Hey everyone, you may notice the opening monologue is now silent :( and that's because YT muted it for copyright reasons. I think its the music of that scene unfortunately...
it sucks and its not your fault that they suck but you could add what you were saying that was muted to the captions, i certainly couldn't read your lips
new zealand, the most beautiful country on earth
Another reactor had the same thing happen... that's so bizarre
The Elf language is based on a Finnish dialect spoken that was spoken on an island off Finland.
CZcams can be nit picky, when what they copyright strike or not... sad your LOTR reaction is 1 they chose to hit.
LOL, she says she's not into Fantasy, sees the shire and it was all over.
I love seeing this happen.
“Did you know that in New Zealand you can actually visit it!”
Usually follows the Aragorn kicking comment in most common lmao.
Lol who couldn't love the shire, I also live in new Zealand and sometimes it really feels like I'm in middle earth
Everyone says they arent into fantasy or scifi until they realise the depth and beauty of the worlds and stories
The LOTR spell
The Author,Tolkien was a philologist and created the languages in these films. In a sense , the world he created was meant to explain the history of the languages. An absolute genius!
He initially came up with the stories to give a background to the languages he was creating.
@@Aaron-io8vw Tolkien would tell theses stories about this creature he created called a hobbit to his children at bedtime…until young Christopher started to correct him on details. It was at that point he figured he should actually start writing it down .
@@Being_There he started writing about the elves while he was recovering from illness he had contracted during during WWI in 1917, the first drafts of the Fall of Gondolin and the Book of Lost Tales date from then. Your confusing Tom Bombadil with the Hobbits. He was grading papers one day when he just wrote in the margin"in A hole in the ground there lived a hobbit".
Tom Bombadil was the character who he created to tell bedtime stories to his children. Per his own letters he had no idea why he added Tom into the First book of LOTR and that he did it because it felt righr.
@@Aaron-io8vw very cool info! I recently saw a rare interview with either him or Christopher stating that about getting the Hobbit details on paper because his son kept telling him he was getting the details wrong. Incredible that it was of Christopher…considering his life long knowledge and dedication to his fathers work!
What is phiologist
The beginning of Fellowship of the Ring is still one of the best opening scenes ever. They managed to put over 3000 years of exposition and backstory into one scene and make it entertaining and fit perfectly with the rest of the film.
It is within the league of Dune.
The movie is shot in New Zealand by a Fabulous director from New Zealand called Peter Jackson. The language at the beginning was a creation of John Reginald Ruehl Tolkien, The author the books on which the films are based. It is loosely based on Anglo Saxon Danish.Tolkien was a former dean of oxford university languages department where he taught students.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
The most lovingly created cinematic experience ever created. You will fall headfirst into the world they've created and will find yourself coming back to this franchise again and again as you grow older, as nothing can truly compare.
You're doing the right thing by watching the Extended Editions, there are some excellent context scenes that really allow first-time viewers to follow the giant/complex story more easily.
I am so glad you're watching, can't wait for the next video, keep up the great work!
“Why did Strider give Frodo to her and not go with her?”
Arwen insists in their brief conversation that she carry Frodo across the River to her people because she is the faster rider (not only is she lighter than Aragorn, but Asfoloth is her horse). Aragorn couldn’t accompany her because 1) there was only one horse and 2) someone needed to remain behind to guide and protect the other hobbits.
Also, in the book it was Glorfindel who meets Strider and the Hobbits; Glorfindel being an older Elf who's over-powered AF and is in every way the better option to go 1v9 with Nazgul.
But then again, it's more interesting to have the more under-powered Arwen be the rider because it's more a struggle and sets up a relevant character.
@@samwallaceart288 It also would have been too much. The books are great but you have to cut down characters in the movies. And using a character like arwen to further enhance Aragon's story is simply more reasonable that introducing character which doesn't really interact with the main cast in many ways. There is also a particular lack of romance in the early stages of the book which wouldn't help aragons character much
@@samwallaceart288 - yep, but I was trying to respond to her question within the context of the film adaptation only.
