Movie: Lord of the Rings, The

Interpretation:
I only have this one scene to interpret but I think it's accurate

First off let me say that I think The Hobbits represent teenagers. Why? Because they are called halflings, they are halfway between childhood and adulthood, they like to party, they like to eat, drink, smoke 'weed', in general just have a good time and not worry about too much.

And it's in a person's teenage years that they start to become who they are going to be for the rest of their life and all this is determined by what happens to them in childhood which leads me to the scene I'm going to attempt to interpret.

The scene is when they are in the drawf's mountain and Pippin knocks the suit of armour down the well which arouses the orcs and trolls. Gandoplh scolds Pippin and says "Why Don't you just throw yourself in next time and save us all the trouble" (I can't remember the exact line)

in other words 'Just kill yourself and we'll all be better off without you!" these are very harsh words for a child and especially coming from Gandolph who is the authority/father Figure. The Trolls and Orcs represent the negative feelings Pippin feels and the giant mountain troll is like a big baby that is being controlled by these negative feelings they have to over come this in order to move on, which of course they do.

That's a brief summary of what I think this one scene means and I believe the rest of the movie can be interpreted along these same lines.
