Mon Dec 15 2003, 01:17am Best. Ever.The words I keep coming back to, the ones that seem to fit this most astonishing of films best, are “terrible” and “awful.” The old-fashioned senses of the words are what I’m talking about: Peter Jackson has given us a grandly eloquent film that inspires more terror and more awe than anything I’ve seen in a long time. I can compare my reaction to it only with the moviegoing experiences of my childhood, when the hugeness, the all-encompassing-ness of movies in all ways — emotionally, viscerally, visually, aurally — first astounded me, when and horrified me to such a degree that I can still feel it.Of course, I had worked myself up into such a fannish frenzy in anticipation of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King that my reaction has little that’s rational in it. (I recently overheard a group of people at a screening of another film discussing how they’d found so “boring” that they hadn’t bothered with and wouldn’t bother with The Return of the King, and I honestly cannot fathom how anyone could say such a thing.) It was with as much dread as it was delightful expectation that I approached The Return of the King: Once I saw it, it would be over forever. Maybe I should save it, like the last chocolate in the box, just to have something to look forward to? But no, I’ve always been the kind of person who could eat a whole box of Godiva in one sitting.And then there’s this: Jackson has proved to us, with the first two films, that he knows what he’s doing, and that only by, like, throwing in some Ewoks at the Battle of Pelennor Fields could he screw this up, but there’s always just that little, tiny, nagging worry that the finale just isn’t going to measure up or satisfy entirely.

Which would be even worse than it might otherwise have been, seeing as how amazing the first two films were.But Return turns out to be a work of such vision and imagination that there were many moments during which I forgot to breathe — the impossibility of believing that I was actually seeing what I was seeing left me literally breathless. This is an immense film, as big as an entire world, filled with an abundance of hope to be found in the worst of circumstances. It is the same kind of leap above Fellowship and Towers as they are above the pedestrian filmmaking that clogs the multiplex. Even the most optimistic of fans cannot imagine what an extraordinary achievement this is for Jackson.

The Lord of the Rings, now that it’s wrapping up with the masterpiece that this film is, may well be the transcendent cinematic experience of our time. The Return of the King on its own isn’t just the best film of the year — it may be the most fantastical film ever to be about, simply, what it means to be alive and in the world.So, the whole nonrational thing: My eyes started leaking right away, right from the beginning, with the Ringbearer (Elijah Wood) mired in the worst place in Mordor he’s seen yet, with worse to come, and Sam’s worrying about having enough food for the journey home. “The journey home”? Poor, sweet, optimistic, determined Sam (Sean Astin), and here’s the beginning of that little trickle of hopeless hope that fills the film, and already I’m thinking about how I always sob like a baby every time I read about Frodo sailing off the to Grey Havens.
I knew I was going to be a dreadful mess watching this film, but I’ve never sobbed so hard at the movies, ever.Return so brilliantly combines the intimate and epic in the same moments that there’s nothing to do but cry at the perfection of it. When Gandalf (Ian McKellen) rides up the spiraling streets of Minas Tirith with Pippin (Billy Boyd), Jackson gives us the view from far overhead, and in the same breath we get a wonderful evocation of the world of Men that’s threatened and a glimpse of how small their hope of survival may be, residing in this one wizard and one hobbit.

' Once he was as great as his fame made him. His knowledge was deep, his thought was subtle, and his hands marvelously skilled; and he had a power over the minds of others. The wise he could persuade, and the smaller folk he could daunt.
That power he certainly still keeps. There are not many in Middle-earth that I should say were safe, if they were left alone to talk with him, even now when he has suffered a defeat.
