Thank you for watching and see you soon - Zábava
Re-uploaded with both parts put together to close 2023 nicely 🥰
Had to clip the first minute of this reaction for copyright FYI
Listening back and hearing myself say “Galdolf” is embarrassing 😭
We forgive you
At least he's your favorite Including Sam Right Liala ❤🧙🏻♂️
One of my favorite books of all time. I read his book "The Silmarillion"' before any other. I've always been grateful for that. His story is dense with lore.
Ok, cool, I thought I was having a stroke, I knew u watched these already…and it’s ok, everyone gets *all* the names wrong at first, then by the end theyre experts, & its awesome to see…I watched a guy the other week who said “Gildorf”, lol…..everyone does it. The only ppl who don’t are the ppl who read the book first: )
You’re the best
In the book, Gimli would go on to say that Galadriel's gift would be "...set in imperishable crystal to be an heirloom of my house, and a pledge of good will between the Mountain and the Wood until the end of days." Love Gimli, the old grump.
@@Tom-Mac1975 THATS RIGHT! Literally blessing him against Dwarves biggest curse.
All the more resonant, given this line in The Silmarillion:
..her hair was held a marvel unmatched. It was golden like the hair of her father and of her foremother Indis, but richer and more radiant for its gold was touched by some memory of the starlike silver of her mother; and the Eldar said that the light of the Two Trees, Laurelin and Telperion, had been snared in her tresses. Many thought that this saying first gave to Fëanor the thought of imprisoning and blending the light of the Trees that later took shape in his hands as the Silmarils. For Fëanor beheld the hair of Galadriel with wonder and delight. He begged three times for a tress, but Galadriel would not give him even one hair.
@@Tom-Mac1975indeed creepy uncle Feanor (Galadrial's uncle that is)
There's a game released on the Epic Game store recently, "Return to Moria". you build and craft and fight your way from one end of Moria to the other to reclaim it for the Dwarves.
John rhys-davies reprises his role as Gimli and meets you in the end-game to congratulate you on your victory. Around the character's neck is a golden chain suspending a crystal vial, three golden hairs within.
@@kentonbaird1723 I love that so much, thank you for sharing. That really made my day
When Galadriel comments that Aragorn already has the gift of Arwen's love, in a sense it's also a gift from Galadriel - she's Arwen's grandmother.
So she basically gave Aragorn her blessing to tap that 🤣
Sounds better in Elvish
@@williamivey5296 Most things do
Sir Ian Holm and Sir Ian McKellen acting off eachother is such a joy to watch even if they only have a couple of minutes of screentime together. World class actors in a world class production. Thank you for reacting, it made for a good watch, all the best for 2024, may it be as magical as the Lord of the Rings.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen these movies and the death of Boromir always gets to me, every single time.
"Be at peace, Son of Gondor!"
“Don’t make me cry again.” Don’t worry. The other two movies will provide many more opportunities. 😊
Frodo's scream "NOOOOOOOOOOO" still gets me every time, even though I've watched this probably 25 times.
For me it's ISILDURRR!
I still use this all the time, calling after friends who're walking away from me 😅
25 times? Amateur lol j/k.
@@CorruptSnypah yup, just a rookie 🤣
That and his one tear.
@@DT-hp8deunderrated actor, don't really see him in much these days, besides Harry Potter of course
I love how Boromir says, "they took the little ones." .....gets me every time
My English teacher from Grade 3 read chapters from the Hobbit to us in Primary School. I read all the rest of the Lord of the Rings in High School because of him. I remember watching The Fellowship of the Ring and thinking to myself, "I hope you're watching this Mr. Vivian." 😊
The gift scene of gimli is exceptional because: galadriel was asked ages before by an famous elf the same lock of hair but unlike gimli he got nothing because he wanted it out of greed but galadriel saw through him and denied his request
He asked her 3 times and 3 times she saw his intentions werent pure.
So 3 times she refused.
Gimli only asked once, but because his heart and soul were so Pure, she gave 3 hairs to him as symbol of his purity.
When Legolas heard that, he grew fond of Gimli and realised they could become best of friends.
