My father passed away a couple months ago and ever since then this scene just cuts so much deeper than ever before. I bawl my eyes out every time. Losing someone you love really does change you
With new Lord of the Rings movies coming out, I’m happy Peter Jackson is involved. But I don’t think even he will be able to recreate the Trilogy. These movies are everything to me
Elijah Wood’s scream at 1:44 stabs me in the heart every single time. It’s so full of love, terror, and trauma of fearing he will lose another loved one in the same way he lost his parents.
When Frodo looked back he saw only one set of footprints and asked Sam, “Why were you not with me in my times of need?” Sam replied, “Mr. Frodo… it was then that I was carrying you”.
I swear I cannot watch this scene without crying. Even after all these years. With Gandalf's words encouraging Frodo to keep going really gets my waterworks going. Even though he's gone Frodo still looks to him for guidance.
As a boy, I thought Lord of the Rings was about the soldiers, battles, and magic. Revisiting the series as a man, I understand now what Tolkien was aiming toward. The beauty of the series is found in small moments such as this, in the longing for better days spent at home and at peace. The moments we regard as glorious are often only so because of what they signify. A battle is a terrible, dreadful thing. But it may signify hope of brighter days to come. Sam fighting in the tower at Cirith Ungol is horrifying, but he does it for one he loves. The defense of Minas Tirith is a great example of this. Even though it has fallen from glory, the city is worth defending because of what it signifies and because of the people who reside there.
I remember my last year at school many moons ago, I was terrified of failing my exams as I hadn't done much work the previous years, I used to drop into this of an evening and it would spur me on. Now aged 31 some more tough times have come my way I'll be dropping into Gandalf to get me through. Here's to everyone doing what they can with the time that is given to them.
I currently suffer from an anxiety disorder that causes panic attacks. It's like I too carry my own burden with me. I often have the same thoughts "Why me? I wish this never happened. I wish I could just be happy like when I was younger." but that is not something I can wish so easily. What I do have power over however is how I manage this and get through it. I will see through this and it will shine the clearer. The darkness will pass. LOTR is very special to me not just because its a fantastic trilogy, but teaches so many meaningful messages in life that we all could use in times of need.
I wish i had a grandpa like Gandalf in my life, my parents were busted, and all my Grandparents were basically dead before i was 20. Thank you Tolkien for giving me pseudo lessons on life I should've gotten from someone else. I'll always appreciate you for that.
