![First Time Watching The Lord of The Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (Part 1) [REUPLOAD]](/img/n.gif)
In the book, Gimli promises to set Galadriel’s hairs in crystal as a "pledge of goodwill between the Mountain and the Wood until the end of days".
Nice…true but also don’t the hairs have a magical property to them aswell? I’m quite sure that is the case but I can’t freaking remember where I heard that from honestly 😅🤔🤦♀️
@@sandrakiefler4649 Her hair is said to have captured the light of The Trees. But also I think Feanor or someone asked her for one of her hairs on three separate occasions and was denied each time. So the fact that Gimli asked for one hair and received three is quite a big deal.
The grave Gimli was crying over was his cousin.
Glad you eventually realised why they couldn't run on the bridge and save Gandalf....it was a longer way than you think too. It would have been suicide to attempt to save him.
I've seen a dozen or more reactors ask "Why didn't they go out and grab Gandalf?" I think the answer is rather obvious. Would YOU want to walk out onto an unstable, skinny bridge, hung over an abyss, that's only attached on ONE side and there's an ancient fiery demon below? The smart answer is HELL no.
EXACTLY.
With the orcs still shooting arrows, I'd add
They way I saw it was that everybody was too far away...and also, if Gandalf had seen anyone trying to get to him, he would have let go sooner.
Luke, it was all shot in New Zealand. Peter Jackson is based there. It is so fun watching someone see this franchise for the first time this many years after it's original release! Galadriel is my favorite character after Gandalf, and Sam. She is the most powerful Elf in Middle-Earth.
In the book, Galadriel's gift of Elven rope to Sam was the completion of an arc where Sam realizes too late that he forgot to pack some rope for the journey (it wasn't nearly as sudden and unplanned as it's portrayed in the movie).
Fun fact: when the orc threw the knife at Aragorn, that was the actor accidentally throwing it directly at the actor for Aragorn when he was supposed to purposely miss. Aragon's actor actually deflected that dagger for real
There are so many tearjerker moments in this trilogy and the score is amazing.
Honest Prediction, I will drip by then end of these 😂
@@NottsLaad I always cry at Boromir's death because of the moment between him and Aragorn. Glad you're enjoying it so far.
Watching these films in the cinema each Christmas as they came out was just magical (particularly for films 2&3 when I was home from uni catching up with my high school friends for the holidays )
Not so fun fact: poor Sean Astin who plays Sam stepped on a broken bottle in the river when he ran after Frodo at the end, I think the giant hobbit foot prosthetics protected a bit but still needed medical attention I believe
As someone who saw these in theaters when they came out, there was indeed nothing like them and it was quite the experience. They still hold up very well visually, in part because things that might be comfortably made using CGI today (like many of the sets), where actually made as large-scale models or straight-up were actually constructed locations.
When you finish all of them, you might consider watching the Appendices, which are documentaries they released with the extended editions showing how they made the films. They are pretty interesting.
And another great reaction. The water creature, The Watcher, really got you! lol
These are great films... can't wait til you do Two Towers.
Slimey things will be the end of me 😭
At least Boromir is here thank God 😅😅😅
It helps to keep in mind that Pippin is not yet an adult in hobbit terms. He's still a minor, and Merry is only a little bit older. So if you look at them as teenager and college student ages it makes more sense that they aren't very mature. 😁
Was really looking forward to this. Stumbled upon your channel by chance a few days back with the Part 1 to this video. Have been loving your content since, keep at it man.
Awesome reaction my dude! Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the the rest of the trilogy! It’s always nice to see a “reactor” who actually feels like they are invested in the story you know? I’ve seen these movies so many times aswell as lots of other peoples reactions to them and it says something about this trilogy that I never get tired of them or other peoples reactions to them ffs! 😅 subbed for sure man👍 I could say sooo much here but I’m quite sure that others have already fiiled these comments with the lore and all the little details about things such as the fact that when he hits the blade away with the sword…it’s real and other shit like that but whatever man…I’m just stoked for the Two Towers reaction!!!😉👌
The balrog pulling Gandalf off the ledge plays out a little differently in the book, but for this movie, Gandalf is at least I would say 20 meters away from the rest of them (at least, probably more like 30 meters for many of the Fellowship), and Frodo in particular shouldn't go towards danger it's just too risky as the ringbearer to do this (I think Boromir was right to hold him back at this point), and although it is delayed for dramatic purposes in the scene, I don't think there is any way any of the Fellowship could have gotten to Gandalf through arrow fire from the goblins before he fell. It's definitely a sad scene, but I don't have a problem with how Jackson portrayed the balrog pulling Gandalf down the shaft. The way it happens in the book is a bit "cleaner," but the movie version is pretty dramatic I think. Loving your reaction so far! I really appreciate how authentic you are in your responses as you watch the movie. Looking forward to The Two Towers and The Return of the King reactions! Well done!
