In addition to sacrifice and blood, war also represents hope

The Plain of Palano fell, and Hidden, the ruler of Gondor, believed that the perimeter defense should not be given up. Therefore, regardless of the war situation, he sent his youngest son Faramo to attack the occupied area occupied by the Mordor Army. The Mordor Legion is fully equipped in the Lunang area, and the half-orcs are ready to go. Falamo’s offense is tantamount to hitting a rock with a pebble. This is an attack doomed to fail. However, in order to show his loyalty to the country and for his father to change his disdainful attitude, he chose this suicidal battle without hesitation. For this war, Peter Jackson did not directly show the scene of the struggle like other similar battles, but used the technique of market prices to see off these warriors: Faramo wore a robber and led a small number of soldiers to the city gate, sad. The music also rang at the same time. The people spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to see off the soldiers. People looked sad, and some even cried bitterly. They threw flowers on the ground, and some directly offered flowers to the soldiers. They expressed their respect for the soldiers in their own way. And blessings. When the city gate opened, the music became solemn and sad.
We can't see the expressions of the soldiers, but we can feel their determination and courage to die generously in order to defend their homes from the running horses and the hooves of horses. We have not seen the tragic state of their being killed, but we can experience the fierceness of the war from the half-orcs who are significantly more numerous than ourselves, and from the bows and arrows fired by the half-orcs.
Peter Jackson also used parallel montage techniques to constantly switch between the scenes of the war and the scene of the ruler of the palace, Hidden eating grapes. The song of Charles Manor sung by Ringling Duke: "Far away from home and head toward a new world; the long road is long, breaking through the night, and seeing the light again; the stars are shining like the day, the mist is lingering, and the clouds cover the sun, they will all disperse ......" This song did not sing praises, nor attacked the devil, but expressed the hope for hope and light, but this universal sentiment was intertwined with the doomed war at this time, making Faramo and the soldiers Death is more tragic, but the shallow cappella puts a heavy mark on people's hearts.

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

  • Pippin: [singing to Denethor as Faramir leads the charge] Home is behind, the world ahead... and there are many paths to tread... Through shadow... To the edge of night... Until the stars are all alight... Mist and shadow, cloud and shade... All shall fade... all... shall... fade.

  • Denethor: My sons are spent. My line has ended. Rohan has deserted us. Theoden's betrayed me. Abandon your posts! Flee, flee for your lives!

    [He turns around, and Gandalf knocks him out with his staff]

    Gandalf: Prepare for battle!
