did christopher lee do an audiobook or something?

why the fk would you aim for the eye when you've poisoned your arrow. Orc's are so dumb god damn.

Sir Christopher Lee could read my bloodwork lab results and make it sound God-like. 😂

Rip my homeboy huor 😭😭😭😭

"AURË ENTULUVA!" ... I cannot imagine a more badass warcry to go out to than this

To Sir Christopher Lee i drink ... "DAY SHALL COME AGAIN"

"There they stood, like a Rock On the Marne"

I can listen to this man read from a phone book

Count Dooku reads Lotr for me

Just started reading more into Tolkien's other works, and this passage is legitimately so inspiring that I think it may have completely changed my view on life. I'm getting "Aure entuluva!" tattooed, so I'll never forget the last stand of Hurin, the greatest warrior of Men.

Intense.... Absolutely incredible, beautiful even.

Very similar to the real last stand of the great ostrogothic king tortilla

This was one of my very favourite moments, from probably my favourite ever book. To hear it read so perfectly by Christopher Lee brings it to life more than ever before! Thank you for posting.

This tale is clearly the exaggerations of many generations of bards and story tellers - some liberal arts middle earth in a later age professor probably.

Remember, the rights to lotr go public domain within your lifetime. Day shall come again for this ip. It will not stay as Rings of Power

Edgy hummie got wot he deserve in my opinion Shout out to my man Gothmog here fr fr

*Undoubtedly Tolkien used the lone viking at Stamford Bridge as the inspiration for Hurin's last stand.*

Wow that was good.

That was an old folk trick to break the barrier between singer and audience.

Christopher Lee could have read the terms and conditions of my phone contract and I'd have been enraptured.

Always wondered what Tulkas, Orome and Ulmo thought as they beheld the last stand of Hurin.

"Well, I'm back."

Just the tone with which he describes, in just a few short words, the death of Huor, a man who never existed, brings a tear to my eye.

Christopher Tolkien sounds so much like his father!

I like this 👌 😌 VOICE !! 😊

Thanks a lot)) So beautiful!

Sit now there; and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come upon those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, Master of the fates of Arda.

I'm brought back once again. Imagine what a wonderful world we could have if everybody lived their lives full of courage like this

Who made this map of Beleriand? It’s very cool, I’ve never seen this version before

Holy fuck I'm weeping

Aurë Entuluva!

Absolute tears, here. I thought of how - though they all were so close - they were all "fractured" at the end. Frodo - and eventually Sam - off to the Grey Havens. Legolas and Gimli to the Undying Lands. Merry and Pippin buried next to Aragorn in Rath Dinnen. Arwen completely alone in Loth Lorien. I hope their spirits are all together once more, though . . .

@filipposme thank YOU. this was very special.

Imagine saying “I have a harmonica Bob Dylan played”

I wonder if Saruman and Gandalf fought together in the War of Wrath against Morgoth.

RIP Bernard Hill

I pray to have Hurins heart.

Wow I feel like I was standing in the room with the white wizard and he was telling old lore to me

The House of Hador shall know claim retribution against the Fell Enemy if unto the end of all things must their spirits await the call to one final duty and mission, and Hurin and Turin shall stand at the fore of their valiant host.

So glad to hear this. This is my second favorite excerpt from this book. "Last of all, Huren stood alone...."

Hearing the voice of Sir Christopher Lee narrate one of the one most memorable parts of the Silmarillion really does bring the story to life. Of all the actors who could’ve played Saruman I’m glad it was someone who loved the Tolkien Legendarium as much as he did

This is one of the most beautiful things ever written

To me he reads it almost like he didn’t write it. Reminds me of when my dad would read stories to my sisters and myself: when the tone of the story was humorous or silly he’d add in his own pauses, goofy voices, be very rubato with his tempo. But when the story was serious, he would just speak in his normal voice. No added animation, just himself. Tolkien reads like the story was written well before his time, like he’s citing it now once again to a younger counterpart to emphasize a point about having courage or having hope in bleak times. I always read this story that way, like it’s more about the lessons than the actual story itself. It doesn’t need to be slowed for effect, it doesn’t need to be animated, it just needs to be him telling me to have fierce courage in my own life.

Everytime i see it, i read or i hear it.. goosebumps. The ride of the Rohirrim is one of the most epic moment in literature and movies.

The shot to the eye echoes Harold at Hastings

THERE THEY STOOD... AND GAVE WAY NO MORE...

to me this seems to hearken back to the 17th century siege of Vienna which ended with the largest cavalry charge in history

Worth noting that two people in the Legendarium were compared to Orome. Fingolfin, mightiest of the High Kings of the Noldor riding in wrath to Angband after the Battle of Sudden Flame in such might and terror that even Morgoth feared to take his challenge and then Theoden, a mortal man.

I just can't get enough of this. I keep coming back to it. Such an epic scene and a wonderful picture of willfully choosing to maintain hope despite a hopeless situation.
