The Best Movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

Never, never has one movie touched me so much that I cried hard after I got up this morning just thinking about it. Yes, this movie is this good.
What set this movie aside from any other movies in the human history is not just the stunning storytelling, the simply extraordinary CG work, the breathtaking cinematography, the overwhelming music, the great, great acting, it's the fact that this movie combines them all and have so much, so much heart and soul! The theme of this movie is courage, love and friendship.
What touches me most is the incredible courage the characters have shown. When terribly out-numbered horsemen charging down the hill to the sea of Orcas, the courage is in their hearts; when Frodo drags his wounded body, crawling on the evil land of mordor with determination, the courage is in his eyes; when Eowyn standing in front of the most feared creature in middle-earth with her fearless eyes, the courage is in her sword... So many times they face the impossible, every time they carried on believing, "There is something in this world that is worth fighting for", and they did it when everything seems hopeless, they did it with their blood and tears. I realize why the battles scenes are so good. Yes of course they are the biggest battles scenes you will ever seen in the movie history, but never has a battle seems so human. You feel for them, you can feel their pain, their fear, their despair, yet they fight on. They are so human, the best kind of human. You may say, why do you get this excited, it's just a movie. Let me tell you my friend, this is the best movie I have ever seen in my life. I don't say this lightly, since over the years, I have seen many good movies. But this movie is not just a movie, it's journey to the land of good and evil, hope and despair, it's journey that you feel that you are one of the soldiers fighting, and you are right there standing with Frodo and Sam by the mountain of doom, you shed the tears and blood right there in the middle earth with them. This a journey 3 and 1/2 hours too short.