@@metalboy8934 after the destruction of the ring, gimli used dvafen technology to preserve her hair in crystal if I remember correctly
No one is late, nor are they early. They react to The Lord of The Rings precisely when they mean to. This is the greatest trilogy in history to me. So happy for you to begin this journey. I doubt you know about second breakfasts or elevensies but you will learn shortly. Be prepared to be heartbroken and warmed near equally and epically.
P.S.
You can still go to the Shire...it's still there ❤
She watched it months ago it's a re upload like it says in the description.
This trilogy is a monumental achievement, an utter triumph or writing, directing, acting, scoring...curious that " The Hobbit" trilogy should conversely be such a failure...
It's NOT a trilogy. It is one continuous journey. The only reason there are 3-books, is because the original publisher felt that the entire story was way to long, (9,250 pages) to be a sellable product, so they make Tolkien break the novel into 3-parts. Jackson followed suit as it would have been a 9-hour movie, so he made it into a 3-movie epic.
A lot of people only familiar with the Jackson films make this mistake, just like some people believe the novel, A Song of Ice & Fire is titled A Game of Thrones, only because of the show.
@@yvesandrethevenot3489 Because The Hobbit was only ever 1-book. It was never intended to be embellished so heavily that it needed 3-movies to tell. Making it one film, I believe would have resulted in a movie worthy of Tolkien.
After the shooting of the LOTR movies all the natural locations where restored to their original look including The Shire location but it had to be rebuilt for The Hobbit movies so the NZ government bought the land and kept the set in tact as a tourist attraction.
Filming was done for 2 and a half years straight for all 3 movies, Elijah Wood (Frodo) was 19 when he started and had 3 birthdays here in NZ.
Some say that the scenery is CGI, but the only parts that are CGI happen to be the big structures and statues.
Added note, when they show the entrance to the town of Bree, the person walking from left to right of the screen eating a carrot was the Director Peter Jackson, himself.
cooooooool story bro 😅
@@NormanLacombe Numerous documentaries on LOTR and The Hobbit, which show the scenery and behind the scenes.
I first read the books nearly 50 years ago, and multiple times since. I saw the movies when they came out 20+ years ago, and multiple times since. I've watched multiple reaction videos to the movies since that became a thing. Every time, especially when the person reacting to the movie gets as emotionally invested as you, the tears well up in a solid stream, particularly during the fall of Boromir.
Your story is my story except that I first read the books nearly 60 years ago,
r u like 70 now?
I read the books 80 years ago... wait a minute...
When my Dad and I saw the first movie, both of us were stoked because I practically grew up reading the stories. And it was special because of the father/son bonding over this film. But what made it so powerful was when my Dad, a Vietnam Vet and former police officer, who never once in my entire life i have ever seen cry shed tears when Boromir had his last stand. Quiet tears, just as I had tears. We didn't say anything about it afterwards. Some things don't need explanation between men. It's a memory I cherish to this day.
RIP Dad.🥲
I ALWAYS recommend watching the extended versions!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I took my late mom (she died of pneumonia in 2019) to see these films when i would visit her and she loved them especially after seeing a documentary on Tolkien creating the whole Middle Earth world.
don't worry about getting all your questions answered immediately, just let the story unfold naturally and at its own pace, you'll work the story out on your own.
Your comment at the end that there are so many powerful words in this story is so true! A lot of people dismiss fantasy because it's not real, but the philosophy that good stories like this bring to us is invaluable.
Thank you for a beautiful reaction! When I see someone cry at the moments that I cry, I know they are a good person! 🙂 You are beautiful inside and out! I look forward to your reaction to the other two movies. And, yuo don't have to wait an entire year to see each one!
Tolkien was just an exceptional writer, and incorporated so much into his stories, I think the idea of fantasy being dismissed is because of how fantasy after Tolkien was just a bunch of cheap imitations that didn't really have the depth or skill of Tolkien.
You need someone like Pratchet, Sanderson, Martin, Jordan etc to be able to write truly timeless works of art.
Anyone can write a book, but it takes exceptional talent, and effort to create something truly timeless and magical
8:00 "That's one way to bring down the spirit."
But what he said was very nice.
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like."
Translated, this means "I should like to get to know a bunch of you twice as much."
"And I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
Translated, this means "You all deserve to be well-liked but I haven't liked you as much as I should."
An even shorter translation might be "i should have made more effort to get to know and like you much more than I ever did because you're good people who deserve it."
