smoke signals

perhaps the most impressive scene in LOTR:the return of the king is the scene in which they light the beacons of minas tirith and what follows, undoubtedly helped by the stunning visuals and the rocking background score.somehow it always reminds me of the floowing exchange in alistair mcleans “where eagles dare” (after smith and schaffer [...]
