"Wait...that's it?" Yes! Another true fan confirmed!
Yep! 😂😂
So many say exactly the same thing. You are left craving more
Boromir's fall to the Ring is the story's way of showing you how even an honorable, good person can be corrupted. Galadriel warned Frodo that it would eventually corrupt everyone in the Fellowship, so that is why he chose to go by himself--so it wouldn't destroy his friends.
That makes me wonder if even Aragorn would have ended up not being able to fight the temptation
@@viyctoriyareacts Aragorn, as awesome as he is, is still a human being. A very special kind of human, but a Second Born nonetheless. And as such, he is capable of of great good and great evil: "The same blood run through my veins, the same weakness" He is aware of his own flaws, in part because of his upbringing which directed him into the "good ending path", but, had he been raised differently, it could very well been him the one trying to steal the ring from Frodo. In his mind it would be for noble porpuses, such as to get enough power to united Men under one banner and vanquish Sauron once and for all, but in time, the Ring would get the best of him and turn him into a horrible dictator. Wow, that, as someone who LOVES Aragorn, is a heartbreaking picture.
@@KimitakeHiroaka Note that even two of the most wise, powerful and good beings in Middle-Earth, Gandalf and Galadriel, have a serious craving for the ring. In Frodo's house Gandalf was afraid to even touch it, for fear he would not be able to let it go again.
@@KimitakeHiroaka Boromir was also Numenorian, just not as pure blood as Aragorn. He momentarily fell to the corruption of the ring because of the mission his father gave him and because the fate of the human species rested on his shoulders. Even his father Denethor was an incredibly powerful and strong-willed Numenorian, he fell to madness because he started using the Palantir after his wife passed away. Sauron could not turn him like he turned Saruman so all he managed was to make Denethor insane.
Aragon himself implies that he would have eventually, but that he would have been the last to fall to it. "I would have gone with you to the end, to the very fires of mordor." This implies that he would have fallen when they were at Mt doom.
The bridge of khazad-dum is a defensive bridge, built to funnel attackers coming through the main door to Moria (which the fellowship leave through). Thats why it looks precarious and dangerous - its meant to be precarious and dangerous for any attackers coming through the main gate.
Many people watching this for the first time dont realise the Fellowship entered by the back door of Moria and leave through the front door. They also dont know that the orcs deliberately channeled the water to the back door so the Watcher in the Water (that weird evil creature in the water) would be outside that back door and stop the dwarves of moria escaping through that door.
Gandalf couldnt have been helped. Hobbits are too small to help and it was too risky for frodo to go out there with the ring. Lots of orcs were still shooting arrows and anyone who went out there would likely have died, which is why Boromir grabbed Frodo.
Aragorn nearly gets shot in the head moments after Gandalf's fall.
right, and their ultimate purpose was to make sure the ring bearer stayed safe & they were farther from Gandalf than what she thought too.
Your editing on the second part was perfect.
I love that you pause at certain points to absorb what you are seeing and then take time to elaborate.
It stops suddenly because it’s a three movie adventure.
And yes! Borimirs death was tragic. He was a great hero of Gondor. A lot of reactors disrespected him but, you could see the truth about him.
And yes, the epic death OG Gandalf was terrible but, as in the books, it was necessary.
I'm glad I was able to get the editing right! Honestly, at first I didn't really care about Borimir but then it was pretty obvious that he's a good person and he just cares so much about his people, I wish we could've seen more of him 💔
@@viyctoriyareacts We do learn more about him in the second and third films.
@@ivanperez2705 In the extended Version mostly.
Galadriel is very good, but also very powerful. The more powerful you are, the more easily the Ring will corrupt you, so she struggled to resist it, but finally did. This is why the Ring was entrusted to Frodo, because he is a simple, humble hobbit, with no power, and therefore he could resist its corruption longer than anyone else.
She also spent nearly 10k years craving power to be the queen of the world, and yet she chose to give that up and fade away. When you know her full story it is stunning how she could resist it.
You struck exactly the right balance with this one. Great reaction - I loved hearing your thoughts as the story unfolded. You hit the nail on the head with your take on Boromir’s character.
Thank youu 🥰
Agreed. Boromir, for me, stole the show in the first movie. Sean Bean's acting, even amongst ALL of those great actors, dealt with the most conflicted character. He pitched it perfectly so that, despite his more dubious traits, his ending was achingly beautiful. You took me back to the first time I saw it with your reaction. Thank you!
Galadriel's lines when she was offered the ring by Frodo: "In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me, and despair!"
Beautiful.. welcome. About Gandalf's death. Your second guess was right, he did fall immediately in the book. But even in the movie you can see that orcs were still around and started shooting arrows at them. So both in book and movie, there was no saving Gandalf.