Well, you're officially addicted to The Lord of the Rings for the rest of your life...you're watching the extended editions so, you may not appreciate them as much as we did seeing the theatrical releases a hundred times before these were released. This was filmed in New Zealand, and you actually can still go to the Shire today.
I forgot it still there. If I ever go the new Zealand. It's on my list
I mean, you are not even lying saying we saw the theatrical ones atleast 100 times. Biggest truth of the day!
It’s called hobbiton and yes it’s still here..
I'd love to visit hobbiton one day
Great reaction! You're a very smart young lady with a great memory. You really kept up on the names and places very well. You kind of blew me away when you correctly linked the relationship of Arwen and Aragorn with the song that Aragorn sang about Luthien the Elf maiden. Great job. You would probably really enjoy reading the books. I look forward to you reacting to the next two movies. Thank you for taking the time to react to these masterpieces.
I'm so glad you're watching this trilogy. Some of the best characters and storytelling in cinema. Make sure you have a box of tissues with you, it's an emotional ride.
Hearing Dasha say "adorable" is my favorite time of the day
This girl is very bright. She kept up with the story where many others got confused. It was filmed in New Zealand but Middle Earth is supposed to represent Middle England (that's where Tolkien was from) but England doesn't have as much untouched landscape anymore so filming here would be difficult. Btw, the pipe weed is also tobacco not weed.
I don't know about that pipe weed... you get a bunch of stoners in one community and you basically get Hobbits.
There’s no way hobbit society would have been so chill and food-focused if it were tobacco. :-p
@@RoccondilRinon The Shire itself is enough to chill the soul (nothing more needed). I watched a documentary confirming pipe weed is just tobacco, although the LOTR movies (including the Hobbit movies) try to cheekily hint at it being weed, but that was just a directorial decision. Hippies in the 60's tried to make a connection to justify their (bad) habit so that might be where the idea originated. Back in Tolkien's day there wasn't any weed around and Tolkien use to smoke a pipe, so pipe weed is just (nice tasting) tobacco.
@@aggangle3240 “back in Tolkien’s day there wasn’t any weed around” it’s been used for literally thousands of years, and was popular enough to be banned within his lifetime. A man as learned as he would have known of its cultural significance.
Of course he smoked tobacco himself, explicitly said it was tobacco, and intended it to be such; conversely, the use of the word “weed” for cannabis was itself popularised if not invented by hippies referring to the Hobbits’ pipe-weed, so it had no such connotations when he used the word.
I simply choose to believe he was obviously mistaken, and “translated” the herb referred to in the Red Book by reference to something he was more familiar with. Tobacco is, after all, a New World crop (not that that stops potatoes and tomatoes from making appearances, either) and Middle-earth is supposed to represent the Old World.
@@jeremiahalonzo It's definitely meant to be tobacco in the books, but probably more so meant to be marijuana or something similar in the movies. The term weed in reference to marijuana was not very commonplace in Tolkien's time, and its usage was also not nearly as commonplace as it is today. However, tobacco was extremely commonplace. And, if you think about it, Pipe-weed is a very good way of describing what tobacco is: a plant/weed that you smoke in a pipe.
Interesting fact. Director Peter Jackson took Bilbo's house interior set and made it a second addition to his mansion. When people come to visit him.
He asks if they want to stay in the regular guest room, or the Hobbiton guest room. You figure which one they go for.
You are going to love this trilogy. That beautiful place is New Zealand.
The lord of the rings trilogy are 3 of the best films ever created, very happy to see you react to this
Dasha I have to say. I love your editing on this reaction. What genius to use the blur to keep the audio but limit the screen time and thus get more of the movie in the reaction. Awesome. I love it. Great work. You are becoming a top-notch editor for sure.
21:50 Arwen can't actually control the water, she calls on the power of her people to protect them, because the river Bruinen is the border of the elven land.
