What are the layers of context/setting in this film?
What we see is a group of people fighting for a common cause with many challenges along the way. What you don't see is the mental aspect of this journey: imagine being Frodo and know the fate of the good world relies solely on your courage and determination, that is something now everyone can accomplish. Or, being, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimley when they went to the Army of the Dead, no one had ever come back from the path that led there, and they had the bravery to risk their lives to save their kingdom.
Connection:
We can connect this film back to around WWII times, when Nazi Germany wanted control. In the same sense that Hitler wanted control over the whole world, Sauron, the evil eye that sought out Frodo's ring wanted control over the entire kingdom and to eliminate all of the humans, elves, and good beings in general.