That's so unfortunate, it really felt like he would be a huge character for more than half of the movie 😟
@@viyctoriyareacts You can see that though most of the fellowship is willing to make personal sacrifices to ensure the ring is destroyed, they all thought Gandalf would be there to lead and guide them as he had the most knowledge and experience of the wide world. Although his death comes quickly, the Balrog could have ended the entire group had the wizard not made his stand.
A scene in the extended edition of The Two Towers explains Boromir even more. It shows that he was under tremendous pressure to get the Ring and bring it to his own country.
I just finished watching it and yes it does make so much more sense 😟
Yep, that's it. That means you need to watch the Extended Editions for the next two films. You will love them!
Oh I'm going for the extended editions for sure, I want those details!
Gimli is from a dwarven city called Erebor--the Lonely Mountain. His older cousin Balin left decades before with dozens of other dwarves to reclaim the abandoned ancestral capital of the dwarves, Moria (Khazad-dum in the dwarf language). Balin occasionally sent messages back to Erebor for a few years, but eventually no messages came from Moria, and most of the dwarves of Erebor assumed Balin and his companions had died...but some held out hope that they had survived but their messengers were just intercepted--Moria and Erebor are hundreds of miles apart.
Very beautiful and moving reaction. One of the rare reactions that show both strong emotions and a deep understanding of what's going on. I love the way you pause to elaborate your thoughts straight away! 🙏 PS. Thank you for seeing boromirs value
Oh thank you so much! 🥰 (You're welcome, he was honorable even if sometimes it looked like he wasn't)
The bridge was made so thin by the Dwarfs on purpose: it leads directly to the eastern gate of the fortress so, if enemies breach the entrance even if they are thousands of thoudands they are forced to pass one by one, making their number irrelevant. A simple and smart dwarvish way of defending your home (similar to the spartan strategy at the Thermopilae in ancient times).
The bridge in Moria was built as a defense against enemies invading. Enemy soldiers would only be able to cross in single file, and easily be shot by arrows, with no side rails to support them. Since the bridge had no pillars underneath, it could be easily broken by the dwarves to prevent entry from that side of the mountain range into their city.
That is so smartttt, and here I thought it was only written that way to make it dramatic, but seems like everything has a purpose in this movie, nothing is random, it's amazing!
@@viyctoriyareacts Almost everything in Tolkien's work has a purpose. He created a totally detailed world, starting from the languages (he was primarily a linguist) to any other aspect of a very long history.
as someone who considers themselves a super fan i didnt know this lol thats why i love this world just when you think you know everything you possibly could about it (not saying i know everything) you learn something new
@@rileytruax766 Same here. One of the lines in the book I've always been curious about is when Aragorn mentions "the cats of Queen Beruthiel". Just another hint at the depth of the backstory...
Saruman, the traitor wizard, created the uruk-hai orcs in the caverns of Isengard, his fortress. Moria, the abandoned ancient dwarven capital city, is hundreds of miles to the north.
In the book, uruk-hai are simply the strongest orcs among all of them. In the film, uruk-hai are half-orcs, made by Saruman combining orcs and humans.
And you just started, you will be amazed by the end. Friendship courage and sacrifice are the core of this story, something we lack these days.
Couldn't agree more
You aren't the only one to struggle with the character's names, many people take notes specifically to remember who is who
The bridge was built narrow like that so that any invading army would have to cross it one soldier at a time, making it easy for Dwarven defenses to shoot them all with bows.
They couldn't risk crossing the bridge again because it might collapse at any moment, and the goblin archers were already within ranch.
It's natural too feel pain and anger at Gandalf's death, though.
Although your editing is broken and short in my opinion,
I do enjoy your passion. This is by far the best trilogy ever.
The lady Galadriel was very powerful. She had often wondered if she would be able to resist the powerful influence of the ring.
You’re doing such a great job.
I tried to make the editing better and longer but CZcams kept blocking it if I left too much or showed too much unfortunately, hope I can still improve it for the next times tho 😊 Thank you so much for your support and comment!
@@viyctoriyareacts yeah, I understand.
But, like I said later, after this comment, your 2nd part editing was perfect.
I’m really enjoying it.
Thank you 🥰
I love how they portrayed Galadriel in these movies. She’s incredibly old by this point of the series, and grew up in an age where there was some really incredibly powerful beings walking the earth. A lot of those beings were myths and legends by the time the Rings were forged, so it stands to reason she acts different
Love your reviews. These are some of the best movies ever made. On to the next two movies, The Two Towers and the Return of the King.
Thank youuu 🖤🖤 I'm jumping into "The Two Towers" tomorrow, scared and excited to watch it!