24:45 Normally that scene comes with subtitles, but i'll try and repeat what they say.
Arwen asks if Aragorn remembers the first time they met and Aragorn answers that he thought he had strayed into a dream.
Arwen says that long years have passed since then and that he did not carry the weight that he does now. She then asks what she told him then and he answers again that she told him she would forsake the immortal life and bind herself to him. The rest is again in English.
27:15 Elves and Dwarves have a very long and bloody history together and they generally don't like each other with some very rare exceptions.
You are keeping up really good with the Storyline which is not easy with this movie! A very nice Reaction!
Yeah, I really hope she makes sure the elvish subtitles are on for the next two films. Sighhh I don't understand why they aren't there sometimes, or they get covered by the closed captions or other language subtitles :///
I am just completely impressed by how sharp you are. Compared to the books, the movies are really pared down, but still extremely complex. You picked up on so many things that other reactors either don’t get or just don’t notice. You have a great memory and the rare ability to identify the connections between events. The one that really got me was you noticing the link between Arwen giving up her immortal life for the love of a man, and the Lay of Luthien that Aragorn was singing in the marshes. They are absolutely connected, and you are the first person I have seen who noted it. Keep it up, you’re doing so well. I’m looking forward to the next video.
Too few reactors concentrate on how wholesome The Shire is. It's wonderful to see how captivated you are by it. :)
You may have recognized the face of Saruman, because it is Christopher Lee, who also played Count Dooku in Star Wars episodes 2 and 3.
Christopher Lee was the only member of the cast who had met JRR Tolkien in real life. Lee read The Lord of the Rings every year.
The casting of the LOTR movies was superb.
He plays almost exactly the same character in the two movies: an elderly gentleman who is under the corrupting influence of a dark lord.
@@david2869, no one is going to confuse Count Dooku with Saruman. They have some superficial similarities, but are quite different.
So you are a fan of Christopher Lee? Name 20% of the films he was on! =D
Lee has also been a Bond villain and played Dracula in several horror films opposite Peter Cushing who was also in star wars: a new hope
Out of all the reactions to LOTR I’ve watched this is the first where the reactor asked “Was the bacon worth it?” when they got to the Ringwraiths attacking on Weathertop 😁 Superb! 😊
Yes, the bacon was worth it.
Most people miss some details the first time they watch this but you noticed pretty much all of them. :D You were right that it was the moth which brought the giant eagle to rescue Gandalf. In Tolkien's world the giant eagles are intelligent and can talk. :)
I'm glad you are watching the extended editions. The movies are long, yes, but they had to cut important things for the theatrical release. It's much better to get the whole story. 👍
The extended editions bore me.
@@DanielLopez-zt4ig How nice for you that you are free to not watch them. 🙂
Great job using the Extended Edition! There's SO MUCH that's missing from the Theatrical Cut.
It really can't be overstated just how important the Lord of the Rings (the books) is not only to fantasy, but to almost all of modern fiction in general. Its influences even extend to Star Wars and the MCU.
Although they call it "weed," Tolkien's books do make it pretty explicit that pipeweed is a form of tobacco.
The song Aragorn sang is the tale of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel, two of the most important figures of Tolkien's Legendarium. And their romance is one of THE most important stories in the entire cycle:
Beren was a mortal Man, and Lúthien was the daughter of Thingol, ruler of Doriath, and one of the most important Kings of the Elves of the First Age. Her mother was Melian, a Maia spirit (lesser angelic beings, of which Gandalf is one [not a big spoiler, is nature is well-established in the books]). Beren and Lúthien fell in love, but although Thingol greatly loved Beren as if he were a son, he refused to allow them to marry unless Beren could reclaim one of the Silmarils (magical jewels coveted by...everyone) stolen by the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Although they succeeded in their quest, (including a confrontation with Sauron, and Lúthien wove an enchantment on Morgoth himself) Beren died from wounds he received in the conflict, and Lúthien died of grief.
