Some wounds will never heal. The king returns, and the beauty is in his arms. The Lord of the Rings trilogy culminates in "Into The West", with a nearly perfect posture to call the curtain. Let those producers cheer. It was indeed a triumph of cinematic stunts. The magnificent epic bearing, magnificent war pictures, and strange magical scenes are so shocking because of the use of computer stunts. Although some people still pointed out some shortcomings and regrets, it was only a few sighs after contentment. However, we have also had the experience of being lethargic watching "The Matrix 3", and understand that film stunts are not the only factor that determines a movie's box office these days. Sometimes it can build a huge virtual world, but it can't support our heavy weight. eyelid. The basic elements of the film-character and story, after the stunt aura faded, once again prominent in the eyes of fans. As a mythical style story, "The Lord of the Rings" inherits the simple ideological theme and narrative structure of ancient mythology: heroes defeat demons, and justice defeats evil. However, Tolkien, the author of the original book, did not stop at creating a single character image and expressing a simple mythological theme; the screenwriter and director also strictly followed the main theme of the original book, with a slightly lengthy but extraordinary ending, giving this epic blockbuster more depth literary atmosphere. When Aragorn embraces Yawen and accepts the cheers and worship of his people, many people will think that the camera will pull out a wider scene - a field, a sky, and then roll out the subtitles in some satisfying way. At this point we almost forget the first protagonist of the story, a baby-faced hero, Frodo the Hobbit. It was he who experienced all kinds of calamities, resisted the temptation and torture of the Lord of the Rings, and finally destroyed it in the lava of the Doomsday Volcano. Fortunately, the director did not forget him. In the next ten minutes, the film tells about his life after returning to his hometown. It took ten minutes to shoot the quiet and beautiful scenery of Hobbiton, describe Sam's happy situation after marriage, and portray Frodo's slightly sad look, which is extremely extravagant for a Hollywood blockbuster. It was in the peaceful and beautiful homeland, facing Sam's happy fat face, that Frodo told us that the wound left by the Lord of the Rings in his heart would never heal. He can no longer live in Hobbiton as he used to. Not being able to return is the fate of the hero. All this makes us have to think back to Frodo's original appearance. That face, those eyes, we can paint with jewels with the moon with all the classical imagery of pure beauty. He was even simpler and happier than all simple hobbits. Yet he chose a heroic path closer to evil. He was destroyed at the same time as the Devil's Ring was destroyed. Here we see the depths of human nature, even if you have the pure power like Frodo, it is difficult to get rid of the evil in your heart. in the story with Frodo The corresponding character is Gollum. Perhaps even Tolkien himself didn't realize that Gollum was a modern-day antihero. It is conceivable that if poor Smiguel (previous life Gollum) had not met the Lord of the Rings, he would have been like other hobbits, liked food, liked jokes, liked smoking his beloved pipe by the fireplace, and passed his time peacefully and happily. Harpy's life. However, he encountered the Lord of the Rings. This is Gollum's destiny. Don't condemn him too much for being unable to resist the temptation of evil, which every ordinary person cannot resist, including you and me. When he has survived five hundred years of painful and struggling life, and finally plunged into the lava, our eyes should be full of pity - to him, to you and me, and perhaps to the future of mankind. Self-destruction to heal irreparable wounds is also a paradox that humanity cannot answer. Compared to Gollum, Frodo was lucky. He has a powerful innocence that no one else can match. But he destroyed the Lord of the Rings, but he could not clear the evil that was awakened in his heart. Who's to say that at the end of the story he traveled overseas, not a haughty self-imposed exile? Perhaps at the moment Sauron was destroyed, he also understood the invincibility of evil. Just having to fight it is a hero's mission. In this way, the author tells us through the mouth of the characters at the end of the story that "some wounds can never be healed", which makes this epic story have a tragic beauty.