I absolutely adore your reaction to this movie. This trilogy of movies are my favorites ever. I'm glad you've taken this journey and do prepared to get emotional. After watching each one countless times over the past 20 years the same moments get to me every time and there are a lot
I guess I need to keep tissues near me again for the second movie (that I'm watching tonight) 😭
To clarify on the whole ''helping Gandalv'', the reason why they couldn't run and help him is due to the fact that arrows where being shot at them by Orcs/Goblins from every direction, had they ran out there they would of been an open target to getting shot, that is why Boromir stopped Frodo from running out there.
I think the main reason Gandalf didn't tell the fellowship about the balrog in moria was two things. He might not have been certain if it was still there, if it was awake, or if it was a demon, a dragon, or something else. I think he wasn't trying to keep it a secret, but he was trying not to scare everyone about something that might not even really be there, or might be down too deep to notice them. What Gandalf was really trying to do was avoid taking an even longer route, through lands with lots more people that might give away their plans & location. If they didnt go over the mountains or through the mines, they would have to pass through Gondor, a populous region with an active military, & would face a LOT of delays, or worse have the ring confiscated before they even got there.
Fun fact: Galadriel is Arwen’s grandmother. Elrond married her daughter and they had Arwen and two twin brothers.
At 14:30, Tolkien describes the Bridge of Khazad-dum thus: "It was an ancient defense of the Dwarves against any enemy that might capture the First Hall and the outer passages."
At 16:00, many reactors feel the Company had time to rescue Gandalf before he fell. In the book, Aragorn and Boromir run back to stand by Gandalf in his fight with the Balrog; they are forced to retreat when Gandalf breaks the bridge. An arch bridge missing its keystone has no structural strength, and the rest of the bridge fell just as they reached safety. George R.R. Martin is said to have been inspired by this scene to kill off some of his main characters in GoT.
Note on Galadriel: Galadriel is VERY old, Born Early in the 1st Age (the quest takes place in the 3rd age) many thousands of years ago, and she is very powerful, the ring gains power according to the power of the person its tempting, so it was very powerfully trying to tempt her , but she resisted it, in the 1st age Galadriel was banned from returning to Valinor for her part in the rebellion against the Valar (gods) and her part in the Kinslaying, the Valar decreed she would have to redeem herself before she would be allowed back to Valinor, by resisting the lure of the Ring, she knew that they had forgiven her, thats why she said "I pass the test, I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel"
If you'll notice, three major characters, Gandalf, Galadriel and Aragorn, all have the chance to take the Ring from Frodo. As Galadriel said, "[They] passed the test."
At 23:28, Galadriel "passed the test" by refusing to take the Ring when it was within her power. Galadriel was an exile from the Undying Lands, and her actions have earned her the forgiveness of the Valar. (It's a lot more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.)
You need to watch the extended versions of the next two films, they explain more about Borimir and why he wanted the ring for Gondor. (Hint: It's not because he's a weak person or a bad guy, he was put in a situation not many people would be able to handle)
Thank you for your reaction. It's beautiful how much you cared for these characters. We are lucky to watch with you.
Oh what an adorable comment, thank youuu 🖤🥺
Maybe somebody’s already made this comment but I haven’t read them all to be sure so here is my 2¢. When the Fellowship left Rivendell, none of them took an oath to go all the way to Mordor (except Frodo & Sam). Aragorn and Boromir were headed to Gondor, and were just going with Frodo because they were headed in the same direction. The same with Legolas and Gimli. They were just headed home(to Erebor & Mirkwood respectively), and while it was a little out of their way, the path that they were taking was generally in the same direction that the rest of them were taking & it was safer to travel together. I’m not sure if even Gandalf knew what they were going to do once they crossed the Misty Mountains. So really only the 4 hobbits were determined to go all the way to Mount Doom. Merry and Pippin being captured is integral to the continuing story, as is the three who go to rescue them.
Looking forward to your reaction to the Two Towers! 😊
That bridge in Moria was built small and thin on purpose. That was the route an invading army would need to take.
Regarding saving Gandalf: What were his last words? "Fly, you fools!" He didn't fall; he let go so they wouldn't try to save him and endanger themselves and the Ring.
Oh wow I didn't even think of it that way 😟
You can see that though most of the fellowship is willing to make personal sacrifices to ensure the ring is destroyed, they all thought Gandalf would be there to lead and guide them as he had the most knowledge and experience of the wide world. Although his death comes quickly, the Balrog could have ended the entire group had the wizard not made his stand.
Galadriel's reaction when Frodo offers to give her the ring shows that although she holds one of the Elven rings, even she is tempted by the power of the one and the lie that maybe she could wield it without being corrupted by it.
I too love Boromir's redemption and brave death. Frodo realizes that one by one the group would be tempted and the only way to avoid it is by taking the burden upon himself alone. Sam, perhaps, is able to follow because his focus is on his friend (and employer) and not so much the ring. Everyone needs a friend like Sam.
I remember watching your LOST reactions, and then you stopped... but here you are, back again, and watching my favourite movies of ALL TIME!!
