The Hobbit film from an Anti-Semitic perspective.

Same can be said of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs (based on German and Norse myths). The gold hungry dwarves represent the jews. The story is very old and has been told in many different ways throughout the ages.

Just an aside but you may enjoy The Story of Sigurd from The Red Fairy Book

Goethe's The Fairy Tale is a really good read, too.

Good posts folks, I am gonna check all the links when im back home.

Tolkien was a student of history and languages, and I've read that he was influenced by the different mythologies of European peoples and specifically created Middle-earth to be a British mythology. He lived through some of the worst times of modern European history and this is obviously reflected in his black and white description of struggle between good and evil. I wouldn't read too far into it, just enjoy it for what it is.

You nordics are so dull, learn to look at all the quantum possibilities, even if they're not factual it's good to cover all the possible ramifications. It's more of an exercise than anything.

Do they ?
Do you perchance have some source to quote or link to ?

It is possible in later times the Nibelungen legend has been politicized, but I think originally the dwarves probably stood for "subterranean" forces in Man's soul (or something of the sort). Not sure, but I do suspect that much...

This piece lends some credence to your thoughts...

JRR Tolkien on Financiers

"The true equation is 'democracy' = government by world financiers...The main mark of modern governments is that we do not know who governs, de facto any more than de jure. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or what is most important of all, the banker of the backer. Enthroned above all, in a manner without parallel in all past, is the veiled prophet of finance, swaying all men living by a sort of magic, and delivering oracles in a language not understanded [sic] of the people."

J.R.R. Tolkien,
Candour Magazine, 13 July 1956, p. 12

Hi OP,

I like your theory. Very skilled decoding of symbolism.

Keep in mind, Tolkien wrote this story as a tale to tell his children.

I'm not saying that you are wrong, but I doubt Tolkien had an Anti-Semitic message in mind when he wrote it. On the other hand, I do believe that Tolkien's subconscious had a huge impact on his writing, just like any other good writer gets influenced by his subconsciousness.

Have you ever tried to decode Lord of the Rings, since you obviously have a talent for such matters.

Oh, and btw. Judethz, you are a disgusting negative human being.

The 1956 quote from Tolkien spells out quite clearly that Tolkien was a very sharp man.
There is no mention of the ethnicity of the Bankers of the backers of the backers to our leaders.
This is right as we know that these Bankers are not necessarily Semites at all, they are mostly impostors.
So, in answer to your question, 'So does The Hobbit by Peter Jackson contain Anti-Semitic undertones?', perhaps we should replace the word Semetic with Bank/Financier. In which case I believe the answer to be yes.

... Tolkien is one of the more unlikely figures in modern literary history on which to pin a badge of Jew-hater. In fact, Tolkien was something of a Judeophile. A philologist by training, he was familiar with Hebrew, and while he did indeed acknowledge basing his dwarves’ speech on Semitic languages, this was hardly the act of an anti-Semite. “I do think of the ‘Dwarves’ like Jews: at once native and alien in their habitations, speaking the languages of the country, but with an accent due to their own private tongue,” he once wrote.

Although Tolkien refuted attempts to interpret “The Hobbit” and his “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy as allegory, it’s been remarked time and again that in no small way, Tolkien’s opus was to some extent a corrective rewrite of the Wagner Ring trilogy, particularly the composer’s overtly anti-Semitic representation of Jews as evil dwarves.

Both stories, of course, are quests for a magical ring. Both are populated with characters based on Norse mythology. Tolkien loved the old myths, and he was disgusted by Wagner’s perversion of them in the service of creating a modern racial mythology.

Tolkien was given the opportunity to stick it to Wagner posthumously — and he did, when he stood up to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime in its attempt to co-opt him to the Nazis’ side. When a German publisher that wanted to put out a German translation of his work requested verification that Tolkien was of pure Aryan blood, which Tolkien believed to be a not-so-subtle inquiry into whether or not he was part Jewish, Tolkien refused to play ball.

In a letter he drafted in response to the request, he replied, “I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware noone (sic) of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people.”

And to a friend, he wrote, “Do I suffer this impertinence because of the possession of a German name, or do their lunatic laws require a certificate of arisch origin from all persons of all countries?… Personally I should be inclined to refuse to give any Bestatigung [confirmation] (although it happens that I can), and let a German translation go hang. In any case I should object strongly to any such declaration appearing in print. I do not regard the (probable) absence of all Jewish blood as necessarily honourable; and I have many Jewish friends, and should regret giving any colour to the notion that I subscribed to the wholly pernicious and unscientific race-doctrine.”

And heeeeeeeere's the race card.

Everything has to be inherently racist in today's politically correct pussified world.
Michael Moore says firearms are racist, and now this guy is saying Tolkein is a bigot...
Does everyone just stay in bed in fear of getting their feelings hurt nowadays?

It is not jewish, it is kazhar, it has said that itself.

It identifies itself with real jewish people, it is mentally
ill, it should seek help, a psychiatrist might help but I
have my doubts.

Did you actually read the quote? It says the exact opposite, that Tolkien was vocally anti-racist, even when a Nazi-era publisher attempted to co-opt his work.

wasn't a lot of it letters to his children at home since he was stationed in North Africa or something like that?

in the preceeding book The Silmarillion, the 'wizards' Saruman and Gandalf are known as the ISTAR! and the original inhabitants of Earth are known as the NUMENOREANS.

Hope so, might actually be a pretty good movie then

Anything can mean anything when you tear it apart and disect it looking for a certain theme.

Great book, good movie.
