Peter Jackson remembered Sir Ian Holm. Despite suffering from Parkinson's disease, he played this part in The Hobbit as a favor to Peter, although he didn't want to at first. Ian had trouble walking and he couldn't remember his lines. The set was moved from New Zealand to London, so Ian could work with a small film crew only. There, brave as he was, Ian gave his final performance, leaving everybody on the set very emotional. R.I.P. Sir Ian Holm.
I remember when I heard Christopher Lee had died too, I think it was my dad or my brother that came across it on Facebook, but at least we still have Ian McKellen (for now)
My parents and I do a LOTR marathon every year (all six parts starting with the Hobbit.) All the extended versions I might add lol! We are on the last bit of the Battle of the Five Armies at this point. This scene where Bilbo meets Gandalf again after so many years (and how it directly mirrors where the Fellowship begins) always gets me in the feels. This is the moment where all six films are tied together completely. Such a wonderful experience that I never tire of. God bless J.R.R. Tolkien for giving us such a timeless story and God Bless Peter Jackson and everyone who put their hearts and souls into these amazing adaptions!
@@AAron_Pendragon That's how my grandma and I do it when we watch the Middle-earth films. In fact, that was the order I first showed them to her. We started when An Unexpected Journey was in theaters and I patiently waited three years for all three Hobbit movies to come out before I showed her The Lord of the Rings. It was well worth the wait to give her the complete story. And once we got the Extended Editions, we haven't gone back to the theatrical cuts since. She loves all six movies.
RIP Sir Christopher Lee (May 27, 1922 - June 7, 2015), aged 93 And RIP Sir Ian Holm (September 12, 1931 - June 19, 2020), aged 88 You both will be remembered as legends.
At The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey, when bilbo decided to join The company of thorin and after he caught up with them beginning their Journey, Bilbo says "I forgot my handkerchief back home!" This was the handkerchief he meant at 0:30 and when he looks at it. He remembered the Beginning of his Journey. So wonderful
Peter Jackson left no stone unturned. He also edited and created scenes perfectly that it flows right from end of this movie to the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring!
I see a lot of the probelms people had with these movies, but I can never bring myself to hate the movies...they hold a special place in my heart and this ending hit me hard. When the final movie finished, and i heard gandalf's voice after knocking, a smile of joy was on my face, and a tear running down my cheek, as if the little boy i once was just came out for a little while. It was the perfect ending, thank you Peter Jackson.
Me too! I know exactly why they technically suck, but I enjoy them all the same. Reminded me of why I love Middle Earth and well-crafted fantasy, so well-crafted that I could even love a strange adaptation.
1:17 I love how the background music teases the theme of the LOTR. Like its wants to play but Bilbo keeps looking away from the ring. But then it finally plays why he holds it in his hand.
"End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it." - Gandalf The White
@@Firelance2361 do you think they should go back and add the end of the footage at the end of the third Hobbit movie in the beginning of the Battle of the Five Armies to set up the events for the film?
This hit my feels so hard. Truly what a beautiful ending. It's really fucking beautiful that your emotions and sense of adventure could be placed in a series of films, it's without a doubt an art.
When Fili, Kili, Thorin died i was tearing up ( First movie i cry to btw ) And the ending put a little smile to me a smile that i never have had before. Thank god for this movie. :')
The smooth transition from the Hobbit: The battle of the Five Armies using Sir Ian Holm as the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring was extraordinarily brilliant.
Bilbo struggling to not give the ring attention, to avoid it almost (even though he doesn't know why), it's like he can almost sense something is wrong - only to succumb anyway is incredible acting by Freeman there
I love the transitions and the fact that they filmed the "Bilbo annoyed at the knocking on the door" scene again, but from the inside of Bag End. Very, very well done. This is the first time I've watched the ending after seeing the film at the cinema years ago, and it's even better than I remember it. :-)
This movie contained the final on-screen appearances of both Sir Christopher Lee *and* Sir Ian Holm. And I think they both ended on a high note with their respective last scenes.
1:00 You can tell he’s thinking to himself “Why did I lie about the ring?” While the scene begins as a cheerful yet somber return from an adventure, it gives a foreboding sense as we know what that ring does to him and how it already has a hold. Gandalf was right in the first movie, he did change when he came back, but a bit of that change wasn’t for the better
@@Humbajiganot gonna lie, a lot of combat vets kinda have that same feeling. Go though something big and chaotic and when it's all over it's just you and your conscience playing over and over again.
