@@chriskuhr9325 Game of Thrones, close ? hahaha. Especially after the latest episode which pretty much killed the show. Nah. LOTR sits all alone at the very top. I wouldn't even put GOT in the top 3.
LotR is, without a shadow of a doubt, three of the most perfect films of our geneation, but possibly even of all time. As another guy said on here, I wish I could delete the memory of watching this masterpiece from my mind, just to experience it all again.
well i will very much disagree with the notion of them being anywhere near perfect i will say they are without a shadow of a doubt some of the best done fantasy movies to date and i pray and hope deep down something will surpass them in my life time
As I kid I played D&D and credited myself with a pretty good imagination - not as good as Peter Jackson's, it seemed. Astonishing films but Fellowship probably my favourite...
Fatalnightshade What do you honestly think they needed to improve upon, and have you read the books? I remember walking in the theatre to the Fellowship with my expectation level ranging from either walking out early, or the best they could possibly make these films, still expecting several discrepancies from the books. When the movie ended i felt that they had exceded my best expectations.
Aragorn's character is impeccable. Truly, he's all that is man. Dood protects the weak and innocent, steps up and leads although he doesn't want the power, cry's when he loses a friend, sings when he has won. And gets the girl! What a role model.
Aragorn is pure fantasy. The weak will cvck you if you are not cruel and merciless. Women are illogical dvmbass wh0res who fetishize even gуpsy dysgеnіc svbhvmans only because "to break your nerves" and follow their weird fetish. Welcome to the objective reality.
Ich weiß nicht, ob ich erstaunt drüber sein soll, einen Kommentar von dir von 2020 unter einem Herr der Ringe Video von 2012 zu finden... Das würde ja bedeuten das... du irgend wann auch auf die Idee gekommen sein musst, dir die Szene aus weiß Gott welchen Gründen angucken zu wollen... :D
If you are wondering about aragorn's singing, the song is Elendil's oath. Aragorn's song has power to heal people (not shown in movies but is in books. He even heals eowyn after the battle of pelenor fields). To sing the song means to heal people, to sing the song at coronation means to heal the wartorn kingdom.
Cry every time...Boromir was an honorable man, despite his moments of weakness in the end he has redeemed himself by giving his life by trying to save merry and pippin. He is a solid guy in my books yes sir.
@@captainvoluntaryistthestat3207 Girl power, males can be soldiers(slaves), never trust the Khalessi, walking dead ends abruptly by a little girl and her plot armor. John Snow knows literally nothing. People can kill dragons easily unless the Khalessi is riding them, that ampers them with loads of plot armor.
I'm not a LOTR exert, but holy shit. Couldn't the elfs arrange another "special ship for the land of spiritual snobs" for the guy who literally faced fucking Sauron!? That way they all could have lived happy there.
That's what all parents do. They become parents knowing one day that they must fail in that duty to have their children become adults and go out on their own and find their own fulfillment and bliss.
Very true. Unfortunately in the Prime show they're probably going to portray them as horrible genocidal colonisers (which to be fair they were, but not Aragorn's bloodline).
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 The true numenoreans are Black from AFRIKA. The ones that were corrupted were White. Elindil was Black like Yeheshuah, and Sauron is an angel. We wuz kangz!
It depends on when the series starts as the Numenorean came back to middle earth first as teacher to lesser men, it was only after their slow corruption by the fear of death and insatiable avarice that they became conqueror and warmongers.
He broke a tooth on set, asked for some quick glueing and to go back to filming. He broke his toes in the helmet kick scene and stayed in character. He almost drowned while doing the "Breath of Life" scene (before Harod takes him to Helm's Deep) One tough, crazy, badass motherfucker
Bender B. Rodriguez He also went hiking before filming certain scenes so he would look worn out, dirty, and tired. Also, when fighting Lurtz, the actor playing him accidentally threw his knife right at Viggo and he deflected it with his sword perfectly. The knife got stuck deep into a tree nearby. That wasn't supposed to happen but it was so badass they kept it in the movie. Viggo Mortensen deserves way more roles...
Talha K Shouldn't it be a safety replica? Sounds like they really threw a knife at him! Mortensen was great in The Road and History of Violence. It can be an advantage when you don't see an actor in almost every movie in the year but, sure, wanna see him more.
