The War of the Ring is simply about Hope.

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2004)

The Lord of the rings is not so much a fantasy movie as it is the journey of a few simple people who get caught up in a terrible war that is not their making, and they are all assigned their burdens to carry. The movie is a journey in which each character reaches his breaking point. How does Gandalf's death affect Frodo and Sam as they travel to Mordor alone in the dark? How does the breaking of the Fellowship and the uncertainty of Frodo's condition affect the others?
In the end, they all must come to terms with the sole purpose of the War of the Ring. Not to defeat Sauron, or even to hold him at bay. No, in the end, the War of the Ring was only about giving Frodo a chance.