In the book the rest of the bridge collapsed moments later, so Boromir was 100% correct in grabbing the Ring-bearer and keeping him from setting foot on it.
Definitely one of the more entertaining reactions I have seen. Very well done. Really enjoyed how committed you were to the story. Thanks for sharing...
Legolas is a wood elf - or at least his people are a mix of wood elves, Silvan, and grey elves, Sindar. The elves of Lothlorien are mostly Sindar. Galadriel isn't: she's the (second) last Light Elf left in Middle-Earth. (The other is one of her cousins, who doesn't appear.) The film crew used a special lighting effect just for her eyes.
The light of Ëarendil isn't a potion - it's more like a torch.
In the books Gandalf falls off the bridge immediately instead of managing to hang on for a moment (he says "Fly you fools" while falling). For the films they wanted to linger on the moment and have Gandalf and Frodo look at each other in order to sell the emotional impact better. So that's the real reason they couldn't grab him, but in the films the answer is indeed that the orcs would have killed them.
The Fellowship can’t help Gandalf on the bridge because:
1) Gandalf is far away, like 100 yards away (not sure why folks don’t see that the distance is significant)
2) The bridge is now unstable
3) The orcs are shooting friggin’ arrows at them where they stand; to go back closer to them to assist Gandalf would have been suicide
Sheesh!
At 22:40 the Argonath were erected by the King of Gondor about 2000 years ago to mark the northern boundary of the kingdom. The figures are of Isildur and his brother Anarion, who ruled Gondor jointly in its first years. Anarion was killed along with their father Elendil in the great battle shown in the Prologue to FOTR. The borders of Gondor at the time of our story are much reduced.

Why didn't anyone try to help Gandalf before he fell? Well, in the book he didn't hang on to the edge of the bridge, he fell immediately, so no one had the chance to. But in the film, there are three reasons:
1. The bridge had no columns or supports other than being anchored at both ends. One end was gone, so the bridge could collapse at any moment. In the book the rest of the bridge did collapse, only seconds after Gandalf fell. Anyone who tried to go out on it to help him would have fallen, too.
2. Who was trying to go and help Gandalf? Frodo...the RINGBEARER. Now imagine Frodo falling as well, and the Ring with him.
3. It isn't mentioned in the movies, but in the book Boromir, in the last couple years, had made a similar stand with a handful of other Gondorian warriors, on a bridge, to stop an attack of orcs on one of their cities. Some of his other men, already across, destroyed the bridge behind them to prevent the orcs from crossing, and Boromir and those with him had to jump into the Anduin River, which was dangerous. Boromir, with that dangerous bridge defense in his memory, was preventing Frodo from risking his life unnecessarily, as he could likely see the bridge was too damaged to go out on it, too...and Boromir was putting their mission first, preventing the Ring-bearer from putting the world at risk.
A note on the stairs and the bridge because reactors all the time get worked up over the inherent insecure architecture:
It's clearly a *defensive* installation - it's not *meant* to be secure and easily navigable.
Of course your reaction otherwise is awesome and even this didn't feature especially strong!^^
Best regards

Pippin and MERRY!! (Peregrine and Meriadoc)
NOTED 😂
@@NottsLaad Try not to be too hard on the little chaps - they will both have their moments
@@NottsLaad It's _way_ easier if you read the books, because you read the names over and over. As far as a movie goes, there are a _lot_ of names, mostly in Elvish, and so it's a lot. That said, the book _The Lord of the Rings_ changed all fantasy forever, and the movies are really iconic. A very faithful adaptation in terms of feel, if not always plot, (although usually you can just pretend anything not shown in the movie just happened off screen). I'm glad the CZcams algorithm suggested Part 1 to me last week, and I hope you continue enjoying the next two films. Like the (single) book (published in three volumes) it's one gigantic, epic story!
