Bilbo Baggins & Gollum Play A Game of Riddles | The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey | Max 

I like how they changed that in the film but it's still Gollum's fault for trying to eat Bilbo. In the book it's made clear that it was Gollum's pressure what made Bilbo say simply "time" and here it is him saying "time's up".

Gollum gollum!!!

@@h20deliriousvr19 Gollum freaking out like that is almost similar to a schizophrenic child i remember working with years ago, his babysitter used to let him watch alot of horror movies, and therefore he grew a fascination for werewolves, so much so that it influenced his behavior in a negative way, whenever he got pissed off or someone got him mad he would suddenly start spurting out "He's a werewolf! He's a werewolf!" This meant in his mind he was becoming a werewolf and was a precursor that he was about to go apeshit on someone. Suffice to say Gollum could very well classify as a schizophrenic patient in my eyes.

@@torytellstales let's hope that kid doesn't grow up to be a furry

They honored that to the best of their ability I thought

The 70's animated Bakshi version of this scene is more like that. There's no hint of the Smeagol childlike personality. Gollum is creepy as hell in that version.

Well interestingly enough originally it wasn’t, it was a sort of like the movie’s scene. It was actually a scene where bilbo beats Gollum at riddles and then Gollum gives him the ring as a reward, but then he wrote lord of the rings and re-wrote this scene entirely for the re-release that coincided the lord of the rings release so it would be more in line with those stories.

@@sethzwicker3631 Especially with the "green glowing eyes" and when he paddles on the lake, furious, his eyes fiery, fixated on Bilbo. I can't imagine being in Bilbo's shoes at that moment.

@@maggiesinthemud5638 Yea that's very interesting, but I think the version you're talking about exists, although it's not in sale.

@@maggiesinthemud5638 So, the first edition of the book has Gollum simply handing over the ring willingly? And then he changed it for a reprint later?

Truly iconic!

If and when you get a chance, he did an audiobook reading of the entire story. It's here on youtube. I thought it a gem when i found it and listened on a long road trip. He does an excellent job of reading as well as the well known voice of gollum and other characters in the story. It's free here on RU-vid

@@lilmike2710 oh yeah I’ve listened to it the riddles in the dark chapter is awesome with Serkis narrating

@@StreamOnMax I got his voice it sounds like stitch a lil bit right?

Matthew 11:15 KJV He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.

Betting that was something Tolkien would have loved in real life, which is why he wrote the idea

I have a book of Mother Goose rhymes, and a bunch of them are riddles, but I would never have figured them out without the answers being printed right there. 😅

This sounds like a necessity to keep from getting bored from living for thousands of years

@@JohnPeacekeeper Elven minds are different; they don't need such tricks.

But he still wanted to kill bilbo, dats sad

I recently started reading the Fellowship of the Ring and gandalf makes such a heartbreaking point about this moment. Since Smeagol was not much different from a hobbit once, those riddles connected him with a tradition and a culture that he knew. That this little part of him was still there, hiding from the ring. I just made myself so sad.

Gollum: stop playing with your food.

@@neckdaily3292 i feel bad for smeagol

Yess..., just just us?

yess me loves it tooooo

“If Baggins loses we eats it whole “ -Gollum “Fair enough “- Bilbo Best reply that was ever replied

Bilbo doesn't win

That's why I enjoy this scene too. They didn't try to complicate things, and didn't just skip to Bilbo getting ring and then getting out, because we know that happens. Instead they decided to make the scene entertaining with the riddles.

Holy crap, I do now. I'm a little surprised I didn't notice before.

No…but I’ll be sure to look out for it Edit: yup…there it is

yeah, it is one of the tricks the films use to make the character of Smeagol more appealing compared to Gollum. One of the other ones being the voice. Great catch!

It makes him look more innocent than Gollum; between the two, Gollum is more conniving, sly, and overall unpleasant. Narrowed eyes often give people that impression, especially if the narrowing is obviously intentional. ‘Innocent’ figures in media like television and cinema often have dilated pupils or eyes in general, to make them seem more adorable/relatable/pitiable. Sméagol is the more trusting of the two, with a better nature, and the dilation of his pupils underlines that. We feel sorry for Sméagol and his predicament, and we can feel that more clearly when contrasting him to Gollum.

