The Peoples' Review I: Lord of the Rings

The Lord of The Rings The Peoples' Critic was talking to some of his comrades when they said how much they liked this series of movies. The Peoples' Critic was horrified, as his comrades had fallen into the Imperialist Capitalists hands! The films start with the Arch-capitalist Gandalf coming into the worker's paradise of The Shire. The good proletariat of the Shire work and play, with no capitalists around to tell them to produce widgets for the fat cats back in Minas Tirith. Gandalf being the sneaky capitalist that he is, convinces the Hobbits that he is their comrade with his products of capitalism. The young hobbit, Frodo, is beguiled by the trickster, and is convinced to lead him and a few of his comrades on a perilous journey in order to deliver some goods that he stole from the poor boy's hard working uncle. Gandalf, like any capitalist, then leaves while the proletariat has to do all the work. The comrades are forced to combat the Fascist Orcs sent by the Nationalist leader Saurumon with nothing but their hands and their tools. They get some aid from members of Gandalf's corporate empire, but it is simply a rouse to keep the comrades off guard. Eventually the comrades reach Mordor.

Mordor may seem like a terrible place, but that is what the Capitalists want you to think. It is in fact a thinly veiled plot to make the viewer think the Mordor is the evil. In fact, under their great commissar, Sauron, the proletariat of Mordor work ceaselessly to defend their worker's paradise from the menacing forces of the Capitalists in Minas Tirith. The proletariat was in fact winning the war against the Capitalist pig dogs, having captured Minis Ithil and Osgilith, liberating the peoples of those cities. So, the arch-capitalist Gandalf conceived a plan to send the comrades from the Shire into the heart of Mordor to start a volcanic eruption that would destroy the worker's paradise that the proletariat had worked so hard to build. After the hobbits realized what they had done, Gandalf sent his Secret police (the great eagles) to snatch them up and take them back to Minas Tirith for re-education.

This thinly veiled capitalist plot may be dressed up in flashy symbolism and a one-sided story, but the Peoples' Critic sees through the plot, and reveals it for the proletariat to see!
