actually the best part of the lotr cast commentary is getting to hear about sir ian mckellen’s gay agenda

i phrased this as a joke because it is pretty funny but its also worth reading what he said:

IAN: When I suggested to Sean that he took Elijah’s hand it was because I thought anyone who knew the book would care about the deep friendship, often of an innocently physical nature, and that might’ve been missed by two resolutely heterosexual actors who mightn’t appreciate that gay people like myself saw in a touch something perhaps more meaningful than others might. So to persuade him to touch Elijah, I’d say, “Well look, it’s in the book.”

[Sean & Elijah in a separate recording]

SEAN: Ian brought the book to me right before we shot it and he said, “Now look here, it says that Sam runs over and grabs Frodo’s hand,” he said. “The fans of the book are going to want to see that.” I sort of—I believed it, and I got a fan letter the other day that a neighbor friend handed to me, and it said how much it meant to her that Sam holds Frodo’s hand at that moment because it was something that she—it was one of the most important moments to her in the book.
ELIJAH: Oh, that’s fantastic. It’s those subtle little nuances, man.
SEAN: So thank you Ian.
ELIJAH: That’s unbelievable.