Of course, he said it in a way that makes everyone have to solve a puzzle to figure out what he meant and pretty much none of them solved it in the few seconds he gave them.
That's the wonderful thing about art, is I always interpreted it as Bilbo being an old grumpy man saying I don't know half of you, and for the one's I do know I wish I didn't, and I like less than half of you, and even then that's more than I should like you
@@MasterIceyy Words can be art, like "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."
We're left to wonder exactly what Romeo, or Shakespeare, meant .Is Juliet bright? Is she beautiful? Is she blinding? Dazzling? Ultraviolet? Radioactive?
OK, some of those are silly, but Shakespeare didn't really explain it.
It's art, and we interpret.
But Bilbo's speech wasn't so much art as it is logic.
Like any logic puzzle, we can dissect it and understand it, usually by simplifying it to easier bits that are much more clear.
For example:
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like."
Let's simplify:
"I know you as well as I should like."
That meaning is clear: I like you exactly the right amount.
Add part of it back in:
"I know you half as well as I should like."
Now it means: I would like to know you twice as much as I do.
Add more:
"I know you half of you, half as well as I should like."
Now I am talking to a group and I want to know half of them twice as much as I do.
Finally, adding in "don't" just flips it to mean the other half, but we still want to like them twice as much as we do.
"And I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
Simplify:
"I like you less than you deserve."
Clearly this means you deserve to be liked more than I like you.
Put part of it back:
"I like you half as well as you deserve."
Now this means you deserve to be liked twice as much as I like you.
Add a little back in:
"I like half of you half as well as you deserve."
Again, talking to a group, half of them deserve to be liked twice as much as I do.
Add the rest:
"I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
This time, it means a smaller number than half of them deserved to be liked twice as much as I do.
Sometimes poets write art to be interpreted, sometimes they just write clever logic puzzles to be figured out.
@@blakewalker84120WOW, thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to write that all out for us! Similar to MasterIceyy, I actually always thought Bilbo was just being grumpy too and making a snide parting remark in line with his less than charitable viewpoint about most of the residents of the Shire that he shared earlier. I found it to be just something to chuckle at in the moment, but honestly, I kind of always hated that he was being rather unkind to all these folks who had gathered together in his honor. How nice to see that I had interpreted it incorrectly (tho I do feel that's likely the intention for the viewer to experience that, so we initially feel the same confusion the party goers do). Bilbo expressing some remorse for being a bit of a grouchy recluse for so many years - AND pretty much botching up the sentiment in the process lol - just adds so much more to this moment and to his character.
@@b00jen81 Thanks. Glad you liked the explanation.
I read this book 20 years before I saw the movie.
It's much easier to dismantle Bilbo's convoluted riddle when you see it in plain text and have the time to mull it over.
In the movie you get one one shot at hearing it then the movie moves on.
I guess that's why they call them "movies"... :)
I imagine it was like that for the hobbits, too: they got one chance to hear it then Bilbo moved on.
I think Peter Jackson's portrayal of their perplexity was spot on.
"This is Nenya."
"What does it do?"
"Nenya business."
It wasn't scripted that Gandalf would hit his head on the beam at Bag End's hallway, it was actually a mistake that Ian McKellen did, a blooper, but because McKellen stayed in character and the unexpected humor in the take, it got stuck in the film.
Same for the Gimlis beard in moria, I've heard. Because Rhys Davies had to be in makeup for hours to get the dwarven face prosthetics and beard attached, he was afraid Orlando Bloom would pull it off.
Outstanding new video, this was a great idea & a perfect way to wrap up 2023, much love Liala 😍 ❤
Thanks for your continued support this year 🥹☺️
@@LialaNaema You're ever so welcome 🤗
Watch the behind the scenes stuff and the feature length cast audio commentary. A lot of times the BTS stuff ruins the movie for rewatching, but not for LOTR. The entire cast and crew worked so hard and put so much detail into these movies that the BTS knowledge enhances the rewatching. Knowing that Orlando Bloom tried to show confusion as Legolas when dealing with Borimir's death because Elves don't deal with death as often as other races, that Liv Tyler (Arwen) was treated with the utmost respect by the mostly male cast when she was on set, that Dominic and Billy (Merry and Pippin) really were troublemakers, that Sean Bean hiked to locations high up because he didn't want to ride in a helicopter, that Viggo Mortensen carried his sword everywhere, even to restaurants after filming...just the tip of the iceberg on the fun details.
