So I just got back from watching the Hobbit. It was a pretty good movie.
I expected the CGI, the fantasy, the violence (though I was more sensitive to that than normally), but what I did not expect were the feelings about home.
First, you take the setting - places of trees, and snow, and stars. Non-existant here.
Then you add in this (paraphrased) conversation:
You are travelers. You don't have a home. You don't belong anywhere.
Which basically sums up NYUAD in a moment.
Then you jump to the end of the movie, where Bilbo says he is helping the Dwarves reclaim their home because they don't have one anymore.
Glad I am heading back to Vermont in 2 days. To a home.