However, Men must leave the circles of the World, while Elves are bound to it until its destruction, so even in death they couldn't be together. Lúthien's grief was so great that Mandos, the god-like power who maintains the place where the spirits of Elves go when they die so they can be reembodied, was moved to pity for the only time since the world was created. He sought counsel with Manwë, the chief of the higher angelic powers (the Valar). However Eru, the ultimate God figure of Tolkien's mythology, would not change the fates of Men and Elves. Instead, Beren and Lúthien were offered a choice: For Beren to pass on into death and Lúthien would continue to live on, or they could be returned to Middle-earth, but Lúthien would sacrifice her immortality. Out of love for Beren, Lúthien chose the latter, and they were allowed to return to Middle-earth to live out the rest of their lives mortal lives.
This story is important because of the obvious parallels with Aragorn and Arwen, but also for another reason: Lúthien bore Beren a son, Díor, who eventually succeeded Thingol as King. Díor eventually sired a daughter, Elwing, who married another of the Half-Elven, Earendil (the son of the mortal Man Tuor, who became the only Man reckoned among the Eldar - the Elves - as sort of an exchange for Lúthien forsaking her immortality, and Idril Celebrindal, daughter of King Turgon of Gondolin). They had two sons, Elros and Elrond. Yes, the very same Elrond who maintains Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings. As Half-Elven, Elrond and Elros were allowed to choose which of their heritage to follow. Elrond remained among the Elves, but Elros chose to become mortal. He then became the first King of Númenor, and is Aragorn's direct ancestor through thousands of generations of Kings of Númenor, Gondor, and Arnor, and finally Chieftains of the Dúnedain.
Almost everything that happens in the Lord of the Rings is in some way connected to Beren and Lúthien's quest to reclaim the Silmarils from Morgoth.
You really should read the books. The mythology and interconnectedness of it is absolutely beautiful.
There is nothing quite like Dasha's "Oh no no no no!" This trilogy is nothing but "Oh no no no!"
This is a story that shaped fantasy as we know it today, and the movies are òne of the greatest adaptations, so much love went into making them.
Hi, Dasha!! You recognize Saruman, because it is the same actor who played Count Dooku in Star Wars, Sir Christopher Lee.
Pipeweeds are essentially similar to tobacco, as Tolkien was fond of smoking a pipe and enjoyed high quality and specialty tobaccos.
Capstan Blue pipe tobacco if anyone was curious what Tolkien's favorite brand was. Still readily available too!
I'm gonna just stay imagine they're smoking that good good
@@reggieM2w2 Tolkien wanted everyone to have their own takeaway from his writings, so that's just fine!
We have all the reasons to assume pipeweed IS tobacco, since it was brought from the West by the Dunedain, along with potatoes
Wrong! He got high on 420... How do you think he came up with all his ideas
The scenery in the Lord of the Rings is the very reason New Zealand is the place I want to visit the most. I agree, it looks stunning!
Gandalf sent the butterfly (actually a moth) to bring Gwaihir the Windlord to help him. In the book there was no moth Gwaihir and his other eagles had been keeping track of the growing evil in the world and had come to Orthanc to warn the Wizards only to find Gandalf being held prisoner in an Orc stronghold.
Emporer Gum Moth. Theyr'e big and really cute.
Interestingly, a lot of languages only have one word for butterflies/moths
Welcome to Middle Earth, Dasha. You are in for a riproaring, epic journey with each instalment more intense and mind-blowing than the last. Many of us had to wait several decades for Tolkien's vast and incomparable vision to be realised on the big screen. It was filmed almost entirely in New Zealand, which has the varied topography to do this masterpiece visual justice. I see you are already engaging well with the characters and will get to know them intimately, as well as embracing larger-than-life new ones. It is our privilege that you allow us to share this journey with you. Bon voyage, milady.
Great reaction Dasha :) always great to see you smile!