Great reaction!
I've loved these books for over 4 decades.
In many ways they've shaped my life.
It's always fun to see somebody new get excited for the magic of this story.
The 3 movies were made in 2000/01 and released every year from 2001. Any special effects you see are 20 plus years old. So little of Gollum is seen in Fellowship as the CG capability didn't exist when it was released, but by the second movie, Two Towers, the techical computer skills allowed the fantastic work of Andy Serkis as Gollum to be fully showcased.
It's lovely how quickly you became concerned for Gandalf, bless your big heart!
Ian McKellan marveled at how he'd been so happy with his career as a stage actor, etc, and now he is so much more famous due to Lord of the Rings and X-Men. He said he really didnt know how to handle it when all these kids approach him. He'd never had a fanbase of children and young people before. He did say it was great.
The "incident with the dragon" refers to The Hobbit book/films.
The 19 rings were originally made to bend the will of the world leaders to Sauron. The 9 kings of men succumbed. The dwarves, obsessed with shiny stuff and living underground anyway, counted them among their many trinkets and in the end they've been lost with some eaten by dragons. As soon as they realized Sauron's trickery, the elves used magic to hide the 3 elven rings and use their power for themselves. That last part is super oversimplified, but Ringcrafting was taught to Sauron by the elves, so it makes sense that they could go "Oh hell no, we're not doing this today."
I like how she calls the meal at Weathertop a "Full English Breakfast" because (even though as a Celt I disagree) one of the many reasons Tolkien cites writing the story is that he felt "A serious lack of Ancient English mythology" even though it doesn't even take place in our world.
In 1983 i met Sir Christopher Lee at Gleneagles Hotel while i was 16 and autograph hunting during a Pro/Celebrity golf tournament. We chatted for half an hour about golf, films and books. I told him i'd recently read LOTR . I still have the photo of us together alas the autograph is long gone now. Absolute legend.
Fun fact: Sean Connery was considered to play Gandalf
@@nsasupporter7557 I met him at Gleneagles Hotel too. He turned down LOTR saying he didn't understand the script. Shurely Shome Mishtake lol
@@johnbarrett4846 you met Sean Connery?? LUCKY!
@@nsasupporter7557 Sean in 1982 and Christopher Lee in 1983. The only famous actor who didn't sign my autograph book was George C Scott. Jack Lemmon signed his golf glove and gave it to me.
@@johnbarrett4846 NICE 😀
Jack Lemmon sounded like a great guy, so it was his and he just gave it to you, was that how it went down?
Galadriel pretty sure knew what it means to bear a ring of power, for the ring with the white gem she wore was one of the three rings of power that were given to the elves. Less powerful than the One ring, but nonetheless probably one of the most powerful magical items in Middle Earth - but it would be also be her downfall if Sauron regained the One ring, for that was specifically designed to control the other rings of power.
We know Lorien was deserted - Arwen goes there at the very end, and the loneliness is specified. Can probably assume without Galadriel and her ring time eventually reclaimed everything.
I think it's mentioned Rivendell remains somewhat occupied for the longest time after, along with the Havens. Ultimately all Elvish workings and people fade after the coronation, the Age of Man etc, as Gandalf tells Aragorn.
Gandolf is the grandfather we all wish we had, and also the one many of us needed .
I was so sure you'd seen these movies and thats why you didnt have it on the channel. Im so dang excited for you to watch them all. They will absolutely be unforgettable
And Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin:
(1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition
(2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition
(3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
You had the calmest reaction of anyone I've watched to Merry's tomfoolery lol
Haven't you watched these already feels like dejavu I might be wrong?
I’ve placed both parts together
I've waited over a year to watch your reaction to this film series! I'm so glad to be watching it now.
Yes, be prepared for many more years of sorrow and joy. This has been my overall favorite film series since the early 2000s. You're absolutely right to pivotal up on the theme of hope. It's a big one in this story. I look forward to your upcoming reactions to the next couple of movies!
an amazing and very genuinely heartfelt reaction...... you are in for a pretty emotional roller coaster of the other two movies, but I look forward to sharing the reactions with you!! enjoy!
