In 2012, the team behind The Lord of the Rings, together with Warner Bros. and Peter Jackson decided to continue expanding Tolkien’s universe by releasing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The film was a box office success, leading the studio to produce two more sequels in 2013 and 2014.
The original Lord of the Rings trilogy taught us that friendship, kindness, and courage — even if not always, then very often — can work wonders: miracles that defeat evil and make the world a better place.
The first film of The Hobbit trilogy, however, focuses on something different — the feeling of home and the reluctance to leave it.
Bilbo, portrayed by Martin Freeman, doesn’t want to go anywhere. Yet a small spark in his heart whispers “Go”, even though at first he doesn’t understand why. The Dwarves he meets have no home — it was taken from them. And this very fact becomes crucial for Bilbo: to help these people regain what he himself has always had. That difference between them defines his journey.
Gandalf, as always, teaches the audience wisdom and kindness; the Elves embody serenity and harmony. And the story itself reminds us that everything is possible and that we should not be afraid — because our home is not given to us to stay there forever, but so that we can go on adventures and always find our way back.
