I would suggest The Hobbit (1977). It takes place before the LOTR Trilogy.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Watch these Comedies: (Real Movie) The Ringer, Date Night, CZcams Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy, CZcams Jo Koy : Don't Make Him Angry, Starring Chris Evans Cellular
The version is extended. My subscription is expected.
@@MrGaleanon I understand. I do plan on making everything on my Patreon free and keeping it that way. So, hopefully there will be something else you enjoy that you can watch-along with in the future that doesn’t require a subscription.
Sauron put most of his own spirit and power into the ruling ring.
You are never late to watch this trilogy. Nor are you early. You’re watching it as precisely when you means to.
😉!!!
You said it right Gandalf!
Can you blow me a smoke ship next?
@@marquisdesade3025 You can get a smoke kiss.

I'm actually impressed that you noticed the ring did not bounce when Bilbo let go of it as if it was a heavy weight that just dropped, most people (myself included) didn't catch that the first time. They actually used a magnet that was built under the wooden floors to make that effect.
Did you notice that Bilbo came up with 'He lived happily for the rest of his days' ending as soon as he let go of the Ring?
@@robmartin525 I always liked that detail. I also feel like there is a change in body language from Bilbo when he let's go of the ring. He finally felt free almost.
Yes, I noticed it. I thought it was very sweet. Although I cut it, I said "after carrying the ring for so long, he deserves a rest."
I also heard they used a replica ring which was about 10 to 1 scale which had been made by mistake , could have been both.
They used the large ring for when Boromir picks it up in perspective on the mountain, that might be what you're remembering.
"He created his own languages for this didn't he."
Its crazier than that. Language was his passion growing up. He was a professor of philology and he crafted his own languages for their own sake. For the joy of making them. He created this world to ground his languages in, to try to give them some of the cultural idiosyncracies and irregularities that natural real world languages have.,
He wrote The Hobbiit and that was successful and then publishers started pushing him for a sequel and he ended up creating an epic and tying that back into The Hobbit. Basically the opposite of how I imagine most writers do things.
In the opening sequence, when Isildur puts on the ring, people usually say: "Oh wow, he's gone invisible!"
But you said: "Wait, so did he abandon his men?"
Hats off to you M'Lady!
Great reaction. Lots of Love from the UK 💜 -x-
Thank you and thanks for watching!
He was already running off to the mountains to be gollum 1, didn't last long though. 🎯
This is one example of why the theatrical cut is superior for a first time watcher. Showing the invisibility power of the Ring this early in the story kinda ruined the surprise of Bilbo’s disappearing act in his birthday party. You are not as surprised as the hobbit partygoers because you knew exactly what will happen when Bilbo puts on the ring. IMHO, theatrical version should be watched first by first time watchers then they can watch the extended version when they liked it a lot. (And that was how the OG viewers viewed it back then) 😊
fun fact! Tolkien didn't exactly create Elvish speak "for the Lord of the Rings". He made a whole language, and then thought "This should have a story to go with it" and THEN wrote Lord of the Rings. I love that fact about him
I’ve seen quite a few reactions to this, but nobody has shown the plot awareness you have… great to see such clarity and intelligence in a reactor. I think Pippin would say “ you need someone of intelligence on this sort of mission…quest…thing !” Can’t wait for Part 2 !!!
Thanks so much!
@@kahlareactsI totally agree with the above statement. Your reaction is one of the absolute best LOTR reactions I’ve seen 🌟 and I’ve watched (too?) many of them. Thank you for your most intelligent and pleasant commentary. 👏👏 And you have so much to look forward to with the next two films!
My favorite little touch during the council meeting is that NO ONE NOTICED THREE EXTRA HOBBITS LISTENING IN. You can see that Elrond's completely startled at their appearance. Elves are able to see and hear extremely well, and none of them picked up on the Hobbits.