35:30 "Always follow your nose" is an old-timer joke. Like, from the days before radios or cars.
When you're walking somewhere, you should look where you are going so you don't bump into things, fall off of things, trip over things, etc.
If you are looking in the same direction you're walking, your nose will be in the front of your face and the rest of your face will "follow your nose".
But if you're looking a different direction, you won't be following your nose (since it's pointed the wrong direction) which means you won't be looking at where you're going, so accidents might happen.
So "follow your nose" means the same thing as "look where you're going".
It's good advice, offered up as a silly bit of a joke.
Gandalf here was referencing that joke, but he actually smelled fresher air, so his nose was telling him where to go, so he had two meanings.
Wizards are clever like that.
Galadriel looks directly at Samwise(The Brave) when she says "Yet hope still lives..." and smiles.
First time I see a reactor saying "maybe he should say friend" you are incredible 🤣
Not many notice the weight of the ring dropping
Looking forward to your next reactions
You are going to be blown away by "The Two Towers"!!! My personal favorite of all 3 films
Her when they reach Rivendell: “I don’t feel like crying today.”
Me in Gollum’s voice: “Oh, you will. You…will…”
I absolutely love your reaction to this film!!! Very well done!!!
Great reaction! Enjoy this story, enjoy these movies. I look forward to watching the other two with ya. Cheers.
Great reaction and very appropriate. Anyone who tears up at Boromir’s redemption is right by me and gets an immediate subscription click!
I really love your reactions!!! Can't wait to see your reaction to the two towers! 😊😊
Your reaction was amazing. Lovely♥
I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are watching this trilogy, especially the extended edition! Believe me, hard to believe, but it only gets better!
been following you for a while and must say you are so POSH! love it
The most amazing journey ever captured on film!!
Thus reaction made me a subscriber🎉🎉 you’re amazing
Boromir went out a G. His death always gets me.
"I need a Gandalf in my life." I'll be your Huckleberry." LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist.
I love your voice. (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year)
Awesome reaction of my favorite The Lord Of The Rings movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you! I wanted to watch this when you first posted it a couple months ago but I couldn't figure out the two-part thingy..
6:38 - I've always loved the say he says that "today is my one-hundreth and-d-d-d-deleventh birthday!' 😆
Back in those days it was considered an honor to go into battle with the hair of a woman because it reminded you what you was fightin for 😊
Lord of the Rings is such a great trilogy. It gets better with each film with an epic conclusion. You're in for a treat with this one.
Off the top of my head there's a lot of cut content from the Shire portion of the movie, they didn't mention the trolls when Frodo had been stabbed, Boromir's dream during the meeting was cut as well as Gandalf snapping him out of it with Black Speech, and that's just a few. It would take a while to name off every single thing, so that may answer you question right there lol
"I kinda want to see [the ring] to its full potential..." Clearly you wouldn't be able to be a ring bearer 🤣🤣🤣
Very excited for this though. I basically watch any LOTR Reaction when it comes out. The lack of CGI in these films make sure that they hold up incredibly well even after two decades. And when they do use it they're able to really focus on it and make it look good. The Balrog in this still looks better than the Balrog in the $1,000,000,000 Rings of Power series. Can't wait to show my kids when they're old enough.
I absolutely lost it as well in all the same parts! Lovely reactions. New sub!
Thank you and welcome ☺️
very excited to see your reaction and hear your thoughts.
people usually talk trash about Pippin but he was ready to go at Strider with a barstool and placed himself between 5 Nazgul and Frodo, do wish they kinda went abit more in depth with just how horrific it is to even be in the presence of one of them, let alone 5, guy was a reliable friend
"I feel like Gandalf's a good guy, right?" - Welll, he is the best guy you can imagine. It doesn't get better than him. He's true Wisdom itself.
38:18 .. Gandalf probably is mad cause they carry the ring so if all MiddleEarth fall into darkness under Sauron because Pipin was curious it is a reason to call him out xD
One of the largest big data companies in the world is called Palantir, named after the seeing stones, like the one Saruman has!
The LOTR trilogy, my favorite films of all time. In the very top of my 100 favorite films ever.
Great Reaction. Simply the best movie ever
"When did this movie actually come out?"
Released in 2001. No trilogy has ever surpassed it.
