Honestly one of the main reasons I love lord of the rings so much is that it's full of healthy masculinity. There's these masculine, strong men who are so tender and loving with one another and so kind. I find it quite inspirational.

It's really refreshing to see.

It's also strange to read how even through all the social progress we've made over generations, men have gotten less affectionate with each other (I'm only speaking from an western/American perspective). Old books, history, and even older movies depict more physical affection than most men show each other today.

Cinema Therapy made a video on exactly this. Great channel, great video.
