Just saw the ending of ROTK again on cable and I was wondering something...

At the end when they all meet at the harbor for the boat ride. Where are are they going and why do they have to leave??

Thanks....

BTW: I never read the books....

 
They're sailing off into the sunset, kind of like how Roy Rogers rode off into the sunset.
 
They are going to elf heaven

Oh, and they have to leave because even though the ring is destroyed, they are corrupted by it and cannot lead normal lives.
 
They are going back to the land of the elves. The elves did not originally come from where the LOTR took place. After the destruction of the one ring, the other rings did not work anymore, and the elves would have had shorter lives if they stayed any longer. Frodo and Gandalf left also because they wanted to erase all magical influences in the land.

Didn't stay through the end of the credits did we?
 
Wasn't there a thread about this recently? They're going to Valinor, roughly the quivelent of Heaven, and also the place from which Gandalf *originally* came, thousands of years ago. Wizards in Tolkien's stories are closer to being "Archangels" than the traditional wizards of fantasy literature. Kind of explains why there are only five of them 🙂

They're a bunch of pussies and dont wanna get hurt by any problems in middle-earth
They run to gray-haven where they're eternally safe
Kinda like heaven

Is it just me or was the end of that movie with everyone near the bed very homo-erotic?

The whole movie was homo-erotic with manly men in armor, Frodo and Sam making goo-goo eyes at each other in every third scene, Frodo, Sam, and Gollum getting in a cat fight, and Aragorn running through it all in purple velour. There is a good reason all the women in the movie (three out of how many players?) look bummed all the time.
