Lord of the Rings movies and maturing of the female species
This is something I meant to blog for a while, since discussing it with a co-worker (who has a nearly-teenage daughter) over a lunch and some general silliness.
One can measure the maturity of the human female by which character in the movie she is attracted to..
- Pre-teen girls are drawn to the boyish appearance of Frodo. An adult woman attracted to him is probably in need of therapy. Badly.
- Teenage girls (and men worldwide) are attracted to Legolas. Girls to the long blond hair and boyish good looks, men just want to look that cool when mounting a horse.
- Adult, grown women, of course, Aaragorn. He's full of raw sexuality and ragged masculinity. If your teenage daughter is attracted to him, buy a very large lock for her bedroom door.
- Older women, of course, the wisened and yet brave and never-fearing Gandalf. The ones who can still remember what sex is like probably prefer Aragorn though.
Star wars had a similar thing, except the selection wasn't quite as good. There was Luke for the kiddies and Han Solo for the adults.. Chewbacca? Nah..

So I guess being drawn by Sauron is a bad thing? *smirk*