@@Under_Your_Bed_SERIOUSLY. This truly is the most underrated emotional scene in all of film. Just as you thought the punch in the gut couldn’t hurt more. They came with an uppercut to the nut sack with the last goodbye. A final goodbye from your friends of Tolkien’s works
@@Under_Your_Bed_Same. A lot of scenes in various movies have made me cry - Maximus’s death in Gladiator, James Bond grieving over his dead wife at the end of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Roy Batty in Blade Runner, but the Last Goodbye really gets me.
@@ezhenry5441 yeah Frodo and Sam but their story is almost completely separated from aragorn, legolas, gimli, merry, pippin and all the other fine folks of middle earth they all expand middle earth it's landscape races etc
What really gets me about this scene is, it’s kind of a happy ending to Bilbo’s adventure, but me as the viewer, knowing the chaos and tragedy that awaits after the “MY DEAR GANDALF” just brings shivers down my spine.
I'm convinced that this was EXACTLY the feeling Jackson wanted to create in viewers....at least in those who followed the original before The Hobbit trilogy. I shivered too when I realized that the final scene of The Hobbit was actually one of the first ones in LOTR, only seen from Bilbo's perspective. Partly for excitement....and partly for fear, knowing full well what was going to happen from that point forward. I recommend watching the original trilogy again after finishing The Hobbit: It's a whole different experience, I assure you.
While people were crying over avengers, I came here to share this video. This has been the best ending ever. The best part is the way music changes, from Hobbit to LOTR!
I liked this scene - perfect way to end the Hobbit trilogy. Bilbo is such an introverted hobbit, he's used to the comforts of home, but once he's exposed to more of Middle-Earth outside of life at the Shire - in all its beauty yet danger - he comes back home a different hobbit. Now that he's back home, it's not the same anymore. It's trashed and cluttered - much like what he went through on his quest with the dwarves. And now he has to put it back together AND process his entire journey - everything he's been through. All we hear in this scene before we cut back to FOTR Bilbo is just music for the most part and Bilbo introspecting on everything. Such a powerful scene (not as powerful as a scene from the original LOTR trilogy, but still powerful)....
This is the scene that made me realize what the Hobbit and LOTR are: It's an old man and his heir in their twilight years telling the story of the moment their lives changed forever to the next generation. When Frodo gives Sam the Red Book at the end of Return of the King and says the last pages were for him, it pretty much means the story will never be finished, it was only Sam's turn to add to the story and then pass the book onto his children so they can add their stories
The changing of who you are as a person and how you view the world is a HUGE underlying part to these movies. Here Bilbo is by himself when he realizes it, at the pub its the 4 hobbits in RoTK and the simple yet understanding nod they give that everything has changed for them yet nobody else knows or has any idea. LOVE these parts of the movies.
If I ever have children, I will sit them down when they are older, and I will make them watch all of these movies, starting with the Hobbit movies, and ending with the first three.
And after that, they will ask "The Book Bilbo wrote about his tales, is there a movie out of it? And then you play Unexpected journey and they saw Old bilbo baggins saying that he will tell his tale as stated at the opening scene of the unexpexted jiurney and yer kids be Like "YEAHH!!!
I've watched the Fellowship of the Ring enough times to know that when Bilbo opens the door to greet Gandalf, it is the exact audio taken from the LORT movie. Nice detail there.
Of course, my personal opinion on a films quality should totally mean that it cant do anything right, so that means it cant transition into another film no heck you chris
I died of crying when i saw this , it has a spacial place in my heart like , i love this more than everything . Thank you Peter Jackson , thank you so much 💗
"The road goes ever on and on, down out the door where it began. When all is said and all is done, I will follow it if I can"- Gandalf's and Bilbo's song
Its been almost 10 years since this movie came out, most people hated it, but for me it has a special place, It was also sad because this was last Peter Jackson Movie, and he said he isnt going to do more LOTR or hobbit movies, and Billy Boyd singing in credits was perfect, Last Goodbye song, for the last goodbye from amazing stories. LOTR changed me into a person I am today, and once a year I watch them all. RIP Sir Ian and Sir Christopher, also Christopher Tolkien, who changed the world by helping finish his fathers work. Legends of this world.
Every tie in to LOTR is done magnificently. From the Trolls Turing to stone to the map at the end. When you watch the Fellowship of the Ring right after it’s an almost seamless transition.
I genuinely cry every time I watch this clip. It’s so emotional and has a special place in my heart. A perfect ending to a wonderfully underrated trilogy
The "Revenge of the Sith" ending setting up the story for "A New Hope". Or you could say it's similar to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" ending one story and jumping into the next established adventure.