@Johnt Schmichal I did not say that I believed Sméagol to be innocent. You’re only proving my point, as was the point of the character. Feeling bad for him was intended, and no matter the character trait, the intention was so, as produced by Tolkien’s hand and the film. The special effects of the film make him seem that way, to lure the viewer into a false sense of security, as Frodo was, in a way. The contrast is a distraction; the obvious ill-intent of Gollum is a diversion, so the two, with the same ultimate goals, may achieve them, most notably, acquiring the One Ring. Also, there is only evidence that Sméagol was corrupted by the Ring, as he did evil, as we saw, only after seeing it. I know not of solid proof to show that Sméagol was evil before encountering the One Ring.

Underrated comment! Excellent observation!

Noice one matey.

And in the book he asks one about fish: "Living without breath, cold as death. Never thirsty, always drinking. Clothed in mail, never clinking."

@@macksonamission1784 That one is used in one of the older animated films though. 🤔🤷 Sounds very familiar.

And Bilbo’s riddles remind Gollum of his former life as Sméagol. Teeth, food other than fish…

Lol

Just like they did in Black Panther!

@@jamesplunkett8912 Wow, I didn’t realize that Klaw and Gollum were played by the same guy.

@@capncake8837his real name is Andy Serkis

The opposite of king louie in jungle book when he said "have two bananas" but holds up three fingers.

30 white horses but we only got sixes teeth

LOL!

ASK US ANOTHER ONE !!

I also love how Gollum just curls up in a ball on the floor and petulantly whines like a child when he loses the game and realizes he won’t get to eat the hobbit for dinner. Yeah, he’s a villain, but he’s got some standards. LOL!

Ah yes the floor is made out of floor

This is a bit unnecessary scene since Gollum was always gonna try to kill him and obviously Bilbo was never gonna let himself eaten just because he lost a bet. But building up tension nicely rather than having just another chasing scene.

Yeah, definitely. One of the few scenes in which Gollum was a threatening villain.

naughty hobbitses

@@Jubiedanny47 Nasty little hobbitses, as my mom likes to use to describe the dreary weather in our area whenever it occurs.

Weta wouldn't been able to achieve the greatness of creating Gollum without the great Andy Serkis.

​@@michaelluisalbaladejo6319 The artists deserve equal or maybe even more credit. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible in the first place. The level of co-ordination this requires is extremely hard.

Hot take as someone watchd chronologicaly i loved Hobbit more than lotr

@@sarov7658 similarly me as well I liked both because I watched them in order . I m now finding that people somehow hated this masterpiece Maybe because of nostalgia with lotr

I do think The Hobbit Trilogy isn't good, it's really only The Unexpected Journey. I think it should've been 1 movie, cut all filler, 3 hours and enough time in preproduction, it would've been an amazing film on par with the OT LOTR Trilogy. However, I really like The Unexpected Journey, it's not outstanding but damn, it's solid, The movie is underrated and deserves more love despite the outcome of the rest of the trilogy. Also the conversations with Smaug in The Desolation of Smaug movie are sick and The Barrel Scene is tight, I don't care what anybody says.

@@sakibmir5360 I don’t hate it, but it’s unnecessarily bloated (being a short children’s book, my edition has 289 pages; Half of fellowship)

@@sakibmir5360 same i watched them before reading and i was surprised how much people hated it

It's all thanks to Andy Serkis and his unmatched acting in motion capture

@@allsmilesguy That's just gross disrespect to the movie's entire VFX Department, everyone else who contributed, and to the amount of hours they put into post production. 🤦‍♂️

Marvel should take notes

And the swing between Smeagol's pure glee and Gollum's malice is excellent.

​@@andersonii4478 Yeah I get what the guy was trying to do but giving credit to Serkis alone, let's just say the sentence could've been better written.

Well he basically just became a junkie. He does not care about anything real as long as he stays alive somehow and can get high over and over.

Yeah that's a big advantage. Although I think that was Smeagol, because he was so excited about the game

Gollum had already asked the first riddle before the game started, which is why Bilbo has the last riddle and Gollum says ‘last chance’. If Gollum had gotten that one correct they would have tied.

Martin Freeman is one of the best actors of this generation. He’s obviously done well for himself but I can’t help but still find him underrated. He’s got incredible talent.

Its a diamond in the ruff of the other Hobbit movies as I've always held it as

Gollum CGI is upgraded but not for the orcs lol

Peak Martin Freeman

Teef

I got 1000000000 teeth

2:09"Oh, oh! We knows! We knows! Shut up!" 😂

But we, we.. only have...nine!

@@havenspringer lol

I daresay it's the best and one of the few good moments in the entire trilogy.

