At 38:30 you're not the only reactor who doesn't understand why nobody tried to save Gandalf. In the book, Aragorn and Boromir race back to stand beside Gandalf in his fight with the Balrog, but 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 in just as the two men reached safety.
Okay I can forgive them now!
Not to mention the orcs with bows on the other side. Aragorn slips a headshot on his way out.
The reason Boromir gets up that third time is because he looks into the eyes of the frightened and helpless hobbits in front of him, and gets that final burst of protective, self-sacrificial energy.
Dad energy. I would know
Great reaction I see you are getting to know the Characters. I can tell it is an honest reacation can't wait to see you enjoy the next 2 . Hopefully the extended version. Good luck on your new channel watching from Canada
Their feet were not CGI - they were prosthetics. And apparently extremely difficult to walk around in, let alone run.
This movie is a masterpiece of practical effects. The ways they make the hobbits look tiny, even though they're normal-sized actors (like, literally, we almost instantly buy into their smallness, forgetting that it's just movie magic). The impressively-detailed miniatures, like those two statues along the river (Elendil and Isildur), with their hands out. And of course, the use of the landscapes of New Zealand, rather than massive green screens on a sound stage.
All of it combines to make the movie feel real. And the two sequels are just as amazing (actually, MORE amazing) in this regard. It cost them a lot of money ($280 million USD, equivalent to nearly $500 million today) and took a long time (8 YEARS from start to finish) to make these films (though they saved money by shooting them all at the same time, rather than sequentially, a risk that paid off big time), but we are left with a shining monument to what filmmaking can be, that will last forever. And besides, they were some of the most successful movies of all time, tying a record for Academy Award wins (the 11 Oscars won by _Return of the King_ ties with _Ben-Hur_ and _Titanic_ for the most ever; 6 more were won by the first 2 films, and raking in $3 billion USD worldwide. I wish studios still took risks like that, to give us amazing art to last a lifetime, but at least we have _The Lord of the Rings._
Actually, in quite a few scenes, "little people" were used to establish size relationships. Very short actors were hired for those particular scenes; you'll note that when all 3 sizes of people are in one scene, the shortest folks have their faces averted, blocked, or digitally "distorted."
@@artbagley1406that and they all became good friends. Little people included. And mostly forced perspective camera work!
At 33:22 you ask, "How long y'all think these people have been dead?" In the book, Tolkien gives a detailed chronology in an Appendix following ROTK. Balin's attempt to recolonize Moria was destroyed by the Balrog and the other evil creatures about 25 years before our story.
Your enthusiasm, or rather lack thereof, is not an auspicious beginning, lol. Let’s see how it goes! 😄
As I expected, it didn’t take long to catch your interest. You seemed pretty invested by Weathertop, lol. Glad you enjoyed it!
There is actually very little CGI in this movie. The feet are basically makeup. Like rubber/latex moulds they wore like shoes.
At 28:36 you say, "At some point you got to put shoes on..." Tolkien writes, "...they seldom wore shoes, since their feet had tough leathery soles and were clad in a thick curling hair, much like the hair of their heads, which was commonly brown." In the book the only member of the Company who complains about cold feet is Gandalf!
But they look so cold with their rosy cheeks!! 😰
Great reaction! One thing to remember is that if something in The Lord Of The Rings reminds you of something else, TLOTR (and The Hobbit) did it first. It's almost impossible to overstate just how much of an influence this story has had on modern storytelling. It basically invented the fantasy genre and all the tropes that the genre features.
At 31:50 you say, "Four days?" Moria is a big place. In the book, Gandalf tells the Company, "It cannot be less than forty miles from West-door to East-gate in a direct line, and the road may wind much."
BTW If you decide to watch the Hobbit, the intro scenes of The Dwarven realm give you some idea of the splendor of their cities when they were up and running!
That's what those films did right. All thanks to Peter Jackson and crew! Saving the studio after Deltoro ran it into the ground then running away to do another film, leaving the studio hanging, so they called Peter and then the crew got back together. ❤😊@@nemesis4852
Many channels actually end up loving the extended editions (not random added fluff for the most part. Just stuff from the books despite even that was a bit different but it still gives way more worldbuilding and context for everything going forward that won’t make sense without the extended edition.). Even with the extra hour people still don’t notice how long it’s been and still ask “is that it?” At the end.
