Cheerfully charming romantic comedy in which reporter Gregory Peck falls for a

slumming princess, Audrey Hepburn. Bagged four Oscars, including one for Hepburn

in her first major role

The picture that effectively introduced the world to Audrey Hepburn, this is

feelgood fare of the first order driven by good old-fashioned star power.

Hepburn is the poised but pampered princess on holiday in Rome. Weary of her

official duties, she bunks off and ends up in the arms of fast-talking

newspaperman Joe Bradley (Peck).

Hepburn's performance still looks brilliantly fresh and she gets surprising

comic mileage out of her girlish innocent abroad act. As the affair gathers

momentum, an initially prickly Peck puts professional considerations aside and

allows himself to be won over by her relentlessly cute allure. Their romance is

played out against the sights and sounds of a beautifully shot Rome, and in one

of the many memorable moments the couple visit the Mouth of Truth, where an

ad-libbing Peck pretends to have his hand bitten off. The focus rarely moves

away from the stars, but Eddie Albert proves a great comic foil as a highly

strung bohemian photographer.

Nominated for 10 Oscars, not even a teary conclusion can lessen the appeal of

this unfailingly lovely fairy tale.

指环王

The enduring conflict

between good and evil

is the underlying theme of the trilogy, but Tolkien

develops

other

themes

in

connection

with

it.

He

explores

the

positive

and

negative

sides

of

power, the nature of heroism, and the role

of friendship. To Frodo Baggins, favourite nephew

of

the ring-finder Bilbo Baggins, is entrusted the task of saving Middle Earth from the control of the

master of evil, Sauron. Frodo's task reverses the basic quest pattern: instead of finding a treasure,

Frodo is sent to destroy what Sauron values above all

—

the One Ring. Sauron has poured much of

his power into the

One Ring to strengthen

his control over the 19 Rings

of Power. Of these 19

rings, only the Three made by the elves for themselves have never been touched

by Sauron and

his evil. The Seven, originally distributed to dwarf leaders, have been destroyed and do not affect

events

in

the

trilogy.

The

major

concentration

of

evil

confronted

by

Frodo

comes

from

the

Ringwraiths, OrNazgul, who are men enslaved by Sauron through the Nine Rings.

Sauron,

having

learned

from

Gollum

the

whereabouts

of

the

One

Ring,

sends

the

Nazgul

to

recover it. Since the defeat in which the Ring was cut from his hand, Sauron himself can no longer

assume a physical form. He can, however, act through those who have submitted their minds and

wills

to

his

service.

The

nature

of

the

Rings

of

Power

and

of

the

Ringwraiths

is

made

clear

to

Frodo

before

he

accepts

responsibility

for

destroying

the

Ring.

The

wizard

Gandalf

and

Elrond,

great leader of the elves of Middle Earth, determine who will accompany

Frodo

on his quest. To

match

the

number

of

Nazgul,

they

include

nine

individuals

in

the

Fellowship

of

the

Ring,

representing

the

people

of

Middle

Earth:

four

hobbits

(Frodo,

his

servant

Sam,

and

two

young

friends, Pippin and Merry); the elf Legolas; the dwarf Gimli; two men, aragorn and Boromir; and

Gandalf himself.

The

fellows

all

demonstrate

some

aspect

of

heroism.

Gandalf

has

an

aura

of

supernatural

power.

He

risks

his

life

and

his

power

when

he

is

pitted

against

other

supernatural

forces:

his

fellow wizard Saruman, turned evil by desire for the Ring; the Balrog of Moria, who leads him to

at least a symbolic death; and the Lord of the Nazgul, who is reinforced by the great strength of

Sauron. Gandalf’s heroism is beyond human imitation.

Human heroes abound in the trilogy: aragorn, Boromir, his brother Faramir, the aged Theoden,

Eowyn and Eomer (Theoden's

niece and nephew), and the many warriors

of Rohan and Gondor.

Boromir

at

one

point

yields

to

the

power

of

the

Ring,

trying

to

take

it

from

Frodo,

but

he

recognizes his weakness almost immediately and dies defending the younger hobbits, Pippin and

Merry. aragorn, descended from two great marriages of elves and mortals, has a grace and power

beyond

that

of

mere

human

leaders.

With

this

heritage

he

seems

like

one

of

the

great

epic

heroes

of the past, just as Tolkien's trilogy itself at times echoes the heroic epic world. aragorn

plans, leads, encourages, and heals; he is always ready to risk his life for the salvation

of others.

When the royal line of the great kings of the West is returned to power by him, the free peoples

of Middle Earth can again find justice and the age of men can begin.

T

he most

human heroes are the four hobbits. although at first they do not fully understand

the dangers of the quest, their commitment grows in proportion to their knowledge of the nature

of

their

enemies.

Frodo

undergoes

the

greatest

test

because

the

forces

of

Sauron

concentrate

their

attacks

on

him.

He

is

also

tested

by

the

Ring,

by

Gollum

whom

a

lesser

hero

might

have

killed for his own

safety, and by physical strain. although

Frodo at the last moment yields to the

evil pull

of the ring, he is saved by his own virtue: the pity that had spared Gollum. Frodo carries

a sword, but he rarely uses it, except when he futilely strikes at the Lord

of Nazgul; his heroism

lies more in endurance than in battle.

Sam, like his master, endures, but he is called to fight against Gollum, Shelob, and the orcs. He

delights

in

hearing

the

orcs

misidentify

him

as

a

great

elven

warrior.
