Dumb question on Lord of the Rings...
on: February 04, 2010, 09:29:16 PM
Why was Sauron bad?  It's just an eye hanging out there.   ::)  The most it appeared to do was look at you over great distances.  oooOOOoooo ::) 

Maybe it was a good eye who just happened to be surrounded by bad people and Orks. ::)

Sauron was the guy that made the rings. He died in the beginning of the first movie, but because the ring wasn't destroyed, he came back to life in the form of sauron's eye. sauron's eye can read peoples minds and give his horsemen an advantage.

It just depends on whether you like trees or brimstone more.

He is either Alexander the Great or Hitler.  If you're on his side, he's your savior, if you're not, he's the most evil man in the world.
If this work is so threatening, it is not because it's simply strange, but competent, rigorously argued and carrying conviction.

-Jacques Derrida

I guess the all seeing eye is sometimes real too.