Hey! I might get back to the Lost reaction later, glad to have you back 🥰
The bridge was made like that because it's easier defendable as with archers anyone trying to cross might just as well be dead and they couldn't help Gandalf because they saw that orc archers were coming and wouldn't have enough time to run away before getting shot so only Gandalf had to die
14:31 These types of thin bridges existed historically to bottleneck enemy soldiers trying to attack a fortress.
Making them walk single file slows their attack, while also making them easier targets for archers & to fight one on one when/if they begin to fully cross.
With the bridge half broken, it’s too dangerous to put more weight on it, especially for Frodo to risk himself and the ring. Also, the orcs were coming and about to shoot arrows at them again. Anyone on that little bridge would be easy targets
The Fellowship couldn’t help Gandalf because:
1) Gandalf was 100 yds away; a long way for at least 2 people to run back to try to save him
2) the bridge was unstable since half of it was destroyed
3) the Orcs are still shooting arrows at them; any rescuer running back closer to them could have been hit or killed
Not sure why this is hard to grasp for a lot of reactors.
Nice reaction otherwise!
It actually makes sense a few minutes later, but when you're just so into the scene and the emotion of it, you don't really think rationally 😅
I"m glad you're watching the Extended Edition of these movies. You will not regret it, I guarantee you.
Love having all the details with no cuts 😊
That music that plays as Gandalf falls? That’s the sound your heart makes when it’s breaking.
Edit: There were orcs firing at them from the other side of the bridge. Going out to help Gandalf would’ve made his sacrifice worthless.
At 22:10, Tolkien's scene is rather different than the movie. Sam and Frodo take turns looking into the Mirror. Sam sees a series of visions, some of which imply that something is not right with the Shire. Frodo sees several scenes which seem to be related to the history of the Ring, but just as the visions fade and Frodo is about to turn away, the Mirror goes utterly black, and it is filled with the Eye of Sauron. The movie shows the Eye several times, but in the book, this is the only time we see it full on, and Frodo falls back, shaking all over. It is one of the most dramatic scenes in the book.
I won’t lie. I tend to like and subscribe to anyone who reacts to this trilogy and this is one of the best reactions I’ve yet seen.
Omg, what a compliment, thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride 🖤
@@viyctoriyareacts thank you! I’ll be here for the rest of it. 🙏
At 6:00, Saruman had excavated his Orc factory below Isengard; this area is far away from Saruman.
Boromir is in all our hearts. Humans are flawed. But to have the strength to redeem ourselves is what we should strive to. It is never to late to be good.
This 💯
An interesting fact- In the scene where the Uruk-Hai throws Aragorn's dagger at him that dagger was real! The actor was supposed to throw it far to Aragorn's left and a separate scene with him throwing a rubber dagger at Aragorn would be inserted in post production. When the Actor threw the real dagger towards Aragorn , the forehead piece of his makeup/costume slipped over his' eyes and he threw it directly at Viggo! Viggo actually blocked it with his sword.! Peter Jackson was so impressed that they never filmed the rubber dagger scene and used the actual take!
Omgg that's scary and amazing!
We all love boramir, a true soldier thanks for the reaction!!
they couldnt help Gandalf, the orcs were shooting arrows and Gandalf knew if they helped him they probably would have died, so he sacrificed himself and told them to Fly you fools!
At 4:30, Peter Jackson & Co. had to keep the action moving, so they glossed over the fate of these Dwarves. If you read The Hobbit or watch the Hobbit movies, you'll meet Balin son of Fundin, one of Thorin Oakenshield's twelve companions and Bilbo's particular friend. He and a group of other Dwarves had attempted to recolonize Moria, which in previous ages had been one of the chief realms of the Dwarves until its destruction many years previously. Reports had come originally that Balin and his people had entered Moria and begun a great work, but all reports had then ceased. Here we see the reason for no additional messages; Balin and his people had been dead now for about 25 years.
Aragorn took Boromir's bracers (forearm armor) as a reminder of Aragorn's promise to not let the White City fall or their people fail. Look at Aragorn's wrists to remember Boromir!
That's so cool 🥺
@@viyctoriyareacts Boromir was my favorite. He has Numenorian blood the same as Aragorn, just not as pure. Watch the extended versions and you get a Boromir treat in The Two Towers.
The door to Moria was created in much simpler days. Back then, it was safe to assume anybody who might pose a threat, could not read elvish.
So they just wrote the password above the door.
At least they wrote it like a riddle, so it's still a bit safe
This one was definitely edited better than the first part. Thank you for keeping the drama and other good parts! I hope you continue watching the series. There are two more movies in The Lord of the Rings, and then more movies for the book that came before, The Hobbit!
