Sam: It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?
Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you… that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going… because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

I think its important that we keep finding a reason to live, to fight, to survive.
That indeed, there is something out there worth fighting for, worth protecting, worth defending, worth preserving, no matter the cost.
This scene is one of my favourites. It seriously deserves a standing ovation. Seriously.
Anyway. I'm so glad I had my Lord of the Rings marathon today. I'm feeling quite nostalgic and high now. All the usual sappy feelings that I get after watching Lord of the Rings are currently flowing through my body. I will never ever get sick of it. Truly my favourite movie trilogy of all time.Labels: lord of the rings |
