I fell in love with Tolkien's story and watch them again and again. I like movies that toy with my emotions. Two of my favorites are LOTR:The fellowship of the ring and LOTR: The return of the King. Even though I have watched it n times, I still cry on the darkest part of it. And laugh on the silliest joke. I cry when Gandalf falls into the shadow and when the ring falls into the fire of mordor (finally!). And how can I forget that charming Legolas. If I could date one fictional character, It would be Legolas, only Legolas. No, no, no, not Orlando Bloom. And for the record, I haven't seen Legolas fatally wounded in the movie, from LOTR 1,2,3 and The Hobbit 1,2,3. I like Smeagol. It hurts me when he felt betrayed by the master of the precious. He trusted again for a long time but loses it in just a snap (aw! so much drama for that). What will the middle earth be without Smeagol? The doom of men may have come if it wasn't for Smeagol. I'll give more credit to Frodo, for bearing the ring and fighting its temptation for million times. But he failed on the last one. Its ok Frodo, theres always a second chance. And the character that I like the most is.. tentenenen.. Samwise Gamgee! Sam is a perfect symbol of a bestfriend and for being a so called hobbit, as defined in the book as uncorrupted and pure. If it wasn't for Sam, Frodo might have died halfway to Mordor. I felt trap in the middle earth. Sometimes, I wish I have lived into those dark times, when I have to fight for my freedom(pero atik ra!) I want to see if I could be honored with valor. If I will be a casualty of war, then so be it. At least I have died fighting for something that is worth it. I'll end with this beautiful quote by Samwise:
Sam: It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.
