Painful beauty - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I forgot to add above that one of the parts of the movie that gave me delicious chills and was both beautiful and painful was the part when Theoden rides down the length of the Rohirrim striking their spears with his sword, and they all cry "Death!" and ride across the Pelannor Fields to meet the horribly huge orc army. I also love how they showed the friendship of Sam and Frodo; how they embrace "at the end of all things," their parting at the Grey Havens, and the beautiful smile Frodo gives Sam in the elven boats on the Great River when, having just come to the horribly lonely decision that he must go to Mordor alone, he finds out that he won't have to be alone after all. So lovely it hurts.
