8/23/2023 0 Comments Gollum lord of rings return king![]() His evil half senses some doubt in Sméagol and insists that if he can murder once (like he murdered Déagol for the ring) he can do it again. Gollum awakes in the night as Frodo and Sam are sleeping and goes off to one side to murmur to himself. Aragorn tells him to trust in what his heart tells him, that Frodo is still alive. Gandalf expresses to Aragorn his concerns over the quest. There Éowyn ( Miranda Otto) shows affection for Aragorn which Théoden notices he tells her that he is happy for her, Aragorn being an honorable man and the architect of the victory at Helm's Deep. The group rides to Edoras, where King Théoden has prepared a large banquet to 'hail the victorious dead' of the Battle of the Hornburg. As they are talking, Pippin sees Saruman's palantír amongst the flotsam and is entranced by it, but Gandalf quickly takes it from him and hides in under his cloak. Legolas shoots Grima with an arrow, but Saruman falls to his death, landing on the spikes of a large waterwheel. Grima ( Brad Dourif), who is still with him, stabs him with a knife. Gandalf shatters Saruman's staff, robbing him of his power. Gandalf opposes Gimli's call to kill Saruman, saying that the wizard has no power anymore and will pose no further threat. They find Treebeard at the tower of Orthanc in the center of Isengard, where Saruman ( Christopher Lee) has been trapped. Away in the west, Aragorn ( Viggo Mortensen), Legolas ( Orlando Bloom), Gimli ( John Rhys-Davies), Gandalf ( Ian McKellen), Théoden ( Bernard Hill), and Éomer ( Karl Urban) ride through the forest of Fangorn to Isengard, where they meet Merry ( Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin ( Billy Boyd) feasting among the wreckage. Gollum arrives and urges them to move on. The days are growing darker the closer they get to Minas Morgul and Mordor. ![]() Sam awakes and sees that his master has not slept. He dwindles into a hunched, furtive, slinking creature known by the unpleasant noise he makes in his throat - "Gollum." In the present, on the outskirts of Mordor, Frodo ( Elijah Wood) and Sam ( Sean Astin) are resting in an alcove. He takes solitary refuge in caves beneath the mountains, where under the influence of the Ring he lives to a very great age. Suffering terribly from loneliness and shame, Sméagol takes solace in his love for the Ring, which slowly tortures his mind. Sméagol is ostracized from his community and driven away. The squabble turns into a fight Sméagol strangles his friend with his bare hands and pries the Ring from Déagol's clenched fist. Sméagol demands the Ring, saying that it's his birthday and it should be his present. Sméagol sees him fondling it and as they both succumb to the Ring's power they begin to quarrel. He collects it and climbs out of the water. Déagol is dragged into the river by a powerful catch and discovers the One Ring glinting in the river bed. In the opening scene: a flashback shows two hobbits, Sméagol ( Andy Serkis) and his friend Déagol ( Thomas Robins), are fishing the River Anduin near the Gladden Fields in the North of Middle Earth. Gollum, and the Ring, will test Frodo's allegiances and, ultimately, his humanity. The closer Frodo gets to his destination, the heavier his burden becomes, and the more he must rely on Samwise Gamgee. Their hopes rest with Frodo, a tiny but determined Hobbit making a perilous trip across treacherous enemy lands to cast the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Still, in the face of great losses, they charge forward into the battle of their lifetimes, tied together by their singular goal to keep Sauron distracted and give the Ring Bearer a chance to complete his quest. Yet even with their courage and passionate loyalty, the forces of men, with Eowyn and Merry hidden amongst them, are no match for the enemies swarming against Gondor. He is aided by Rohan's King Theoden, who unites his warriors for history's biggest test. With the final battle joined, and the legions of darkness gathering, Gandalf urgently tries to rally Gondor's broken army to action. But can Aragorn answer the call of his heritage and become what he was born to be? In no small measure, the fate of Middle-earth rests on his broad shoulders. The once-great kingdom, watched over by a fading Steward, has never been in more desperate need of its King. Sauron's forces have laid siege to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, in their efforts to eliminate the race of men.
