I always thought that "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" were of the same kind, and were for children to watch, so when the first two were released, I didn't mean to watch them at all. Watching the third part is completely crooked. My buddies and I originally wanted to watch "Fangfang Tulips", but after eating, we went to the entrance of the cinema to see "The Return of the King". The original book "Fangfang Tulips" was early Just give way. Come here, just watch it. When I went in, I was still very depressed. First, I couldn't see the French big guy. Second, I didn't know what "Lord of the Rings" was. Why didn't I see the first two parts and the third part?
That night, I didn't have time to appreciate what kind of classic "The Lord of the Rings" is, and only had time to dizzy. Needless to say, those ugly monsters and ghastly ghosts made me get goose bumps. Just those good people, all kinds of people, tall and short, made me confused. Fortunately, although the French guy did not see it, he was beautiful. The archer is enough to compensate, but the lens is a bit too small, I didn't even notice that the ears under the shiny silver hair were different from others. There were several scenes that impressed me very much throughout the night. One was Faramir's death tragically accompanied by Pippin's mourning, the other was the cavalry phalanx of Luo Hanguo pouring down with thunder, and the other was Aragorn. Passionate and heroic lines, "Maybe one day, mankind will lose courage, and maybe one day our congregation betrayed relatives, but not today. Today, we are going to fight!" It is about the line that echoed in my ears for a long time, leading me step by step. Enter the world of "Lord of the Rings".
When I watched the trilogy in its entirety for the first time, I still couldn't understand what the elves were, where the hobbits came from, where the white boats from Gray Harbor were heading, and what was the relationship between Gandalf and Saruman. When I was in the hospital and waiting for the operation, I went shopping during the day without any problems. I saw the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "Scarlet Diamond" in a small bookstore. The total amount was forty yuan. It must be a pirated version, but the quality was turned over. It was OK, so I bought it and ate it up without stopping during the hospitalization. After that, watching the DVD again, it feels completely different. It seems to be watching people of all colors that I know very well waiting for their lives and throwing themselves into their battles. I seem to be among them, feeling their fear and inspiring their courage. After revisiting it over and over again, I always felt a kind of cordiality, as if I had met an old friend who had been away for many years, sitting and drinking relatively, remembering the passionate years of the past.
It wasn't until I was watching the disc that I was really moved by the "extra" ending. The four hobbits returned home in full dress and once again sat around the Green Dragon Hotel. Everything around was so familiar but so strange. The laughter of the villagers was the same as before, but they sat silently, once carefree here. Singing and dancing, but now no one can laugh. Throughout the trilogy, this scene is the only moment that makes me want to cry. I would rather watch "League of the Rings" again, because even if it is the same Hobbiton, the same rivers and fields, and the same paradise, its colors have become so unnatural, and there is a kind of almost boneless strangeness and alienation.
"After experiencing all that, how do you go back to the past?" It was not only Frodo who uttered such a feeling. In order to defend the simple and peaceful life in their hometown, they fought to the last minute with blood and life, but when everything was over, they found that they could not go back. The tragic war they experienced has profoundly changed them, and they are no longer who they were. Suddenly, I could deeply understand why so many soldiers who returned after the war had mental illness because they could not go back.
"After experiencing all that, how do you go back to the past?" No matter how hard we try to maintain the life we have, it is still destined to change, because the world is changing and we ourselves are changing. Whenever I hear this sentence, I feel a certain despair, because I know what the answer is, knowing that what is waiting for Frodo is the white boat bound for life. Intentionally or unconsciously, I always avoid this ending.
