#TheLordoftheRings #LotR #TheFellowshipoftheRing - Zábava
Such good movies. After reading the books decades ago I thought no one could capture the Trilogy. Peter Jackson did, even with all the adaptations and corruptions the movie world requires. Some book purists still rebel, but I loved all three movies.
Yes! I loved LOTR movies. I thought they were done well. The hobbit was developed I think for a younger audience, but I liked them overall at the end.
Peter Posada IV *second. They never made a third. (at least I hope not)
But we're talking about Peter Jackson not Percy Jackson.
The LOTR movies are my favorite movies of all time. I am a huge fantasy fan and they are just so good. But right behind them for me is the Hobbit movies. I still do not understand why people don't like them. Of course they have a different feel to them, but they are just so pure fantasy I still love them. And they have some truly awesome fantasy battles in it. It also has the best dragon put on screen.
I read the books after I saw the first movie. Love what Peter Jackson did with the movies. You can only fit so much material in a movie format. I hated the Hobbit movies though. They took them too far and changed a lot of the source material from a book that was a quarter the size of the fellowship of the ring. The Hobbit movies were just a cash grab by the studio I think sadly. Should have done the Silmarillion instead in my opinion.
You are correct sir...
"It's perfect"
Yes. It. Is.
Man that boromir scene always gets me
One of the best additions the films made that wasn't in the books.
It was a good death!
just another day in Sean Bean's character deaths.
Every damn time
My king......
You know it’s a good movie when it makes you see Boromir as an evil character try to take the ring, then scenes later you view him as a hero going out in an honorable blaze of glory. Such an amazing character and movie!
EVIL??Wow....misguided and arrogant,yes.Evil? That was harsh and immature,Boromir was much more than the sum of one desperate act. I feel you dont remotely understand the character.
+Mr. Al He called Boromir evil. I am not convinced disagreeing with him makes me a douche. But fine...I'll be more careful in the future.
@@christofferjenzen78 The scene makes him seem evil. And indeed he, too, has evil in him - as does Aragorn, Galadriel etc.. Even Gandalf is not absolutely safe of evil - He can't take the ring for himself for a long time.
Tolkien had the Christian worldview, that we all have evil, and thus can be tempted. Only with the help of the Creator, God - called Ery Ilúvatar here - we can win the evil. Also the evil within ourselves. And that's our most important challenge.
That's why many of the great, powerful figures on the good side are tested by the ring. And they don't want to take it, they know it would win them over eventually. Galadriel tells this most clearly. Even Gandalf don't want to touch it by his bare hand. In Bilbo's and Frodo's house he waits for a Hobbit to pick it from the ashes. And he is actually an angel, Wizard in his Middle Earth form.
So here we see the the power of the Hobbits, their purity. They are hard to be lured to the dark side. It's shown subtly by the testings of the obviously powerful figures. That power of the Hobbits is different than people normally think what power is. It's the power of innocence, of purity. Th evil can't grasp it. Grasp in both main meanings of the word. This is true in Bible also Gospel of John, Chapter 1.
Gollum is the only Hobbit taken to the evil side, and even he can resist Sauron (but not evil) - he's just gone selfish. He has lived for years, but still doesn't serve Sauron. Remains untrustful of the lot, the Ring Lord and his minions. He sees their evil too clearly, so he can't be lured to that - only to a withdrawn, selfish creature. Can't be lured to great evil things. And so the Ring wants to get rid of him.
@@timomastosalo Jesus christ,dude....hope that wasnt blasphemous concidering the biblical references. Well,first we have to acknowledge the difference between Tolkien and Jacksons vision, especially regarding Boromir. In the book he is hard to not respect and even harder to like.