Thank you! The second movie is coming soon, I'm finishing the editing 😉
At 40:16 you say, "I'm tempted to jump right now into the next movie." When FOTR came out in December 2001, we all had to wait an entire year for the next movie! Enjoyed your second part a lot more than the first--you're learning as you go!
Thank youu, I'm taking everyone's opinion and advice as I go so the videos get better and smoother to watch for the viewers! I'm so so soooo glad I don't have to wait a year between each movie, omg 😂
What Gandalf says to the balrog on the bridge is basically this: "I am a servant of God, demon of hell! Your evil powers will not help you against me!"
What is not clear in the movie is that Gandalf is not human or elf. He is a maia, which is the Middle-Earth equivalent of an angel. He was sent by the Valar (greater angels) to give aid to the free people of Middle-Earth to stand against Sauron and his forces. He and the other wizards came to the lands of Middle-Earth thousands of years ago, in the forms of old men, and were forbidden to use their full powers, and to not rule over others, but simply help them. Gandalf was the only wizard who stayed true to his original mission.
Omg, I wish that was said in the movie, it makes it even more tragic and dramatic
@@viyctoriyareactsthe Balrog is also Maiar like gandalf, but they have fallen. Because they are also Maiar "angels" like gandalf, he is allowed to use some of his tremendous power when fighting it.
@@thomassavage-hx6ux Wow, I never thought of it like that, but that makes perfect sense. Thanks for your comment.😊
Well you are forgetting Radagast the Brown. He was also a wizard sent by the Valar who, briefly, helps out the Hobbits and speaks with Gandalf about the roads near Bree. He isn't in the movies but Peter Jackson puts him in The Hobbit movies (blech).
Loved your reaction to part one, but this reaction was simply amazing. Great job on improving your edits. You captured everything well in this one. I loved your emotional investment and your deep level of care for the characters. Your eyes were mesmerizing to me, as their expressiveness and intelligence revealed the True depth of your Soul. It's quite evident that you have a really big Heart. Thanks for sharing It with Us...
Omg what a beautiful comment! 🖤 Thank youuu, that really made my day, you have a really beautiful way of writing things. Hope amazing things happen to you this week 🥰
I love when the second arrow hits Boromir you gasped as you were hitten also! Seeing Boromir sacrifice and redeeming himself really hits hard.
It really does, omg 💔
great video i like hearing your impression, looking forward to seeing your take on the rest of the movies
Thank youu 🥰 Next movie should be up by tomorrow!
I loved your reaction! Hopefully you can get captions going for the next one! I particularly love that you pause the film and tell us how you are feeling in each moment. I also like that you saw the heroism of Boromir and that it was the ring that corrupted him. Many people blame him initially, but not you. His death is my favorite in all of cinema. I can’t wait for you to see the rest of the trilogy. They are my favorite movies, and I know you are going to love the next ones
Thank youuu! 🥰 I'm honestly always a little bit surprised when I get comments telling me that some people blame him, he was my second favorite character so I assumed he must be liked by everyone who watches the show too! (I'll see what I can do for the third movie to make the volumes better, because the second is already recorded and will be up soon 😊)
@@viyctoriyareacts
Keep a box of tissues with you for the third film. It hits the emotions HARD
No, they didn’t have time to run to save Gandalf. Look back at the previous scene and you’ll see how far off the bridge they have gone. Gandalf held the Balrog at bay so that the rest did have time to escape. Boromir is bewitched by the ring, he isn’t really evil or bad. He was a hero. Now onto the next film!
I love that you used the map of Middle-earth as a screen cover. It is a work of art in itself. ❤
Aw thank you for noticing 🥰🖤
I enjoyed your reaction a lot!
You are very sharp-minded and empathetic that was very enjoyable
Im happy you watching the extended cut and the longer version in your cut is great, for such a long movie it has to be a little longer :)
I'm excited to watch the other 2 movies here so lezzgo
Aww thank youuu 🥰 I'm happy you enjoyed it, trying to post the next video tonight or tomorrow morning (depending on CZcams 😅)
Nobody could help Gandalf.
They were far and the orcs were shooting arrows
thats the thing about corruption it is still you but the temptation silences your morals and makes you willing to do anything to keep the ring thats why frodo and aragorn are such strong characters so far they are the only 2 people who have been able to resist the rings temptation
As a movie viewer, because of all the close ups, we lose a bit of perspective on how far away Gandalf really is on the bridge from the rest of the characters. It’s at least 30 meters if not more. Also, all that matters is destroying the ring. Boromir was right to hold Frodo back I think because it’s just too risky for anyone, especially Frodo, to run out on the damaged bridge. It is a heartbreaking loss, no doubt about it, but not helping Gandalf is the right call I think. In the book, it happens a lot more quickly. Jackson’s film version has Gandalf’s fall much more drawn out in time. But it’s so dramatic that I think it’s worth it.