And yes, filmed here in New Zealand as others have said. You're welcome to come visit 😊
Yes! Exactly like the nine riders. In the books the fellowship is actually also called The Nine Walkers, to contrast them with the Nazgul. Good catch
Oh lord, I am so glad you're watching LOTR and SW :D Cannot wait for part 2
14:03 Don't worry about the wizards appearing old. I mean they are old, but they're not really old men. That's just how they appear to people of middle earth. They're actually lower level gods/angels (whatever you want to call them; their official rank in LOTR is Maiar and more specifically the Istari) Lots of confusing terminology, but the point is they're not actually old men lol They're very powerful beings which is why the seemingly fragile old man was able to take on a giant fire demon.
saruman was played by one of the great horror actors of the 20th century, christopher lee. Who actually once met Tolkien at university.
25:00 English is not my first language. The first time I watched the movie in theatre, I heard Arwen say "I choose a mortal elf", speaking of Aragorn. I was a little disappointed when I read the subtitle on DVD "I choose a mortal life."
4:45 A bit of both, they are fireworks, but they do things normal fireworks cannot, they are augmented with wizardry.
5:10 Hobbits usually live a little longer than humans, they 'come of age' at 33. To reach 111 is unusual, but not unheard of,
20:22 A moth, not a butterfly, moths fly at night and have feathery antennae, butterflies fly during the day and have different shaped antennae.
Something the movie failed to convey was the passage of time between Bilbo's 111th birthday and Gandalf returning to the Shire. 17 years passed. Frodo was 33 when Bilbo left, and 50 when he started his own adventure. He's 51 when he wakes up in Riverdale.
Oh, this movie was filmed in New Zealand. It's possible to visit Hobbiton. The set has been preserved as a tourist attraction, if you're ever able to travel there.
Well, young Lady, I have seen tons of reactions to this. I have to say, you have made the best cut of such reactions on yt by far. You were supposed to make a short cut of the first part of the part one of this masterpiece and you did it quite well. Impressing. Make a long story short and don't miss a thing. You did it.. Have fun in exploring this masterpiece !
The Nazgul stopped at the river because they recognize that it's the border of Imladris, where the Elves where the Elves wield significant power. But then Arwen taunts them, luring them into crossing the river so that she can use her Elven magic to summon the waters that (temporarily, anyway) unhorse and wash away the servants of Sauron.
Very nice pickup on the Nine of the Fellowship and the Nine, the Nazgûl. In the book Elrond makes nearly the same remark you did.
There is a Lord of the Rings that was made in Russia in 1991. After you are done with this series, I think it would be fun to watch your reaction to the Russian Lord of the Rings.
I also recommend Goblin's parody version. Though that one's not really fitting for a reaction, as few people would understand the Russian voice-over or even humour.
Gandalf is actually not a human. He's a higher being, a Maiar, who helped create the world, and he was sent to Middle Earth to help the men win against Sauron. He took the form of a wise old man because it's easier for the ones around him to look up to him and trust him.
Wow I had no idea. Neet
Arwen can control the Bruinen (the river) because it's on the borders of Rivendell, and probably where elf magic is most powerful. In the books, the elves make it rise, to keep sweep away the riders, and Gandalf adds the white horses just as a finishing touch.
Arwen can’t control it. But Elrond can, using his ring of power which is the ring of water.
5:52 "OK well he nailed it"
he sailed it!
The stuff she picks up on... So perceptive and sharp!
There's a little detail that people tend to misinterpret: When the Nazgul leans over the Hobbits on the road, the bugs are not there to be gross, they are trying to get away from the horrible, unnatural ring wraith, which has an aura of fear and cold.
Tolkien invented languages for fun and later created a story, civilizations, characters to go with those. You heard SIndarin at the beginning, the noble language of Elves. There is cousin language called Quenya, more simple and spoken by other peoples in the universe. The language was pretty complete by Tolkien himself, and you can actually learn it if you want, there is a treaty on it so you can learn about its grammar, its vocabulary, and most importantly, pronunciation, based on Germanic and Nordic languages such as old Finnish and Gaelic.