5:47 😂😂 Giirrlll aaahaha ❤🫶
At 13:00 most of the reactors I've watched don't understand why nobody went back to rescue Gandalf. In the book, Aragorn and Boromir did run back to stand beside Gandalf against the Balrog, but they were forced to retreat when Gandalf broke the bridge. An arch bridge missing its keystone has no structural strength, and the rest of the bridge fell in just as they reached safety.
Great reaction, can't wait to see the rest!
the third movie is sadly still the best movie ever made by far :(
Magnificent filmmaking - if you'd told me when I first saw Peter Jackson's BRAIN DEAD or MEET THE FEEBLES that he'd go on to adapt LOTR so successfully I would have laughed in your face. And loving your reactions as always, Luke - it's great seeing someone respond so viscerally to a film I know and love.
As to your question about why the elves have built such beautiful places to live compared to human forts? If you were approximately 8,000 years old, as I believe Galadriel is at the time the LOTR trilogy is set (she's one of the Calaquendi, the elves of the light, i.e. those have seen and dwelled in Valinor, the home of the Valar, who are effectively Tolkien's version of archangels) you'd have probably invested a fair bit in art and aesthetics as well. I mean, if you're going to be living somewhere for that long you probably want to to look as nice as possible!
Oh man, _The Lord of the Rings_ was already classically unfilmable, and then I heard it was finally green-lit but (monkey paw finger curls) Peter Jackson, the schlocky, horror B-movie director was going to do it? Gigantic sigh. But then the little director's diary videos started coming out and it was immediately clear how much the story meant to him, and how much he was a fan, and I was like "my god, they might actually _do_ it."
Something about the book triggered a love of languages in me, and when the movie started and Galadriel was whispering in Elvish and I could hear that all the sounds were right and understand individual words, I _knew_ .... I knew right then and there that if they'd nailed that detail, that I didn't have to worry about anything else. And so I was right. Not to mention the fact that the soundtrack does a _lot_ of heavy lifting, but unlike a lot of movies, I don't think any of them really need it. And so that plus art/costuming/set design and the amazing casting plus the languages _plus_ the soundtrack mean that yeah, book fans (of which I am one) can nitpick, but this really is an amazing adaptation. I remember thinking, "This is my generation's _Ben-Hur_ , I don't think another film of this scope will be filmed back-to-back and on location with the level of detail ever again." I mean, they build a foundry to forge the weapons and armor they used to cast the molds for the extras to wield and wear, lol. Everything's authentic in that sense.
I'll stop raving here, or else I'll never get to sleep tonight.
@@thenathanhaines Your “our generation’s Ben Hur” resonates so hard!
@@767wattsy Low-key plug, I have a video of myself on my channel reading "The Fall of Númenor" in Old English. (Probably use the chapters to skip to the intro or the actual poem, but...)
I've watched well over a hundred reactions to this movie, but I have yet to see any reactor make note of Sam's oxymoronic statement "Of course you are (going to Mordor alone)! And I'm coming with you."
Love it mate. Can't wait to see the other films!
They could not save Gandalf on the bridge. It was too narrow and Frodo was at the front. They could not risk losing Frodo as well.
13:00 to be fair, that was a narrow as fuck bridge, that had just partially collapsed. i wouldn’t risk walking on it.
It was imposible to risk going out on the bridge. Half a stone bridge is unstable. Would you send Frodo out on it? Pax! /ToZ
Los cabellos de Galadriel, tienen un significado y una historia potente.
No estoy sorprendida, ella fue super asesina
How many arrows does he (Legolas) have left? Funny thing: He never seems to run out of arrows.
Elvish is its own language, although made up it's not really "fake". Tolkien created this language and there are many people who fluently speak it. He made up the Dwarvish panguage as well but it's a full and complete language.
Don’t worry it’s PG-13 ha ha. I read that it used to be PG in the UK but had to be reclassified to PG-13 because of the violence.
Sweetheart, you’ve really never seen this?! My gorgeous, good looking man… we have a long hike together to watch all of them!
👍🏿👍🏿
😀👌🙏❣
21:55 well, not really. The movies make it look like man have created all the troubles because they "desire power", and thats alright considering how much info from the books they had to adapt into 3 movies while keeping it entertaining. But just fyi, its actually thanks to the elves that the one ring was created in the first place.
