What is, in your opinion, the most brilliant plot-part in the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Unfinished Tales, the Silmarillion or any other book by Tolkien and what makes this the best and most brilliant plot-part? |

The Black Gates, when the Mouth of Sauron comes out. If you had not seen the movie when you read the book, all you have to go on about Frodo being alive or dead is the Mouth of Sauron, but if that's not convincing because he's evil, you've got the fact that he has all of Frodo's stuff. You're left in doubt as to whether Frodo is even alive anymore. |

For me it was the ending of the Return of the King. I was too young when I read the book, so I don't remember how exactly it ended (but when I re-read the series soon I will see), but in the movie I thought that the ending was brilliant. It has an actual point and kind of a moral. |

The ending of the movie ROTK is in the middle of the book ROTK. They cut out the rest of the chapters. 95% of them were boring tie-up crap, but the Scouring of the Shire would've been neat. However, you have to understand PJ's reasoning here: another ending, after the Black Gate, Frodo destroying the Ring, and Aragorn being crowned, would have been really anti-climactic.

Yes. I do not miss the scouring of the Shire in the movie. The ending of ROTK was awesome in my own opinion! |

While it would have been good to see the scouring, they would have to do a fair bit of work in the rest of the film. The section with Saruman and Grima would have to be redone so they could both die later on. The most brilliant part IMO was going through Moria. I loved the journey in the dark in both book and film. |

Would have to be when Frodo and Sam climbed mount doom in the book, and Sam saw Frodo as a figure in white fighting the dark struggling. And Tolkien wrote, his will was set and only death would break it.. AMazing line....!!!!!!! |
"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided! Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony! Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus | |
