#LOTR FRODO APOTHEOSIS MOVIE#

But along the way, they meet a kind hearted but mysterious man of action-Stryder (Vigo Mortenson) who saves them from a near scrape. Once they begin the journey, Sauron tries to hunt them down. We start in the peaceful shire where young Frodo and his friend Sam are enlisted by visiting wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellan-a dream) to take a mysterious ring and destroy it as the last and only hope to prevent the return of evil dark lord Sauron and his million hordes of the night from cloaking the land in darkness, evil, suffering, slavery, misery, and cruelty.Īn impossible task for a demi-God but this task is given to two small peace loving Hobbits who barely know their way out of a corn patch. The performances and casting are, in retrospect, miraculous.