New Zealand was the ideal place to film Lord of the Rings since it has one of the greatest variety of landscapes in so small a space... And also Peter Jackson being a New Zealander himself, he wanted to bring some revenue for his country as well.
The Ring is like a numbing drug, it is very addictive.
Contrary to cletic myths, Tolkien wanted his Elves to embody the perfect humanoid being, civilized, magical and beautiful. They live for ever, unless they are gravely injured of killed.
Of course, Saruman's actir looks familiar... Count Dooku from Star Wars prequels.
You could activate subtitles to see the Elvish lines translated...
The Beren and Luthien poem was the first thing Tokien wrote to honor his love for his future wife. (he was studying with a priest, he didn't have the permission to go outside to visit anyone at the time). Writing it in a made up language insîred him to write and invent more about those people and given some years, a story came about it, especially at the demand of his children...
Hobbits may not have big ambitions but they can still be jerks to eachother... especially where money and social position is involved...
Looking forward to part two ... congratulations on 20K subs Dasha, extremely well deserved ☺
The army Saruman is making for Sauron is using a type of creature called an Uruk-Hai. They are stronger and bigger than Orcs.
Orcs are twisted, tortured Elves that are almost the opposite of Elves. They cannot stand daylight, so Saruman created these Uruk Hai to be able to fight when and where Orcs can’t.
How come then the Orcs fought at Minas Tirith and also the battle at the Gates of Mordor?? It was not during the night
@@TheAleksandros
Daylight savings
@@sean---the-other-one + warg orcs in the two towers that fought the rohirrim. Yeaaah, orcs hate daylight soo much.. it may have been so in the books but doesn't look like it in the movies
@@TheAleksandros because of the thick cloud cover. The movies didn’t show it correctly.
Wow... you picked up on literally everything the second you saw it. Very impressive. Enjoyable to watch someone who gets it so much.
Ur reactions to this awesome story are just so adorable to watch, and the best story ever written I think, I fell in love with lord of the rings as a young boy and it still has a special place in my heart :)
Love the books, the movies, and the soundtrack.
Tolkien served in WW1, in the trenches. If you look for it you can see parallels to that experience, especially in the characters that lend their shoulders in support and the drive to not just *fight the war* but to finish the objective at all costs. To stand against overwhelming terror without falter.
There is a biographic movie about him called "Tolkien". Its a beautiful and underrated movie that sets his works and universe in a whole new light.
@@Komix777 I thought it was a beautiful and underrated piece of work. And the writers not paying the due amount of attention to his religious views is not a pivotal point of quality.
I strongly recommend continuing with the extended editions. Especially for Return of the King
By the way, you won’t see any dragons in this trilogy. There’s some creatures that look like dragons but they’re called fell beasts
They really are smoking tobacco. It used to be referred to as pipe weed.
Filmed in New Zealand
Saruman was played by Christopher Lee, who played Count Dooku in Star Wars
Yes, the moth contacted the eagle
Was there no translation for Aragorn and Arwen’s conversation? There should’ve been. I hate when translations are reliant on having subtitles on
Dwarves and Elves have bad history
I am pretty sure she is already watching the extended editions.
Yeah, that wood-elves walking scene isn't in the theatrical cut, so she's definitely already watching the extended editions. Plus, she said it was almost 4 hours, which the theatrical cut of Fellowship is definitely not near that.
@@peterlewis2178 the theatrical cut is 3h, the extended edition is 3h20.
@@ghyslainabel So, yeah, even the extended isn't close to four hours (I didn't think it was), but considering she said 4 hours, it's actually clearer that it's not the theatrical cut, since there's pretty much no way you'd say it's almost 4 hours if it's slightly under 3.
It's extended
I saw Dominic Monaghan (Merry Brandybuck) while I was getting a hair cut. He was getting his hair highlighted for the TV series "LOST"
“His face looks familiar…”
That’s Christopher Lee, who you saw as Count Dooku.