His battle with Mordor has made him weary and cynical,thoroughly explained in the book,sadly in the movie,he basically gets one of dialog to make the viewer feel his plight,Beans acting and not the script still sells it. In the book,meeting Frodo in the woods is a calculated decision and he turns into a monstrous psychopath who thinks less of Gondors safety and More of the power and control the ring can bring him....here he wants to get away from his addiction to the ring and gathers wood(Elijahs Wood?),he is in the forest before Frodo and improvises his failed manipulation because movie Boromir is desperate,cant see the big picture and fears for his people. So there is an unfortunate storytelling paradox here.
The scene as a whole doesnt make him seem evil,although trying to take the ring is profoundly immoral but he is overrun with emotion and acts on impulse,in the book it feels very malicious,here almost pathetic. However,when he slips and falls two feet (Awesome remedy for temporary psychosis btw),he immediately repents and is filled with such shame he would be completely useless to the fellowship had he lived.
Jackson should have included his monologue about battling an army of orchs with only a few men to make this betrayal resonate more. Yes,one by one the ring will destroy them all does help to make Boromir come off as less corrupted,like you said,even Gandalf struggled since the ring sniffs out your fears and desires like a God damn truffle pig. Gotta say,genius of Jackson and necessary to turn a peripheral character in the book into one of the four major characters. And Tolkiens handling of his demise is regrettable in most ways. Here, Boromir actually saves Merry and pippin from getting chopped in half which in the end helps turn the tide of war.
Boromirs idiotic arrogance comes from desperation here (Yes,of course YOU can control the ring without being corrupted,youre that one single person in history who ever could do that!) Compared to a mix of patriotism and hunger for power in the book. So when analyzing,we must seperate the two and not get them mixed up....or something to that effect.
@@christofferjenzen78 You understand blasphemous a bit wrong - it's not directed to me. When directed towards God, it's harmful to the blasphemer. It's a bit like someone trying to outsmart time, going to sea bottom to take the last stand against sea currents or beat the sun in martial arts. You get the picture :)
I wasn't concentrating on Boromir in my comment. I agree he's more like pitiful than sinister in this film lapse. Just I didn't go in details what kind of evil rose from him, in the film and/or the book. Didn't stop to reflect too long that particular character in neither version.
It's so long I read the book, I don't remember Boromir very well from there. Just that he was tempted to take the ring. I don't remember how noble he fought in the book, but I think he fought the Orcs for awhile, so doing yet something good for the ring bearers. Or is even that wrong?
But, whether book or film, it shows theres's evil in him. Just I especially went on to the other characters to show, I don't think Boromir is an exception in this - more like the norm case. And that even characters we consider 'good' in the story, are shown to have fears, anger, selfishness - so Tolkien is showing that none are pure.
He did make Gandalf to resurrect - he is the closest character Tolkien dared to make to resemble Jesus. The whole world(s) he sets his story, stories into, is a way to remind the reader, this is still someone's fantasy. Though in certain way he saw his story as telling the history of England.
But having written a fairy tale anyway, he had liberty with the characters to have some qualities of God, Jesus - but not being completely like him, them.
This is beautiful, seeing people react to this for the first time, and they care so much about the characters.
"nobody tosses a dwarf!"
Two towers: "toss me!"
Gimli always did what had to be done.
Boromirs sacrifice is still the best death scene in film history imo.
I agree. Also love Viggo Mortenson's deflection of the dagger. Was done for real lol
Fuck Maximus and Avengers bullshit. Boromir is the greatest saddest death ever.
@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 keep dreaming, Lord of the rings fanboy
The correct answer is Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
@@lampad4549 I am a marvel fanboy but i cannot disagree with him after tony's death the 2nd best death was of boromir
10:08 was actually a mistake he through the real dagger at the actor and he dodged it just as you see it now on set lol bad ass
Viggo is just awesome. He embodied his character to heart 😍😍
i read it was supposed to be cg'd in but viggo asked for it to be a real knife.
*threw
Yeah this is true
I wouldnt call it a mistake. It is an accidental acting performance. :p
Fun fact, during the fight at the end, Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) actually had to block the knife that was thrown at him. Lurtz, the big orc was supposed to miss but due to his mask he accidentally threw it straight at Viggo. Just when you thought the guy couldn't get any cooler ;)
Oh someone already mentioned it! Apologies Ha! Shows how well respected the guy is
Why didn’t they just use a fake knife?
