Disc 2 End of Faramir and Boromirs flashback to
Treebeard and hobbits decide to go south at
Pippins suggestion. (Scene 13-25) (36
minutes-120 minutes)
Two Towers- part 4
The Lord Of The Rings
Strong suggestion For each of the groups of
questions, keep the questions together and ask
them as though they are one question with many
parts. Also just assume that a yes/no question
should be followed by some questions such as how
and why in order to spark discussion.
1) In the movie we see Faramir holding Sam and
Frodo captive and interrogating them. In the book
Tolkein does not go this route. Sam and Frodo are
let go almost right away. Do you agree with this
change by Peter Jackson, the movie director?
Why? 2) How do we see the devastation of
humankind in times of war at work in Middle Earth
amongst the people of Rohan? 3) Stop movie when
Treebeard and the Entmoot are trying to decide
whether to go to war or not. We see Treebeard and
the Entmoot deliberately trying to decide if they
should go to war or not. Are you more likely to
take decisive action or take the time to make the
right decision? What do you use to make
decisions? Be honest. Bible Passage James 15, 1
Kings 39-12 What does the Bible say about how to
go about with decision-making? Resume movie. 4)
Aragorn and Legolas seem to be arguing about
something. When have you let stress and despair
come between you and a friend? How did you
resolve it?

5) Stop movie when Legolas and Aragorn are
mending their argument and Legolas stops and says
That is no orc horn announcing the arrival of
the Lorien elf warriors. Have you ever received
help unlooked for like the elves of Lorien?
Explain the situation you are thinking of. What
did you need help with? Where did the help come
from? How did it help you? Resume movie. 6) Stop
movie for session after Treebeard and the hobbits
decide to turn around and go south. Treebeard
says I always liked going south, somehow it
feels like going downhill. Treebeard says it
takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish
and we dont say anything unless it is worth
saying. What do you think about this principle?
What does the Bible say about speaking and the
tongue? (Answer help the tongue is a small but
potentially dangerous member of the body.) Bible
Passage James 35-6 7) Pippin says Maybe
Treebeards right. We dont belong here, Merry.
Its too big for us. What can we do in the end?
Do you ever feel powerless in a big world like
Pippin? How can we overcome the powerlessness? Do
you just give up or do you find another way? 8)
How does Pippins logic sit with you? Pippin
says The closer we are to danger the farther we
are from harm. Does this make any sense to you?
Explain why or why not?
