Will Lord of the Rings take on new relevance in light of the tragedy of September 11

     Orlando Bloom: "What's beautiful about this story is it says the evil of
      the world is contained within one Ring. And the smallest of beings, the
     Hobbits can come together with friends and a Fellowship and go off to
     destroy the Ring in the fires where it was made. So, it runs very parallel
     with what's happening today. I think it's a strory of hope, because at the
     end, the evil is overcome."

     Elijah Wood: "I saw the movie for the second time just the other night, and
     it really hit me how it resonates. It's about facing adversity, relying on your
     friends and facing things with courage and hope. I think of that as a                  beautiful thing. If people can see this now, and take those things away             from it in light of recent events, it's a bonus. I think Tolkien's work has found      relevance in other times, too. I mean, in the 60's, the books were really             embraced by our culture during the Vietnam war. Hippies and peace                advocates were in love with the idea of Hobbit life representing a simpler         existence."

     Viggo Mortensen: "It's not just about protecting your home and your way of       life against forces of evil. It also reminds us that there's potential in all of us      for good and evil. Each member of the Fellowship has moments of self-            doubt -- the potential to do the wrong thing. The story also deals with                prejudice and fear of the unknown -- the things, nations and cultures we            don't understand If the world keeps spinning and doesn't come apart, we           need to be patient with ourselves and with others. There isn't much future         in keeping a wall between ourselves and the rest of the world."

     Sean Astin: "After September 11, I'm looking at everything with a                      heightened sense of awareness. Even when I watch old Disney films, they         have a different kind of meaning for me. So, I think in that sense, the                movie is relevant, because it's such a powerful thing that has happened in        the world, and this movie and these books speak to issues that are being           talked about in a very serious way right now."
