Return of the King (Film) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 177

Peter Jackson's epic film rendition of JRR Tolkein's equally-epic fantasy book series wraps up with 2003's Return of the King, a flick many (including us) consider to be the strongest of the three. As Middle-earth seeks balance and peace, the forces of evil remain very much in play. While Frodo and Sam make a beeline for Mount Doom, the Fellowship and their forces fight for survival. With amazing performances, a wonderful score, solid CG, and an amazing story (of course!), we're sad to see Tolkein's Trilogy off. But fear not, for all hasn't yet turned to vain ambition.

Waheyyyy! My favourite film of all time 😍can’t wait to give this a listen, thank you both for doing the trilogy!

I always took the exodus to Valinor as Frodo and Gandalf transcending to Heaven essentially. They give up their physical forms, so in Frodo’s case his pain and scars of war, to return to the “Undying Lands” i.e. the place that is forever, heaven. Gandalf had served his purpose since Sauron was finally defeated and the age of man was now ushered in. I’m not sure what else it could be?

It’s not my channel, but “Men of the West” YouTube channel if you’re interested—that man has a researched video for literally any possible question you’ll have lol.

Quinn

Much appreciate, mate!

So the Lord of the Rings trilogy is awesome, but when Randal confronts that nerd in Clerks 2 is classic. Especially how he brings up the 25 endings of the movie. Something about Sam bricking into Frodo’s mouth. Spoiler the nerd throws up at the end. Great set of episodes btw

I love knockback so much. I used to skip episodes I didn’t know what the topic was about, but I was robbing myself. I haven’t seen training day or grandmas boy but I thoroughly enjoyed those episodes and they just made me seek out the movies. Such an underrated podcast. People shouldn’t let an unfamiliar podcast title lure you away from listening. I love these guys.

Basically Frodo went with the Elves with the hope that the 2 wounds he endured during the story, in hope of finding a cure to those wounds. At the end of the story of Return of the King you’ll see Frodo say to Sam “it’s been a year since the wound and I feel it as if it’s happening to me all over again” or something of the sort. Every anniversary of his stabbing at Weathertop and the stabbing of the spider, he feels those wounds again. He’s basically leaving with the hope to find the real cure to those wounds and in hope to forget the events of the journey to destroy the ring. When you think about it Frodo knows that he succumbed to the might of the ring. He knows in his mind that he failed, it was only the events of Gollum that caused the ring to be destroyed. He is seeking solitude for his physical healing and spiritual healing. :)

Except that isn't it. Yeah, he went to find peace....because it is basically Heaven....but not to find a cure. And Frodo was only allowed to go to the Undying Lands because he was a Ringbearer. Sam eventually went there as well after Rosie died (he was briefly a ring bearer). Also, the Undying Lands lands used to just be across the sea....but Man tried to invade it (could have been Elves, I forget). So Eru (God) was not happy and changed the world so you couldn't just sail there, It is still a physical place

I saw this film in theaters at 9yo and didn't leave for the restroom once

I was sandwiched between two buxom women in the theatre as a 12 year old boy because seating was sparse. When they cried it was like being in the splash zone at sea world. In my opinion, there is no happy ending for Frodo. Big book nerd here. The suffering he endured bearing the ring, as well as failing to destroy it, will forever corrupt him. He would never be able to live a normal life in middle earth. He essentially ascends to heaven (valinor) to spare himself the suffering he'd endure living in the mortal lands. Also, still have to listen to this episode been busy getting married. I have a huge hard-on for the silmarillion. I do not believe it's as difficult or dense to read as people say because I am a dumb-dumb. Also as well, A Song of Ice and Fire is one of the greatest book series of all times. If you have patience and a thirst for fantasy books, please indulge. This goes to LSM fans, Colin n Fam God bless. Y'all are too busy for this shit