So this is Ultra Instinct
True Baller it was supposed to stick into the tree next to viggo
What’s the elvish word for friend?
“I donno but hurry up”
Bruh I’m crying 😂😂
Gandalf and the Balrog are both Maiar, which are basically angels of the Valar, which are basically Gods. The ‘wizards’ are the Maiar that are sent down to middle earth by the Valar to protect the people and maintain peace, but their power is limited and they can only use it when absolutely necessary. Balrog’s are Maiar that have been corrupted by Morgoth (a Valar who was the last dark lord, and master of Sauron), and thus are basically demons. So essentially Gandalf and the Balrog are the same species, it’s just that one has remained pure and is supported by the Valar, whilst the other has been corrupted to darkness. That’s why I loved that fight, because it’s basically two angels fighting, one supported by evil, the other supported by the Gods.
Thank god for your comment, so many people getting the lore wrong in the comments.
Erastus Mwandingi yeh ikr that’s why I commented it. What I said is quite simplified, but I wanted to give them a decent idea of what Wizards and Balrogs actually are in case they were wondering :)
I thought the Lord of the Rings universe only had one God Eru Iluvatar and the Valar were higher level angels while the Maiar were lower level angels.
SylenDraws I said the Valar are ‘basically Gods’, not that they actually are Gods. What I’m saying is that Compared to the Maiar they are portrayed as Gods, but you are right, they aren’t actually omnipotent. I was just trying to explain it as simply as possible, not getting caught up in the details
Macattack 1 Valar are gods like you would find in Nordic/Roman/Greek pantheons whilst Eru Illuvatar is a God like in Christianity/Islam etc.
I cherish these movies. My mom who passed away last year introduced me to Middle Earth. Watching your reactions made me remember the sweet times with my mom on her couch watching Lord of the Rings.
Its a bit the same for me becouse my mom died in April this year, but I was the one who introduced her - and the rest of my family - to the movies and books (mom was the only one who actualy read the whole LOTR and bits and pieces of the Silmarilion, recently she wanted to start the Hobbit but she died), and she watched the LOTR with me few times, once in the cinema and another two times on dvd. But she actualy never seen the whole of the 3d movie only bits and pieces of it when she was doing something in the kitchen :) And she never seen more than half of the first part of Hobbit trilogy. I think that the new trilogy bored her :) so when comes to the new trilogy she liked only to return to the scenes in Rivendell. She loved the hobbits, she loved Shire, and she liked Rivendell too, but dwarves were boring and her fav part was prologue in the Shire :) And she cared about the topic od post-war Frodo.
Actually, Galadriel the elf queen was testing Frodo and herself, seeing if she would be corrupted by the ring and seeing if Frodo would be willing to give it to her. the appearance Galadriel took was an illusion to show herself and Frodo what would happen if the One Ring was in her care and how it would change her.
1:57 scared the shoes off my feet when I was a kid!
Fischstix95 😂😂😂
Made me spill half of my popcorn
Funnily enough I was visiting my mother this weekend and was watching FOTR on cable. I asked if she minded if I pulled up Two Towers from the On Demand menu. We wound up watching that and ROTK in one shot. She had a little trouble keeping all the names straight (mostly the human characters) but really really enjoyed the films. And believe me, this stuff is not her type of thing. We watched the theatrical cuts which I haven’t seen in years. I wa surprised how swiftly they moved, particularly the build up to the Minas Tirith battle - though late at night with a first time viewer it was probably better watching the “short” versions. She really dug Sam the most and kept asking when Aragorn would finally show up with the Army of the Dead to save the day, so it was fun when that finally happened.
