"Look, I know you doubt me, I know you always have. And you're right. I often think of Bag End. I miss my books. And my armchair. And my garden. See, that's where I belong. That's home. That's why I came back, 'cause you don't have one. A home. It was taken from you. But I will help you take it back if I can."

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) dir. Peter Jackson

Movie #38 of 2024: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Frodo: "We are bound to an errand of secrecy. Those who claim to oppose the enemy would do well not to hinder us."

Faramir: "The enemy?"

[He walks to the body of a dead Haradrim soldier that he killed with his bow, and turns him over with his foot]

Faramir: "His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is... where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there... in peace. War will make corpses of us all."

I adore this!!!!

This shot from The Two Towers looks like a renaissance painting. Frodo lifting the Elvish rope over Gollum's neck, both of them stunned by Frodo's merciful nature. Gollum's eyes in shadow, because that is all that he has known for so long. Sam standing in the light and holding the rope, presented as the voice of reason to Frodo's voice of compassion. A pained expression on Sam's face, as if he can already foresee how this will end. Incredible cinematography.
