I don’t think anyone has any doubts that this is a real masterpiece. The cult novel by JRR Tolkien was adapted into a film directed by Peter Jackson, which was nominated for 30 awards. The three parts won a total of 17 Academy Awards. Despite the success, the creators made a few mistakes and mishaps that did not escape the watchful attention of viewers.
Failures happen in movies. There are plenty of them in The Lord of the Rings
Faithful representation on the screen is quite a challenge, as the creators of “The Lord of the Rings” have found out many times. Over the course of over 20 years, viewers have noticed many errors and omissions, which, however, are marginal and do not negatively affect the perception of the whole. This way, some people know, for example, at what moments Legolas’s blue eyes suddenly turn brown – this can be clearly seen in the scene in which he realizes with horror that the birds he sees are flying from Mordor. However, there were many more mishaps, both those resulting from inconsistencies with the books and assembly errors. The funniest scene is when Arwen escapes from the Black Riders on horseback. She is accompanied by Frodo, exhausted of his strength. When the camera zooms out, you can see that the horse sitting in front of it is not a hero, but a puppet, which the designers apparently missed during the post-production stage. Now fans have spotted another mistake, this time in “The Return of the King”.
“The Return of the King” is almost 20 years old. Now fans have noticed a serious inconsistency
Although almost 20 years have passed since the premiere of “The Return of the King”, which is the culmination of the legendary trilogy, fans have only now noticed the plot inconsistency that occurred in the last scenes. There was an entry on the website by one of the users who noticed the staff of Gandalf the White. His magical weapon was destroyed by the Wizard of Angmar. Interestingly, when the story ended in the Gray Havens, the hero reappeared, holding it in his hand.
A discussion broke out on the Internet almost immediately. Some Internet users tried to explain it, as rationally as possible, but most of the statements ended with abstract theses, just to find the reason for the mentioned inconsistency.
He could get his second staff from the elves
– suggested one of the website users. However, it seems that he was alone in this theory, because his comment caused rather amusement and became the beginning of further humorous messages.
Yes, and it was carved for him by Tom Bombadil
– wrote another viewer, mentioning a hero who did not appear in the film trilogy. Most are convinced that there is no point in looking for a “second meaning” or a hidden message in this scene, after all, filmmakers are people too, and mistakes are an inherent part of the creative process. However, there is a large group of people who believe that perhaps Gandalf’s staff was indestructible. This would explain why she appeared in the final scene. In such a situation, the Wizard would not be able to permanently damage it. Importantly, however, the scene of the destruction of the cane appears only in the director’s cut of the film.
