|Clear distinction between good and evil with positive themes of friendship, bravery, honor, sacrifice and overcoming temptation as well as redemption. Based upon the literary classic by J. R. R. Tolkien.
|This film shows Conservative ideas with Redemption being shown when Boromir dies defending Merry and Pippin from the Uruk-Hai after he tried to take the One Ring from Frodo in a vain effort to defend Gondor from Sauron's forces. More from Boromir, he shows compassion for the Hobbits when Gandalf died fighting the Balrog, and even though he didn't really respect Gandalf, he realizes that he meant a lot to the Hobbits, which he can relate to when he presumably lost a lot of friends when he fought Sauron's forces in Gondor. Aragorn is shown to be brave and caring for the Hobbits throughout the journey, and is not demonized for showing any confidence. He is also shown to be resilient to the One Ring's temptation, which represents sin. It also shows the value of friendship which is present throughout the entire trilogy.

|Strong portrayals of redemption and good over evil. Based upon the literary classic by J. R. R. Tolkien.
|This film shows the meaning of redemption as King Théoden of Rohan rises up to protect his people after he fell to the deception of Saruman. Aragorn also grows as a leader when he commands a group of elves at the Battle of Helm's Deep against the Uruk-Hai. It also goes against deforestation when the Ents destroy Isengard at the end after Saruman kills all the trees near Orthanc for his conquest of domination of Middle-Earth. Faramir also comes to understand what is at stake, and lets Frodo and Sam continue their quest to destroy the One Ring rather than take it to his father and Steward of Gondor, Denethor to get his praise which he lacked due to Denethor not once showing any care for him, preferring his older brother Boromir. Frodo also shows sympathy for Sméagol (Gollum) due to his history with the One Ring.

|Bravery, heroism, sacrifice and good ultimately triumphing over evil. Based upon the literary classic by J. R. R. Tolkien.
|Aragorn accepts his responsibility and destiny as Isildur's heir to become the King of Gondor in order to save the world of Men from falling to the forces of Sauron, and shows that he never loses hope even though for all he and his friends know, Frodo could be dead. It shows the meaning of bravery not only when Aragorn charges the Orcs at Mordor's Black Gate even though he's severely out numbered, Sam fights the giant spider Shelob after she presumably kills Frodo after the latter told Sam to go home after Gollum framed him for eating the rest of their food. King Théoden also comes to realization that despite his differences with Denethor, he leads the Rohirrim to Minas Tirith to save the world of Men, even if he dies. This good vs. evil story by J.R.R. Tolkien will stand the test of time for many years to come.
