Having been nominated/dragged along to watch Lord of the Rings for a second time I found myself a little bored during the 3 hour presentation. I still like the story, but how the book tells it, not the dramatic portrayal in the movie. That's when it hit me, right after the council meets to decide who will take the ring to Mount Doom the fellowship of the 9 head out and are on the mountains. The music starts out soft and is building to a climax as the camera pans around the mountains. That's when I realized the shot had been stolen from the opening of Sound of Music, it couldn't have been more obvious if Julie Andrews herself had been there singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music". Maybe if we are lucky the second Lord of the Rings will include new original music such as "How do you solve a problem like Lord Sauron".