Many channels don’t realize there was a true extended edition and when they realize early enough and hop on that train early they end up with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of what they’re watching. Especially for first time viewers. This is key!
It seems to me that the word is getting around. The last few reactions I've watched seem to have started out with the XE right from the beginning. Or maybe that's just statistical chance.
Oh yes, especially shortly after the movies, Aragorn was a beloved character (some people on forums had him as their profile picture)... after a few watchings I realized I liked LOTR, as well as indeed Aragorn :)
Extended scenes at risk of being missed: 1• Frodo/Sam's first meeting with the elves, providing context for Valinor and the elves journey there, as referenced throughout the films and seen at the end of the Return of the King(connects to the passing of the elves in the beginning of their leaving the shire when Frodo and Sam are near the Old Forest by the Shire which leads them to eventually bumping into Merry And Pippin!
(An epic scene with Gandalf in Rivendell was also removed as well.)
2. Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien, providing a parallel between the events of the Beren and Luthien and Aragorn's relationship with Arwen of which every reactor channel I’ve seen makes the connection and it pulls them into a deeper understanding of their relationship every single time.
3. Aragorn kneeling at his mother's grave, giving him some additional backstory for the viewer.
4. Gandalf explaining to Frodo about the corruptive power of the Ring, and how it will strain the Fellowship from the inside, foreshadowing Boromir's downfall.
5. Sam singing a lament for Gandalf, providing more emotional weight to Gandalf's death, referencing the start of the movie and strengthening the connection between him and the Hobbits ( also highlights Tolkien's love of song and poetry in the books).
6. Galadriel giving the gifts to the Fellowship, providing context for their appearance in later films, as well as drawing a parallel between Gimli's gift and the events of the Silmarillion (Fëanor & Galadriel).
That’s just the beginning. Including several removed scenes between Aragorn & Galadriel and Aragorn with her husband Celeborn!
7• also the opening explaining Hobbits & their culture to the viewers, so they have a better understanding of these peoples we will be following which also was the direct full chapter called Concerning Hobbits.
At 8:08 you say, "Imagine needing a vacation from the Shire!" Exactly! Why would Bilbo want to leave the Shire? Because the Ring was gradually starting to affect him. It is making him antsy, "like butter stretched over too much bread."
Yeah, he needed a vacation from the Ring. He just wasn't capable of expressing such a thought at the time.
It took "only" 50 years or so for The One Ring to start to negatively affect Bilbo.

At 45:20 Frodo's feet look long because he is wearing prosthetic feet that stick out beyond his toes. They are covered with individually-applied hairs. The problem is that the feet actually aren't hairy enough! Actually I think Peter Jackson & Co. could have achieved a more realistic effect using properly-designed slippers worn over the feet.
When Frodo met Bilbo again in Rivendell, he was not 111 years old. In the book, 17 years pass between Bilbo's party and Frodo leaving the Shire. Bilbo was 128 by then.
And Frodo was 50, when he left the Shire.
@@Henngist yup. Pippin is the youngest at 28. Gandalf and Legolas are 2-3000 years old.
@@davefranklyn7730 I’ll explain Gandalf’s age in the second movie for her but for you I’ll share it here with context to give more weight to his actual age. - Gandalf (Olórin) is the same species of being as the Balrogs/Sauron before twisted by Melkor[Morgoth]. They are all Maiar (primordial spirits) created by Eru’s Thought (extensions of Eru Îlluvatar himself whilst they had their own free will & individuality.
He essentially got the chance to experience and study other parts of himself through this.) among the other Ainur before the Years of the Lamps roughly 9,000+ years before arriving in Middle-earth; In Valinor he was known as Olórin.(Remember though he formally existed before the world existed and his form becoming Gandalf hadn’t happened yet. He was sent to Middle-earth in human form around the year 1000 of the Third Age.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So his many forms had different ages in length of existing. He’s very cool right! Could he get any cooler!? 😎❤️ Another thing is when he arrived in middle earth he was disguised as an elf & lived among them whilst they were unknowing & he became to be known as Mithrandir to the Quendi/Eldar❤️ He could have very well dwelled with the elves far earlier just do to his curiosity & simple desire to explore and be around the firstborn (TheElves)
Gandalf The Grey/White
Estimated at 15,000 years old (following his quote "300 lives of men, I have walked this earth"), It says that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar besides Melian herself. There were a lot of Maiar that were considered really great and powerful. 300 lives of men, according to Tolkien, the average life span of a man is 70 years. So, 300 x 70 is 21000 years.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
However, there is a much longer answer. Like Sauron(former name is Mairon) & the other Istari (the order sent around the same time & of which he was appointed leader but he being who he is & a student of the Vala by the name Nienna & Lorien(Irmo).
