The Lord of the Ring, directed by Peter Jackson is such a
great movie, a movie worth to be thought
of. Movies tell stories. Same goes to
this. Yes I am just finished watching it. I came to this movie after watching
The Hobbit. What I learnt from this movie? Well that’s a lot. One of the emphasize that I would like to make, is on the ring. While I am indulging myself
in the hobbits adventure, there was something doubt me. There are many special abilities
that the story writer can equip it to the ring. For example, the owner of the
ring can become immortal once wears on it. But why ‘invisible’ ? I believe there are some reasons behind this.
If the danger faced by those hobbits are symbolizing the life difficulties in
reality, then the ring must be represented escapism. When they are facing threats,
they may use the ring and escape. But will the threats remain? Yes of course. They
might save their own life and avoid casualties, but it's just for short term.
The threats will still exist and continue to haunt at them. That’s what shown
by Frodo Baggins, the main character in this story. He insisted not to use the
ring while facing danger, as he knows the ring might control him and lost his
rational. He fought all the way and destroyed the ring ( escapism ) in the fire
of Mount Doom, though the journey is full of challenges, both mentally and
physically. This is what we should learn and practice in daily life. Bear in
mind, escaping does not solve the problems that turn around us. Let us stop escaping and face it with full of courage.
As quoted in this movie, ‘ Courage is the best defense ‘ when we are facing
strong enemies.
