Return of the king
Tolkien
Gandalf’s plan to distract Sauron pays off: Mordor is emptied of almost all the remaining orcs as they have been summoned to defend the land against the assault of the army led by Gandalf and Aragorn. Frodo and Sam, after a grueling and dangerous journey, finally reach their final destination: the Rift of Doom. Frodo is about to cast the Ring into Mount Doom when he succumbs to its power, refusing to destroy it and claiming it for his own. Frodo places the Ring on his finger but just then, Gollum, who had been following the pair, attacks Frodo and bites his finger off. Gollum gloats that he has retrieved the Ring, but loses his balance and falls into the fiery lava with the Ring, which is finally melted in the very fires where it was forged. It is destroyed, freeing Middle-earth from the power of Sauron, who loses all his power and disappears from Middle-earth. Frodo and Sam are rescued by the great eagles, who carry them from Mount Doom, which has erupted colossally due to the destruction of the ring. After Sauron’s defeat, his armies flee from the Morannon. Men who were fighting for Sauron’s cause but surrender are spared and allowed to return to their lands in peace. The Dark Tower is destroyed, since its foundations were created by the power of the Ring.
The neverendi… story
In a special extended edition, new scenes were introduced that help to better understand the context of the film and each of the characters. These scenes were deleted in the original version because they lengthen the film too much and detract from its dynamism.
Then also appeared several ships of the Corsairs of Umbar that Mordor expected, to dock at the docks of Osgilliath, but to the surprise of the orcs, from those ships came down Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, who had taken them on board. With them came the army of the dead, which cleared the fields of Pelennor completely: all kinds of creatures that Mordor had brought to war were pulverized in seconds.
The banquet scene at Meduseld castle did not appear in the script, but was incorporated some time later because some plot threads did not start clearly, such as King Théoden’s doubts about his ability to lead or the relationship between Aragorn and Éowyn.[6] In the first version of the scene, the banquet took place in the castle of Meduseld.
In the first version of the scene that took place on Mount Doom, Frodo pushed Gollum and he fell into the lava along with the Ring; however, after seeing it filmed, the scene did not convince the screenwriters and they finally had the two characters struggle for the Ring (mirroring the film’s opening scene between Sméagol and Déagol) and accidentally fall.[5] The scene was also incorporated into the film’s plot, but was later incorporated due to some plot threads that did not begin clearly, such as King Théoden’s doubts about Aragorn’s ability to lead or the relationship between Aragorn and Éowyn.
