I'm going to write down all the characters in The Lord of the Rings that touched me, so let's start with Dineeth.
When I used to read the book, I thought that Dinether was an eccentric and cold-blooded bastard. When I read it again today, I began to feel sad for him. He is completely a tragic figure.
I feel like he is like the withered holy white tree in Minas Tirith, waiting for a man who can never come back in the long and cold years, gradually sinking into despair and madness, in his world only Under fire and death, there is no hope. So much so that at the end of the day, when the king returned, he couldn't recognize the other party.
The most heart-wrenching place was when he shouted, "The Emperor will not return, I will never admit him! This is my country", when Gandalf turned to leave, Pippin saw him sitting alone in the prime minister's black chair, behind him. The high, snow-white throne was empty. I don't think Dineiser is arrogant. What is he trying to do? Money or power? If it's the former, I don't see it, if it's the latter, why is he still sitting in the prime minister's position? At that time no one had the energy to object. Ever since the throne of Gondor had been left vacant, the Prime Ministers had waited for the return of the Emperor, looking forward to a tall phantom, a beautiful phantom full of glory in the dark ages, a king who did not exist on earth. Therefore, when Aragorn, a seemingly informal "northern vagabond" appeared, Dineiser was so angry and disappointed. It was not so much that he felt that Aragorn was fake, but that he did not allow the other party to sully his fantasies about the king. Dineeth lost his wife in his early years, and lost his son when Gondor fell. He no longer had any hope. Therefore, he really fell into madness, made a decision for Faramir paranoid, and wanted to end it with death.
In the movie, his handling of eating while sending Faramir "to die" is really good. When Xiaofa said, "It's my brother who would rather stand here, it's me who died." Still drank, said "yes."
He said to Pippin, "What song can't be sung at my house? (I remember he used home here) Sing it, sing me one!" And with the singing, Faramir's army rushed to death, Dine He ate numbly, almost paranoid, and the red juice ran down the corner of his mouth. At that moment, his pain really moved me.
(Of course, this guy is by no means a good father, Xiaofa has suffered! I hope Xiaofa can forget the shadow of his original family and live happily)
The movie version of Dinecer's portrayal is generally more extreme, perhaps to create conflict, he is too crazy, and even has a hint of a harlequin, which I don't like very much.
In the original book, Dinese was more gloomy and dignified, but more like a tree. Although it ended with self-immolation, it was not dignified to leave. But I still feel that he fell with the majesty of an old tree. He faded slowly in the flames, dying in the last darkness, when the knights of Rohan appeared on the horizon at dawn.
