ONE RİNG TO RULE THEM ALL

 

" One ring to rule them all,

One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them. "

It is the most fascinating movie I have ever seen because the movie gives many important messages to audiences. I think it is the masterpiece of English literature. It is the adaptation of the book written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He has created a new world and a new language which is accepted as official language today with this book. He tells the story as if he is living in the story. It is said that, through his late years, he isolated himself from real world and began to live in Middle Earth. As he does not want other people to read the story, he hid every page of the story in different parts of his house. After his death, Christopher, the son, found out the pages and try to bring pages together. Although he was mostly successful, he failed to organize some parts.

 I would like to talk about the messages of the movie. I am impressed by the movie because every single character in the movie has an important role, on the way of accomplishing the quest. Even if most people want Sméagol to die, he helps Frodo finish his quest intentionally or unintentionally. Gandalf says: “Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.” Furthermore the character Sméagol is a typical example of human nature. He houses bad and good inside of him. From the beginning to the end, there is a war between bad and good inside of him. Also, even in the worst situation, people there do not lose their hope, and fight with courage. Aragorn says: “There is always hope.” Therefore, I like both the movie and the book so much. The movie explains its message in a subtle but effective way. However, some say good side is Christians while villain is Muslims in the movie. Haradrims, the corrupted men, get dressed like Ottomans, and they use crescent as an ornament in their clothes. Despite of this view, I still like the movie because I care only the good sides of the movie. As I said it is a masterpiece.