Gandalf was one of the Maiar, an angelic spirit created by Eru at the beginning of time and therefor one of the many Ainur who sang the world into being & Eru just helped their creation take shape and basically stated “behold YOUR creation” & basically what happens in that world goes sort of preordained as by that song eons ago so really only the ages after Dagor Dagorath will truly be an age that isn’t full of strife; sadness; and longing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also. These lamps are what were before even the two trees. These were Giant mountains but also like light houses but housing a great power but it may have also been where two special Maia lived that helped in the creation in the sun and moon after Melkor With eldrich terror Ungoliant killed the trees, so yea “Arien” is the Maia who basically exists with the sun and her brother and or lover of sorts is the one who wanders with and guides the moon. Of which that other Maia was “Tillion”
Galadriel herself not only witnessed this but as a student of Aulë and the other Valar she obviously had involvement in helping create the hallowed objects that housed the final flower of the silver tree Telperion that was the father of the moon and the mother of the sun was Laurëlin the golden tree and prior to the sun and moon they too used to wax and wane!
Gandalf was given the ring of fire (Narya) by one of the oldest remaining elves from the first clans to wake beneath the stars before the sun and moon ever existed; at the Cuiviènen river named Círdan.
Its best attribute was it raises the spirits of those who wear it. Bolstering internal strength and so forth. He knew it would aid Gandalf in his quest from the Valar and Eru Îlluvatar (the one AllFather) themselves to bolster the spirits of the free peoples of middle earth and to sow seeds of hope within the hearts of Men, Elves and Dwarves alike.

The sword Gandalf wielded caused the Balrog’s primordial sword to burst into a rain of molten lava in an almost majestic way. It too belong to high elven king Turgon of the great hidden realm of Gondolin, surrounded by tallest mountains. Named Glamdring; meaning “Foe Hammer”. Gandalf broke the balrog’s unholy weapon. Epic right?
His original staff broke when he let some of his true powers show to grant a miracle from his own life force. This is the same thing for how the elves do “magic” Galadriel herself tells Frodo and Sam that things elves do may seem like magic but they don’t really use such a word since they are one with the world, symbiotic with it if the world perished so would they.
Book fact that’ll make you even more proud of Boromir. It was 13 arrows in his back and like 9 in the front. And these are heavy duty arrows built to rip right into you and cause the most pain and damage to your limbs as possible to make you become immobile so said orc could kill you slowly and cause as much agony as possible.
I thought that the books just said "Many" arrows, and Jackson only did three so as to not make it too "crowded"??
About the world and The current ages of the characters: Frodo Baggins is 53. Samwise Gamgee is 38. Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) is 36. Peregrin Took (Pippin) is 28. Gandalf (Olòrin) - is 15,000 (in his current form. Aragorn is (won’t say, you’ll find out). Legolas is 2,931. Gimli is 139. Boromir son of Denethor II is 41!
Elves aged differently than men and dwarves. They did not suffer from old age or disease, and their lives were not limited by a fixed number of years. Instead, they aged very slowly, remaining youthful and vigorous for much longer than mortals. Though they could voluntarily leave their bodies and the ultimate thing that can kill them is grief or Sorrow that’s palpable enough for them to just not wish to live anymore.
Here are the ages of some of the main Elves of the Third Age, as of the War of the Ring:
1. Elrond Half-elven - over 8,586 while his daughter is 3,777 old!
2. Galadriel - around 20,000(180.000 in solar human years [1 elf year is one lifetime of man] but time is counted, felt & experienced very differently before the birth of the sun and moon. ❤)
3. Celeborn - 20,000; (he may have been alive before her birth or around the same time as his lineage that he lived amongst his forefathers and kin might suggest he is older but they are both very ancient.)
