phineasjonesok, i need to get helping my girl, but maybe it would help me to just get a few things out.
i fall in love with characters. and with their love for each other, as i perceive it. like sirius and remus. i'm in love with them and i'm in love with them being in love. and sometimes it feels like my heart will explode when i'm just thinking about them.
the first time (in recent years) this happened to me was with frodo and sam. i was going to read all the books before seeing any of the movies but i'd only finished the hobbit when i caved to pressure and went to see fotr. after that i read all three books in a few weeks. and the most compelling part of them for me was the story of frodo and sam and their shocking, amazing love. i started reading f/s slash the day after i finished the books (the first slash i'd ever read, ever heard of even) because i felt a desperate need to read about them together again, more. loving each other.
and this movie... god fucking bless peter jackson for not shying away from the beauty of this relationship. but yes, this movie has wrecked me. because it was such a stunning portrayal of what happens in the books. the parts that were changed slightly or added were perfect adaptations of tolkien's ideas. and even though i have seen sam carrying frodo up the mountain in my head for years, actually watching this happen just about broke me.
i have a lot more to say about this. about frodo and sam and the movie in general. and about rosie cotton. but i really need to stop crying and pay attention to rach's paper now. ::deep breath::