The hobbits are like mice, I have the same problem and I also have the ears of an elf..🐰
The soundtrack for lotr is stunning in every way. Also fun fact, a lot of those sets (like Rivendell) aren’t all CGI! They’re huge miniature sets and that’s part of why they’re so beautiful and detailed and real
Oh, that’s so cool!
One of the last major films to do so, other than Chris Nolan's work.
@@kahlareactsThey called them bigatures behind the scenes. 😀
Created by the Alan Lee and John Howe, with the help of weta workshop
I wanted to comment this as well :)
The people working in the weta workshop were (still are) my biggest heroes and idols growing up!
After all these years, this is still one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. A lot of the sets were actually practical effects, like miniature models and clever character angles to force perspective instead of just using green screen! The DVD extras were always so fun to watch, because you could really see the insane amount of love and craftsmanship put into these films. 🧡
They accomplished the difference in height between hobbits and men completely with practical effects, forced perspective, no CGI was used. It looks so much better than modern CGI. When Gandalf and Frodo are sitting facing each other in Bag End talking, Frodo is actually several feet further from the camera than Gandalf. Each of the hobbits had a body double that was a person of short stature. They built two copies at different scale of Bilbo's house, Bag End, and all the hundreds of props inside.
And anybody who’s seen Indiana Jones knows how tall John Rhyse Davies really is.
I actually really love that. As a theatre nerd, I'm a sucker for good practical effects.
At 25:00 Strider says, "He's been stabbed by a Morgul blade." In the book, It is described as being notched, with the point broken off. Gandalf later explains, "They tried to pierce your heart with a Morgul-knife which remains in the wound. If they had succeeded, you would have become like they are, only weaker and under their command.You would have become a wraith under the dominion of the Dark Lord; and he would have tormented you for trying to keep the Ring, if any greater torment were possible than being robbed of it and seeing it on his hand."
Oh, wow! So, it would've been even worse than I imagined.
They don’t speak of it in the movie, but Gandalf was marveling in the books at Hobbits natural resilience to evil because Frodo carried the poison for almost two weeks, whereas a strong man would have succumbed within an hour.
The life expectancy of hobbits is around 90-100 years old. But Bilbo, looks quite younger (around 70, having 111). And of course, as you realized, because of the ring. I´ve seen many reactions but I´m impressed with you. So clever, perceptive and intuitive. I will follow you in all this journey!
“You gotta be evil to think up something like that.”
Hey, are you saying J R R Tolkien was evil? 😄
To be fair, while I do believe he landed very much on the side of good himself, he was perhaps eyebrow-raisingly good at bringing voice to evil. He lived through both World Wars, and had even been in combat during his service in WW1 (and lost many great friends in the war); and though he wasn’t active in WW2, it was always looming at England’s doorstep, so he was quite up close and personally familiar with what horror and evil sounds like.
@@Makkaru112 Right, and I didn't intend that to mean anything about it was allegorical. Rather I was just pointing out that he had such experience to draw from in his life. Such experiences can certainly inspire, and be applied to shape settings, characters, or stories while not being allegorical.
You're such an intelligent and perceptive reactor. Many others are so busy loudly asking questions, they miss many of the most beautifully written descriptions in the film. You notice small important details. Thank you!! Well done!
Peter Jackson knew how important this story was and took great care to ensure that it was told properly. There were many years the family did not want the story to be tainted by lousy filmwork, so he took extra precautions to make it as believable as possible. One of the ways was that all of the Orcs, Goblins, and any other evil creature had its own look. Very detailed. These films won 17 Academy Awards for its excellence
The Lord of the Rings is easily one of the best movie trilogies and one of the best fantasy series. It's so good. I'm glad you did the extended editions. I can't wait for the rest.
10:20 - THANK YOU! For noticing the weight given the Ring when it hit the ground with a thud and did not bounce.That was a relatively small but still very important indicator of the Ring's power and potency and I don't recall any other CZcamsrs catching that (or, at least, pointing it out in their edited videos).
You asked how long hobbits live. Bilbo is 111 at his birthday party, very respectable. The Old Took, an ancestor of his on his mother’s side, held the record at 130. Hobbits aren’t considered adults until the age of 33.
