really overwhelming

Watching The Lord of the Rings after growing up is a completely different feeling. In the two months of the three-part re-screening, when I saw the final ending, I couldn't help but burst into tears. At the end of most works, people feel lost and unsatisfied, and the Lord of the Rings is so complete that I can't help thinking: "Ah, what a perfect ending, really everyone has explained it, there is no regret, there is no way to replace it. The author makes up." Even after reading it, it makes people feel and think.

The Lord of the Rings is a work that extols the truth, the good and the beautiful. "There are always some beautiful things worthy of our dedication." It just so happened that recently my friend and I were discussing the topic of human nature. Whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil, human nature has two opposite sides. Tolkien created the object of the Lord of the Rings, and everyone in front of it will burst out with the greatest greed, just like the worst of human nature. The final destruction of the Lord of the Rings also shows that this evil will inevitably be suppressed.

Although the Lord of the Rings can induce endless greed, in the entire trilogy, only the Nazgul and Gollum are really controlled by this greed. All characters were briefly seduced by the Lord of the Rings, but none were fully transformed. For example, in the first part, Boromir, but in the face of the crisis of his comrades, he felt guilty and repented; in the second part, Faramir, he was awakened by the scene of his brother; as for the firm Sam, his loyalty to Frodo And friendship always overwhelms everything and brings tears to my eyes. The desire of the Lord of the Rings is built on an infinite virtual premise. People's darkest desires are magnified through the Lord of the Rings. Boromir wants hegemony, Faramir wants to defend the enemy, Frodo's uncle Bilbo wants to take risks, Kai Landril wanted great power. These desires are relatively nihilistic in a closer look, and are pretentious by seemingly legitimate needs, so it can be said that the Lord of the Rings is a pure desire. Therefore, the desire of the Lord of the Rings is so vain, that everyone can overcome the temptation of the Lord of the Rings through their own more sincere desires, so the Lord of the Rings is like a reference, revealing the overwhelming desire of everyone.

Frodo is the one with the most complicated relationship with the Lord of the Rings, and he has to suffer the temptation of the Ring at every moment. Some people may say that in the end Frodo still did not stick to himself and wanted to escape and monopolize the Lord of the Rings; but throughout the whole process, Frodo moved towards Mordor almost purely, instinctively wanting to practice himself to destroy the Lord of the Rings duty of. Moreover, Frodo's desires are similar to those of Gollum. There is no ambition to use the Lord of the Rings, only possessiveness. The difference is that Gollum is completely degenerate, and Frodo is just tangled repeatedly. I have to say that the hobbits really have no desires, they are pure and kind in nature, and even Gollum has a rather good positive personality of Stringer.

The destruction of the last Lord of the Rings is also quite symbolic. The Lord of the Rings was destroyed in the greed. Evil induces contradiction, and contradiction induces destruction. In stark contrast, the Fellowship of the Ring team relies on mutual trust to support each other and achieve the final victory. And Sam, the image of pure goodness, appears with his family at the end of the film, symbolizing the existence of goodness. Because the human race, it is precisely by virtue of its continuous reproduction and survival. The moving of the Lord of the Rings probably comes from here.

  • 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!
