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.

20 YEARS OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY
(DECEMBER 19, 2001)
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 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. Because they were holding on to something.
What are we holding on to, Sam? That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take.
The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East. A sleepless malice. The eye of the enemy is moving. He is here.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King (2003) dir. Peter Jackson
Boromir attending Aragorn’s coronation and feeling such an overwhelming sense of pride like “my boy is all grown up”
Boromir and Aragorn crashing together in a hug so meaningful and pure and Aragorn saying with great feeling, “The Lords of Gondor have returned” making the Captain of the White Tower unable to reply for the wave of emotion.
Boromir and Aragorn going on hunting trips with Legolas and Gimli and all of them ganging up on Faramir teasing him about Eówyn.
Boromir having a son and telling him the story of how he met Uncle Aragorn and their rampaging adventures through Middle Earth.
Boromir living to see the glory of Gondor restored.
The point is, you just have to play with the cards that you’re dealt.
Frodo, that guy is an ace.
Aragon is my king up my sleeve.
Gimli is my old maid.
Legolas is my queen. That’s easy. Give me a hard one.
That’s what Legolas said.
Pippin is the instruction card you throw away.
Sam’s a solid seven.
And yeah, you know what? Merry is probably, like a two.
But sometimes twos can be wild. So watch out.
I am obviously the joker.
End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path… One that we all must take.