You’ve seen Elrond the Elf also. It’s Red Skull in Captain America.
The reason Saruman looks familiar is because he's Count Dooku from Star Wars
Bilbo dropping the ring was quite impressive.
I absolutely love how insightful you are with movies. :)
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli might be the greatest trio of awesome badass fighters in cinematic history. You will see....
I'm a new subscriber and so happy to see you reacting to these films! These are some of my favorite films of all time; very impactful on my youth, and impactful in different ways now that I'm older. I'm glad that you seem to be enjoying the story so far, and getting really invested too! Looking forward to watching the rest of your reactions to this trilogy. ^_^
The best reaction I've seen. You have great intuition!
Lets gooo miss Dasha! About time you got around to these! Soooo geewwdd
I TOTALLY ENJOYED your reaction Dasha!!!👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖
I like your musik or film reactions! I think you did them very good and i always enjoy them! It was filmed in New Zealand. This country is very beautiful with many different places to film, perfekt for this (sort of) movies. The language you hear in the beginning was elbish. J.R.R.Tolkien was an absolute genius! He create a whole universe with elves, orks, humans, dragons, dwarfs, ..., every single one with their own language, their own history, their own look and so on! At this time without any help from computers, he wrote everything with hand, he drew a lot of sketches, designed the appearance of the different races and so on! Can't wait for part 2 and 3!
Dasha when you put up your hand to show your ring. That's VIXEN DASHA. She comes out whenever there is love or diva action to be found. She a great complement to kind Dasha. I think Vixen Dasha will fit in nicely in the channel. Let see her more and more.
Welcome to this bit of lore. As I understand, hobits typically have a lifespan close to that of normal humans.
A bit longer. Frodo if I remember correctly is in his mid to late 30s, but the equivalent of a human teenager. So a 15 year difference in lifespan, maybe?
@@jeremyfrost2636 possibly, I wouldn't put it any longer than that though. Bilbo's age of 111 (due to bearing the ring, of course) is certainly seen as atypical. Also, I wouldn't count on any "coming of age" tradition as a biological measure, as that is usually a cultural thing. I think the average max for hobbits seems to be around 100 years, give or take, not common but seen as attainable. Then again, maybe I'm talkin' a load of shit.
@@TC_Smitty Could also be that I'm talking a load of shit. Been a couple years since the last reread. For all I know your first comment was right, but I thought I remembered differently.
@@jeremyfrost2636 one more thing, I don't know how old Frodo is supposed to be in the movies. If I recall, he's much younger (mid 20s?). Which makes sense for modern sensibilities. Not sure how successful it would have been with a 50 year old Frodo running around doing all that stuff. They may have said at some point, either in-movie or in speaking of the movie on the production side of things.
@@jeremyfrost2636 same, it's been a good few years for me as well.
I don't watch many reactions of movies, but I very much enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece. You're inciteful and obviously have knowledge of ancient lore. Furthermore, your English is smooth and eloquent along with the slight accent.
I was wondering if you’d recognize Elrond as Red Skull from Captain America
What a wonderful reaction. You are very insightful
Bilbo scares the crap out of me even today, that jumpscare creeps me out 🤣
The film was done in New Zealand. If the TRUE MADDNESS in Canada (and the WORLD) ever ceases. I hope you can visit there. They preserved The Shire set and you can tour it. This was a Masterpiece movie interpretation and brought Light in the early 2000's when we really needed it. I'm thankful for your reactions to this first part as it brings a little light to the Dark Times that have been 2020 and 2021... The books are not always easy to read...but put them on your bucket list. So much of the story is enriching and beautiful. Even a befuddled 53 year man never got past The Two Towers (first suggestion if you ever read it is...skip the poetry). Looking forward to your next video (and I wonder if you're watching the Extended Version (the best) or the Theatrical one..? Good luck on your journey.
Really enjoying your reactions!
