Once again the limelight of a supporting role overwhelmed the protagonist

After working harder after watching The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers, it still did not disappoint.
This time, the original single-line plot became a three-line, Frodo lined up, Treeman lined up, and Battle of the Helm Valley lined up again. Three lines are crossed. The first two lines are basically narrative plots, and there is nothing brilliant. Among them, Frodo embodies his kindness and sympathy for Gollum. If it weren't for being forced by Faramore in the end, maybe Guru might start again, after all, Guru had driven away the inner demons.
The highlight of the Battle of the Helm Valley is the King of Rohan Kingdom Hidden. His forbearance, perseverance, and knowingly hopeless but uncompromising posture once again overshadowed the protagonist’s halo of Aragon (he always doesn’t like Aragon, Especially the sound, which is sharper than Brom, a bit motherly).
In this movie, Aragorn’s character is a brainless pig, attacking, attacking, and attacking no matter what the situation is. There is never a second option. And King Xiurton was much more calm, wisely abandoning the difficult-to-defend city and retreat to the fortress of Saint Helm Valley (this decision proved to be extremely correct afterwards, if it were not for the delay, it is estimated that Luo Hanguo would have been finished). The scene that most reflects Hidden’s psychology is when Hidden was put on armor by his subordinates before the battle, Hidden muttered to himself: "Who am I? ~ Do you believe in the king? ~ Follow until death. Death. ~ How did you become like this?" That sad, decisive emotion suddenly diffused.
Finally, let me talk about Sam the Hobbit. Like the last one, the main theme always sounds at the end. This time it is Sam who is here to be a political instructor. The main theme of the previous part was that people need to make decisions at critical moments. At that time, Frodo made the decision to go to Modo alone without dragging his companions. The main theme this time is that heroes always grit their teeth when they can give up and become heroes. That is because they have beliefs. Our belief is that there are always good things in this world that we need to fight for.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers quotes

  • [Aragorn walks through the ranks of Elven defenders of Helm's Deep]

    Aragorn: [In Elvish] Show them no mercy... for you shall receive none!

  • Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

    Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] It's the beards.

    Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!

    [Eowyn laughs]

    Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.