So, he’s considered old, but not insanely old by hobbit standards.
@@kahlareactsHe is old but what is strange is that he looks much younger than his years. He has hardly aged at all since he got the ring.
Why do u so lie with such confidence? I assume you know why Bilbo is old?
@@spoonzor1 I didn’t say I didn’t know why Bilbo was old. I was wondering if the ring made him live to a point that was considered exceptionally old for hobbits. I mean 111 would be considered very old for humans so I didn’t know if hobbits were the same.
@@kahlareacts yeah, my bad I actually figured that out when i watched your reaction. cant wait for the rest!
"I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Fun Fact: Despite playing a dwarf, John Rhys-Davies is the tallest of the actors who play members of the Fellowship. He is 6' 1" in height.
Thud Landing Fact: According to Sean Astin in the Extended DVD commentary, when Bilbo (Ian Holm) drops the Ring before leaving Hobbiton, the floor was magnetic to prevent the Ring from bouncing. This was done to demonstrate the importance and weight of the Ring.
Stay In Character Fact: Gandalf's painful encounter with a ceiling beam in Bilbo's (Ian Holm) hobbit-hole was not in the script. Sir Ian McKellen banged his forehead against the beam accidentally. Sir Peter Jackson thought McKellen did a great job "acting through" the mistake, and kept it in.
Makkaru112 ...Much appreciated for your reply. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter!
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
It was an extremely decent, warm and sincere reaction. I've watched hundreds of reactions to this trilogy so far, and this one is undoubtedly in the top three. I'm looking forward to your reaction to the next movie in the series. I would also like to thank you for your free full reaction courtesy.
Wow, thank you!
Hi. I would really appreciate you naming the two others!
At 6:27 you ask, "Who is she? What does she want?" She is Lobelia Sackville-Baggins--she and her husband Otho were Bilbo's closest living relatives, and since Bilbo was a bachelor, they would have inherited Bag End, Bilbo's Hobbit-hole, until Bilbo adopted Frodo as his legitimate heir 12 years previously. When Bilbo says of Frodo, "He's a Baggins, not some blockheaded Bracegirdle from Hardbottle," Bilbo was presumably thinking of Lobelia, nee Bracegirdle, of Hardbottle.
@@Makkaru112the book said that Bungo Baggins had refurbished and remodeled Bag End, mostly using his wife (Belladonna Took)’s money. It does not say that it was an original dig by Bungo personally.
@@Makkaru112 the point is that saying this Bilbo expreses his hope that with the adoption of Frodo there will be multiple generations of Baggins family under Bag end hill :)
I really appreciate how engaged you are. I can tell you have practice with active listening, but you also seem to have a very fast "processing speed" when it comes to making connections and forming theories. Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate that.
The score to this film is just on another level. Every part of this Trilogy somehow hit the target perfectly... Casting, Writing, Direction, Sets, Costume, Acting, Score... it's a one-in-a-lifetime result.
You are one of the few reactors that notices the peculiar way the ring hits the floor and its symbolism. Bravo!!
The way you said This ring is its own being. Thats spot on!
The Ring drop was a clever trick.
They made a ring out of steel, and had a strong magnet under the tile.
One thing that is sort of implied in the books (or at least it felt like it was when I read them) Was that The White Wizard was not truely loyal to Sauron, but intended to Survive by siding with him and (presumably) betray him, which is... not a good idea, but more morally corrupt than Evil.
They actually used far less CGI in this trilogy than would be used just a decade-ish later in the Hobbit trilogy. They used a lot of matte paintings for backgrounds beyond what they built for sets, and made a lot of scale models of stuff like stone buildings and statues out of very well lit and painted styrofoam.
Far out I'm 10 minutes in this reaction and you're already impressing me with how much of the subtle details you have picked up on. Brilliant reaction.
