of person, then this film probably won't move you. But if you're someone who feels that they play it safe in life and often times wonder how much potential you've left on the table by doing so, then this film will truly resonate with you. That's the case with me. It's one of my favorite films ever. It's the little things that are so real... like the long hesitation that Mitty makes trying to decide if he wants to press the Send button on the eHarmony "wink." I've done things like that so many times in life... like being afraid to press that last number on the phone to connect a call to someone.

I'd certainly add a key detail to the introduction of Elrond - we see him first at the very beginning o the movie in the Battle of the Last Alliance! He isn't introduced there but we recognise his face as an awesome Elven warrior and leader from over a thousand years ago. When his face appears talking in Frodo's dream, it's therefore an awesome callback, just as when we realise that Lady Galadriel (Elron'ds mother in law) is the mysterious narrator. Other amazing introductions: - Arwen, whose intro is created for the trilogy to replace Glorfindel and give her more characterisation - it makes cements the mystery and power of her and all elves, and helps counter a feeling that she's helpless later on the in the trilogy, as she finds the power to deny Elrond's false protective prophecy. - Lurtz, another original creation, cements the horrible depths (figuratively and literally) to which Saruman has fallen in his creation of an awful new breed of Orc, which proves pivotal to the menace he poses in The Two Towers. - Grima Wormtongue, maybe my favourite intro, cements a truly lost and poisonous person who turn his gift of speech towards sinister and cowardly ends. - At the same time as the above, we get the extremely impressive Theoden of Rohan - a deceptive intro that makes us think of Theoden as a senile old fossil and a pawn to evil, totally hopeless until Gandalf the White flips the whole room and suddenly the mighty and noble warrior Theoden emerges, ready to lead and fight. - Last but certainly not least - the very first introduction in the entire series is the most special. He's a character we never meet, yet undoubtedly the most important to the plot, so much so that the very name of the trilogy is synonymous with him: *Sauron*. The inhuman, foreboding, vicious and brutal iron giant, wearing a spike-crowned full-head helm of evil steel, the only being that could feel at home in the wastes of Mordor and the fires of Mt. Doom, truly sets the stakes for the entire series to come. There is no mercy or reasoning with such dreadful, hateful power - only brave defiance against nightmarish odds.

I am a fan of Ben Stiller's "Walter Mitty" and one day when I was in the town of Livingstone in Zambia, a picture appeared before me similar to the scenes at the end of the movie - where the characters were playing football at sunset in the Himalayas. African sunset, dusty field and people play rugby. And I shot these moments. And footage is really great! Now it would become a scenes in my documentary about rugby. It would be like a tribute to Ben Stiller beacuse his "Walter Mitty" is inspired my adventures. Best regards, Screeny42 from Siberia.

I think this movie has such a cult following because of how young people now feel like they were sold a life in their childhood only to 'sell out' when they became an adult, me included. Life just wasnt what we thought it would be when we were younger and this film shows that there is indeed another way of going through life.

Tolkien's second biggest weakness as a writer was his characters. He was just terrible at writing interesting characters. His biggest weakness was editing. Someone should've taken a massive red pen to LotR. The trilogy could've easily been edited down to a 150,000 word novel and it would've lost nothing storywise.

I don't really think Tolkien introduced too many characters in the book tbh. If you only stuck with the main cast and the people they interacted with, it would feel like a tale of kings and princes. The fellowship is made up of the long lost king of Gondor, the heir to the stewardship of Gondor, an elf prince, the son of one of Thorin's company, one of the five wizards and then the hobbits, two of them being from old and respected clans with a lot of wealth and high positions in the Shire, Frodo being the son of Bilbo Barrelrider and Ringwinner and in company like that, Sam the gardener ends up being remarkable in how unremarkable he is. To make matters worse, since it's such a high stakes story, it's logical our characters will be interacting mainly with rulers, like the ones in Rohan and Gondor, as well as their heirs. So it's nice when the book takes a bit of time to slow down and bring in people like Butterbur and Beregond, to show the story also involves and affects average people without a grand title or storied heritage. I understand movies can't do that, or they'd end up being 20 hours long each, but in a big epic like this, you can't really fault the story when it does it.

Proud to say that I watched Fellowship in theaters when it came out with my best friend. We were awestruck-it was a landmark day in my young adult life. I had grown up reading Tolkien’s works-my dad bought me my first hobbit book when I was just a boy and I read Fellowship for the first time on the way down to visit him in the hospital when he died. When we were driving in the foggy morning, I was reading about the barrow downs and Frodo confronting death for the first time out of the shire. The whole series has captivated me during my life and I’m so glad to be able to see the legacy continued by Peter Jackson and company.

Wish I'd had the money to go to Greenland last year, as I want to visit it thanks to this movie, and the 10th anniversary would have been a good occasion. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't some sort of social-media campaign by travellers who love this movie to gather in Greenland for its 10th anniversary and visit some of the locations. In my case, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty inspired me to travel through Europe by train last year; I'm Argentinean and I had to attend a friend's wedding in Spain, but this movie inspired me to travel solo for almost a month and a half, with an itinerary of mostly-definite locations, but not knowing when I was going to arrive to each one of them, which meant I couldn't book lodging more than 1 or 2 days in advance, if at all, and there were lots of times in which I arrived to a city without knowing where I was going to spend that night. That sort of not-having-everything-100%-figured-out-and-confirmed-before-doing-it attitude is so far from what I'm like in my daily life that I actually had to mentally prepare myself to act differently from the way I always do and ignore my usual thought pattern in favor of a "just do it anyway and figure it out along the way" attitude. I would have *never* done that if I hadn't been inspired by this movie, which I couldn't stop thinking about for weeks afterwards everytime I watched it. Fun fact: as I write this in my PC, there's an Italian girl drinking coffee in my bed to my right: I met her near Bologna, after a week of chatting via tinder, while I was trying to get to a beautiful location on the countryside that I had seen a year earlier on a random Instagram reel and, much like the movie, had been stuck in my mind since then; She didn't know about that place but also really liked the reel, and she ended up driving me there. We only spent about 36 hours together, but of course stayed in touch and I convinced her to come visit Argentina. She's been here for almost three months now and we've visited Buenos Aires, the Iguazu Falls, and the northern-most province of Jujuy. Now that I see it all writtend down, it's crazy that a movie and a random Instagram reel set off such a chain reaction.
