For Khazad-dûm on Ice

For

What it means

A bundled, bearded man carrying a flaming torch races across a frozen river while Howard Shore’s “The Bridge of Khazad-dûm” plays. The grand, ominous music makes his awkward slipping and eventual disappearance into the snowy landscape look like an epic fantasy sacrifice, turning a dangerous winter mishap into a parody of Gandalf’s dramatic stand. It works as a reaction to overdramatic effort, heroic failure, or taking a trivial situation far too seriously.