Just a little bit of trivia for you guys that I found really cool. In pretty much 99% of shots featuring the Fellowship going from point A to B, they're always going from the left side of the screen to the right. It was the directors decision to show them progressing and getting closer to their destination. I love little details like that.
Fun Fact: that scene at 10:08 was improvised. The actor playing the orc accidentally let the knife slipped out of his hand towards Viggo's head and because of his training he really hit the knife coming towards him in mid-air.
BlueSkullX holy shit
Not true - no credible sources have confirmed that it was "accidental" or "improvised," while multiple have confirmed that it was intentional. The actual story seems to be that they did multiple takes, almost all of which involved the actor throwing the dagger at the tree behind where Viggo would be standing, while Viggo himself stood a ways away. After a few takes, Viggo felt comfortable with the accuracy of Lurtz' actor's throws, so he stood "in the line of fire" trusting that he wouldn't be in danger if he was hit, and managed to parry the dagger on the first take, which was the one used in the movie.
It's a cool story either way.
@@BaronVonHoovy
Just because something hasn't been confirmed or denied doesn't make it less true. One thing to note about cinema is that plenty of improvised and off-the-script scenes came to be after 1 take and the directors liked them so much that either he kept the original take or kept the concept and decided to re-shoot the scene. They'll still be improvised concepts and off-the-script, in all technicality.
I'm not confirming or denying what you're saying, mind you. You're correct in saying that either story is cool.
@@BaronVonHoovy If you have the DVD or Bluray version of the fellowship of the ring, It is said by the crewmembers themselves in the making-of. This is how I discovered it.
@@peletsoivre9110 Peter Jackson himself says in that that it was planned.
Lord of the Rings is my all time favorite books/movie. I can’t wait to watch your reaction for The Two Towers and Return of the King. 🤗
In the books it’s stated that orcs were once elves that went on the journey to valinor and on their journey there the first dark lord, Morgoth, captured some of them and corrupted them. He mutilated and tortured them so much that they eventually became orcs as a sort of mockery of the creator gods children who were elves and men.
Though it is worth mentioning that Tolkien only offers that up as a possibility. He never definitely gives an answer, it's just what the elves believe they are, but they don't know.
Andreas Widham Thank you! I was wondering if it was concrete answer.
It is concrete in the movies.
Erastus Mwandingi It is? I don't remember them even addressing it in the movies.
Andreas Widham
Saruman explains it briefly.
I love this. It's like the "Kids/Elders React" videos. Genuine reaction to these movies still give me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for sharing!
That’s actually a really good interpretation of Galadriel. She was supposed to return to the Undying Lands at the ending of the first age, and when she didn’t, she was barred from re-entering until she proved herself.
The saddest thing about Boromir is that he wasn't just a good man, he was a great man.
I've seen this films a thousand times I still almost cry everytime when Gandalf falls and Frodo screams "NOOOOO!"
Ours is the ONLY timeline with a living Sean Bean. He is dead in literally every other parallel universe.
well he didn't die in The Martian either lol
If he starts filming a documentary about himself, and then keep postponing the filming date for the final episode, he'll live forever.
"We travel light, Let's hunt some Orc" - Aragorn is such a fucking badass.
"I would have followed you my brother, my captain......my king."
Gimli fell in love with Galadriel's beauty. In the books when the elves were handling out gifts, Gimli asked just a strand of hair from Galadriel. They tried to film it, but it was in a deleted scene.
They are watching the Expanded Edition
If anyone was curious, at 10:07 that's a real sword thrown at Viggo that he knocked away.
Don't forget that the actor who plays Sam stepped on a stick in the water that went through his foot.
Chris M it was glass! Ouchy
True. If you notice, the dagger actually shatters, which wouldn't happen with a real blade. Still badass af.
Well, a real fake sword anyway. They were intending to throw it past him but accidentally threw it too close and he reflexively swung at it.
I remember some of the interviews, where i think Viggo Mortensen said that there were still copies of the books left on the set, during the final days of filming. That's how absorbed everyone became, and determined to respect Tolkien's vision for the world he had created.
