Theoden King of Rohan

The story of Theoden could go on for a long time, of how he was manipulated by Saruman, how he was freed from his control, how he spoke of a wild flower at the grave of his son, which grew in the burial place of the former king of Rohan, and has always been Blooming into the distance - and then burst into tears; I want to talk about how he decided to abandon his homeland and lead his people to hide in the valley, how he continued to move forward when he was helpless, and how he decided to support the Gang after seeing the wolf smoke. Duo, how to say to Eowyn: "I don't want you to take any responsibility, I just want to see your smile", how to lead the army to boost morale, and how to fall... In the end, I just want to say: be king Like Theodon.

If we compare the two leaders, Theoden and Dinecer, the former retains hope and resists bravely until the last moment, while the latter is trapped in his own dark palace of thought for a long time, gradually forgetting the outside world, let alone hope .

Peter Jackson is really good, he is so good at writing, he is so good at choosing, and the actors also brought Theodon to life: the majesty of a king and the tenderness of his father, the intertwined private love and fraternity, the kind of sunset that is still there The demeanor that illuminates the earth has created an unforgettable image.

An excerpt from his monologue in Reference 2:

Where is the horse and the rider?

Where was the horn that was blowing?

They have passed like rain on the mountains,

Like wind in the meadow.

The days have gone down in the west,

Behind the hills.

How did it come to this?

    i can't carry the ring, but i can carry you.! ! ! More than 4 hours is so wonderful! ! Ordinary people can also achieve greatness, all kinds of tears. The trilogy, more than 15 hours in total, God knows how unwilling to end it.

    After reading the trilogy of the Lord of the Rings with difficulty, I don't know how many times I fell asleep in the middle. I thought that 3 would explode the atmosphere of the first two parts together. The result is correct, but the lengthy style remains the same. The supposedly compact plot has to be infinitely lyrical, sweeping away the emotions that the audience has finally gathered. , The final ending is dispensable, sloppy, maybe a blockbuster has a beginning and an end? But a film with a huge structure and empty content is really not an epic.

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

  • Theoden: I have left instruction. The people are to follow your rule in my stead. Take up my seat in the Golden Hall. Long may you defend Edoras if the battle goes ill.

    Eowyn: What other duty would you have me do?

    Theoden: Duty? No... I would have you smile again, not grieve for those whose time has come. You shall live to see these days renewed. No more despair.

  • Gamling: He leaves because there is no hope.

    Theoden: He leaves because he must.

    Gamling: Too few have come. We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor.

    Theoden: No. We cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.