4. Glorfindel (replaced scenes with Arwen in the movies but it helped prop up Aragorn’s Film character progression. I still think they could have incorporated them both in the scenes somehow and included the other important stuff that went on in that forest meeting Glorfindel and his company of elves)- he’s over 2,000 (although he had been re-embodied after dying in the First Age which means his Fëa {spirit} is far older than 2000.)
5. Thranduil - over 8000, (as he was born in the First Age and lived in Doriath with his father Oropher; Thranduil is also the father of Legolas. (As Haldir mentioned him when speaking to Legolas in Lothlòrien during the first movie’s extended scene. He shares the same kindred elven clan as to Celeborn(Galadriel’s husband).
It's worth noting that Elves could choose to die voluntarily, usually when they grew weary of life or when they had fulfilled their purpose in the world. However, their spirits would then depart to the Halls of Mandos and could eventually be re-embodied in a new
body
I meant to add that Frodo was 51 when he left due to the whole Gandalf coming back to the shire after many years. that explains why his youthful appearance didn’t change much throughout the entire film!
❤ In fact 95 percent was not CGI. You’ll be blown away by the fun BTS passion project documentary made by the cast and crew showing how it’s all made among many other awesome stuff. react after the third movie. Make sure subtitles are turned on. If the subtitles say “speaks elvish” without translation etc then it’s the wrong one
Thanks for the heart stickers. I’m more curious about your response to then and and questions you have are delays welcome as we all love discussions. ❤
As your video description says about thos movie being special to you then we all recommend reaction to extended edition version of this movie. It's an extra 1.5 hours long! ❤
Tolkien’s scholarly fans love conversation. Even the big Tolkien lore channels are still making new and awesome content to this day. We are always interacting with one another. Even the channels collaborate often. Even play lord of the rings online or stream the new game called Reclaiming Moria I think. It’s actually pretty elaborate with a lot to do. Even rebuilding and redesigning things by hand and coming across tons of awesome lore stuff. The worldbuilding within all the LOTR video games is awesome. Shadow of war and shadow of Mordor are one of the biggest but they are not super canon though lol. 😅😂❤
Firstly: All 16 rings were meant to go to the elves ( which lead to 300-500years of his infiltration & deception down the drain.) but Mairon of the Maiar(primordial angelic beings in simple terms as they are sort of beyond angels) disguised as a high elf named Annatar when he came to the elves pretending to be an emissary from Valinor on behalf of the Valar so it makes sense how alluring the ring is and how strong it’s pull on people is. (A bit too instant in the movies though) Galadriel soon saw right through him and especially when after speaking with him regarding not remembering him when in Valinor long ago where she learned from all the Valar thanks to being dominantly Vanyar/Teleri side over her Noldorin side where she gleaned from that encounter that she did not study under Aulë the Vala with any elf named Annatar !
But later named Sauron by the elves meaning deceiver! After all of this, The three elven rings were made in secret without Saurons touch upon them thanks to Kelebrimbor! Remember Gandalf before he became Gandalf was the same species of entity Sauron used to be!! Wow hey?
The Rings in this case, would have lost their powers eventually due to the lack of the One Ring and possibly because they were designed to defeat evil, & evil in the form of Sauron had been defeated twice already in the past.
The Three Elven Rings served their purpose for a long time. Two out of three of them had several different bearers Unlike the other Rings, the main purpose of the Three is to "heal and preserve", as when Galadriel used Nenya to preserve her realm of Lothlórien over long periods.
The Elves made the Three Rings to try to halt the passage of time, or as Tolkien had Elrond say, "to preserve all things unstained". I can expand upon this based on any further statements & questions you have for me as a reply to this comment ! ❤
There is problem here with the Rings, the Three were supposed to be never touched by Sauron and that's why they were not corrupting…Sauron had not taken part in their making which made the Three more 'pure' unsullied by his dark power, unlike the Nine and Seven Rings! But Sauron in the show touched the very material they were made of!!! So technically he could have tainted them and corrupted!
Even appendices of Lot tell us the order of making the rings, so they didn't even need the righs to more detailed writings in UT or Silmarillion:
1200
Sauron endeavours to seduce the Eldar. Gil-galad refuses to treat with him; but the smiths of Eregion are won over. The Númenoreans begin to make permanent havens.
c. 1500
The Elven-smiths instructed by
Sauron reach the height of their skill.