The first orcs were elves being corrupted from long ago. Since then, the orcs multiplied and became a staple of Sauron's armies. The bigger dudes that Saruman popped out of the ground are the uruk-hai, a stronger species of orc.
Aren't they like a mix between elves and goblins or something like that?
Mandorle21 orcs snd goblins
The uruk-hai in the movies are a hybrid of men and orc
+Mandorle21 In the books, the goblins and orcs are the exact same species. Just different names sometimes used to denote different ethnic backgrounds of orcs. Sort like how the Chinese and Europeans are both humans, but have different backgrounds.
That's what I remember anyways.
Literally the greatest trilogy ever made. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making these epic movies.
Lady Galadriel was in middle earth since before the first age, and when she says that she will perish and remain Galadriel she means that she is allowed back in valinor with the rest of the elves. She was one of the elves that doubted the valar in the first kinslaying and was not allowed back in valinor because of that. She basically passed the test to return to heaven. Correct me if I am wrong about that.
I think it was 'diminish', not 'perish'. She chose humility, purity, and received a much greater reward in exchange :)
That Bilbo jumpscare is legendary. I remember being scared to almost death by it when I first watched it in the early 2000s. Came outta no where.
You ladies are entertaining. Just found you. I'm a Tolkien fan and I've read the entire lore, the whole 6000 years of it. You probably know this by now, but Galadriel is not a witch. It's just Gimli that refers to her as an "Elf-Witch" because during those decades, Elves and Dwarves didn't get along. Centuries ago, when Elves needed help when the first dark lord Morgoth invaded them, the Dwarves stayed in hiding. And as you have seen in The Hobbit, when Dwarves needed to defend their mountains from the dragon, Elves decided to walk away. That's why Gimli says, "I would die before I see the ring in the hands of an Elf. Never trust an Elf". He called Galadriel an Elf-Witch and drew a bad image in your minds even before you met her.
-balrog appears- "oh, my goodness gracious" indeed
My favorite part in this movie is when the uruk with the bow is walking towards Boromir right before he shoots him for the first time and the music stops. The first time I saw that I was like oh SHIT. The whole last hour of the movie is my favorite
One interesting thing about Lord of the Rings - when Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings, it was during a period in Britain when the industrial revolution was really having a strong effect on the English countryside. Many scholars postulate that industrialization's ravaging of the English countryside was one of the underlying themes of Lord of the Rings.
Operative 21 not wholly related but there’s a Russian “parody” of the books which takes on the view that history is only written by the victors where Mordor were actually a technologically advanced nation which was on the cusp of industrial revolution and the elves and wizards manipulated men into going against Mordor in order to stop them from becoming too powerful. It’s a really interesting concept, I believe it’s called “The last ringbearer”
OK I'm waiting on the next one of these ones by the minute. Hands down congrats to your amazing setup and editing. Thanks to the family for being a stand in movie watching group for the classics :D
1:58 This scene is where I always just cling onto my best friend and just jumpscare her. It never gets old because I know how much she loves LOTR. And I never regret getting punched by her either everytime we watch the trilogy. XD
Galadriel (elf queen) is Arwen's (Aragor's sweetheart) grandmother.
I'm waiting for The Dark Knight trilogy!
Damn Sean Bean died again
zaandarbrow literally have to expect that every time 😂
It's what he does.
That's when you know it's a good movie
Still have to fight back the tears when i see the ending of this movie, especially boromirs last stand.
One of the things I noticed just the last time - during watching some parts of the movie - was that those 2 birds flying over the head of one of the statues of Argonath - the right one - those birds actualy have their nest in the left eye of this statue :D This thing I ve just noticed a couple of weeks ago when I watched some music video or multifandom mix or smt :) I swear I never seen this before even though I've seen the FOTR like 15 times :D
I don't think people realize just how difficult it is for directors to take on the task of bringing such a beloved classic novel to the big screen while maintaining the spirit of the books. but Peter Jackson?
