The Lord of the Rings is a film series

of three epic fantasy adventure films

directed by Peter Jackson,

based on the novel written by J R R Tolkien.

The films are subtitled The Fellowship of the Ring

in 2001,

The Two Towers, 2002

and The Return of the King in 2003.

Produced and distributed by New Line Cinema with the

co-production of WingNut Films,

it is an international venture

between New Zealand and the United States.

Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth,

the films follow the hobbit Frodo Baggins

as he and the Fellowship embark

on a quest to destroy the One Ring,

to ensure the destruction of its maker,

the Dark Lord Sauron.

The Fellowship eventually splits up

and Frodo continues the quest with his loyal companion

Sam and the treacherous Gollum.

Meanwhile, Aragorn, heir in exile to the throne of Gondor

along with Legolas, Gimli,

Boromir,

Merry, Pippin,

and the wizard Gandalf,

unite to rally the Free Peoples of Middle-earth

in the War of the Ring

in order to aid Frodo by distracting Sauron’s attention.

All three films premiered to widespread critical acclaim.

The Toronto Film Critics Association awarded Jackson

a “Special Citation” for his work on the series as a whole,

while the Austin Film Critics Association

selected the entire series as the decade’s third best film.

The films won seventeen out of

thirty Academy Award nominations,

and The Return of the King holds the record

for most Oscars with eleven alongside Titanic and Ben-Hur.

The Return of the King also has the distinction

of being the only fantasy film until The Shape of Water

in 2017

to have won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Now

Let’s look at some words and phrases from the film.

He spends hours and hours poring over old maps

when he thinks I’m not looking.

He spends hours and hours poring over old maps

when he thinks I’m not looking.

To pore over is a phrasal verb

meaning to look at something in a focused and thorough way.

For example:

I pored over the data

but I still can’t seem to find a solution.

He’s up to something.

If someone’s up to something,

that means they are doing something secretly.

For example:

I think that the kids are up to something.

Maybe they’re planning me a surprised birthday party.

Before you came along, we Baggineses were very well thought of.

indeed!

Come along is a phrasal verb that means

to arrive or to become available.

For example:

He told me to work hard

and take every opportunity that comes along.

Also it means to go somewhere with someone.

In other words to accompany them.

In this case Frodo is saying that his family name

was well thought of before Gandalf came along.

If a person is well thought of,

it means people have good thoughts about him or her.

For example:

He was efficient at his job

and well thought of by everyone.

we Bagginses were very well thought of.

Frodo and Bilbo’s last name was Baggins.

However here you probably heard them say bagginses.

That’s because it’s plural.

Usually plurals of names or last names

follow the same rules as any other noun.

If your last name were Smith

and you wanted to refer to your whole family

You’d say: the Smiths.

If you’re referring to the incident with the dragon,

I was barely involved.

Barely is the opposite of a lot of or very much.

Compare these two examples:

He barley has any money.

He has a lot of money.

Then if you’re involved in an activity

it means you’re taking part in that activity.

All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door.

In this incident Gandalf says

he gave Bilbo a little nudge out the door.

If you nudge someone or give someone a nudge

you push them gently.

Especially if you touch someone with your elbow

in order to get their attention.

whatever you did,

you’ve been officially labeled a disturber or the peace.

oh, really?

To label someone as something

is to use a word or phrase to describe someone or something.

He was labeled as disturber of the peace meaning

he did things that disturbed peace in the Shire.

In this case,

to disturb means to change a normal situation

in a way that causes problems.

OK guys

that was it.