They begin the forging of the Rings of Power.
c. 1590
The Three Rings are completed in Eregion.
c. 1600
Sauron forges the One Ring in
Orodruin. He completes the Barad-dûr. Celebrimbor perceives the designs of Sauron.
1693
War of the Elves & Sauron begins.
The Three Rings are hidden."
'Did you not hear me, Gloin?' said Elrond. 'The Three were not made by Sauron, nor did he ever touch them.
But of them it is not permitted to speak. So much only in this hour of doubt I may now say. They are not idle. But they were not made as weapons of war or conquest: that is not their power. Those who made them did not desire strength or domination or hoarded wealth, but understanding, making, and healing, to preserve all things unstained.
These things the Elves of Middle-earth have in some measure gained, though with sorrow. But all that has been wrought by those who wield the Three will turn to their undoing, and their minds and hearts will become revealed to Sauron, if he regains the One."
The 3 Elven Rings are not susceptible to “The One Ring” in any direct way.. They’re only tied by fate to lose their power if Sauron is defeated completely & absolutely. As they were made by the elves and as always they make things for a purpose and pour their literal spirit into things they create.
-
So if Sauron is defeated then the three rings power will fade and basically become almost useless or diminished versions of their original design since by this era magic has bled from the world by a huge degree thanks to Morgoth’s poisoning the world itself with his very essence that he poured into it. Called The Long Defeat By The Elves and The Men Of The West.
I know why you like the Shire. Because it reminds you of the rolling hills and beautiful meadows of the Deep South. Southern Belle America was very similar to England in the 18th Century.
40:40 - ya snared me.😂😂😅
God damn it...me too...I was being strong but the close up camera angle snared me. 😍 well played.!
You get alot more of Galadriel here with the extended edition. Huge dialogues between him who his grandmother in law. (Arwen is Galadriel’s granddaughter. Galadriel’s daughter Celebrian is Wife of Elrond.). ❤
This was amazing! Love you!!!!!
Welcome to The fandom before all fandoms ever existed. The LOTR family. (We aren’t making it up. People will flood your comment section. Everyone who simply reacts to the films or even does any extra videos regarding Tolkien they will find their CZcams and patreon community will grow by the hundreds and thousands in the span of only a few days. It’s always wild fun to see their faces when they voice their thoughts regarding the wave of love they are hit with when they thought it’d be just another movie reaction like all the others. 😂🤣
Just know that “the elvish languages” were added to the dictionary of world languages. They are fully fledged and so very important among other languages of his that were to restore the ancient languages and cultures of Finland, Ireland, Latin, Welsh, Gaelic, Irish, Anglo Saxon especially with another peoples language in the second movie. (Use extended only.)
Tolkien(the OG of all Authors) was a veteran of the First World War and many other battles such as The Battle Of Somme etc. his works of art were to give back to the England as a form of restoring lost mythologies that he himself was a master of since he was a top professor of philology at Oxford.
He did ALOT of his writing while in the trenches during WWI during small “breaks” while down in those trench forts built into the ground. And while he eldest son was in the Second World War; his Lord Of The Rings writings was strictly created above all else to give his eldest something to read while stationed wherever he was stationed.
I forgot that part. They sent letters back and forth about it all the time. He was also the one and only son that actually protected his fathers legacy and work.
A lot of his other work were put together BY his son after his father passed away.
It’s well worth to react to the documentary behind the scenes film the director and crew and cast created together as well as the interview with the son Christopher Tolkien who you get to sort of enjoy a nice indoor and outdoor chat for like what came to about 1-2 hours of wonderful footage from an era that really must not be forgotten.
His work shed a light on things like The Finnish Kalevala, Norwegian Elder Edda, The Welsh Mabinogion, The Norwegian Nibelungen, The Indian Bhagvagita & Several Irish Folklore + other Cultural things! The man also restored and translated ancient relics for the governments as one everyone trusted. Much of what’s in our dictionary come from his efforts as well.
Anytime he spoke & even posted several comments into the paper as an editorial or response to certain issues as a very involved man for the world and the environment everyone turned their head to listen to him as everyone knew his worth and respected him greatly. His works show how NOT to glorify war; shows in the films if you pay close attention while watching the next films.
