The Best Movie Endings

Hello to all!  I thought it would be fun to share with you all some of my favorite movie endings.  Some endings are good but I am going to list the ones I think are the best.  Let me know if we have any of the same ones.

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King has probably the saddest movie ending or one of the saddest.  But I love it.  It rounds up all the times they shared together and all the adventures they went through to come to this point.  You don't want it to end.  You don't want to say good-bye.  But that is what makes it a great ending...you have connected with the characters, you shared in their turmoil, in their joy, you shared in their grief and had a connection with all of them.  That's what gets me.

But then you see Frodo smile and know that he is going to a better place.  And Sam...dear Sam. He goes home to a beautiful family and ends with these words, "Well, I'm back."  This ending makes me cry, but it is good.  I love this world so much.  That is why I will keep watching the movies over and over again.  You never lose that feeling when you hear the music, you see the Shire, you feel...home.  "I will not say, 'do not weep,' for not all tears are an evil." Thanks Gandalf.  I'm glad I have your permission. *wipes tears*

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.  I love the new ending to this one.  The old one had the older man who played Darth Vader be the blue ghost thing.  In this one it has the younger Anakin Skywalker which I think is way better.  It is so good!  Seeing him young standing there with Yoda and Obi-wan.  Love this ending because in the end no words need to be said.  You see that Anakin in the end was a good guy.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.  What an ending!  It brings us around full circle to the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring.  I love that!!  And then Billy Boyd singing "I Saw the Light."  I cried so hard at the movie theater, and I kept crying on the way home.  I think it was because...not just that Thorin, Fili, and Kili died, it was because it really was the end.  The end of all of the movies.  *tears*  Even though it is the beginning of the others.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  I LOVE this ending.  Sadly, I couldn't find a video for it in English.  It is so good though.  "In your world I am known by another name.  You must learn to know me by it.  That is the very reason you were brought to Narnia.  For knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." - Aslan.  And that name is Jesus.  That is why I love this ending so much!  Because I know Him by the other name. :)

 These are my favorite movie scenes.  I love all of these stories so much.  They teach us about friendship, loyalty, courage, and more.  They inspire us to do great things. To not be afraid to go on an adventure like Bilbo.  To not be afraid to take the ring to Mordor like Frodo.  To not be afraid like Luke to leave his home behind and move forward, to fight for what's right.  To go through the open door like Lucy, and follow Aslan, no matter what others say, and to be brave and have courage like Peter, Susan, and Edmund.  These are the stories that stay with us.  I shall end this post with the words of Samwise....

The C.S. Lewis Tag!

So today I am going to be doing Abby's C.S. Lewis Tag!  Even though C.S. Lewis week is over, we will never forget the wonderful author who has inspired us, encouraged us, and has shown through his work the love of Christ.  Fun fact, C.S. Lewis was born in the year 1898 and I was born in the year 1998, one hundred years later.

Rules:

1. Thank or link back to the blogger who nominated you.

2. Answer the questions. :) Put as much as you want, or as little.

3. Tag some of your blogging friends, to get the tag around!

 

  

1. How did you hear about C. S. Lewis?

 

 I don't remember a specific time that I heard about him, you just kind of know, you know?

 2. What was the first of his books that you read?

The first one I read on my own was The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe.  My Mom has read some of the others to me, and my Dad has, too.

 3. Which one of his book(s) is your favorite?

I like all of them, but these are my favorites, in no specific order; The Horse and His Boy, The Last Battle, and Mere Christianity.

 4. Describe what you feel when you read his books.

 

Excited, joyful, happy, and sad, especially when it is over.  Like a good tea that you want to get the last drop and then it is gone.  The good thing is is that you can always brew more, or read it again. :)

 

 5. How have you been touched or impacted by his works?

 

I love that he has put in Jesus in such an impacting way.  It is definitely not pushy at all and yet it is still so evident.  He has shown me to never lose faith, everything will turn out all right in the end.  That you don't ever have to be afraid, stand up for what is right.  And above all, never stop seeking the One who loves you with all of His heart.

 

 

 

 6. What would you say to anyone who hasn't read any of his books?

 

They are wonderful, you should definitely read them!  He did so much more then just fantasy, which in my opinion are still scrumptious.  He wrote things that make you think.  Really think.  And that is good, you don't always need to be entertained by a book or movie, sometimes its good to get your brain going and take in all that is happening.

 7. If you could write a letter to Jack, thanking him, or asking him questions, what would it be? (show us as your answer.)

Dear Mr. Lewis,

 

I have enjoyed reading your work, immensely.  You have brought into words things that are to hard for others to do.  Thank you for sharing your work with the world, the Good Lord knows we all need it.  You have a wonderful gift, and I can't wait to read more of your books. 

 

Blessings,

Morgan

 

 

 

Thank you for reading!  As for the tagging, I leave it open for any one who wants to.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

The Chronicles of Narnia

Narnia.  "Now then, where to begin?  Ah yes..."  I have always loved Narnia.  When I was younger I think that I kind of connected with Lucy the most, probably because I was close to her age.  I still love Lucy so much, she has such faith, hope, and trusts Aslan, even when her siblings don't.

 She never gives up and is so brave.  As in the words of Aslan, "If you were any braver, you'd be a lioness."  I love that quote.  I love her relationship with Aslan, its how we are supposed to have with Jesus, trust Him with all of our heart, believe that He is going to take care of every thing, and seek Him, even when you are the only one, you will find Him.

I love the others too, each in their own way.  But my ultimate favorite is...Aslan.  I am so glad that C.S. Lewis put Him in.  In what better way than a Lion?  He is the Lion and the Lamb, the Ultimate sacrifice.  There is so much Jesus in these stories that I LOVE.  Him giving up his own life for Edmund, rising again and conquering death once and for all. 

Sure they think that the snow is melting because of the kids being there, but I think it wouldn't have melted if it weren't for Aslan being there.  I mean, He is the one that sang the whole world into being. (I love that) He is the one who made the animals talk.  And yet, it was man (even though it was a kid) who let a witch/giant be awoken and come into Narnia. 

I honestly wish He was in it even more, I love Aslan.  I love how at The Last Battle Lucy says, "In our world, too, a stable once held something inside it that was bigger that our whole world."  Yes, and that is why we celebrate Christmas, because of Jesus's birth.  As it is coming closer, I get so tired of hearing and seeing "Happy Holidays," NO!!  It is supposed to be "Merry Christmas."  Even today some one said "Happy Holidays," to me and my mom, and my mom said, "Merry Christmas," in reply.  I am so done with people trying to leave Jesus out of Christmas.  It is called CHRISTtmas, and it is when we celebrate HIS birth.  Ughh.   Sorry for that little outburst, just needed to get that off my chest.

Back to Narnia.  Now I am going to do some C.S. Lewis quotes I love.

 

 

He has so many great quotes!  Thank you so much for reading!  Please, go check out Abby's blog for all kinds of posts about C.S. Lewis and Narnia.  Happy early Thanksgiving everybody!  I hope you have a wonderful one!
