Return of the King (Movie)
The trilogy of Lord of the Rings has truly changed the way people think of fantasy. The epic battles, the danger, and the forbidden love is what made people fall in love with these masterpiece films. In this significant third and last installment of the trilogy, Frodo must complete his treacherous quest to bring the ring up to the fires of Mount Doom. But, darkness has almost completely devoured Middle Earth, putting Frodo and his friends in even greater jeopardy. The Two Towers left us with Gollum guiding the way for Sam and Frodo, along with revealing his two extremely different personalities. Gollum schemes ways to get rid of the “stupid fat hobbit” Samwise Gamgee, in order to steal the ring from Frodo. Frodo’s troubles only worsen after Sam is forced to leave. The eye of Sauron is watching his every move, as well as the rest of the Fellowship. While Frodo struggles on his way, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, must earn his right as the true king of Gondor. However, Denathor, the Steward of Gondor, is bitter about his son’s death, and will have no king sit on his throne. Aragorn must find a way to destroy the growing army of orcs, and distract Sauron’s eye so that Frodo stands a chance to destroy the ring. In the end, (spoiler alert!) Frodo bids farewell to his hobbit companions, despite their weeping and pleading. He confesses that “the Shire has been saved....but not for me.” Return of the King is an incredible journey in which all of the characters learn the significance of love, overcoming darkness, and perhaps most important- sticking with your friends.