Athletelife Yes, I often watch it during a Snow day... fire place going and eat good hardy food. I have pillows and a comfy Winter blanket, I start with the Hobbit and then The Lord of the Rings (the extended version) 😍🤗😃😊
Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta! "Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world."
Elendil's words as his small fleet of Faithful Numenoreans approached Middle Earth after the destruction of Numenor and the changing of the world. Goosebumps.
+Will Adkins Two of them really did: the "boys" Merry and Pippin became the tallest Hobbits in history after drinking the Ent-draught given them by Treebeard. Bilbo remarked on it on their return to Rivendell, giving them nothing typical Hobbit-sense: "Never let your heads become to big for your hats". Magic. Thank Eru for the Little Folk.
I'm a grown ass man, and I cried when I saw this more than 20 years ago, and I cried again now. These movies have had a bigger impact on my life than anything else. Goes right into the heart. Best trilogy ever made.
I swear, every song in LOTR is just epic or heartbreaking. Pippin with 'Edge of Night', the dwarves in The Hobbit with 'The Misty Mountain Cold', and aragorn with this. One of the best things about these movies was the music.
***** This week starting on Thursday I will be playing with Symphony Silicon Valley in San Jose, performing the music live onstage in concert with the movies being screened behind us, the choir, and singers. This is such an awesome gig!!!
Sometimes people forget that Gandalf is a Maiar in human form, sent by Manwe to challenge Sauron... because he was afraid... and the only one to succeed in his task. Saruman failed, the Blue Wizards poofed, and Radagast became more concerned about the wilds. But Gandalf not only was resurrected, because he showed true heroism and sacrifice... against the Balrog of Morgoth, but also because he was always true to his task... never faltered. And then Aragorn not only has the honor of being his friend, but is crowded by an angel, or minor god... what ever the Maia are. The fact is... he is like blessed by the heavens to be king... basically.
Thats stupid lets say for exsample Glorfindel wind raider of elves was kill Barlog too so he didnt get any other color and power like gandalf and yeah that stupid blue wizards fucking travelers i hate them
+lovefunkrockmusic tolkein didn't make up his mind, but it is thought that in the east they led those nations against sauron, you have to remember that gondor was actually a small place and there were many other countries....
It's just so impossible to describe how everything in this franchise seems like an ancient epic legend whose mysteries we cannot fully comprehend. So mystical. So beautiful.
Because that is how JRR Tolkien intended it to be. The events of Middle Earth is supposed to be *our* ancient history, and within the canon, Tolkien didn't write the novels, rather he found the Red Book Of Westmarch (it's the book you see Bilbo and later Frodo writing in Bag End) and was somehow able to translate it and then later on released it as "Fantasy" novels
@@asturianix9820 you should do more research on him. He was trying to create a mythology for England because the normans destroyed nearly all of it when they defeated the Anglo Saxons and took England in 1066. The shire was influenced by where he lives in rural England. It was first used when the Anglo Saxons settled and they’re only used in the English speaking world especially England.
Same, I just put the vid to hear the song as I was working and I had to stop cause I couldn't resist to look at the moment Aragorn walks to each character and then Legolas smiled, and then there were Elrond's tears and then Aragorn looked at Arwen and they kissed and they saw the Hobbits, the bow and the expression of Frodo... No, no it's too much for my poor heart T_T
There was a time when noone believed that Tolkien's masterpiece could ever be brought on screen. Peter Jackson is pure genius and this movie will always be a big pleasure to watch. Just like I did yesterday. =)
Yeah, I also thought of Beren and Luthien when I saw this scene. I'm sure Elrond realized this when he watched this reunion too, having lived in the First Age. Such a beautiful moment. But having read The Silmarillion numerous times, I realize that it would take a dozen movies, at least, to convey the scale of events that arose in that age... I would love and fully appreciate such an endeavor, but it doesn't seem feasible at this time,, :( But one can dream right?? ;)
''May they be blessed.'' Such a peaceful line, and when Aragorn starts singing I can truly feel like I'm there with them, in that world, listening to something his predecessor said thousands of years ago.
When Aragorn says "my friends, you bow to no one" and the music starts, I still get shivers even after all these years. I was 11 when the first LOTR movie came out in 2001 and to this day I can still re-watch them without getting bored. The actors, the art direction, the OUTSTANDING music... Thank you Mr. Tolkien and Mr. Jackson for your outstanding work.
