LOTR and Evil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ok, this was a while back (a year and three months to be exact), but it still bothers me. My sister was driving me to a small party-sorta. Anyway, here is the x
conversation.

TealDude3: I'm going to go see a movie with my friend later tonight.
Sister: What movie?
TealDude3: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Sister: You should ask mom.
TealDude3: Why? I've read the book.
Sister: I don't care, ask her!

It's not the rating of the movie that bothers her, she well knows that my mom leats me watch PG-13 movies (mom use to be strict on my movie selection). I still don't know why she asked me to call my mom (mom was up north), Until later, at the party when I called my mom.

TealDude3: Mom said yes.
Sister: Give me the phone!

So, I give her the phone. She goes into another room and closes the door. While shes in the other room, I listen into what my sister was saying through the door.

Sister: But mom, haven't you heared about it! It's demonic! Anybody can tell just by watching the commercials! It's worse that Harry Potter! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] (my mom hates Harry Potter)

Thats when I run into the room and demand the phone back. It took me 30 minutes on the phone, and 1 hour when my mom comes home to convince her its not evil.

But it doesn't end there.

When I read a review for FOTR in the newspaper, the reviewer said that the movie had "occult refrences". ***!?!?! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Can anybody explain to me how a non-Tolkienite generates the idea that LOTR has occult refrences?