I think he says that because he needs Gollum in the game, to win. If it was a game of riddles between just Smeagol and Bilbo I have no doubt Bilbo would win easily, the addition of "Gollum" (the cunning, clever, malicious part of Smeagol) meant his chances were far better

LMAO!

I feel like he was more taken back by gollum wanting to eat him whole. He seemed confused how gollum would manage to eat him whole

Probably the best scene in the entire trilogy. Which isn't saying much

And then Bilbo's response

@@eryvac0074 fair enough! 😂😂

@@alexandermacdonald499 meanwhile, in his head: (in a Texas accent) "we sure as hell ain't in the shire anymore"

You pretty 😊

and the subtitles in this video give a very different answer lmfao

Well jackson only wanted to do 2 movies, they forced him to stretch it to 3 and rather last minute

@@disturbed157 i would have rather seen guillerma del toro do the 2 films as originally planned

@@StrangerBlocks yeah Del Toro has a thing for practical effects too so I think they would also look quite a lot better.

@@grandmasterkaiju3821 ya there is an interview of him nearly crying talking about how he didn’t make them and saying it’s like being widowed

I first loved the hobbit then lotr and to Tolkien their creator.

No, I heard that part of the riddle here.

He held up 3, though, didn't he? Half his hand isn't on screen

Someone who looks at you like food?

@@hercules2606hd he seemed inlove with it

Bruh this made me snort my drink

I don't get it

@@abhinavsumesh2549 performance on the bed. You know........

Why? I find him adorable in a weird way

@@alomtz4359 yeah, he is. But u wouldn't want him to be hangin around while u sleep right?

WHY Gollum, of all fictional people?

Nahh facts he's pure nightmare fuel 😂

absolutely, made me laugh out loud all by myself! 😂

🤣🤣🤣

And lose all the character development and world-building. I'm sorry, but making a single live-action film of The Hobbit that is only 2 hours long would be laughable. Just because the book glossed over a bunch of stuff doesn't mean the adaptations need to too.

I think it could been 2 three hour long movies. That way we could have room for development and lore, but cut out some of the padding. As it stands, I still love the hobbit trilogy as is. Could’ve been more streamlined, but it’s a lot of fun to watch.

3 hrs movie would work

that was so funny

Yeah, the Sméagol side of his personality is like an excited little kid or happy puppy dog.

I love the original trilogy, but Hobbit does have several moments when it matches the originals in quality. Bilbo and Smaug's dialogue, the fight between Thorin and Azog, everything before Bilbo leaves Hobbiton, though the rest of the hobbit trilogy is very lackluster. But yeah, this scene is something else. I honestly think this is the best Gollum scene in the franchise. He's honestly better here than he was in the originals

Don't think of The Lord of the Rings as the "original trilogy" ala Star Wars. Think of it as a sequel trilogy that was made a decade in advance of the original. The Hobbit was written first, after all. You might appreciate these movies a little more if you view the six Middle-earth films chronologically.

@@Bauglir100 yeah, it is different from Star Wars. Though The Hobbit is also a Prequel to LOTR, like the Star Wars Prequels to the OT But meanwhile in the Star Wars where, the Prequels were the world building trilogy what added lot to the SW universe, here, the Hobbit (book) didn't have the deep lore what the Lord of the Rings trilogy had. Because the Hobbit book really came earlier. The world building happened in the LOTR books. If the Hobbit movies really would have been strict to the book, it would have been much less character development and consistency with LOTR. The problem is Peter Jackson added too much sidestory, like Alfrid or the Tauriel lovestory , what were really pretty unnecessary.

@@sectorgovernor The Hobbit is not a prequel, except in the sense that it was adapted to film after The Lord of the Rings. It's the original story and The Lord of the Rings is the sequel. That's how Tolkien himself meant these books to be read. You can easily watch The Hobbit first and have all your questions answered when you watch The Lord of the Rings. Whereas if you watch the Star Wars prequel trilogy first, then a lot of plot twists and mysteries in the original trilogy will be lost, like Luke's parentage or his relationship with Princess Leia. The prequel trilogy was made to answer questions that the original trilogy made us ask, not the other way around. I agree that some dumb changes were made in The Hobbit, but most of it was done because of meddling from Warner Bros.. Not that LOTR didn't have some dumb changes made to it too. I see a lot of people posting comments like "Tolkien is spinning in his grave." or "Tolkien would've hated The Hobbit films!", but the truth is that he would've hated the LOTR films too.

I’d say Thorin’s death matched the quality of LOTR.

🙄

Gollum played a trick on us