Elrond's face is so sad when he has to give up Arwen. He looks like he's about to cry. I mean, he's literally saying good-bye to his daughter, he's probably not going to see her again because he's going across the Sea to Valinor, and Arwen's going to eventually die a mortal's death. So yeah, they might not see each other again...ever.
His expressions is perfect. And the way Legolas moves his eyes to indicate Arwen is perfect. And her laugh is perfect. And his joy is perfect. And the music is perfect. And my tears are perfect damnit! These are some of the best minutes put on film ever.
Oh my goodness, that face starting around 2:43! That reluctance to give up his daughter mingled with the knowledge of his daughter's happiness is captured so well in this scene. Elrond may be one of the most esteemed elf lords, but he's still a father.
Lorenzo Gullotta All endings are sad, but there remains hope for the future if the end comes from love and kindness. Dry your tears, for our days are not yet ended, and there is time for us yet to make good what we have.
Watching Lord of the Rings in it's entirety is almost like a religious experience to me. It's so inspiring and heart wrenching, it never loses it's magic for me.
I swear does anybody notice how arwen's father looks like he will break apart any second when he sees his daughter finally see the love of her life again at 2:40
+Patricia Scotman Hey man, Elrond (Arwen's father) knows if she goes with Aragorn, then she give up Elven immortality. He will see her dead and not only that, she will live long before he husband (elves still live very long even if mortal). (thus a long grieving life without her love) She could have chosen to live forever in the Greylands with him and the rest of the dying (aka lost of earthly power) elves.
4:11 The Music, atmosphere, shot, just everything was perfect. What a trilogy, what an ending, what a truely EPIC journey through middle earth. And some people say Game of Thrones is better...
The original Star Wars trilogy were good, the prequels not so much, and the Harry Potter films were enjoyable enough... but they don't hold a candle to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
+PsychosisFire What about the Hobbit Trilogy? Same as the Star Wars prequels. For me The Hobbit was OK. LOTR was spectacular. The Hobbit was good. Loved that I was back in Middle Earth, but not as good or epic is LOTR.
+Hossein salamat Actually Star Wars is a fictional past too. In the beginning of all the movies it says, A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.... A LONG TIME AGO
No words to explain this trilogy. Actors, director, story adaptation, soundtracks... it's all perfect. I only can say: LORD OF THE RINGS DESERVED THE OSCAR and this trilogy can't be remade in the future , it's an unique master piece.
Andrew Hill already did and I watch their videos then I can say: Some movies like LOTR, the criticism are irrelevant. People expect perfection, but mistakes always happen. So, I'm not an annoying nerd that complain about everything, I'm a calm and balanced guy that know how to appreciate the good things in life and forgive minor mistakes. Cinema Sins isn't a channel to be taken seriously, but with sense of humor.
Andrew Hill Cinema Sins is a channel dedicated to nitpicking. I mean, seriously. Have you seen the Back To The Future analysis? They don't do this seriously. I take all of their videos with a grain of salt. There are some truly bad films out there and they do dissect them properly, but a moderately faithful adaption of a book written fifty years ago, to excellent effect, isn't worth a video that is, quite literally, just a tongue-in-cheek scalpel test.
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
2:35 Look at Elrond's expression, changing from happines to sadness, from letting her daughter to go find love to knowing he will lose her. I mean really, look! It's like he's really there. Excellent acting.
I can't believe they didn't mess it up. I'm so used to things now not living up to the hype GOT season 8, Star Wars episode 9. This series started high and built each movie and stuck the landing.
@@Big_Steve11 martin sopped working with them once they got past season 5 i think gave them vague notes and went back to his hermit cave, the show runners where the only creative voices hence why it became disjointed and sloppy after then
They planned all 3 movies ahead. Unlike game of thrones where they just made shit up as they went with it. What a disaster. And star wars was more about promoting their own franchise and selling new toys. Ugh, how many times did they try to make the ice foxes try and look cute and funny? Hell yeah my kid brother wanted that toy
He sang Elendil's Oath. Elendil (Aragorn's ancestor) said these words when he came to Middle-earth after the destruction of the island Numenor. "Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world." The depth of Tolkien's works is amazing.

In one single scene, a perfect example of Jackson's genius: the humility of power and recognition that even the most unlikely ones can make a difference between light and darkness. And when he bows to of them, it's the biggest tearjerker in the whole modern history of Hollywood.