I dunno if this has been mentioned, but the adaptation kinda did Isildur dirty. In Tolkien's writings he had a much more complicated relationship with the ring, eventually realizing that he could never command it and that it would eventually gain control over him. It was on a journey to undo his mistake and destroy it that he was ambushed on the road.
The conflict at the ford is definitely a bit different in the movie than it was in the book, but this was mostly because Jackson and company wanted to bump up Arewen's role in things so that you felt the romance between her and Aragorn more. She's essentially a background character in the books without any lines. In the book, the one who comes across them in the woods is an elf named Glorfindel, who has a really fascinating history and is one of the most powerful elves in all of Middle Earth. However, he is NOT the one who causes the ford to rise up against the Ring Wraiths. That is done by Elrond himself, who possesses one of the three elven rings (Vilya, the ring of Air, and the strongest of the three rings), which appears to be at least partially how he was able to accomplish such a great feat of magic. Glorfindel, however, is the one who keeps the Wraiths from leaving the ford and escaping the water. He did not carry Frodo across the ford, though. That was done by Frodo alone, and he has a great moment when, despite his injury and exhaustion, he manages to muster up enough strength to defy the Wraiths from the Rivendell side of the ford, telling them they shall have neither the ring nor him. So, lots of changes here, but they are understandable. Given what a great, strong, frankly incredible character Strider is, they wanted to give him a love interest who seemed truly suited to him, I think.
Saruman, by the way, is an absolutely awful creature in the movies, and yet somehow, someway, he's actually even WORSE in the books. His pettiness and selfishness are more evident. Here he's mostly driven by fear, and casts his lot with what he thinks is the winning side, becoming a puppet in the process. In the books he's more interested in power of his own, and is playing both sides in an effort to come out on top. A lot of his motivation is jealousy and pride, though fear does play into it as well.
I LOVE the hobbits busting in and Sam ready to throw hands on Strider! 😂😂😂
😂
it's impossible not to get emotional when watching these movies, if it's not the music it's the connection between the characters thanks to the actor's performances
I love how the fellowship has so many members willing to help take the ring into Mordor (enemy territory). Gimli standing up and pledging to go with Frodo always makes me think of Bilbo and gimli's father gloin. I feel like Gimli was very much willing to help out a hobbit...especially one that was related to one that helped out his family/clan.
These are probably the best fantasy trilogies ever made hands down. I saw them in the theater back then.... incredible.
The.music, I agree..it goes right into my heart... I start to feel again .... freaking gorgeous and magical.
One other fantasy movie I would recommend is the 1982 dark fantasy movie The Dark Crystal, if that's OKay? It's directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, who made Sesame Street and The Muppets. It's about a creature called a Gelfling named Jen who's on a quest to restore balance to his world and overthrow the evil Skeksis by restoring a powerful broken crystal they lord over. It's another of the best fantasy movies, and the cool thing about it is that all the creatures and characters are all puppets and practical effects. There are no humans at all. I think it's a good time and definitely worth watching.
@@Makkaru112 Honestly I haven't seen that one in a while
"I want to understand the lore of this seemingly beautiful world" Instant sub barely a minute in
Another fantastically entertaining reaction! I love seeing you be able to connect the dots from all the snippets you've seen before. Truly one of the great trilogies of all time (books and movies)! Can't wait to see the next one. A++++! Also, I see you created a patreon. I'm on the way!!
Thank you! And thanks for always being so active and commenting!
@@kahlareacts hey, I'm a fan! I look forward to seeing you every time.
Thank you so much for commenting on the details the creators put in to show the weight of the ring, you are one of only two people I’ve ever seen comment that it doesn’t even bounce. One of the best details in the first movie
I didn't read the books until after I found out about the movies. I was at a summer camp the year that the first movie came out. One of the counselors there was really cool and I kind of hit it off and we were talking about the movies and about a month after I got back from camp I got a package in the mail from him and he sent me the whole set of novels. I never spoke to him again I don't even remember his name. But he defined so many years of my life When he gave me the books to read right before the movies came out. I was absolutely obsessed with them. I thought it was amazing. And part of the reason why...just like you... is I thought the fact that he made up this entire universe including different languages was the coolest thing EVER.