That guy fucking nailed it.
lol all those knowing glances and smirks at the camera. XD And yes, the movies are so beautiful, they still hold up so well even after so many years. This has made me go back and rewatch the movies with cast commentary. I'm glad you are all having fun with these movies. :D
Fun facts: Elijah Wood (Frodo) was 18 during this movie, and Orlando Bloom was a fresh graduate when he was cast in this movie.
It was filmed in New Zealand! So the nature you see is there. Obviously the sets were designed, but that's where the beautiful scenery is.
I always get a big kick out of your reactions, ladies! I'm so delighted to see you having fun with this series of films!
Watching this with you guys is just killing me. I've seen these movies so many times, but I'm crying like it's the first time I've ever seen them.
Legolas is a largely silent character in the novels. He does speak but most of his content is action oriented.
They made him more action oriented in the movies. In the books he hardly does anything.
To be fair its been like 20 years since I read the books, so ya.....
Not only that but he has no arc or personality,has one facialexpression and never makes a mistake. Oooh,so intriguing....
The further you delve into the movie industry, the more times you see Sean Bean die.
What happened to part 1?
man, someone's always cutting onions when i watch the ending of those films xD
The greatest films of all time.
The movies were filmed in new zealand. And used a lot of New Zealand scenery in those movies.
@Storm Akima i saw the 1st Lord of the Rings movie years ago, thank you for nostalgia, during the scene with frodo and witch, yes it was a test but she wanted to show him what would happen if she took the ring from him, like gandalf did with bilbo at the beginning of the movie if you remember.
Uuuuuuuuuuugh, I love these movies so much.
Just found you three today and I Love You All!! And this Opening had me cracking up! Happy Watching!
the death of Boromir gets me every time
Hurray, more LotR! Really enjoying this. :D
This is the best movie trilogy of all time: change my mind haha
1:54 truly was a great piece of cinema.
You guys are the best and so genuine and nice, I wish my family was so open about watching movies. Really enjoy your reactions, and LOTR is trult great, a classic!
as a MASSIVE lotr fan - this brings me so much joy - you ladies are as EPIC as the trilogy itself :)
lmfao old girl in the middle passing out while boromir has his last stand hahahaha xD then wakeing up acting all surprised so the others dont notice LMFAO
Awesome reaction. I’ve watched these movies so many times and it never gets old. They came out so long ago, there were no reaction videos back then. So great to see a fresh reaction, and y’all are so cute. Keep it going! And spend some time this summer reading the books, but clear your mind and take them as a new story. Tolkien writes in a completely different way than the movie tells the story. Both mediums are great and special in their own way.
Where is Lord of the Rings part ONE? I can't find it anywhere on the channel and it doesn't come up when I search for it, has it been deleted?
What is beautiful is that Borimir was not weak at all. The ring corrupts all. He realized his error in the end, and gave his life as attonement.
There's still so much jumping, squealing and "nerve racking" left, I think they'll need some relaxing tea.
Fun fact the dead dwarve that was holding the book was one of the hobbits in hobbit movie was ori who went to moria with balin, who was in okenshield company. After ori and oin place balin in grave stone the dwarves face army attacking moria. You dident see dwarves helping men cause they already baddling a army where they was
I loved this reaction, I’m glad they like LotR. It’s such a great series!
The Silmarillion talks about Orcs being corrupted Elves. The original Dark Lord, Morgoth, captured them and turned them into Orcs. Tolkien wasn't exactly happy with that origin story, but he never got around to changing it.
These movies were made in my country.
Lenny Lynch
Ireland?
Australia right? :/
New Zealand is a beautiful place!