Sharing what you know now via the after thoughts at the end of the second film! Remember. Extended edition. There is a lot missed out on especially in the second movie regarding Boromir backstory which there is much more in the books but the films WANTED to keep more but the cinemas literally harangued him into making a “theatrical cut” which is why you have two versions. The real version and the “theatrical cut”. It was all to make more money for the company that is the theatres/cinemas.
To get more showings in per day during the year. And believe me. People were camping outside and travelling the country to watch it MORE THAN ONCE.
His creations literally lead to inspiring the most currently famous books games & movies we all literally wouldn’t have enjoyed and be touched to our souls core without him and his spiritually connected brilliance. That and he was a philologist professor at Oxford first and foremost which covers so many things.
Not just linguistic. The man was a true genius and Jack of all trades but ultimately LOVED the simple life.
The inspiration for Lord of the Rings was not any war, but author J.R.R. Tolkien's love of language. Especially Welsh, Finnish and Old English.
He lamented the loss of any true English folklore, that was wiped out after the Norman invasion of 1066, so Tolkien wrote many books on these new "legends" he came up with himself. Much of which is centered around three languages he fully developed himself. Two Elven languages and Dwarvish., Númenorean Adunaic, Black Speech(warped Numenorean and elvish)
They all have alphabets, syntax and vocabularies and can be learned. Tolkien did draw upon his personal experience in the trenches of World War ONE, not Two, as inspiration for some parts, most notably, the Dead Marshes that Frodo and Sam and Gollum pass through in The Two Towers. But war was not the inspiration for the entire series.
World Of Warcraft. Skyrim, Harry Potter, Diablo, D&D, even Warhammer and so forth wouldn’t have. Existed without taking inspiration from and or completely ripping off from Tolkien. Many great documentaries to react to about him also more about him and AWESOME stuff from the hours & hours of behind the scenes documentaries from the DVDs of the movies which are also on CZcams & I can send you a playlist to react to from top to bottom on the channel called Pajasek99.
In the third movie you’ll see the proof of what I mean about the theatrical edition when you see a certain head orc in the third movie. Harvey Weinstein. - Peter Jackson wanted people to see the extended versions in the theatres, but Harvey Weinstein stopped him. In fact, Harvey wanted just ONE movie in the threatres, not a trilogy. 5 years of court proceedings - and the 'harvey weinstein orc" in return of the king (made at Jackson's specific direction) was the result.
Too many people don’t realize they are arguing in favour of a version of this movies that was only shown in theatres because of legal reasons - not for artistic reasons.
It’s why he snuck out the DVDs with the true (extended) edition including the awesome documentary they filmed together. It’s showing a marker of an era where they were breaking ground for what could be done on film. Even creating and programming technology for this movie specifically. By the team itself !
I'm new to your channel darlin, I love your reaction ta this. 😊 Fun fact Frodo is 50 years old, Sam is 38 years old, Merry is 34 years old and Pippin is either 28 or 29 years old. Just FYI beautiful lady 😊
Merry is 36 I believe not 34.
@@toodlescaenice seeing you again. Did you find the LOTR discord server that I mentioned before?
@@Makkaru112 no
We love the discussions so the more interactive a channel gets with its subscribers(especially with LOTR) the more subscribers it will attract. We’re sort of known as the sleeping giant. But we’re super fun overall. Several reaction channels have even joined my LOTR discord group. ❤
Speaking of Boromir’s relationship with the hobbits: you get a few glimpses of this in the extended edition ❤
As a longtime speaker of Klingon, I can tell you that nobody has ever gotten in trouble for speaking Klingon exclusively to their child, and in fact, nobody has ever done that.
I do know the man who spoke only Klingon to his child until he was two years old (back in the '90s), but his mother and everyone else spoke only English to him. It was an experiment in bilingualism. But when his son was about two he started to resist Klingon, wanting only things in English, so he stopped and switched to English.
The movies are masterpieces but they do Isildur some injustice. In the books, he NEVER succumbs to the ring, he instead spends his time being a fair ruler who practically gave power away to the people INSTEAD of being power hungry. He comes to realize that he is not powerful enough to truly bend the ring to his will.
That it will eventually overcome him. Isildur resolves to give the ring to Elrond but is killed on the way to Rivendel. It's a tragic story of a man that tries to right his wrong but ultimately fails.