Its crazy how fast you caught on to the ring. Subtle details. Mentioning it being its own being.
The actor who plays Saruman and Count Dooku was Christopher Lee, the only one of the cast to have met J.R.R. Tolkien, the writer of this whole thing when he was a young man
"They're gonna eat good" For now.
I love these movies, but there are two things I wished were closer to the books. The gap between Gandalf leaving the Shire and coming back was 17 years while he hunted for information about the ring. The farmer that told the wraith witch way to go in the books instead told him to get lost and chased him off with his dogs and then later helped Frodo on his journey out of the Shire.
Farmer Maggot raised the best mushrooms in the Shire, and a young Frodo had been wont to go scrumping (stealing food from fields as Merry and Pippin are shown doing in the movie) in Farmer Maggot’s mushroom patch. Mushrooms are basically catnip to hobbits, and scrumping is both legal and normalized in English tradition, so it was an obvious choice to set them scrumping in Farmer Maggot’s mushrooms. When they finally leave Farmer Maggot’s house, he gifts them a huge basket of mushrooms which Missus Maggot has put up for them.
Loving your reaction! ❤ I never read the books but I loved the movies and I love when people come write little books facts in the comments. I also love watching this trilogy annually. It's more now, because of reactions. 😂
You definitely have to check out the Soundtracks to all three movies! It's some of the most beautiful and haunting music that's ever recorded. I especially love The House of Healing by Liv Tyler, only in the extended version of the 3rd movie. Smeagol's song, which is the one during the credits of the 2nd movie, and Into The West. Sung by Anne Lennox and also the Oscar winner that year. ❤❤❤ But seriously, all the music is a must listen.
Your attention to detail and insight into the more subtle aspects were fantastic! I cant wait to see more!
The one thing wrong in the intro is that Sauron forged the 3 elven rings, the poem eludes to that but the Elves discovered Sauron's treachery in trying to corrupt the Dwarves and Men and Celebrimbor who helped Sauron forged the other 12 forged on his own the 3 Elven rings.
Two things lead to Sauruman changing sides. Gandalf had been given one of the Elven rings shortly after his arrival and Sauruman was furious that Gandalf the Grey his underling would be given this gift instead of him who is the head of the order. Sauruman was jealous of Gandalf for hundreds of years and wanted a Ring of Power for his own. His use of the Pilantir allowed Sauron to play on his jealousy of Gandalf to corrupt him against his mission.
Weta Workshop (I think started with LOTR, and based in New Zealand) created the miniatures and costumes and props. They have a website to buy some of these things along with other projects they’ve worked on, since LOTR! I’ve gotten maps and pipes and Bilbo’s contract (from The Hobbit), from Weta Workshop! They do excellent work!!
@20:31 No one notices or mentions how the Ring was positioning and guiding itself to go onto Frodo’s finger as it fell. The Ring wants to be found and it knew the quickest way to get the attention of the Nazgûl.
It's so exciting to see someone else experience this saga! Since your RotK video comes out today I thought I'd give these a watch. I love that you're appreciating the music already, all the recurring themes only get better from here :D Also shoutout to that 'oh nO' when the first wraith showed up because haaaard same
do you have any idea how many people i’ve seen watch this and pickup immediately that the way the Ring lands is significant? very few, its so refreshing to watch you and see how insightful you are with the story
oh funfact, the reason the spider and insects are in that scene and things get dead silent when the nazgul are on screen is trying to convey how the book describes how the nazgul have a supernatural aura of evil that instills terror in living things, the bugs are trying to *run*
25:59 “What is that?” That is an Uruk-hai, a hybrid of goblins (who dwell inside mountains), orcs (basically the same except they live on the surface), and humans (regular humans). Goblins and orcs are generally smaller than humans and are highly allergic to sunlight. By adding in the human DNA Saruman made a hybrid species (technically a genetic chimera) that could move in sunlight, cover great distance at speed, and obey him unthinkingly.
