Gandalf Cohen, in Darren Aronofsky’s Lord of the Rings

by cat1788

12:15. Restate my assumptions:
1) – Rings are the language of Mordor.
2) – Everything evil in Mordor can be symbolized and comprehended through Rings.
3) – If you graph the movements of the One Ring, a pattern emerges – it is beig taken to Mordor.
Therefore: there is a Ring - it comes from Mordor.
(Saruman: It’s survival of the fittest, and we’ve got the f***ing orcs! Sauron doesn’t give a shit about you!)
A Middle-Earth with a One Ring that Sauron will use to rule the Fourth Age.
He’ll put millions of hands at work. Billions of minds – a vast land screaming in agony. A Dark Lord – a natural Dark Lord.
Evidence:
- The proliferation of Uruk-Hai.
- The wane and wane of Ent populations.
- Cycles of the Lidless Eye.
- The rise and flooding of the Bruinen Ford.
So what about the Fellowship?
My hypothesis: Within the Fellowship there is uneasiness also. Right in front of me, hiding behind the Ring.
12:20. Press Enter.

The film ends with Gandalf, clearly suffering yet another grievous migraine: he picks up a stiletto, a desperate smile in his eyes.
