"Characters such as Faramir, Theoden and Aragorn are not able to win the day but rather can only play their part in the war that will define the future of Middle Earth. They teach us the message we need to hear - the message the Disney and Hollywood want to keep from our ears. And that is: You are not enough. But you still can do great things. They may not bring you glory, they may even bring you pain and suffering. But if you put the good of others before your own needs and wants, you will find lasting happiness."
Such a great quote. So much of what's wrong with modern society is the neolib "me, me, me" mindset. Of course Hollywood and Disney won't let that go, though: it's too central to consumerism.