The book talked about orc fathers and human mothers, which implied struggle-snuggle. Peter Jackson didn’t want to depict this, so he had them be spawned out of pools of mud instead.
Great to see that it's the extended edition; then I'll probably give the reaction a watch. I would put it in the title and/or description too so that people who are interested know without checking the comment section or see if you say it in the video (which in this case luckily you did almost right away).
Make sure you watch the extended versions of the 2nd and 3rd movies, otherwise you miss a lot.
Just so you know, saruman is actually trying to doublecross sauron. He wants the ring for himself. He thinks he can control it. The little orcs around saruman are from mordor - sauron’s orcs sent to help saruman but also to spy on him. The big fighting orcs - the uruk hai - are loyal only to saruman. Orcs are like that. But its why saruman’s orders are a bit vague - to avoid sauron’s orcs knowing what saruman is doing. The movies dont make this bit of the story very clear. But notice that, while saruman knows where the fellowship is he never lets Sauron know.
"A Dragon covered by a tent..way to throw off the math, Merry. Do you have any idea how long it took with paper and pencil ,to get the altitude and speed settings to just the right balance for that ? That extra 30 pounds of canvas cloth was NOT in my calculations". Gandalf.
The best part of reaction videos is reliving our own experience of that first time. and you gave us an excellent reaction!
Brilliant stuff! (was waiting for pt 2 to drop to watch both together)
the only movie I've ever seen a tent flying in the sky! and yes, the music is just wonderful!
I'm sure some people have said it already, but Tolkien didn't create his own languages for the books... he created the books for his languages! He was a lifelong linguist and philologist, and had been writing and creating his own languages for what he called his Secondary World since arguably his time in the trenches of WW1, though he'd absolutely been crafting languages since he was a child.
His creative process would often revolve around a word, or a name that he would invent and then imagine how the history of that name either came to be, or would change over time. For example, the great city of Minas Tirith which you saw briefly where Gandalf read about Isildur finding the Ring of Power, is an Elven name. It means Tower of the Guard, and it was actually renamed from Minas Anor, which meant Tower of the Sun, when it became the seat of power in Gondor.
It was called that because it quite literally became a Guard post against the threat of its twin tower Minas Morgul after it was captured by Mordor. Minas Morgul means Tower of Sorcery, and it was originally called Minas Ithil. Minas Ithil means Tower of the Moon. All of these name changes are the result of the historicity of names and words in Tolkien's mind.
The Tower of the Moon became the Tower of Sorcery after it was taken by Mordor and given to the Nazgul, and the Tower of the Sun became the Tower of the Guard to defend against that threat. Both are then translated into Elven names because of Gondor's long history and kinship with the Elves which is its *own* long story.
Have I mentioned that I love your extremely perceptive commentary? There are times I've had to stop watching some reactions because the reactors were missing incredibly obvious stuff, but you pick up even the little details!
That was a great reaction! Really good edit and commentary. Looking forward to the next parts 👍
Loved how you laughed at Sam's "I ain't been dropping no eves, sir" when he was caught eavesdropping :D So many miss that, or don't find it funny. I'm stupidly delighted at little word-play things like that. And noting how heavy the ring is, and how it's already affecting Frodo. And yeah, the music is amazing - the whole trilogy! I wish I could go back and see it again for the first time.
You’re absolutely right, the one ring is in a way a being. It’s Sauron Fear (soul), meaning it’s sentient, and it’s ultimate goal is to get back to daddy Sauron. It’s also capable of slightly increasing its size or shrinking, that’s why it slipped off Isildurs finger in the Anduin river
The scream sqeal from settling off the dragon firework was a real reaction so they kept it in.
Also grats on pushing 5k subs! What a milestone… I’m riding so let’s go 🎉
Always fun watching the greatest movies of all time with an intelligent, observant and nice person ✌️
I agree with you about the music.