Saruman sure IS scary... 🙂The actor playing him, Christopher Lee, played Dracula in many movies before LOTR was made! You are very perceptive about many of the subtle shades of meaning in the story. I also believe that you understood and believed in Boromir more than almost anyone I have seen react to this movie, even before his redemption in battle. There is backstory relating to him in the next move. that you will find revealing. Looking forward to two more movies! Oh, by the way - Allez Les Bleus!!
I'm so hyped for the next movie! Also, thank youu, France had a loud night after that win haha 🇫🇷
It's important to know that Boromirs kingdom of Gondor is right on the border of Mordor. Boromir and the Gondorians have been desperately fighting to hold back the armies of Sauron. He sees the ring as the best hope he has to save his people. When he tries to take the ring it's not for personal glory, he does it out of a sense of duty. The way he sees it, to entrust this powerful weapon to such a small and weak creature as a hobbit is foolish.
At 42:35, it appears that the Uruk-hai are running parallel to the river, but actually they are running east while the Company is floating south down the River Anduin. Their paths will ultimately intersect at Amon Hen, near the great waterfall Rauros.
Thank you! I was confused a little bit about this, thanks for explaining 😅
I think you found a very nice balance between movie watching with comments and stopping to speak your mind.
Honestly its why I watched your video. I wanted to know if you would like this style of fantasy because no offense, you and I appear to be very different people but art and especially great art is the something we can all appreciate and it brings us together as a consequence.
Great video. More please.
That's the beauty of it, sometimes people can be so different in so many ways but still appreciate the same things 😉 And yup, I'm a big fan of fantasy movies and shows 🥰
I’m so glad I found your channel, I think you’re gonna do a great job with the movies.
Thank youuu, I'm happy to have you here 😉
At 2:00, in smaller lettering below the main inscription, we find that Celebrimbor, who forged the Great Rings, also wrote this inscription.
Oh wow, the details...
Hay un poema, muy hermoso, sobre el lamento de Faramir preguntándo a los vientos por Borimir. 😢
"Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows,
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?'
'I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey.
I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.'
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.'
Then Legolas sang:
'From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones;
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
'What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.'
'Ask me not where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!'
'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth.'
Then Aragorn sang:
'From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'"
You can see how hard Gandalf war struggling to stay on the ledge. At that point the demon's weight was still pulling him down. The combination of that and the bridge crumbling made it impossible to help him which is why he told them to flee.
That makes sense but still... Gandalf is a huge loss for the movie, to me 😟
The balrog's whip was not still around Gandalf's ankles when he was hanging on the edge of the bridge. Also, that was a flying bridge--one with no pillars or supports other than the anchors of either end. In the book the rest of the bridge collapsed moments after Gandalf fell into the abyss. If anyone had run back on the bridge to try to rescue Gandalf, they'd have fallen too. If Frodo had run back, that would have been disaster for the entire world. Boromir was right to grab Frodo and keep him from impetuously running to help Gandalf.
In the book Gandalf didn't have a dramatic several seconds of hanging on the bridge. The whip immediately dragged him off and down, and he shouted "Fly, you fools!" as he was falling away from them. This was accurately portrayed in the Ralph Bakshi cartoon of 1978.
then explain why Gandalf was struggling so hard to keep himself on the ledge in the movie. They made it look obvious that something was pulling on him. But you have a point, it looks like when he's falling that the Balrog is further down . Myself, I believe they messed up this part of the movie and showed two contradictory things, it really doesn't make sense as it is portrayed
"Isn't that the meme?"
Love it.
Great reaction.
Thank youuu 🥰
First, Pippin tries to burn Bilbo alive with fireworks on his birthday.
Second, he tackles Frodo in Farmer Maggot’s corn field.
Third, he tries to out Frodo at the pub which leads to the night raid by the Nazgûl.
Forth, he alerts the Nazgûl of Frodo’s location where they stab him in the shoulder.
Fifth, he alerts every goblin in Moria of Frodo’s arrival leading to his second stabbing attempt and the fall of Gandalf.
No one in Middle Earth did more to serve the will of Sauron then Pippin. Luckily for Frodo, Saruman had his back and sent an ambush of Uruk-Hai to save Frodo from Pippin and Boromir.
Sixth, in retaliation for thwarting Pippins plans to destroy Middle Earth, Pippin has Saruman’s entire army, servants and staff executed via ents and wild trees.
Omg, I'm sorry but your comment is hilarious 😂😂
Don't get too upset. Think "Plot Armour". At the end of the third movie, may you find your strength and courage ;-)
Thank youuu 😭 I do get so immersed and sucked into movies and books, it makes for a better experience but damn it's draining 😂
wonderfully improved editing and incredible investment in the film
Thank youuu 🥰
Lord of the Rings is not three movies it is one giant movie split into three parts.