I have never seen any Lord of the Rings movies and I'm in New Zealand 😃 I love your channel God bless keep your heart pure 🙂
After you finish the Lord Of The Rings trilogy - and the Hobbit prequel trilogy - you should add Hidalgo to your list of movies to watch.
It stars Viggo Mortenson (who plays Aragorn in LOTR) in an adventure centered around a cross-country horse race with the horse Hidalgo, a wild Mustang.
Amazing reaction. Loved it. I can speak a different language, an Asian language, so I know how hard it is to learn English. But I don't think I could react to this movie in my second language! I'm not good enough! You speak English fluently, your vocabulary is amazing, you are really amazing! I will subscribe and follow you!
Glad you're doing these. Everyone should have some passing familiarity with either the movies or books
The language at the start was Elvish, a language Tolkien invented for his elves to speak.
The main filming locations were all in New Zealand.
And you know that Saruman is a bad guy because he's played by Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee usually played the bad guy in films! (I think he did want to play Gandalf, but he was too old and frail for the action scenes the role would have involved)
They even made a Lord of the Rings movie in Russia because it took so long for the book to be unrestricted by the government. The film was very low budget and thankfully you can see the better one.
The author of the books JRR Tolkien was a soldier in the trenches of World War 1 and was writing this world and these books before during and after the war and they are heavily inspired by his experience with war and the impact it had on him. The idea of a mythical old world dying and fading out to be replaced by industrialized militarized evil. Ideas of hope and camaraderie in the face of overwhelming darkness. Theres a ton of other ideas and imagery from his experiences... one that sticks out to me is the swamp in the 2nd movie which is probably nearly identical to things he saw fighting in the battle of the Somme.
Hey Dasha I think you are fair and beautiful enough to be an Elf. A beautiful warrior princess, light on her feet and full of love and passion.
Yeah saying out loud, I think you would fit in with the Elves quite perfectly.
Arwen is one of the big changes Peter Jackson made. It is actually the horse, Asfaloth, that saves Frodo and gets him to Rivendell after he was stabbed by the Nazgûl.
5:57 Her sudden change in expression. lol
I love how you picked up on stuff that appeared in the film. You figured out little important things that most people doing reactions look over. Tolkien was more than fantasy. Good job, sharp mind.
The fellowship w who plays Saruman seems familiar because he played Count Dooku in Star Wars. His name is Christopher Lee.
So it begins.....
One of the best trilogies ever!
Best part of the movie "What about second breakfast?"
*Appel hits him in the head and he thinks it fell from the sky*
gandalf was trapped on top of the tower for two months !, also the time between bilbos birthday party and frodo leaving the shire was 17 years !
A round of applause for watching the extended editions. Really long, but really worth it
I've been waiting for this reaction!
You ask how old Elrond is; at the time that Frodo meets him, he is about 6,500 years old. Elves live for a _long_ time, he is far from the oldest that we meet; Galadriel is around 20,000 years old and is literally older than the sun and moon.
You're a very astute observer! Great reaction.
One of the reasons that he came up with these stories was that England really didn't have any native tales of mythology, certainly not of the grandeur of the Greek, Roman and German mythos. He actually began his work before World War I, and actually wrote some of it from the trenches in France. If you do decide to read the books (and of course, you will be able to find them in your native language, if you prefer,) I would suggest reading "The Hobbit" first, which will introduce you to Tolkein's world and the some of the characters. The Hobbit was written as a children's tale, but "The Lord of the Rings," was written for adults. I know you said that you are not really fascinated by fantasy, but most fantasy books, games and movies all share ideas from Tolkein's tales. Here, you're going to "The Source."
22:27 When you're ready to go but decides to take a small nap.
LOTR was written more like 75 years ago. He did begin work on what became the languages and worldbuilding of LOTR over 100 years ago though.
I am not someone who gives many compliments. I have a few times. I have to say, and I don't know how, without offending you or others. So I will just it. Miss Dasha, there is something beautiful when you cry.
Miss Dasha, you are one beautiful creation.
The river around Imladris is under the control of the elves.
