Tear Jerkers II, Sad Story
Frodo_Lives

Reading some posts I have remembered more tear jerkers. They have already been menchaned but I will say them again. When Gandalf dies and the reaction of the fellwoship outside of Moria. Pippin is really the one that makes me cry. He is like so stricken with grief that he has to lie down and then Merry who is also crying is like trying to comfort him. Billy Boyd said on the commentary that it was kind of lik losing a dad for Pippin. He said that when your dad is there you feel like nothing can go wrong and your safe, but Pippin lost his "safety". OMG! That was sp sad. Legolas face when you see that close-up of him; his reaction to Gandalf's death but really his reaction to death itself. Hes never expierenced death before and what grief it can bring, Orlando did a GREAT job portraying that. Ok, another thing, when you see all those boys and young men being suited up in armour thats like 3 times too big for them for the battle of Helms Deep. You can see the fear in their eyes and it is so sad. The moms are like sooooo sad b/c they know their sons and/or husbands could die. That was so sad.

Another thing and then I am done, I was going to tolkienonline and I came across this story about after the journey and after Sam and Frodo had left for the Grey Havens. Ok, I was crying like a baby when I read this story. It has 3 chapter and those of who like Tolkien work will like this. The author did an amazing job and writing liek tolkien and I cried! Here's the link to the stories http://www.tolkienonline.com/docs/10394.html
