Life is like the journey of those two hobbits

I reviewed the third book of The Lord of the Rings on the train home two days ago, and just reviewed the Lord of the Rings trilogy again. I've watched The Lord of the Rings a few times and I can't even count myself, but every time I watch it, I get something. I guess it has something to do with my own experience as well. I was an ignorant student when I first read The Lord of the Rings, but now I have gone through studying abroad and working, and now I live independently. I used to go to watch handsome guys, to be honest, I like to watch handsome guys now, especially the scene about Aragorn, but there is always a subconscious resistance to Frodo and Sam's journey. But now I'm finally sure that the movie, or the novel's biggest revelation for me is the journey of these two hobbits.

From the very beginning, when Frodo took on this task, he did not strengthen his confidence. After experiencing the initial ordeal, Frodo began to doubt his original decision, complained to Gandalf 'why me', and began to think if he had not accepted this task at first what will happen. There must be many moments like this in our lives. Like Gandalf said, everyone thinks this way in an encounter, but it's more important to think about what to do next. Looking backward will only add to the troubles, it is better to keep moving forward.

Frodo and Sam endured so much more in The Two Towers that Frodo wanted to give up at one point. At this time, Sam's little universe erupted, and he published a touching long speech. The details will not be repeated, see the previous blog.

Aragorn is the protagonist in The Return of the King, and every time the two Hobbits appear, they are particularly worrying. Sow discord, fight against each other, fight monsters, and shake your faith at the last minute. It's not like some experience in life. There is no so-called hope, you only know your destination, you can't turn back, you can't back down, you can't let someone else replace you, you can only accept the test again and again, and you can only move forward step by step. Because this is your mission, or mission. I feel like I started to understand this state of mind after working and starting a project myself. I gained courage again from their journey.

I haven't read the original book and said it badly, but I'd say it's a great movie. It's also my favorite movie.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King quotes

  • 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!
