my favourite character after legolas, aragorn and gandalf.. the elf queen, galadriel
...and what a wonderful way to end it. the much awaited trilogy of.. may i say, the era has finally come to an end. three years of wait.. from gondor to mordor.. from helm's deep to minas tirith.. this wonderful journey, mixed with blood, sweat, hope and courage has stopped.. the fellowship has been broken .. but it stays in memories forever.
the return of the king was a very exciting ride... facing the breakdown of frodo and the ever-so-irritating-like-mr.smith smiggle (or gollum.. whatever)... and the fight at minas tirith.. i shed tears many times. haha.
i cried when frodo told sam to go home. i cried when king theoden died in battle.. i cried when merry and pipin were separated. i cried when the people of rohan and gondor fought bravely against the orges (man they are so bloody deformed). i cried when faramir left for battle while pipin sang. i cried when arwen chose to have a mortal's life. i cried when frodo and gandalf left for the land of immortal in the west (good things are always in the west huh.).
the two of the best men in LOTR
but i cheered WHENEVER legolas came on screen (mr. legolas did a lot of stunts and saved the day again.. as usual. blondes rock! haha.. ). he looked soo good in his non-battle elvish clothes.. hail the prince of mirkwood! he looked very good.. i cheered when aragorm, gimli and legolas (!) fought through the path of the dead. i cheered when legolas finished off that huge elephant-like thing with LOTSA STYLE. i cheered when sauron's eye exploded.. nice way to go blind.
it was a showcase of hope and courage amidst despair and depression. it was particularly inspiring to see everyone responding to gondor's call for help with the lighting of the beacons.. and how the orges showed fear when it seemed that the people of rohan were fighting with all they have. but the witch king quite lousy la.. gandalf say until he like very li hai.. but end up kena killed by a woman.. with lotsa pun intended in the show.. haha.. so sad. actually.. why did they win? because of friendship. frodo made it because he had sam with him. merry made it because he had pipin. aragorn made it because he had legolas and gimli. gondor made it because everyone else came to them. long live friendship!
aragorn is by far the most amazing and good-looking in this instalment more than ever before.. he's shown himself as a king.. and a very very sentimental man.. gentle yet strong.. his love for arwen and his capacity as a king really builds up in this part.. i think other than frodo.. he's the character that has evolved the most.. and he sang pretty well! his voice very deep.. mellow.. nice... and also.. pipin's song was written by the actor himself.. and i love it..
there can be no triumph without loss... no victory without sacrifices... and i could really feel for middle earth. i shall read the book one day.
the steward of gondor
Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shape
Hope shall fail
All shall fade
