I have seen many reaction videos where they split these long movies into 2-3 parts. But they had actually watched it totally through. where it appears that you actually stopped the movie. The male Ents are trees, the Females are Bushes and they left.

There are many races of men in the LOTR. The group who went through the black gate were different from those who joined Saurman. There are other groups to come.

Hobbits are usually not happy on the water.

When I retired, I took a copy of Bilbo's Birthday speech and changed the names to those of people I worked with. Just before I walked out the door, I sent it to everyone in an Email.

Rikki-tikki tavi is one of my favorite childhood I watched as a kid

23:41 they come in the form of the age they died

All the maps you see are the original maps drawn by the author, JRR Tolkien, which are found in the original novels.

There is an entire half a chapter dedicated to Faramir and Eowyn falling in love in the book, and it's really sweet and much more fleshed out. Faramir falls head over heels at first sight, and immediately seeks out Merry to get the gossip on her, (since he heard that Merry and Eowyn rode together to Minas Tirith and were close friends). Over the course of a month or so as they recover from their respective ordeals, Faramir helps her though her trauma and challenges her "feelings" for Aragorn, helping her understand that she was in love with the idea of him more than the man himself. Ultimately she realises that there is more to life than being a queen and renowned warrior, and learns to find beauty in healing. "And then [Faramir] took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls of the sight of many. And many indeed saw them and the light that shone about them as they came down from the walls and went hand in hand to the Houses of Healing." And to the Warden of the Houses Faramir said: "Here is the Lady Éowyn of Rohan, and now she is healed."

Orc is NOT half pig/ half human

To answer your question about how Smeagol could succumb so quickly to the ring, when other hobbits do not. Hobbits all have the capacity to resist the ring, but Smeagol was already a spoiled, despicable character prior to the ring being found. The ring tapped into his base desires.

This is actually a beautiful barbie movie, I love it! ❤💖💖💖 My favourite part from "Barbie in the Nutcracker" was when Clara kissed the Nutcracker he transformed into Prince Eric. True Love's Kiss broke the spell!🤴❤🩰

You have a very beautiful name 😂❤ 😉

This is such a wholesome idea to watch reaction videos with ur dad. (Or Mom) Especially in the internet as a beautiful girl... cheeky male audiences will get a little intimidated and wont write flirty comments that easily.... ^^

It's not just that they are loyal. Pippin, Merry, and Frodo are all cousins. :)

Don’t know if you will see this after 6 months but I just discovered you, and I have some recommendations: Modern: Very Potter Musical (not copyrighted) Vintage: 1776 (copyrighted) for the 4th of July

Saw it at when i was 4 and read it when i was 32 i love both

I love how u have tears but don’t show to much emotion to your father just quietly enjoying the film

34:07 isn't that guy the Rohan rider who was killed by a warg rider in the two towers????

Your dad looks & sounds like Brian Cashman.

Your correct! They did take inspiration from that castle in France to make Minas tirith

Smeagol wasn’t a Hobbit. He was similar to one. His ears are pointed & doesn’t have the hairy feet.

beautifully done, Danielle, like also your 1st Paris video... you create easily an atmosphere of nostalgic excitement, and your music choices, underlining it all (Ella & Louis, Tchaikovsky...), are just fantastic... it felt like walking through a movie-esque dreamland, as I imagine, you did feel like - I could almost smell the macaroons and baguettes, and I love, that you are so much into books and libraries, which were truly a sight!! Thank you for taking us/me with you on this trip... I can only agree, and say (sing!): 'I💖Paris' ... 🌇🎶🌆

how dare you not to show charge of rokhirrims

The amount of ads in this reaction takes one out of trying to enjoy this reactor. Guess love for $$$$ is more important

Could you imagine being at a movie theater and the dude next to you just commentating through the whole thing lol

10 years ago 🤭

21:21 ?????

As if you cut out the ride of the rohirrim! Haha the greatest scene in cinema history and you cut it all out 😅

22:45 That was Gandalf’s fault. He should told Pippin to wait outside and watch the horse. (Then told the horse he’s really watching Pippin.)

The Lord of the Rings is a small story in Tolkien's world. Imagine the Silmarillion book turned into a movie series, it contains great stories.

"is frodo the hero?"........Frodo said: "no, but i served in a company of heroes"

Merry was hurt when he stabbed the Witch King in the calf just before Eowyn got hit. Eowyn received a broken arm when the Witch King shattered her shield with that humongous swinging mace. And it was AragoRn, who was (in addition to all his other positive abilities) a Healer.