I listened to this soundtrack all the time before and after the movie came out. XD Great reaction. 💙
Oh, I love your reaction to this movie! You're aware of what's going on. I can see you're really enjoying it. I can't wait to watch your reaction to the other two movies
34:24 Dwarves have reasons not to trust elves. At their first meeting the high elves thought that the dwarves were wild creatures and hunted them for sport.
But the dwarves are also partly to blame, once when they were already more diplomatic with the elves, they commissioned the dwarves to make a necklace with a legendary gem and they promised to pay any price, and upon seeing the beauty of their work the dwarves They asked for the necklace as payment, which led to a massacre of elves for the necklace XD
I have a movie suggestion for you since you mentioned that you love alliteration. V for Vendetta. (It also features Hugo Weaving who plays Elrond in Lord of the RIngs).
It has a scene with heavy alliteration which I think you'd enjoy very much. ^_^
Thank you for such a good reaction! It was so good to watch your video!
In the book, Bilbo and Frodo share the same birthday - September 22. When Bilbo turns 111, Frodo turns 33, which is the age of adulthood for Hobbits.
Also, Bilbo is the first person to willingly give up the Ring (though he had help from Gandalf), which tells a lot about his character. It's probably why Gandalf felt safer about leaving it with Frodo.
"Did he abandoned his men?" Actualy yes, Isildur and his army were caught in a trap on the banks of the Gladden river and so Isildur tried to escape by invisibility of the Ring. That battle - from year 2d of the 3d Age - was called catastrophy or Battle on the Gladden Fields, as most of Isildur's army perished there. Gladden Fields were big marshes between two rivers - Gladden river and Anduin river. Gladden is a tributary of bigger river Anduin. On the marshes there grow reeds, and huge yellow irises. Gladden fields means fields of irises. I think it should be water irises as most of kinds of irises prefer dry areas, not marshes. :) There are so called Germanic irises - prefering dry soil and lots of sun, and water irises prefering areas above rivers and lakes and marshes :) Or home ponds :)
10:14 Production note; there were magnets under the floor to keep the ring from bouncing.
Nice one, Kahla! A very good start indeed! I'm one of those folk who discovered the books when I was 12 or so back in the early 70's, and I've read them all including The Hobbit probably 20 times pver the past 50 years. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to watch these movies for the first time not knowing all the lore of Middle Earth to go with it, but I think you are doing a great job of piecing it together. I'm looking forward to following along with you for all the movies to come! Just so you know, the soundtracks to all three movies are available on cd and I'm sure for streaming too, if you decide you are interested. I recommend the extended complete versions! Thank you for sharing this reaction with us. I'm looking forward to your part 2. 🙂
It may seem strange, but Tolkien wrote the stories to show the history of the languages. The languages came first.
You pick up and notice SO much!! Really enjoyable reaction. Excited to watch more of your stuff
Count doku or Christopher lee, was a G.
The original writer of the James Bond. 007 books which became the movies. Was written by a man named Ian Fleming. A member of the mi6 himself.
And so was Christopher lee. And very handsome.
His cousin.
He based James Bond off of Christopher lee.
And Christopher lee wanted to play Gandalf but realized he was too old so he went with Saruman instead and asked his personal friend sir Ian to play Gandalf.
Also, set some Tolkien's poems to music.
I did think of a fantasy movie to watch when you're done with the Lord of the Rings movies. I don't know if you've seen it, but I would recommend the 1984 fantasy movie The Neverending Story directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver, Tami Stronach, and Alan Oppenheimer for its 40th anniversary, if that's OKay? It's about a boy who steals a book that tells of a young warrior who has to stop a dark force from destroying the fantasy world known as Fantasia. However, not all is as it seems with the book. It's one of the best fantasy movies ever and a huge testament to why practical effects creatures are the best. It's really fun and definitely worth a watch.
Might want to tell her the name in your post. I know what movie you're talking about but she won't. 😉
@@toodlescae Thanks for heads up. I thought I typed it out?