Martin Freeman did an absolutely outstanding job of conveying how terrifying the Ring is just after the 1 minute mark here. It slips little thoughts and desires into your mind when you're not looking, playing on what it already finds there and twisting it for its own ends. When he puts the pictures of his parents back and steps back to admire them, you can see his face change, as if he suddenly feels the urge to pull the Ring out and admire _it_ as well, then catches himself and thinks, "now hold on, where did _that_ come from? And there it is again! Why do I want to hold it? Maybe if I just ignore it and look out the window, the urge will pass." But it doesn't. It just keeps getting stronger, like an itch.
I found the moment he returns home to be quite sad, he was off on this grand adventure, made memories to last a lifetime.... He came home to this empty house, alone, with nothing going on, he takes out his ring and stares at it as time passes and cut to him being 111 years old, still in the same empty house, still looking at the ring, as if his whole life has passed him by and yet he’ll never live as much as he did when he set off with the dwarves on an adventure
The decision to include Ian Holm in the ending, aged pretty well. RIP legend, you are not forgotten. Also might I add, I know this movie is often considered the weakest one in the series, but it certainly had the best closing scene of the three, free of cliffhangers.
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve" has a new flavor after you see what they did to Bag End.
I wish they used "Bilbo's Song" theme from the RotK OST for this scene. It wouldve made such an impact. You also get more of an understanding of Bilbo's attachment to the One Ring. It seems more sentimental, as if a token of all the amazing things he experienced outside his comfort zone.
I don't care wether this trilogy was messy and criticized. But I loved this ending so much. It started in the present where it began and ended in the end of the beginning of the movie.
When the movie ended i just straight up cried. I wanted more of bilbo. It felt like the end of an era and i just loved the series😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 the ending hit me so hard 🥺🥺🥺😢😭
I remember tearing up in theatre to this. “My dear Gandalf” as it loops back into the original trilogy. Billy Boyd’s the last goodbye plays as we exit the theatre as a final goodbye from Tolkien’s world.
"It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to." -Bilbo Baggins (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (2001)) RIP Ian Holm (September 12, 1931 to June 19, 2020) ⚰️😢
I truly don't care what everyone now a days say about The Hobbit Trilogy, because just an harmless Prequel trilogy to the EPIC Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, and that Ian Holm will always be remember of playing old Bilbo Baggins in both trilogy.
The best ending part of the story of the trilogy in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies where this story ends linking up to the main events and upcoming adventure where The Lord of the Rings takes place chronologically from beginning to end believing how those movies will forever lived on in our hearts and minds for all eternity.

Saruman was the same thing, he was too old to make the trip
Yes his scenes had to be done in London because him coming here to New Zealand just wasn’t an option
When you finish watching this, you just have to watch again the trilogy of The Lord of The Rings, to continue the adventure.

Gandalf was right in the first movie, he did change when he came back, but a bit of that change wasn’t for the better
he legit came from a giant war big scary. To come back with an empty house and literally nothing to do its kind of depressing
Also the fact that well, he's an honest one. But then he lied about the ring.

Every tie in to LOTR is done magnificently. From the Trolls Turing to stone to the map at the end. When you watch the Fellowship of the Ring right after it’s an almost seamless transition.
I love it when Bilbo got old. He still remember Gandalf and he hugged him . Like it was the first time that they meet. The ending warmth my spirit.
Rest in peace Ian Holm! Playing older Bilbo was his final role and this his final scene...
This made me shiver with happy and sad tears at the part where you hear *knock knock knock* were it looks at the map and you hear them laughing
That facial expression he made at 1:38 you can tell he didn't want to look at it
This scene make me cry
It's great he got to keep the quest map. Think of all the memories attached to it.
I genuinely cry every time I watch this clip. It’s so emotional and has a special place in my heart. A perfect ending to a wonderfully underrated trilogy
1:30 the music brings back childhood nostalgia I was so young back then....but the Hobbit couldn't surpass lotr
Weirdo Reborn ikrr
It's unable to do so, because you don't want it to do so.
Rest in peace my dear Bilbo
RIP Sir Ian Holmes. May your journey into Valinor be a peaceful one and a beginning of a new adventure.
The "Revenge of the Sith" ending setting up the story for "A New Hope". Or you could say it's similar to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" ending one story and jumping into the next established adventure.
The Clone Wars transitioned into Revenge of the Sith.
