I watched the movie the day after I rewatch the two Towers extended edition
So I have a vivid chance to compare two different movies that takes place in Helm’sDeep
The Two Towers is a roaring river of excitement, The War of the Rohirrim is a wide, flowing lake — peaceful, even in the midst of battle. One is thrilling to the very bones; the other wraps you in an old, warm cloak of history and song.
Both battles tell of courage against impossible odds. But when the lights dim and your head rests against your pillow, it is the animated tale that lingers softly, like the last notes of a lullaby, sending you into the sweetest dreams of Middle-earth.
And so the two battles, though different in voice and shape, live happily together forever in the hearts of those who listen.
