My media class just finished watching two Lord of the Rings movies The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Two Towers, directed by Peter Jackson. Three main characters I am going to discuss are Frodo, Gandalf, and Aragon. The three epic elements I am going to discuss are heroes and courage, supernatural, and Setting
In the first part of Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring Part 2 Sam went into the water to stick by Frodo after he made a promise to Gandalf that he would. Sam said “I made a promise to Gandalf don’t you leave him.” That scene was had a close up when Sam started to drown because he couldn’t swim. Another show of Heroes is Frodo took the ring from his father, Frodo didn’t know what the ring did until Gandalf told him. Bilbo Baggins had to give up the ring when he didn’t want to. It was hard for him to let the ring go but knew he had to pass it on. In The Two Towers Frodo had to talk to Boromirs brother after his army took him and Sam. They wanted to know were his friend was the creature that brought them here. Frodo had to stand up to Boromir brother when he wanted to take the ring from him. Sam stuck by Frodo when Brodomirs brother wanted to take the ring and Frodo had the courage to tell him NO! then Sam said “Stop we are going to destroy the ring. Leave him alone.” Close up of Boromirs’ brother’s sword around the ring on Frodo’s chest.
Next are supernatural epics, in Fellowship of the Ring the ring made Bilbo disappear, invisible, when he is talking at the party, he runs all the way back to his house , then is no longer invisible. Gandalf wouldn’t take the ring when Frodo didn’t want to give it to him. In The Two Towers Gandalf the grey turned into Gandalf the white after almost defeating that creature and it grabbed onto his leg and pulled him down to die with him Aragon and his horse after falling off a cliff while defeating some Orcs everyone thought he was dead. Then his horse came and found him. Galadriel gave a them a sword that lights up when Orcs are close, bread for all, daggers for the hobbits, Elvin rope for Sam, Light for Frodo, and one hair from Galadriel’s hair for Gollum, and a bow for Legolas. The rope that Galadriel gave Sam can untie itself from anything all you have to do is pull on it.
Last, about the Setting. The setting is first they are at the Shire, then go to Brey where the prancing pony and dark rider is, next they go Rivendale where they meet with Galadriel, where they get the gifts from her to defeat the Orcs. Then Mines of Moria, then Isengaurd where Sararomens army is, then they go to Rowan and Gondar. They traveled along way and beat a lot of creatures and had fights and wars. A lot of men died and risked their lives to beat the Orcs and they had some good fights all together this movie had a lot of lessons and screen shots. There are still hero’s to this day. They can be a childhood hero, or someone who has always been there for you can also be a hero, a best friend. Who can help you through anything.