"WE FIGHT! The Fabulous Green Bubbles Foaming Cleanser -- vanquishes problem orcs with ease!"

This is an awful wizard fight. The best is probably Merlin vs. Madam Mim from the Sword in the Stone, with Morpheus vs Lucifer from The Sandman as a close second. Telekinetic battles like this are kinda a let down, a rare weak point in an excellent movie.

Kudos to Andy Serkis (Gollum/Smeagol) and his gymnastics in the motion-capture suit for Peter Jackson's fun-n-games in the WETA WORKSHOP computer labs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: the extra features on all discs of the extended versions; tons of back-stories and movie-making insights. Have you realized Tolkien was anti-colonialism and anti-industrialization? Hard to believe he also was anti-war. He was pro-nature, pro-forests. "Dark have been my dreams of late." "No parent should have to bury their child."

The 50'-tall(?) statues, made of ... ???

Recall, please, Sauron did NOT DIE when Isildur separated The One Ring from Sauron's hand; clearly, it's said in the script, "Sauron ... was *defeated*." Regarding the LotR wizards' staves and their respective powers: Harry Potter's wand isn't all that large or impressive, but it IS "IN TUNE" WITH THE OWNER; "the wand chooses the wizard"! Such a poignant, forlorn look on Gandalf's face when he hears Frodo say, "I will take the ring into Mordor'; Gandalf knows it's Frodo's fate to actually do so, he laments that fact, oh, so deeply.

All Gandalf knew at first was that Bilbo had a magic ring that let him walk invisible. However, 60 years passed after Bilbo found the Ring without Bilbo showing any sign of aging. No one would ever mistake a 99-year-old man for a 50-year-old man, yet Bilbo looked exactly the same at 111 as he did at 51, when he set out to help a group of Dwarves reclaim their kingdom. Bilbo also eventually began to speak to Gandalf about how much of a weight it had become on his mind. That he was never easy in mind unless he had it with him, but that he was also slightly resentful of how much of his attention it consumed. Gandalf knew that only a Ring of Power had the ability to preserve its bearer from the effects of time. Er go, Bilbo's Ring must be a Ring of Power, not just one of the "lesser" rings that the Elves made when they were practicing to make the Rings of Power. From that point on, it was a simple process of elimination to determine which Ring it was likely to be. Nine given Men, Seven given to the seven Dwarf Clans, Three kept by the Elves, and the One that Sauron forged in secret to dominate all others. Which could it be? Definitely not any of the three Elven rings, because those are all accounted for. Gandalf already knew that Elrond, Galadriel, and himself wore those. Definitely not any of the Nine given to Men, because the nine Men who were first given those rings are *also* still alive and still wearing those rings as the Nine Ringwraiths. Of the Seven rings given to the Dwarves, four were known to have been destroyed by dragonfire (This is because the Dwarves were resistant to evil, so the Rings couldn't overpower them and turn them into wraiths, as had happened with Men, or preserve them from mortality as Bilbo's ring had done for him. Instead, the Dwarven rings influenced their bearers over time to an even greater desire for wealth and treasure than they already had naturally. Wealth very often focuses on gold and large quantities of gold attract dragons. The reason Moria fell to the balrog rather than attracting yet another dragon was because the wealth of Moria lay in mithril rather than gold.). That narrowed the pool of possibilities to either one of the three surviving Dwarven rings or the One Ring. Meanwhile, Gandalf was busy discovering that the culprit who had corrupted The Greenwood into Mirkwood was Sauron, regaining strength and looking to collect all of the Rings of Power, especially his One. Naturally, this put Bilbo in danger, so Gandalf went searching for the only other person who knew Bilbo had a Ring of Power: Gollum. This would allow him to keep Sauron from learning Bilbo's story (although he was too late to prevent this), as well as allow Gandalf to trace where Gollum got the Ring from (which led him to the Gladden Fields, where Isildur died) to ascertain which ring it might be. At this point, I have to deviate from what can be gleaned from the films and mention a piece of evidence that PJ just never brought up for some reason (although, he might have shown it visually in the prologue and I just haven't taken the time to look close and see): from the moment Gandalf realized Bilbo's ring must be a Ring of Power, he already knew which ring it had to be. Of the 9, the 7, and the 3, every single Ring of Power was set with an appropriate gemstone to correspond with its particular properties. Only Sauron's Ruling Ring was a plain gold band with no gemstone. However, this put Bilbo in so much danger that Gandalf was actually trying to be in denial for a while and collecting as much evidence as he could. Isildur's suggestion that the Ring missed the heat of Sauron's hand and that fire might recall the lettering on it was just the final confirming test of a truth Gandalf dreaded to admit to himself. Once he had done so, Bilbo's plan to leave the Ring behind when he retired to Rivendell and the fact that he actually did so gave Gandalf hope that the Ring might not entirely override a peaceful will.