Sam "carried" this series no doubt, everybody needs a Sam🙏🏽
Nobody wants to be a Sam though...that's the problem
When you read the book(s), Sam plays a much more deliberate part in joining Frodo, it wasn't accident that Sam was " eavesdropping ". Tolkien, himself, stated that LoTR was about Sam.
Tolkien was a great writer, and Jackson and the screenwriters did a great job in using his words verbatim; a lot of the best lines in the movie come straight out of the book. Maybe they're said by a different character, or at a different time, but still they add a lot. All the song lyrics and poems come right from the source.
The only reaction I've seen for this movie that did not include the most iconic meme/line of the whole trilogy: "You shall not pass!"
Great reaction to the greatest fantasy novel and movies ! Can t wait for you to see J. R Tolkien ‘s stories come alive on screen. Take care. Blessings for the new year.🎉😅
Love watching your reactions TO LOTR...By the way you share an amazing resemblance with an 80s sitcom star,Justine Bateman, you could be her daughter 🙂
I’ll be your Gandalf if you’ll be my Arwen.
Your reactions are so nice.
I can’t wait for more.
10:40 "I wonder if the other rings combine to make some sort of masterpiece."
It's not really spelled out in the movie, so I'll answer that with no spoilers.
3 Rings for the elves, 7 for the dwarves, 9 for humans.
19 in all.
Every one of them is magical and whoever has it can do magical things that are never really explained.
But Sauron made one more.
His has magic too, such as being able to go invisible like you saw Bilbo do.
It's also a special ring that lets him dominate the people wearing those 19 rings.
He can control them and bend them to his will.
Bilbo probably could not do this because he wouldn't know how, or even know that it's possible. He thinks he just has a fancy ring that makes him invisible, nothing more.
Sauron never really got to do that domination stuff because Isildur cut off his fingers and stole his ring ages ago.
Now Frodo has it.
Sauron wants it back.
The ring has "a will of its own" and is trying to go back.
And that's about all the author wanted us to know, other than a few bits you'll learn as you watch the movies.
LOL, I love how it doesn’t even occur to the Nazgûl that their quarry is just across the street.
Awesome. My fav movies. After watching you TLoU reactions I am pretty sure you will love this movies like I do
I loved watching this movie with you.
The acting, character development, story, scenery, music etc is all just so damn good... It is understandable to be invested.
If you have time, then read the books. Glorfindel, Tom Bombadil, the Barrow Downs and many other people and scenes are waiting there.
I *do* understand why Glorfindel was cut and Arwen substituted to save Frodo though - Glorfindel was SO powerful that the Nazgul fled in terror and dare not fight him. Still love the films to the max no matter what!
“And you have my bow.” The ONLY time in the whole trilogy that Legolas says something to Frodo.
You are a very wholesome creator 🥰😁
The Lord of the Rings:
1st movie - Fellowship - 2001
2nd movie - Two Towers - 2002
3rd movie - Return of the King - 2003
They came out in three consecutive years, but they were filmed all together as one movie.
Your Lord of the Rings reactions were fun to watch
Same
Yes, the stakes are definitely high throughout and they stay that way throughout the entire trilogy
Bilbo was the only one who gave up the ring willingly, I also liked how you noticed the sound when bilbo dropped the ring, how heavy it was 👍
Sam also did.
@@Jp421JP Sam also didn’t carry it around with him for 60 years
@@gregnuna He still gave up the ring willingly. He was later on in life granted passage by the elves to join Frodo due to this fact!
@@gregnuna While true, there is the matter that Sam did so at quite a close proximity to Mt. Doom. And the ring gets closer and closer to the source of its making, then it is more and more powerful in its influence over those close in proximity to it.
Spoilers people.....
If you really want to understand the lore, I feel like CGP Grey helped a lot. I think he has 2 or 3 videos talking about different aspects. There is one that talk about the rings. Another about the original creatures (maybe watch two towers first for that one). But it’s good stuff.
thanks for content
"Don't give her the ring, don't give her"
Galadriel: "to bear the ring of power is to be alone"
Camera: shows another ring on Galadriel's hand
As you recall, 3 rings were given to the elves...
Three rings were forged by the elves for the elven kings. Sauron never touched them so they were never corrupted under his power.
