The Lord of the Rings rerun.
Who is the cutest person? Put the question aside.
George Martin, the author of "A Song of Ice and Fire", said that good and bad people, justice and evil have long been written by Tolkien (the author of The Lord of the Rings), and he will not write them. Netizens said it well, Tolkien is epic, Martin is conspiracy. Are the good people you think are good people, and are those who look like bad people bad people? The multifaceted and complex human beings and the unpredictability of life are all rubbed together. From this point of view, the character setting of the protagonist of Lord of the Rings is indeed "from one to the end", and they are both good and bad. But is it really so?
A question suddenly popped into his mind, "The Lord of the Rings", what exactly is that ring that looks mysterious and has no destructive power.
It is explained in the play that those who really hold and have contact with the Lord of the Rings can't help but not call it precious. They see the appearance of the fairies one by one, their faces are vivid, and their faces are full of desire. Even the honest and honest Sam was visibly hesitant to hand over the Ring, even if he only took it for Frodo for a very, very brief moment. So we know about the Lord of the Rings, we can't get rid of it, we are fascinated and addicted.
Like many who watched The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter at about the same time in those days, one of our little hobbies was finding similarities between the two. Sauron is of course Voldemort, Gandalf is similar to Dumbledore, the Ringwraith is a Dementor, and the Lord of the Rings is like the Deathly Hallows and a bit like a Horcrux. It's the ultimate weapon after all.
But I felt something was wrong.
When the progress bar of the story pulled to the end of "The Fellowship of the Ring", when Boromir, who had been obsessed with the Lord of the Rings in the Fellowship of the Ring, tried to steal the ring, I remembered the first "Philosopher's Stone" in Harry Potter. The Mirror of Erised, the mirror that reflects the deepest longing in my heart.
The English of Eris is ERISED, and the alphabetical order in turn is desire, which is desire.
Desires are addictive and irresistible, but they don't bring you anything substantial, such as knowledge such as facts (the author says), you sit in front of the mirror day and night, and eventually become its slave.
Thinking of this, maybe it's a bit of a touch.
The Lord of the Ring controls himself with his own desires, and Boromir's desire is to help the kingdom of Gondor he protects against his enemies. The ultimate goal of the Lord of the Rings is to return to the devil, and the bearer is destroyed by the devil. Desire is considered a not-so-good derogatory term here for now.
There are many people in Middle-earth. Wizards are Kochi and elite, elves don't eat human fireworks, dwarves are addicted to wealth, and the most complex are humans, and Tolkien left the sacred task to the hobbits. These small, naive people living in the Shire eat two breakfasts, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper a day. The little hanhans who love life and be content with happiness, they were originally indifferent to the world, but they were overwhelmed by the fate/author of the protagonist halo. Ahem, destiny is hard to break.
Ever since Frodo decided to do the task alone, the Fellowship of the Ring has split.
The more people there are, the more stories there are. The stories of Gandalf and Aragorn and their entourage fighting strange enemies around Rohan and Gondor are far more interesting than Frodo and Sam going through a cave and lying in a swamp, either walking or sleeping. No exception, I am always easy to be caught by the complexity or grandeur.
After all, this work is called "The Lord of the Rings", and I pull my eyes back to this seemingly weak story line.
The progress bar was adjusted again to the end of the third part, and Frodo dragged almost half of his life and finally came to the Doomsday Cave, the only place that could destroy the Lord of the Rings. If the story of The Lord of the Rings is so black and white, Frodo destroys it in the crater, and everyone is happy. how awesome.
Unexpected.
Just when we all thought the story would go in this direction, Tolkien turned his pen, and the sickly Frodo turned black on the spot, not faithful to his mission. I didn't realize until today that this is probably the most important part of the book, far more exciting than the magnificent army.
Tolkien wrote:
...
Frodo moved a little, and then spoke in a clear voice. In fact, the voice was clearer and stronger than any Sam had ever heard him use before, and he drowned out the vibrations and noises of Mount Doom, echoing between the ceiling and the walls.
"Here I am," he said, "but now I choose not to do what I was supposed to do. I won't do this. The Ring is mine!" Sam disappeared before his eyes.
...
Oh my gosh, desire finally conquered the most undesired hobbits in Middle-earth.
If the expedition of the Lord of the Rings is compared to the study of scriptures in the west, Frodo is a monk of Tang, whose mana is zero-hearted but kind and weak. He put on the ring in the crater, as if Tang Seng had met Tathagata in the Western Heaven, and he said to him without fear, "I want to go back to my daughter's country and marry my beautiful sister." Even if the Tathagata's nose is as stable as Mount Tai, I guess it can be crooked.
A story is a story and needs an ending.
Gollum, who had followed him all the way, rushed forward, bit off Frodo's ring-wearing finger, snatched the Lord's Ring, and accidentally stepped on the air in joy, and fell into the billowing flaming magma together with its treasure. (In the movie, Frodo and Gollum were scuffled and accidentally fell)
Since then, the Lord of the Rings has been destroyed, Sauron's soul has completely disappeared, the army of Mordor has been scattered and defeated, and the combined army of Middle-earth has won victory. It is a story of justice defeating evil. How exhilarating!
Oh no, it's not.
Tolkien wrapped up a very terrifying ending with a sugar coating that seemed to have come through hardships.
The Ring and the entity it represents (the ring) are destroyed, but not itself or its image.
In the end, no power can overcome desire, and even the purest and most harmless hobbits will be eroded, bringing out the 0.01% of evil that is buried deep in the bottom. Desire is not destroyed by other forces, desire is only consumed by himself (Gollum).
In front of him, the hot flames of Doomsday Volcano erupted, but they couldn't resist the coolness behind them.
The wizard Gandalf and the Elf Queen once rejected the Lord of the Rings. Don't try to tempt me, they said.
The Lord of the Rings is powerful, pushing their achievements to the pinnacle, but also destroying them mercilessly and destroying the world. Except for Sauron, no one else can control the Lord of the Rings. I think the author is trying to say that although desire cannot be conquered, as long as we have enough wisdom, cultivation and character, and have enough introspection and awe, we can win life when we keep a distance.
So the question is, who is the cutest person?
If I put this question more than ten years ago, I would probably say that the old fox wizard Gandalf, the peerless beauty elf Legolas, or the princess, no matter how clever and eccentric Jemerry and Pippin are, they are very outstanding.
Now I've come to my senses and decided to give the title to our Sam, yes, Sam who does chores for Frodo's sidekick is the cutest. A loyal partner, an ordinary person who keeps his promises, ordinary but not mediocre. Thinking about it, it is amazing to be able to do anything.
Sam's English is Samwise, and wise is wisdom. Who knows if Tolkien said that being loyal to the ordinary and willing to be plain is also a rare wisdom?
No matter how desolate the future is, the guy who eats must never leave. Who is cute if he is not cute :)