Love your genuine reaction
Thank you, I appreciate your comment 🥰
My favorite scene and my favorite line in LOTR : the last words of Boromir to Aragorn, a masterpiece. OST helped well too.
Same!
I really enjoyed your reaction! 🎉❤
Thank youuu 🥰
I have seen ,maybe too many times. You make me cry...and that is good🥰 thänks!
🥰🥰
I thought that your comments were very insightful!! You picked up on a lot of things that other reactors completely miss, particularly with regard to character development. I also appreciated your sensitivity. I enjoyed your reaction.
Thank youuu, I'm happy to hear this 🥰
Everything is fine. This is a reaction, there is no right or wrong. everyone has their own view and taste
Anyone who is a fan of the films loves Boromir and his story arc. He is even more fully fleshed out in the film than the book, and his redemption is deeply moving. He was a truly honorable man, even if he struggled some with his ego. He died defending Pippin and Merry, and I think seeing Boromir die feeling like he failed to protect them drove Aragorn even more to rescue their captive friends.
Honestly besides when we first met him, I didn't care about his ego, everyone has flaws and the way he was in his end and kept standing back up after every hit to protect them knowing he was dying shows who he truly is 😟
It's interesting how many reactors don't understand why Boromir stops Frodo from running to Gandalf when he's hanging from the bridge of Khazad Dum. Half of the bridge has just fallen into the chasm, and it's structural integrity is very much in question. Naturally it wouldn't be smart to let the ringbearer run out on to the bridge.
It does makes sense eventually, but not when you're watching the scene and being emotional instead of logical lol
@@viyctoriyareacts Very true! :))
In the book, Gandalf simply made a translation error because he thought the door's writing was a puzzle instead of an open invitation. The elves of Hollin, the name of the land they are in, and the Dwarves of Moria were great friends so the door actually had 'say friend and enter' rather than 'speak friend and enter' written on it. Tolkien was also using a fact of translation issues when one language can have a word that covers multiple concepts in another language. Frodo figures that out in the book, speak/say friend.
Galadriel has a long backstory in Tolkien's work. She is one of the oldest elves in Middle Earth. Essentially, her uncle rebelled against the powers ruling Valinor, the land of the Valar the stewards of the world so he could fight Morgoth, the first dark lord. He is who Saruman referred to about creating the orcs as well as dragons and balrogs like the demon in Moria. Galadriel joined her uncle in the rebellion because she wanted to rule her own realm in Middle Earth instead of living under the rule of the Valar. Her refusing the Ring is passing the test of giving up her rebellion against the Valar.
Gandalf figured it out himself in the book, not Frodo. Gimli assisted Gandalf for a time with what dwarvish he'd offer as possible opening words.
@@rikk319 And he credits Merry for asking about the translation Gandalf gave.
Wow, so many deeeetails, it makes me wonder how many pages does the book have, omg
@@viyctoriyareacts The Lord of the Rings is a little over a thousand pages. Tolkien also published The Hobbit which is much shorter. It is Bilbo's story and is a children's book in tone unlike LotR. There are a lot of other books put out by Tolkien's son Christopher. The backstory of Galadriel is largely in those books, the Silmarillion is a history of the creation of Middle Earth according to the elves. In terms of canon if you will it is arguable how much should be taken as valid to the background of The Lord of the Rings since JRR was an inveterate tinkerer with his writing so since he didn't get those works published before his death. Who knows how much he might have further changed them before he published them.
@@viyctoriyareacts My copy of the novel has 1,174 pages, but some of that is appendices, as the proper story ends on page 1,031.
Cant wait for the other 2 movies, you will like them 😊 love your reactions, iam glad i found your channel ❤
Thank youu, I'm happy to have you here 🥰 First part of the second movie will be up Friday or Saturday if CZcams doesn't give me a hard time 😉
@@viyctoriyareacts Thank you 😉 Lets hope youtube will behave then 🤞🤭
You, talking about Frodo at the end: "I think about his life, he had the perfect life at the beginning, and now he literally has the worst life possible..."
Tolkien: "That sounds like a challenge."
Omg 😂
Ata 25:30 you say, "Their weapons look so fancy and cool." It's interesting to compare the weapons in LOTR with the equivalent weapons in the Harry Potter movies, which look cheesy by comparison. The producers had a real forge with armorers making museum-quality weapons for the movie. In the scenes where we see the Orcs building Saruman's army, they put the armorers into Orc costumes for the perfect effect. There were two guys who spent the entire time putting plastic chain mail together, each ring fitting into four other rings. In the process, they wore off their fingerprints!
Omg, this is real commitment damn 😮 The weapons must've been heavy to carry tho
You've shown great involvement in the story. That's what we Tolkien nerds look for in LOTR reactions. I strongly suggest you watch the other two movies soon to keep the momentum going.
Thank you 🥰 The second movie will be posted tomorrow!
