The document compares and contrasts the films The Lord of the Rings and Braveheart. Both films feature heroes embarking on quests - Frodo and the hobbits seeking to destroy the One Ring in Middle-earth, and William Wallace leading the Scottish people to freedom from English rule. Each film depicts courageous battles against oppressive evil forces through the use of heroic and tragic music, symbolism, and conflicts between the protagonists and their enemies. While the films have similar themes of good versus evil, the evil in The Lord of the Rings is more supernatural in nature compared to the human tyranny faced in Braveheart.
