There was a shadowy smile on his face now. ‘The stars will still shine, Anborn, even if we cannot see them Beautiful line; and very expressive of Faramir's tremendous inner strength - he recognizes and reveres that which will outlast him; he can still appreciate beauty, even on the edge of the end of all things - very much like Sam here. Author Reply: It was of course inspired by that wonderful moment when Sam sees the stars and reflects that on a cosmic scale, the Shadow is only a small and passing thing. I was pleased to see that in the EE of RoTK: it's one of the comparatively few moments when the movie touches on the sublimity that the book quite often achieves. Pity it wasn't in the theatrical cut. There's also a deeply moving story of somebody after WW2 finding a cellar where Jews had been hiding from Nazis, I think in Poland. One of them had written on the wall something like 'I BELIEVE IN THE SUN EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT SHINING. I BELIEVE IN LOVE EVEN WHEN FEELING IT NOT...' There was more, but I can't remember the rest. So long as there are people capable of thinking like that, in the direst of circumstances, we don't need to despair of the human race. | |