Omg, I love how Merry, Frodo and Sam are all "wow". And then there's Pippin, who could only think "Finally getting the fucking respect I deserve from these idiots."
It's more than 10 years since I saw these films for the first time, and scenes like this never, ever fail to make me emotional, no matter how many times I have rewatched them.
I never thought I'd cry... I swear I really didn't think I would. I also didn't expect to be a hardcore JRR Tolkien fan, I only just started watching these movies for practically the first time now (the actual first time doesn't count because i was really young) and here I am... crying my eyes out... how could no one cry at the moment they bowed? oh my god... I'm about to read the books too, now. This world is just... wow
I just noticed it. Aweee :'( Ps. sad moments for me were when my 4 other favorite characters where killed, Legolas reaction too Tauriel grieving and now this Elrond scene. Also... love love love Thranduil
I have become very numb to pain and depression. Somedays I come here to watch this scene which still makes me shed a tear. That's how I know that I'm still alive inside.
I love Arwen and Aragorn's reunion, it's a lovely little moment, but can you imagine being a commoner who doesn't quite know the full backstory of those two? "Why are they dramatically approach-oh wait they are kissing. Do you think they know each other or did he just pick an elven concubine? Yeah, I think they know each other." Also, to those arguing about Arwen or Aragorn being prettier, let's be honest: it's a godsdamn tie. As a kid I thought Arwen was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and Aragorn made me feel things. Oh man, these movies.

Viggo sang this with such grace, with his baritone voice. His deep timbre makes the spirit swell, as if you were in Minas Tirith, at his coronation, in person. It is a work of true, pure magic. The magic, grace, and beauty of the human spirit. "My friends, you bow to no one". - Aragorn The most profound quote from this movie, among the list from the work of Tolkien. ❤
i'm so proud of humankind... to make this absolutely perfect trilogy. thank you all.. and my special thanks to Mr.Tolkien. i hope you are seeing white shores, and beyond.. a far green country , under a swfit sunrise.
"Out of the great sea to middle earth I have come, in this place will I abide and my heirs, unto the ending of the world" -The Númenorean King that founded Gondor and Arnor
When everyone bows to the hobbits, I interpret their faces as such: Pippin: That was a job well done. :) Sam: Yes, so...right. Thank you. How long are we supposed to stand like this? Frodo: Oh God, I think I'm gonna cry... Merry: HOLY CRAP THEY'RE ALL BOWING. I CAN'T EVEN.
lol and the elf lady's dad is all like "I'm not gonna get to walk her down the isle. Fuck it all." lol that's my interpretation. (I can't remember names very well lol)
It’s truly a testament to Aragorn’s humility that after he JUST became King of Gondor, he approaches the hobbits and tells them “My friends…you bow to NO ONE!” Truly a King of Kings. LOTR Trilogy is a masterpiece that will always be legendary
Hugo Weaving's nonverbal acting is awesome in this scene. The way he looks overwhelmed with happiness looking between Aragorn and the daughter he's "giving away." It reminds me of my sister's wedding, watching my father do the same thing.
He gives a little whisper to her. I think he's saying "Go to him." He tried for two movies to get Arwen to give up her relationship and now he has to watch her leave with the knowledge that she will die a mortal, but it's worth it to him because his little girl finally gets her wish.
The Halls of Mandos are closed to the Children of Men, but our path is not that of the Eldar. We have a life beyond the World, that which the Valar made at Eru's bidding. It is the Gift of Eru Iluvatar to us to leave the World behind, the desire for which the Firstborn may envy at The End of Time.
I honestly feel like that "You bow to no one" part is the reason why the Hobbit movies, while very good in my opinion, will never reach the level of excellence Lord of the Rings achieved. I love both trilogies dearly, but there's something about the nostalgia of Lord of the Rings that will never be matched.
You're right, LOTR is more epic, extended and deeper. But let's not compare them because after reading the Hobbit I realised it wasn't meant to be an epic story but one for children. Jackson seemed to keep the light feeling of the Hobbit while filming it.
Elronds face gets me every time. When you understand the weight of it you cannot help but be left in awe by the story Tolkien wrote. I hope he is sitting next to Manwë right now writing poems and great tales
Every Thanksgiving, my friends and I get together to watch the extended editions of these movies. We watch from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night. We even eat in the same schedule as hobbits do, and have specific food items for the meals. But every time we get to the end of this movie, it never ceases to bring a tear to my eye. I love these movies so much.