Next The Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition Of The Two Tower Extended Edition
Wow that was a great Reaction!
Thank youuu 🥰
They don't really explain it, but the distance they have to travel to get to Mordor and Mt Doom is like 1300 miles, mostly by foot travel.
not in the movies but i think in the books they talk about it im not sure if they say straight up how many miles or if its tolkeinsplained (said in a weird yet relatable metaphor)
Gandalf does briefly mention that they have to head east for 40 days before turning. But it is said right as they are leaving Rivendell and it does get buried under all those visuals.
Great reaction! I would love to see you watch the other two films in the series. Each one is better than the one before it!
Watching the next one tonight, wish me luck 😉
military veteranwriter,cholar,erudit and a devoted man.Tolkien was an awesome man.miss,you should read the novels,they are better than the movies.
Greting from Poland
Tolkien has been the greatest fantasy writer and one of the greatest in history for well over half a century, and nothing will change that, whose work has had a huge impact on the work of other writers, creators of films, games, etc.
George Lucas wouldn't have made Star Wars (and certainly not this version) if it weren't for Tolkien.
J.K. Rowling wouldn't have written Harry Potter if she hadn't read Tolkien first. It's obvious who she had in mind when creating the character of Dumbledore and the Dementors.
George R.R. Martin wouldn't have written Game of Thrones without having first read Tolkien. In one of his interviews, he once told how he came up with the idea of killing the characters of his books. When he read The Lord of the Rings for the first time and came to the scene where Gandalf dies with the Balrog by falling off a bridge Khazad Dum was in total shock because he didn't think Tolkien would dare to kill such an important character. Later, when writing Game of Thrones, he said that since Tolkien had no qualms about killing off characters, he wouldn't have any problems either.
One of Tolkien's greatest advantages as a writer, apart from creating the most "real" fantasy world in the history of literature, is writing in such a way as to leave as much room for the reader's imagination as possible. That's why adapting the book to the screen was so difficult, because the filmmakers had to meet the imagination of millions of readers in order to accurately represent this world. But Peter Jackson did the impossible. He made a faithful adaptation, which is considered a model. The three parts of the trilogy won a total of 17 Oscars and many other awards. But it doesn't change the fact that the book is better.
But The Lord of the Rings, although an iconic book, is not Tolkien's best book. In my opinion (but I suspect that also of many other fans of the Professor's work) it is The Silmarillion. Tolkien divided the history of his imaginary world into three eras. The action of The Lord of the Rings takes place in the third era. The Silmarillion describes the first two eras, starting from the creation of the world (Arda, of which Middle-earth is a part). Silmarillion is not only the best fantasy book, but the greatest story ever created by man.
PS.If you're crying now, prepare a lot of tissues for the last part of the movie, The Return of the King, because you'll be crying all the time during the last hour of the movie.
Loved reading your comment, it made me wanna buy the books, including The Silmarillion! I'm scared for the last movie, a lot of people have been telling me to prepare tissue omg 😭
@@viyctoriyareacts I'm glad you're thinking about reading books. Tolkien is a grandmaster of imagination and words. It is best to read the books in the order: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion.
The Hobbit tells the story of Bilbo's journey with Gandalf and a group of 13 dwarves, during which Bilbo finds the Ring of Sauron. I hope that after watching The Lord of the Rings, you will also watch the three parts of The Hobbit.
I warn you that The Silmarillion is a difficult book to read. But precisely because it is so difficult, it is so wonderful, because the reader finds new levels of this world on his own. It can be considered as the cosmology of Eä. It can be considered in terms of philology, i.e. the languages invented by Tolkien and their evolution over the years. It can be read as the mythology of the unknown, ancient world, and Tolkien himself can be treated as a mythographer. This book does not have a unified, coherent whole. It is rather a chronicle of events. Heroes appear and disappear. The author devotes several pages to events lasting hundreds of years, and a whole long chapter to other events lasting, for example, weeks or months.
For example, when I read The Silmarillion for the first time, after reading several dozen pages, I was overwhelmed by the multitude of land names and characters' names. I couldn't read any further. I put the book on the shelf and decided that I had to grow up to read it. After a few years, I started reading again and nothing bothered me anymore. In the book, although there are plenty of characters, Tolkien managed to portray them wonderfully and create exciting and touching stories for them.
In his essay on Fairy Tales, Tolkien clearly wrote that if novels about imaginary worlds are to be enjoyed, they must feel 100% authentic and realistic, the reader must have the impression at all times that what he or she is reading could have happened somewhere.
This coherence of the world created is, in my opinion, one of the two main reasons why The Silmarillion is so brilliant. The second reason is the spare and even chronicle style of Tolkien's prose, which gives the reader a lot of scope for imagination.All these events contained in the book stimulate the reader's imagination and this is the greatest joy and reward that the reader receives after reading this book.
