Lord of the Rings – Film Review
In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers the film director, Peter Jackson, reinforces the ideology of how people can change your perspective on life and the events occurring around you. Throughout the film many different characters help to change how other characters view their life and the events occurring in their world. Peter Jackson uses, The Two Towers to explain how one person can change how you view yourself and the major and minor events occurring within you and around you. The characters used, in the film, to reinforce this ideology of perspectives being changed are: Gollum, Frodo, and Merry and Pippin.
Gollum is a major character who helps to change how characters perceive themselves and the objects influencing their lives. The character whose perspective is most prominently changed by Gollum is the hobbit, Frodo Baggins. Before Frodo comes across Gollum he understands that the ring carries great power but he doesn’t have a full understanding on how powerful the ring truly is. Once he sees how the ring has caused Gollum to go insane his perspective begins to change. Tim burton once said “One person’s crazyness is another person’s reality.” After Frodo sees how the rings has caused Gollum to go crazy he realizes that if he is not careful with the ring, Gollum’s life will become his life. Gollum helps Frodo to see that sometimes you can forget how powerful something really is until you can see what it has done first handed.

When Frodo and Sam first come across Gollum, Sam thinks that they should just leave Gollum. Slowly as the film develops Frodo helps to show Sam that Gollum is not as bad as he seems. Frodo changes Sam’s perspective by showing him that Gollum is a living creature just like them and that he deserves to be treated like any other living being. By the end of the film Sam begins to trust Gollum because Frodo helped to open his eyes to who Gollum truly is. Sam was used in, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, to show how sometimes you are blinded by your perspective and are unable to see things in any other light. Frodo also helps to change Gollum’s perspective of Hobbits and the other creatures living around Gollum. When Gollum first meets Frodo he does not trust Frodo or Sam. As Frodo protects and is kind to Gollum he begins to open up to Frodo. By the middle of the film Gollum’s perspective of the hobbits has completely