I love Ireland
Iceland aswell
Orcs really originate from elves... Sauron's boss back in Silmarillion was Morgoth who was one of the early creatures spririts/gods who twisted the elfs into his use, this was before there was light and far before there was the race of men. There is so much lore, so fleteched out.. I start talking about one and keep distracted and wanting to tell so much more :D
You're not wrong about Galadriel and testing herself to the temptation of the ring when Frodo offers it to her freely. After she calms down and, in doing so, rejects the ring, not reaching out for it, she says that she has passed the test, and that she is ready to leave to the Grey Havens with the other elves since she was able to resist. She knows the burden that Frodo has to carry too, and that he has to carry it pretty much alone. It's heavy, but it's the choice he has to make.
Dawn you're a fast worker!! Yesterday patreon and *now* already edited on CZcams? Gotta give you props for your dedication!!
Gandalf falling gets me every single time, no matter where I am
Somebody does not like tentacle monsters xD looked like she was on a roller coaster during the Watcher scene, loved it
I just realized i like watching reaction vids on specific films and saw urs and was like thats interesting dynamic to watch with and saw ur vids every now and then and was just like wait WTH why am i not subscribed? So yeah sorry for the late arrival!
The movie was largely filmed and produced in New Zealand. I have a friend from college who traveled to NZ and visited the Shire (which is now something of a tourist spot). Several of the other filming locations and sets have been left standing for purpose of tourism.
these movies were filmed in New Zealand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL I hope your mom is ok after all those jumpscares
Only scene in cinema that makes me cry or close to tears is when Boromir dies and has his last exchange with Aragorn.
This is just wonderful. Seeing people enjoy such movies gives me hope
Gandalf's fall still brings me to tears.
Personally I think Galadriel was truly tempted, it was not just her testing herself, it was fate, the world, whatever you want to call it, testing her.
I think a part of her was laid bare in that moment, to us but also to herself, she saw what she could be, would be, and then, reeled back from it, not falling for temptation.
I’m so glad you put the goblin at 4;56 in! Haha
Thank you for sharing your reactions. 🙂 It is so much fun to be able to enjoy the movie with you all.( I cannot find 101 Part One of The Fellowship tho. )
By far these are my favorite reaction in your channel...and I always love how your sister reacting by kicking and slightly jumping...lol :)
Orcs are originally elves who were tortured and and corrupted by the first Dark Lord, named Melkor, who actually Sauron's master. And Galadirel isn't actually a witch ... lol... she is a one of the high elf, you could say she is one of the nobility among her race, oldest and wisest. She was one of the elf who actually spent her early days in paradise among their gods.
looking forward for the reaction of The Two Towers and The Return of The King :)
Did you know that Lawrence Makoare, the actor for Lurtz, accidentally threw Aragorn’s Elven dagger at him instead of missing him due to vision impairment and the Uruk make-up. Viggo Mortensen was able to deflect it. Makoare’s impaired vision also made it impossible for him to pull his punches, so both he and Mortensen threw actual punches to make the fight more realistic.
It's funny to think that the guy who plays Gimli the dwarf (John Rhys-Davies) is actually one of the tallest actors in the cast at 6" 1" tall! 😁
Where is part 1? I was searching for it on CZcams. Did you ladies take it down?
Gandalf and the balrog is both of the same race
I saw a sign on someone's property that read, "YOU SHALL NOT....TRESPASS!"
Honestly, I think some of my favorite characters are Merry and Pippin because of the jurney they go on. They start as mainly comic releaf, but, after everything they have to go through, they end up as heroes in their own right
Fun fact. At 10:08. ViggonMortensen the actor who plays Aragorn actually deflected that blade that was thrown at him. The actor who was playing the Uruk Hai accidentally let the prop knife slip through his hands.
I don’t recall if it was a real knife or not but still badass either way.
6:30 your mom is FANTASTICALLY empathic
Love this story !! This movie has held up so well ~ even with all of the new sci-fi and fantasy stories out there, I'm still so impressed by what the actors and production team created with these.
Also, I totally had an email address fangirling over Will Turner for a few years after Pirates. Lol. I was 13, it was perfect. Lol. I'm in a safe place to confess my geek-dom. Right? ;D
