Didacus Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 One of the best details in the movies of the LOTRs, and most significant, is at the very end when Gandalf sends to 3 eagles to rescue Frodo and Samwise. Why the third eagle? Very few ever ask... and fewer know the significance. The third eagle was for Golum! Why would Gandalf send a third eagle? The easy awnser is that he didn't known Golum had died... The truth however, is that Gandlaf being the Christ-like figure of the trilogy, sent a third eagle because he still believed Golum was worth saving! As corrupted, eaten by sin and evil as Golum was, Gandalf still believed he was worth saving! The Lord Himself must have spoken through Tolkien on that inspired detail. Next time you think your sins are too overbearing, or that you truly screwed up too much, remember the third eagle, and know that God's love is greater than any of your sins.