The music itself will always remain close to my heart

I've tried watching your reactions and I just can't. You chop it into just a second or two of each scene that it's horrible. I get copyright fears, but you really must find a better way. This is un-viewable.

Arwen gave up her immortality to be with Aragorn. After his death, she returned to Lorien and laid down and passed away to the Halls of Mandos

Regarding what @cipix37 said about Arwen dying (I don't know if you can tagg ppl here): Erond himself was born a half-Elf (half human) - The Valar/Eru Ilúvatar did not find this an acceptable state of affairs - You're either an immortal Elf, or you're a Man, with The Gift of Man (which I mentioned in other post) - Elrond and his twin brother Elros had to choose between being counted among Men, or among Elves - Erond choose to be an Elf, Elros* choose to be Man. I say this because that is generally interpreted as being the reason for why Arwen could choose mortality - That the choice was extended a generation from Elrond (and was also a special case, being a part of Ilúvatars/God's Plan). Because of Arwen's choice, her's and Elrond's separation would really be Forever, which explains Elronds anguish - If Elves die, they are eventually returned to the world of the living and reunited with their families - But by being able to choose mortality, she was able to Choose to receive The Gift Of Man - Her immortal soul was henceforth forever separated from her Elven family, to go to that Secret Place that human souls go to after death (The Secret place known only to Eru Ilúvatar - God). *Aragorn and his people are distant descendants of Elros - Even though Elros chose to be counted among men, his descendants (Numenorians) were granted longer life than normal humans - Hence why Aragorn in the movie could be 87 years old and still be fairly young (though this longer life span had already decreased by the time of the books, due to mixing with other peoples - Regular people of Gondor have none of this extended life-span, and most nobles only to very limited extent, since they are mostly of non-numenorian descent). Lastly: Gandalf and the other "Wizards" were Maiar (angels), being sent in the guise of old men to guide the humans in their struggle against Sauron. There were 5 "Wizards" in total sent. These "Wizards" were allowed to guide/council only, not act directly against Sauron or seek positions of power for themselves. The Wizards were sent after the battle that the first movie started out with, when Sauron was seemingly defeated. Only Gandalf succeeded in staying true to his mission. Sauron and that Balrog ("Demon of the Ancient World") that the Fellowship ran into in Moria were themselves Maiar - Fallen Angles, essentially - In service of Morgoth, who is imprisoned in the Void until the Last Days. Morgoth was originally called Melkor, and was the first and Mightiest of the Valar (Arch Angels) - I think you can see the parallel... Wall of Text: Over.

"The Undying lands" is the continent of Aman (and the Island Tol Eressëa) - The undying lands can no longer be reached through conventional means,, since the fall of Numenor, when the king of Numenor led his people in war/in rebellion against Eru Ilúvatar (God)/The Valar (essentially arch Angels), demanding eternal life - In response, Eru llúvatar sank the island of Numenor beneath the ocean and reshaped the world, so that only Elven ships could sail across the sea from Middle-Earth and reach Aman. I do not agree that The Undying Lands are Elven heaven (even though what is essentially this universes Angels live there) - not exactly. The land is "Undying" because those who live there are immortal - I would perhaps agree that The Undying lands are somewhat like a continent sized more advanced Garden of Eden - For Elves - Galadriel e.g., was born in the Undying Lands - It is not afterlife. If an elf is killed in some fashion, their souls travel to The Halls of Mandos - Eventually (with few exceptions), how long depending on how they have lived their lives etc, they are returned to the world in the flesh, to go on living their immortal lives. The souls of the Dwarves also end in The Halls of Mandos after their deaths (different place within the halls), but they are not returned to the flesh, since they are not immortal - At least not until Armageddon (sort of). Bilbo and Frodo (and Sam) will not live in The Undying Lands for the rest of time - Being hobbits, they are counted among the Second of Ilúvatar's Children (Man) and are thus entitled to The Gift of Man - The Gift of Man = Being Mortal, and with that, when they die, their souls go to...well, that is not revealed - Only Eru Ilúvatar knows the answer to that (even the Valar are denied that knowlege) - But it is described as being greater than the immortality that the First Children (Elves) of Ilúvatar were given, not lesser. I will quite my Wall of Text now, but I hope that answered some of your/your fathers questions.