I wasn't in love with this trilogy, but this about as perfect ending as could be. I have a feeling Peter Jackson always wanted to finish it this way.
Right after I left the movies I went straight to my old collection of lotr dvds I started watching trilogy again. I’m so happy to be lotr fan.
1:37 great acting
Martin Freeman did an absolutely outstanding job of conveying how terrifying the Ring is just after the 1 minute mark here. It slips little thoughts and desires into your mind when you're not looking, playing on what it already finds there and twisting it for its own ends. When he puts the pictures of his parents back and steps back to admire them, you can see his face change, as if he suddenly feels the urge to pull the Ring out and admire _it_ as well, then catches himself and thinks, "now hold on, where did _that_ come from? And there it is again! Why do I want to hold it? Maybe if I just ignore it and look out the window, the urge will pass." But it doesn't. It just keeps getting stronger, like an itch.
I found the moment he returns home to be quite sad, he was off on this grand adventure, made memories to last a lifetime....
He came home to this empty house, alone, with nothing going on, he takes out his ring and stares at it as time passes and cut to him being 111 years old, still in the same empty house, still looking at the ring, as if his whole life has passed him by and yet he’ll never live as much as he did when he set off with the dwarves on an adventure
No matter how great the adventure is, it's always nice coming home.
The movies could have been done better but I still like them. And this ending just really tops it off.
The decision to include Ian Holm in the ending, aged pretty well. RIP legend, you are not forgotten.
Also might I add, I know this movie is often considered the weakest one in the series, but it certainly had the best closing scene of the three, free of cliffhangers.
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve" has a new flavor after you see what they did to Bag End.
This is THE PERFECT prequel trilogy!
How much do i have to love this movies yet 💔 i have fallen head over heels in love with this story , characters , places ...everything
RIP Sir Ian Holm
I wish they used "Bilbo's Song" theme from the RotK OST for this scene. It wouldve made such an impact.
You also get more of an understanding of Bilbo's attachment to the One Ring. It seems more sentimental, as if a token of all the amazing things he experienced outside his comfort zone.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do a prequel.
I don't care wether this trilogy was messy and criticized. But I loved this ending so much. It started in the present where it began and ended in the end of the beginning of the movie.
Rest in peace Ian Holm 😔
One of my fav scene ..RIP bilbo
When the movie ended i just straight up cried. I wanted more of bilbo. It felt like the end of an era and i just loved the series😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 the ending hit me so hard 🥺🥺🥺😢😭
I love this scene, it's basically starting a trilogy over 10 years later. This ending makes you want to see The Lord of the Rings trilogy again
This is such a beautiful ending. First time i saw it, i really felt like it was a movie that went to another. That broke me into tears.
My fucking god, the sense of adventure that this ending leaves is amazing
One of the greatest transitions from the books to the big movie screen...
Blended the trilogies seamlessly
I remember tearing up in theatre to this. “My dear Gandalf” as it loops back into the original trilogy. Billy Boyd’s the last goodbye plays as we exit the theatre as a final goodbye from Tolkien’s world.
I cried watching this scene
Rest in Peace sir Ian Holm
Thank you for being part of the adventure of a lifetime
RIP Sir. Ian Holm
2:03 😢😢😢
I started crying in the theater!
Flashback to TFOTR when I watched it as a kid
"It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to."
-Bilbo Baggins (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (2001))
RIP Ian Holm (September 12, 1931 to June 19, 2020) ⚰️😢
He even died on the same age my grandfather had died.
I truly don't care what everyone now a days say about The Hobbit Trilogy, because just an harmless Prequel trilogy to the EPIC Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, and that Ian Holm will always be remember of playing old Bilbo Baggins in both trilogy.
Say what you want about the Hobbit movies but you have to admit this ending was perfect
The ending of things is just a mere beginning of the new.
Bilbo Baggins was Ian Holm’s final film role before his death in 2020. He will always be remembered in our hearts.

Justin Platt How observant of you

Correctus, chopper, builden
This ending is SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL, it made me feel touched & me eyes all runny. IT IS A MASTERPIECE!!!
🤧🤧
I don't what people are chatting shit about saying that this hobbit was terrible, I thought it was brilliant.
This is sad because despite knowing Frodo’s journey is what comes next you still got attached to this one and you know it will never be continued
The best ending part of the story of the trilogy in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies where this story ends linking up to the main events and upcoming adventure where The Lord of the Rings takes place chronologically from beginning to end believing how those movies will forever lived on in our hearts and minds for all eternity.
