"Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" brings about one of the most satisfying conclusions in cinematic history. Peter Jackson perfected the task of personifying J. R. R. Tolkien's legacy through his directorial eye.
I wrote "The Lament," the background music, back in 2005. At this time, my mother had cancer. When I returned from the recording studio, we carefully helped her to the couch to listen, as she could barely stand at the time. As soon as she heard the starting drums, she lifted her head and smiled, and for a moment, I truly believed that music had the power to cure cancer.
