You need to believe that he has enough fire in him to be King again. Thorin needs to be physically capable of achieving that and showing there is still a future for the Dwarves. In my portrayal, his age is more about his experience and his authoritarian personality than his actual years. (Richard Armitage)

At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. No record of it needs to be kept and you don't need someone to share it with or tell it to. When that happens - that letting go - you let go because you can.
