It\u2019s indispensable to our pursuit of a life of significance in the wake, and especially in the midst, of a crucible. That\u2019s one of the key truths we unpack in our discussion of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, the latest movie from the American Film Institute\u2019s Top 100 we discuss in our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCUBLE LESSONS. The first movie in director Peter Jackson\u2019s trilogy of films based on JRR Tolkien\u2019s epic novel has at its center the most unlikely of heroes: Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit \u2013 a race of beings known for pursuing leisure more than adventure. But when dark forces threaten to overtake the fantasy world in which the movie is set, it\u2019s Frodo who is entrusted to carry the powerful ring of the title, not the heroic men, elves and dwarves who become his trusted fellow travelers \u2013 not to mention the wizard who becomes his mentor and guide. And although he didn\u2019t seek, doesn\u2019t want and is in fact often terrified by the calling he\u2019s inherited, Frodo finds the bravery and resolve to lead the charge to save civilization, discovering along the way that true heroes don\u2019t need to expertly wield swords, just humbly wield character.
