I didn't get sad until today. I was watching the extended version, and I saw the part where the elves are leaving for the Grey Havens. After reading your comment, I realise how sad it is, because Frodo and Sam do not realise how their own journey will end, and who else will suffer. *sniffle*

Before today:
I hadn't seen Fotr for a while, but had had a giant dose of TTT-itis. I was watching the Council of Elrond a few times, and I kept on jumping around in a giggly state at the fact that they were so clean and golden. It amused me that they were going to turn into such scruffy beggars. Especially Aragorn, who looks like a golden prince at the council and turns up at Helms Deep looking like Brego's latest chew toy (which he was, come to think of it).
