Love Courage and Loyal

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2015)

Every time I watch the alight beacons to save Gondor among the white snow covered mountains, I always have a sense of awe or sublime. And the movie does pretty good in evoking that feeling because it gives gradual and long pictures together with music. During the unfolding of the pictures, I can not help but to ask myself " what would you do if YOU ARE the leader of the kingdom? Would you have the courage to fight for the honor of your country even facing seemingly indefeasible enemies? Would you have the courage to forgive the alliance that did not come to you when you are in danger? " And I myself have not been able to answer those questions yet. But I do think even if I do not have the courage at first, it would come to me after inspirations of other countries whose leaders agree bravely to help Gondor. And there are many other parts that impress me a lot. I still remember the eyes of Theodon when he leaves his kingdom in Rohan. He takes a last sight of his palace, of the supreme position in his country, because he know, this may be the last time he could ever to look at his kingdom. And the voice of Gandalf comes to him again, " so it is before the walls of Minas Tirith, the doom of human would be decided". At that specific moment, Theodon has a mingling of feelings, but he does not fear, even though knowing this would be an one-end journey which will never bring him back. So with the flags of Rohan, with the horse that stand for courage and gallantry, Theodon, together with his army, advances to Gondor. And I extremely value the decisions of Theodon, the king. After having peaceful and extravagant lives of king, I doubt seldom would have the courage to abandon the life behind and sacrifice himself. And Faramir,to show his talent to his father, summons a comparably and pitily small army to reclaim the city of Gondor, which is conquered by Orcs. In the city of Minas Tirith, people farewell the army and show them their love. Similarly, the movie depicts the eyes of Faramir, a cold, even desperate eyes, but not with fear. He feels death, but he does not fear it. Although at the end, his father does not understand he, Faramir is better than his brother, we as audience could clearly figure that out. Boromir, the brother of Faramir, died in the process of claiming The Ring, but Faramir lets Frodo and The Ring go even in defiance of the law in his kingdom. Faramir could summon army to, to some extent, give up his life just in the name of Loyalty to his father and Gondor. And here is Arogan. to distract The Eye so that it will not notice the track of Frodo and Sam, he, Gandalf and a group of soldiers come blatantly to the gate of Gondor, to defy the authority of The Eye flagrantly, to fight to death. Afer all the enemies have come out, the little troop of Arogan was surrounded layer by layer. They shrink in a very little size. But they try, for the sake of ultimate success, in the name of justice, in the name of promising future they envision in their minds. Eventually, at the last moment, gases arise from the mountain, The Ring is destroyed and the world seems to be reformed in the tremendous and unprecedented destructions The Ring provided. And finally here comes to the end. The best consequence that could come out of the situations. Everyone fulfills his/her dreams and everyone goes into his/her position in the peaceful Middle Earth.
