Modern as such. Included capitalism, fascism and commie`s shit. With their industrialisation, machines and idea of progress.

What does The Company represent?

Sauron is the literal embodiment of greed and a thirst for power. This was his undoing where he underestimated Isildur simply because he had more power over him in that moment.

Am I alone with thinking that the black speech wouldn't sound all that bad if the actors didn't ham it up whenever they have to say a line in it?

I would like to think it is a bit more nuanced than that.

>> No.16121099

>>16120977
That's actually the most nuanced idea in the thread. The point of the good and evil divide in LOTR is to show that it is a fundamental divide and all else comes after.

I like Hugo Weaving but he was miscast as Elrond, they should have went with Bowie.

He doesn't represent anything. Tolkien said clearly he doesn't like allegory

>> No.16121583

>>16119765
Sauron is the incarnation of will of ruling others. The entire storyline, the struggle between the good and the bad, is only a bait, an easily comsumable message for the average brainwashed citizen to understand to most basic problem in the world. The human intention to have power over others.

Industrialism more than anything. It's no coincidence that Mordor is a giant smoking factory complex. Or that a bunch of literal fucking sentient trees destroy Isengard. The human spirit resists mechanical incorporation into a relentless industrial regime.

God made the world with a role for everyone and that world was agrarian aristocracy and then some dude came along with ideas to change things and create ‘order’ and so it was all ruined.

That was more Isengard, in my reading. Mordor seemed to represent a more non-specific evil.
