End of an Era

I have not read the original work, but if you look at the entire Trilogy carefully, you will find that it contains far more than the struggle between black and white. It has an analysis of human weakness, praise for love and friendship, The reflection of the environment is no longer a story, but an epic.
People who don't like LOTR always say that it is too commercial, but I can say that it is the richest in all the commercial films I have seen.
The portrayal of a nation in the movie can be said to be exhausting. Take Rohan as an example. From the national flag with a black background and white horse, to the tribal city built on a high mountain, to the sound of bagpipes every time they come out, it vividly outlines a nomadic nation.
Peter Jackson and his team are not shooting a movie anymore. They are creating a world, a world with its own history, its own culture, and its own black-and-white disputes, and this world almost truly makes you believe that it is indeed in a certain Exist at a moment or somewhere. They made it so hard, and it took 7 years for them to shoot. I don’t think any movie that puts commercial interests first would have the guts to spend such a time cost. So when they got those Oscars, I was very happy for them. Tolkien created a dream for us, and they turned this dream into reality.
While watching RTOK, I was always agitated by an emotion:
Pippin lights up the first beacon tower , and then the beacon fires in the mountains are ignited one by one...
Eowyn desperately on the battlefield like a man...
Sam said to Frodo: I can't carry the ring for u, but I can carry u...
Aragorn said to all the people of Gondor and Rohan before the war: This day we fight!
I know that LOTR has brought me more shock and emotion than all The excitement and freshness that commercial films can give me.
A good movie does not depend on whether it is artistic or commercial, as long as it impresses you, it is a good movie.

Anyway ,the journey is end ,but life continues.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King quotes

  • [from extended version]

    Pippin: [to himself] What were you thinking, Peregrin Took? What service could a Hobbit offer such a great lord of men?

    Faramir: [approaching] It was well done. Generous deeds should not be checked by cold council. You are to join the tower guard?

    Pippin: I didn't think they would find any livery that would fit me.

    Faramir: It once belonged to a boy of the citadel. A very foolish one; who spent many hours slaying dragons instead of attending to his studies.

    Pippin: This was yours?

    Faramir: Yes, it was mine. My father had it made for me.

    Pippin: Well, I'm taller than you were then. Though I'm not likely to grow anymore... except sideways.

    [they laugh]

    Faramir: Never fitted me either. Boromir was always the soldier. They were so alike, he and my father. Proud... stubborn, even. But strong.

    Pippin: I think you have strength, of a different kind. And one day your father will see it.

  • Aragorn: I do not fear death.
