He doesn’t have to sound heroic, he simply is heroic. By this point in the movie he has been through a lot, and he’s still on his feet, still fighting to complete the mission when his boss is about to give up. Sam is a 35 year old gardener who’s 4 feet tall. Instead he delivered it the same whiny way he delivered every line in the movie. This Sam speech should have been delivereee in a heroic and hopeful way. Great movies but the two worst actors were Sean Astin and Viggo Mortensen. When I read Boss’s post about Rush Limbaugh, it reinforced the same message: Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Those were the stories that stayed with you.Įven if you were too small to understand why.įolk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.īecause they were holding on to something. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.īut in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.Īnd when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Frodo.Īnd sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. This time around, I thought of the political state of our country today and thought: yes, this.
Sam’s speech near the end of the movie is so powerful and moving it still makes me well up every time I watch it. We’ve been rewatching the movies this month and watched LOTR: The Two Towers a few days ago. Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings trilogy is in my top ten favorites, both in literature and film.
