A Look Inside 'The Two Towers'YbL中国英语学习网
"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" takes off directly from where the last one left us, and basically three plot strains are followed. The team who formed in the first film is now broken up, and we watch as three smaller groups journey across Middle Earth, each on a mission
The first team of Hobbits consists of Frodo and Sam. Frodo has the One Ring, and his job is to get across Middle Earth and penetrate the towers of Mordor and there dump the ring into a volcano to destroy it and restore harmony to the world. But he must do this without wearing the ring, which would corrupt his character. The second team of Hobbits includes Merry and Pippin. The last group comprises the warriors Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas.
Meanwhile, larger forces are gathering to unleash destruction. The storm is the unification of the dark lord Sauron with the lesser monster Saruman the White. It's Saruman who's unleashed his legions of warriors called Uruk-hai upon Middle Earth.
Frodo Baggins, hobbit: When Frodo inherits the One Ring from his elderly relative, Bilbo Baggins, Frodo must set off to destroy it to neutralize its violent power.
Gandalf, wizard: After learning that his mentor, Saruman, has gone over to the side of evil, Gandalf helps Frodo in the quest to destroy the ring.
Arwen, elf: Daughter of elf leader Elrond, this immortal princess is in love with the human Aragorn, and is willing to become mortal to spend her life with him.
Aragorn, human: Aragorn, the future king of Middle Earth, helps Frodo on the mission to destroy the ring. He is torn between his love for two women.
"Sam" Gamgee, hobbit: Sam becomes a loyal ally to Frodo and promises Gandalf that he will protect his friend.
Legolas, elf: An expert archer, Legolas puts aside his disdain for dwarfs and joins the fellowship. |
