This trilogy is goated!!
Sam is the true hero of LOTR! So many characters had amazing story arcs.
The ring bearers had PTSD and were like heroine attics… they’d be able to find some peace going to the undying lands with the elves. According to the books, Sam traveled to the undying lands in his old age to join Frodo since he was a ring bearer for a short period of time.
Its crazy how it was in 2003… i mean i wasnt born yet…. but man its like the same shock you get when you find out shrek came out in 2001 😭✋🏽
Next 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
Literally the BEST franchise EVER!❤
Part of Denethor's resentment toward his son is because his wife died when Faramir was born. Denethor was also heavily influenced by Sauron because he had a palantir (weird crystal ball thing like Saruman's) as well, it's just not explained in the movies.
Are those actual books? Well, yes and no. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are certainly available at book stores, just not in the way they appear in the movie, leather bound and handwritten in beautiful script.
The little girl who ran out to Sam in the final scene was actually Sean Astin's daughter. She wasn't acting; she was running to Daddy.
And the infant Rosie was holding was that actress' child, too.
Not to mention that the little children of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh appeared in brief shots in all three movies, as did PJ himself. He even had a line. It was "Auuughh!"
At around 31:00 and following, the apparent death of Eowyn confuses many reactors. Peter Jackson & Co. tried to have it both ways–they wanted to include Eowyn's moving scene with Theoden, but they also wanted to include Eomer's great reaction finding Eowyn's body on the field. The psychic shock of stabbing a Nazgul left Eowyn near death (in the book, Theoden's last words are with Merry, and Theoden dies without realizing that Eowyn is lying not far away); Merry is also left near death after his stabbing the Nazgul. In the book, Aragorn finds Faramir, Eowyn, and Merry in the Houses of Healing and heals them, using the athelas or kingsfoil he used on Frodo back in FOTR. It is a sign of his kingship, for "the hands of the King are the hands of a healer, and so the rightful King could ever be known." A lovely little story of Faramir's courtship of Eowyn ensues, in which Merry plays a small but important part. All of this is only seen in the Extended version of the movie, where it is briefly shown.
At 59:50, many reactors are confused as to where Frodo wakes up. Your guess is Rivendell (and other reactors I've watched often guess the same), but if you look at the architecture, it's clear that they are in Minas Tirith. In the book, the first Hobbit we see is Sam, and he is in a tent in Ithilien, near where the hobbits first met Faramir. Aragorn later gives Ithilien to Faramir as Prince of Ithilien; it is said to be one of the loveliest regions of Gondor.
Great reaction and commentary! I would love for you to read the books and then come back and make a video, maybe comparing them with the movies.
Faramir’s father was insane. I saw the filmmakers talking about how common it was in “the old days” for people to lose their minds from lead poisoning. The dishes/cups they used were sometimes lined with lead, which would seep into the food and drink. That scene of him pigging out was to set this up. I love the actor, John Noble, who played him. Love your reactions. 👏👏👏
Never feel embarrassed about crying during the LOTR watch. These movie are highly emotional. Even after watching it when it came out 20 years ago and till now i still shed tears. No movie can accomplish what Peter Jackson and Co accomplish.
Erwyn is theodens niece not his daughter
Are there books!?! Why yes, yes there are! And if you're up for it they are the best fantasy adventure ever written, even better than the movies, although Peter Jackson did an amazing job bringing them to the screen and we'll be forever grateful to him! Do yourself a favor, run out immediately and get them and then you will be able to prolong your stay in Middle Earth and meet even more characters and have more adventures for as long as you can draw them out! I envy your journey! Thank you and I very much enjoyed your reaction! ❤Edit: Went back and finished watching after the comment, so , sorry, you obviously knew about the books and were just talking about the beautiful leather bound one in the movie!
The charge of the Rohirrim usually gets me. The ghost army is ridiculous though. Such a powerful force shouldn't exist in Middle Earth. Theoretically, one single ghost could wipe out every single orc in Mordor.
Yo the ps2 games for these movies are fire.
Frodo went to the “undying” land with the elves, although he would die there; but in the meantime without the mental, emotional and physical hurts he continued to suffer from. There is some debate about how long he actually ‘lived’ there because Tolkien’s various writings can be variably interpreted. I personally see his and Bilbo’s departure on the ships as representing their deaths. Peter Jackson might also, since that departure visually is similar to Gandalf’s description of death to Pippin in Minas Tirith.
Frodo went to the Undying Lands. It's sort of like heaven on earth. The elves went there because living forever means having forever to accumulate trauma, so the Undying Lands gives them some place where everything is happy and safe. Frodo's wounds never healed right and the ring took a toll on him physically, mentally, and spiritually, but he can find healing and peace where he's going. He gets to chill with Bilbo and Gandalf for the rest of his life.
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!
Great reaction 💜
xAt 5:23 The dude who gets shot is Peter Jackson, the director himself
Probably the thing I dislike most about this movie is the Eowyn vs Witch King storyline. Merry is the hero on that moment, but they had to make it a “girl power” moment. Also, that they had the witch king more powerful than Gandalf. There’s a whole backstory of why Merry was able to defeat the witch king, but the gist of it is that Merry made him able to be killed, at which point, anyone could have killed him. There was no such thing as “no man can kill him.” There was a prophecy that he wouldnt( not couldn’t) die at the hands of a man. Merry wasn’t a man, he was a hobbit. You should read the books. So much better.
Theoden is Eowyn's Uncle, not her father.
Faramir’s father had one of the “seeing stones” and had been seeing what Sauron wanted him to see: an inevitable defeat. Thats what weakened his mind.