Elrond has the gift of foresight and thus it is passed to his children to an extent. Thats why Arwen was able to see a glimpse of her future. Elrond's Great Great grandmother was Melian, a Maiar (one of the demi-god that helped shape/ create the world of Arda). That makes Elrond 1/32 Maiar and Arwen, 1/64 Maiar and Aragon is part of that line but too far removed as the Line of Elros(Elrond's twin brother) has slowly diminished through several generations.

The Three Elven Rings of Power and the Palantiri(the Seeing Stones held by Saruman and the one in Minas Tirith) were creations of the Elven House of Feanor, the first High Kings of the Elves. Feanor, son of Finwe (the first High King of the Noldor during the Years of the Two Trees) was a master craftsman who created marvelous creations that drew the admiration of the Valar and the ire of the first Dark Lord Morgoth/ Melkor, a Valar who sought to corrupt his father's creation (the various races of middle earth referred to as the children of Iluvatar who stole the Silmarils from Feanor who in turn led his loyal followers and sons back to Bellariand and Middle Earth to hunt Morgoth. These events led to the first kinslaying where elves led by Feanor massacred their fellow elves in order to obtain passage to Middle Earth. For their deeds the line of Feanor was cursed and banned from returning to Valinor. It is rumored that it was Feanor who created the Palantiri which were in turn gifted by the elves to the Numenorians, and came to the possession of Elendil, the first High KIng of Arnor and Gondor who brought them to Middle Earth after the fall of Numenor and stored them in various towers within his Kingdoms to effect communication across his realm as the second Dark Lord arose in Mordor. Sauron was able to acquire one of the Palantiri and has used it to corrupt the bearers of the rest. The Three Elven Rings were created by Celebrimbor, son of Curufin, son of Feanor. He was the only grandson of Feanor and the greatest smith of the Second Age. He was also the elf who helped the High King of the Dwarves Durin to create the Gates of Moria (the gate we saw in the Fellowship of the Ring that required the 'friend' password to enter). He was initially deceived by Sauron to create the rings but caught on to the deceit and was able to warn the ringbearers, Gil-galad, then High King of the Noldor, Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel; early thus they were not corrupted. But this cost him his life and saw to the distruction of his Elf Realm of Eregion that neighboured Imladris, Elrond's Elf Realm. There is only one surviving member of the family, Malgor the Minstrel another son of Feanor, if you discount the extended family being Galadriel his cousin and Elrond, his grand nephew and once adopted son. He raised Elrond and his twin brother Elros, the first King of Numenor who when given the choice, chose a mortal life and thus the race of Numenor was born through him.

Beautiful✨

Keep up the grind kiddo .views may take time but it will come eventually

Smeagol is a different type of hobbit ..more like neaderthal to homo sapien .,they were bigger and lived closer to men and near rivers and were fishermens while normal hobbits lived in hills and were farmers mostly and are infact scared of water bodies and rivers .well some hobbits like that of pippin were ferry folk and hence he riwed frodo in first movie across the brandywine river also why pippin got affected by the magic ball(palantir or seeing stone)...its kinda like the great migration of men in ohr world and how different races of humans came into being .all races of hobbits their different stories and all all races of all beings and their lore is explained in story form in appendices of the books

this movie does a lot for setting the tone, but also has great deatils hidden. it wasn't until a few years ago that if you look at the ring as a sentient being that can sort of mind-hack people nearby, the story progresses far smoother when bilbo finally released the ring, it didn't simply hit the floor, it thudded with a heavy weight.

The power of the ring is activated in some part by the way the owner acquires it. Bilbo used some trickery to get it, so he was somewhat more susceptible than Frodo, who inherited it legitimately (though the power grows as he approaches Mordor). So personality plays an indirect part. Sam is the least influenced by it -- the least ambitious and the most selfless of the group. I agree with dad that Smeagol's initial response (murder!) is an early indicator that he will likely be a lost cause.
