In fact, Tolkein made a point of denouncing those who tried to cook his works as some sort of religious allegorical porridge. I attended a panel at one convention several years ago where knowledgeable folks were discussing LoTR and one of the panelists had known Tolkein personally and interviewed the man. Apparently Tolkein stated unequivocally that he intended no agenda in or religious allegory in those literary works; he just wanted to tell a good yarn. Other's have drawn those conclusions and misconceptions.As for LoTR being a "Conservative film" I would almost concur, but only from the standpoint of people coming together to fight a common foe and making sacrifice. The subtle sarcasm directed to the Conservative resistance to change in the Shire, mixing races (elves & humans), overcoming prejudice (Hobbits as less vulnerable to the power of the Ring) and fairness through trust in our better selves are more Liberal concepts.

That's why it's hogwash; wiser, more intellectually stimulated viewers will stick with Hogwarts! :o)
