Virtual Salon - Heart Break Moments
Helm's Deep
The piece of the soundtrack named this is one of the more beautiful movements of the normal themes throughout the movie.
I was listening to it for the first time in a long time this morning, and picturing the moment on the screen, and remembered the hardest moment of this whole epic for me.
Do you remember the glimpse during the equipping of the forces, of the young teen boys, in helmets that don't hide their children's faces?
It broke my heart.
Not because it was calculated to make you see what the battle would cost, but because it put in my eyes a reality that was painful. Boys who want to be men, standing in the gaps, be it for the defense of their people, or the whim of a drug lord. Those boys DO die, if not in Helm's Deep.
This is the power a story can have. Just that one moment was enough to hit me with a tragedy that never let go.
What are the moments of stories that have broken your heart?
Or given you revelation?
Sometimes I just need to be reminded that stories are powerful. I'm sure you do, too.