@@toodlescae Fixed now
@@JebWCManning No problem. It happens. Don't know how many times I've gone back a day later, looked at something I typed and wondered what the heck happened because it was a disjointed mess.
If you do watch The Neverending Story, bring tissues. No spoilers , just keep them handy.
Fantastic reaction Kahla; I just love listening to your melodious voice!
I think that it's good you'd already been haphazardly exposed to the trilogy... As a result, you are following the important threads of this complex&beautiful story really well!!! Thanx
Isildur took the Ring as weregild (reparations for his father’s death). No one saw him do it, and they honestly thought that all the power had gone out of the Ring with Sauron’s death. (They didn’t learn differently until later). The scene with Elrond in the volcano didn’t actually happen in the book.
great to see your reaction, Kahla... you spotted and commented on quite a few subtle things... looking forward to your next reactions of the trilogy... PS. Rivendell was not CGI, and so are neither most of the other places... they spent 2 years of shooting it all, and before that a whole year to prepare... creating all the costumes, building places (sometimes several models in different sizes)... they wanted to make it an as real world, as it gets. There's quite some 'The making of...' videos for it on youtube - worthwhile!! 😎
Glad to see you reacting to this! Welcome! Come on this amazing Journey with us!
Ahh here we go, the big one. I am very excited to see your reaction to this trilogy! 🤩
Hope you enjoy it!
Aragorn’s entrance is one of my favorite parts of this movie.
Fun fact: when Tolkien was writing the scene in the Prancing Pony, he would later say that when Strider showed up Tolkien had no more idea what he was doing there than Frodo had.
Of all the reviews of this film you are the 1st to spot and comment on the ring not bouncing when it fell. Well done, apparently they used a very strong magnet under the floor to make the ring stop on the first impact
Great reaction! Your empathetic and sensitive nature is going to make this a wonderful journey to watch. Don't worry, this 47 year old dude will be crying right along with you!
You’re such a kind soul. I loved your reaction oh and you’re really pretty. So please make more vids 😅
Your reaction grabbed another subscriber! Can't wait to see the rest of your journey.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. And I mean everyone
Finally the first person i ever see in a reaction to this movie, who notices the weight with which the ring lands instead of bouncing. ....MY GOD have i waited for anybody to ever notice that detail!
I saw the thumbnail to this video and I was like "OMG, does Brandy have a reaction channel? Brandy is watching LotR?"
I’m so glad Enya got to make large parts of the score. She was a big fan, she already had a hit single called “Lothlorien”.
As the resident Old Man, I must insist you read the books. The Hobbit first, is easy, then read The Lord of the Rings. It's only half a million words. The story, as written in the texts, is even greater. No need to thank me
Director Peter Jackson created a long list of appendices that show how the films were created. Hours of content. I also have the music score on my playlist.
Been waiting for these got to be one of the best trilogy’s ever 🎉
Most of those buildings are not CGI - Orthank, Shire, Rohan, Rivendell were real sets build in scale. the set of Rivendell was designed and sculpted from wood. In late 90s and early 2000 CGI was only something to add here an there as a polish lets say :) To make it seems older, or shinier, or darker, to create a fantasy feel of a place but most of sets are real sets build and sculpted for months of work. In some cases the sets were build only for few weeks of filming - it was the case of Edoras town in Rohan (in "The Two Towers") the building process of a wooden town including a king's hall with all those amazing detailed artwork in gold took half a year for only 3 weeks of filming :)
Hobbits have seven meals a day when they can get them. Pippin and Merry come from rich families, and have likely never missed a meal in their lives.
I love your reaction and look forward to continuing the journey with you.
The music is so fitting and great in this series!🤗
Tolkien did create many languages, many used in middle earth, at least 3 distinct elven languages, dwarvish, a couple Human ones and some other.
I don't know the exact number, but I want to say 23. (that might be the real ones he knew though, so don't quote me on that.)
just do yourself a favour and add the entire album to your playlist, the music is a masterpiece.
