You truncate the ending and then you wouldn't see the effects of the ring: "Time does not heal all wounds" is a critical and central theme. Lopping off the movie at the Minas Tirith celebration would be a glorious ending indeed, on the scale of the ending of Phantom Menace. But what makes this movie as great as it is, is the sensitivity to these critical themes, not relying on a crappy hollywood ending formula, and bringing the story back down to a human (well, hobbit) level. It's a beautiful ending. An incredible denouement that says that a "happily ever after" is simply not possible. Those who complain about this conclusion should give it a moment's thought. Please.
