Storyline:Thorin and Company (with Bilbo who had secretly returned o the Mountain) watched from high above the wall as Bard and Thranduil (on an Elk mount) approached.The screen goes black and a title appears: "Texas 1868." The film begins with a frontier cabin door opening onto he wilderness.[The scene presents the visual motif of the framed doorway and threshold between the two worlds.The interior area in he cabin represents civilized values and the settled family.The brilliant, glaring, sunny outdoor area represents the savage and hreatening land of the western frontier loner.Outside, he rejected, drunken mistress tells him: "What a fool I was o fall for a man like you." After putting her in the cab with Sascha, he turns and sees Renault relaxing on the front patio terrace at one of the outdoor tables." A closeup (an iris shot) of a white-gloved hand holding a wedding ring in a small square box opens the scene.