One thing that the films don't touch upon is that Gandalf and Saruman, while they look like old men, they're not men (humans) bur they're angelic spirits called Maiar (singular Maia) who have been sent to Middle Earth by the Valar (the gods of Arda, the world where Middle Earth is set) to assist the free peoples in the war against Sauron, who is also a Maia. The Balrog is a Maia as well, and he/it wasn't the only one, there used to be several of them (the number varies in different drafts Tolkien wrote but most likey they had to be around twenty as one mighty elf named Glorfindel slain some and many were killed in War of Wrath at the end of the First Age and a handful managed to flee and hide, including the one in Moria, refered as Durin's Bane). Other Maiar were Radagast (who appears in The Lord of the Rings book and mentioned in The Hobbit, though he was cut from the LOTR films and was instead put into The Hobbit films) and The Blue Wizards who was sent to the east to desuade the men of Rhûn to not ally with Sauron. What happened to them remains a mystery as they could have either succeded or failed their misson.
Morgoth who is mentioned by Legolas, was the original Dark Lord in The First Age. He was a Vala that was jealous of Eru Iluvatar, the High God and creator of Arda, the elves and Men (the dwarves were created by Aulë the Smith, another Vala, without Eru's permisson and when he was found out, he was willing to destroy to make up for his disobeians but they first dwarves suddenly recoiled in fear as thanks to Eru, they got proper souls instead of just being puppets of flesh and blood, so Eru let them live but under the condition that they shall not wake up before the elves) for not being able to create actual life, he tainted and corrupted lands and creatures, transforming them into monsters and beasts, like the dragons. The Balrogs were good Maiar originally and so was Sauron but they were seduced by Morgoth and they became evil. To make a long story short, Morgoth set up two different fortresses in a land west of Middle Earth call Beleriand, went to The Undying Lands and stole the beautiful gems called The Silmartils, as well as destroying The Two Trees of Valinor (which were the world's original light source before the creation of sun and moon, they were infact created by the last remaining fruit and flower respectively of the Gold and Silver Tree), Fëanor ,the son of Elf King Finwë (the creator of the Silmarils) declared war against Morgoth for the theft of the gems and slaying his dad and forced all Noldor Elves (of Galadriel and the Lothlorien elves were part of) to go to war against Morgoth for the Silmarils. After many centuries of wars and conflicts (including the story of Beren and Luthíen, Elrond, Arwen and Aragorn's ancestors, who managed to get one of the Silmarils) which included the destruction of three great Elf Kingdoms, Gondolin being one of them, and the loss of the Silmarils and the deaths of Fëanor and his sons, the people of Middle Earth begged The Valar for help and they went to war against Morgoth and his forces, along with the Maiar. After a destructive battle that destroyed Beleriand and sunk it to the ocean floor, The Dark Lord was defeated (his original power was severaly weaked after using it for centuries to corrupt the land and turning beasts into monsters) and were locked into a dimension outside of space and time. Sauron was summouned for his judgement but he was too scared to do it and fled to Middle Earth to hide. After sometime he fell into evil and became the new Dark Lord, setting the events of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Don't be fooled as many have by thinking of The Lord of the Rings book or film as being trilogies, the book in its original and proper form was a single book a single story that was subsequently divided in to 3 volumes (against Tolkien's wishes by his publishers for publishing and monetary reasons) hence the titles of the 3 parts, the same was also done to the film it was divided in to 3 parts not films in their own right(hence the titles) also for viewing/publishing and monetary reasons.
Merry Christmas Liala 🎄🎁❄🎅🏽
Your hair is so beautiful I love your reaction a whole year and for next year. Don't forget your reaction to Justice League part 1 video is missing. !!! 👍🏽😉😊
Liala, please please PLEASE consider watching and reacting to the miniseries Lonesome Dove. It’s in four episodes. Both Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall consider it their best work of their entire careers. Many people consider the novel to be the best Western novel ever written. It truly is a saga on the same level as Lord of the Rings, in many people’s opinion.
Please consider it. Thank you.🙏
We are here for you
You see all three even ring bearers in this movie.. Also if you get around to the Hobbit , the dwarf in the tomb is Balin and the one with the book,,Ori.
Many have commented on this film. The reaction itself is not nothing. Well done.
"The rest of our remaining eight, are gonna stay alive, and safe... right?" Yes?
I see you're reacting to the extended edition. Good.