In the books isildur literally repented and was about to bring the ring to Rivendell and apologize as he recognized it was beyond him even for a great numenorean connected to the faithful line of the mighty Elendil
I preface the prologue & war, other depictions I LOVE, captured the themes WELL, the vibe of the whole trilogy! The significance of the duel between Elendil & Sauron was Nerffed; (He wasn’t some random old bloke in armour getting smacked around) This man was MIGHTY and gleaming with power which you’ll find out in the great videos you’ll soon react to with joy!
* He and Gil-Galad; last true Elven King battled Sauron and slayed Sauron’s physical body and both died in the process. GilGalad was held high by the face for all free peoples to see as he then incinerated his bodily form to a crisp of ash! Isildur was part of the fight too but not as prominently and he just comes up to the body to cut the ring finger off and…. So one example is how easily Sauron is killed in the intro.
* • He's set up as this super powered badass, but all you have to do is cut off his finger? That's not how it went down in the book, where the greatest man-king and the greatest elven-king had to double-team Sauron to strike down his body, but were killed in the effort (Isildur then cuts the ring from the corpse).
Especially for elves the title of king has many meanings & by the Third Age there isn’t a population large enough to even attempt to such a thing as creating a unified kingdom, which would put a target on their backs, let alone many of them are beyond all of that anyway as it’s seen as doing more harm than anything good.
* They also seen what happened when the elves fell upon the swords of their own hubris and passion no matter if it was for the right reasons some of the time. That it always ended up in some sort of tragedy which sometimes even damaged the earth itself.
They had long known about what’s called the Long Defeat as ever since Morgoth’s marring of the land itself; pouring his remnants into it that caused the “magic” to slowly drain away from the land itself, which is sad because for ages several clans of elves were born there. even the greatest ancestors were “born” in middle earth awakening to the stars !
Many of who are left have accepted the next phase of their life which is to become councillors, healers and loremasters to those with the heart to listen and the desire to learn. But above all the guardians and custodians of several things and the world itself for as long as they can remain!❤ The elves “exist” as long as the world does. And Tolkien made it obvious in many ways that it’s our world as he restored Anglo Saxon culture/Mythologies and folklore, and their languages too alongside Irish, Welsh and Finnish mythologies too. Especially Norwegian(of which I am)
This is what Amazon (the show that shall not be named) didn’t deliver either [[AKA the actual story which inspired everything we love into existence with games and movies and books and so forth. Skyrim, elder scrolls, oblivion, Diablo, and world of Warcraft and D&D. And Game Of Thrones was hugely inspired by Tolkien… yet as the godfather of everything and the heart of what caused many peoples lives to be saved cannot get the justice it deserves for adaptations?
People literally conquered cancer because of the books and the trilogy, the books were read to their children for years. All 25 of them. The man was a hugely respected scholar and professor in the world. Translated ancient artifacts and hieroglyphs and petroglyphs and so forth for the government etc.
(JRR Tolkien even rejected being recruited into the CIA several times & he wrote everyone by letter and referenced the dudes who came to him as “little boys who knew not what they got themselves into” which showed his fearlessness.). The readers of the trilogy that came out are who he writes back to despite always replying to everyone back and forth.
Many people have shared the stories regarding these conversations which were past down throughout the family lines of the people who had a personal relationship with Tolkien which was hundreds of people when he was alive. Thousands. (Some are in video format too or happened to be shared later on in the video or comes up during a video about him and his work.
Especially nowadays when many of us came out of the woodwork to defend professor Tolkiens legacy from amazons money grubbing hands and so forth. Giving many channels a new lease on life where some make Tolkien related content now amongst other things they create content wise.
I really suggest you to watch the extended versions of next two movies
Thanks I’m going to!
@@kadetkatie9379 Don't listen to the hardcore fanboys. They only want you to watch the extended editions cause they're closer to the books. The films are adaptations, not translations. Stick to the theatrical cuts. Much better versions. And way less filler and fluff.
Yeah! Extended versions better
Doesn't take a "hardcore fan boy" to appreciate the extended over the theatrical. Your opinion that they are "filler and fluff" is nonsensical.
@@Whiskey0880 All the light hearted and goofy content like dancing on tables or singing poetry doesn't belong in the movies.
