When Sean is talking about not wanting to give Frodo back the ring in the orc's tower, I totally believed it was because Sam didn't want to hurt Frodo. Such acting!
Thank you for sharing this, it's always a treat to see the hobbits (and Legolas, of course). RIP Bernard Hill - such a marvellous, brilliant actor who could stir the emotions like almost no other. A great loss to the acting world, thoughts are with his family.
Farewell, Theoden-King! Go now to the halls of your fathers, in whose mighty company you shall not feel ashamed. You were a greater son of lesser sires. Hail, the victorious dead!
“Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?”
I'm totally with Sean on the Sam and the ring scene. If I remember correctly book Sam sort of has a moment of wanting it but purely with the desire to do good with that amount of power. Or the ring sort of seduces him with those sorts of visions like "look we could make so many beautiful gardens and help people etc" but obviously the ring is manipulative that way, so i think at most i could imagine that thought process for Sam. Elijah is brilliant in that scene too because he switches between seemingly wanting the ring selfishly to wanting to protect Sam.
I don't see Elijah Wood that often, but Daniel Radcliffe once said that he always gets a bunch of the same clothes so the paparazzi can't sell "new" pictures of him. Maybe that's part of it.
As someone who lives in the surrounding area to Liverpool I'm not super scouse but am on the edge 😂, trying to teach university friends from various parts of the country how to do a scouse accent was always hilarious 😂
@hello_bye708 With regards to Orlando Bloom, or anyone else for that matter - If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. I wonder how you yourself are aging? He’s 25 years older for pity’s sake and a man, no longer a boy.
Damn they're so cultured and they still know their characters and extra ones as well (Tom Bombadil) after all these years, it blows my mind, and it's such a contrast to the actors from the Rings of Power series, which struck me as superficial and dumb.
Kind of wanting to script write a Hans Jenson movie. Like an interview with his therapist as a washed up interviewer going through where things went wrong