You’ve got a beautiful heart. I look forward to your thoughts and questions to any of our comments. Many of which I create by hand for each new reactor channel. It’d mean a lot to me if you did whenever you find the time ❤
Boromir actually ease the closest with the hobbits in the books and the hobbits also were much cooler and smarter than portrayed in these masterpieces. They just made a choice to focus on other things which they did ACCURATELY. Thanks to Alan Lee and John Howe who were artists Tolkien was friends with personally. It’s a rabbit hole of awesome stuff really. And we’re here to help you with it every step of the way and witness your joy as a first time viewer dive as deep as you wish into all of this since it’s never ending and keeps on giving. Even the movies themselves keep giving new kernels of wisdom or joy that tends to happen when thousands of people worldwide have rewatches these movies for their entire lives. We all have these experiences in common. ❤
For the purposes of both getting more subscribers and showing more of the movie and reaction a channel will split this film into 2 or 3 parts. ❤ same with the next two films
I watched this opening day at noon in the movie theaters, the emotional beats and key moments really hit well even though you knew what was coming with the ending credits and Enya's end-credit song "Let it Be" a special touch.
Love the video!
Make sure you watch the extended versions, otherwise you miss out on a lot, especially in return of the king.
Many that course correct have a much funner time with LOTR going forward. A few mention not even knowing the true extended edition even existed which is scary.
They are all filmed in New Zealand. Definitely ensnared 😊
Oh. If you loved Gandalf there is an epic Gandalf scene in Rivendell(Imladris) from the extended edition too. Please on behalf of all of us rewatch Fellowship Extended edition. It’s been a few days anyway and it’d be a refresher. LOTR is best watching back to back throughout a span of 1 or 2 weeks. It’ll help grow your channel too. Especially with how a channel handles LOTR. Some who disrespected LOTR ended up losing more than half of their subscriber base. Funny joke we have in our community: if someone doesn’t cry or show some emotion as Gandalf’s fall typically have no soul. To put it mildly. It’s almost like a gauge of someone’s character with how they handle that scene and these movies. Has even helped when someone is sussing out a new partner. Haha. 😂😅❤
You should also read the books---
React to the Phil Dragash Audiobook which brings everything and everyone to life.
So much character development and worldbuilding was removed from the theatres abridged version of the films
I was ensnared. 🙋♂️
I Boromir backstory in movie two if you don’t do extended edition by the way. Also. It’d remove a long scene between Aragorn and Arwen…
One of my usual questions - did she hear the song in the end credits? IMO this movie and the next one have exceptional end-title themes.
No- I’ll keep that in mind for the next one!
The entire soundtrack collection is one to cherish for its sincerity, its ecocation, purity, and hard-to-match artistry. But the outtro music in "The Return of the King" takes my top prize, especially "Into the West" -- take a listen to these 3 versions:
1.) a mash-up by several musicians and singers: Taylor Davis (violin), Malinda, Rachel Hardy, and Peter Hollens -- czcams.com/video/pk_-brO8F-4/video.html
2.) just Malinda and Rachel Hardy -- czcams.com/video/h_-AHeGO-bE/video.html
And then there's
3.) the original Annie Lennox version -- czcams.com/video/UoVaK2NXmJA/video.html
BUT! You won't hear this mash-up on any LotR authorized compilation album:
czcams.com/video/LWXwIYC67kM/video.html
@@artbagley1406 But we should keep this in perspective, all things considered the Stephen Oliver score still rules.
@@kadetkatie9379react to May It He Be by Enya. It’s supposed to be like Galadriel’s prayer upon Frodo. She did one in the books while they were in Lothlórien and Aragorn clarified true parts of the elvish Frodo didn’t understand etc.
@@kadetkatie9379 dunno where my reply went here but I’ll say again that I add my vote to your LOTR special music reactions
39:31 - Dwarves can't see offscreen.😅
It’s one of their flaws! 😅
There is no primary language in Star Trek perhaps you mean Klingon? A species in the Star Trek universe.
I was almost ensnared but you didn't hold your wang eye long enough, so i got away.
Is this a reupload?
Yeah I had audio issues :(
No comments, lets go for more😋
3:07 you think he would get a decent pair pants ?
Pants!
@@kadetkatie9379 Yes pants. I wll edit..... still not sure why you said it mind vixen
Comment.
Stares of Galadriel works.
Stares?
