Galadriel is fat

يا إلهي . أحسست بالدوار رجعت للماضي . ماذا فعلتم بي

Ah, back when I was a kid and I knew little of life. This captivated my young mind.

It looks more like a Don Bluth movie if you ask me. 😮

2:51 in other words “get out”

-ARUMAM Ouch! That Hurts 😂

*DO NOT TOUCH THE WATER!*

I miss this style of animation

Very informative! Wonderful video👍

I think Galadriel was a very passionate and energetic person. It would be her style of communication to laugh much and generally be very cheerful - but at the same time she would instill awe and even fear, admiration and, perhaps, lust even (remember Feanor). And she would use it to manipulate people. It's a very conflicting set of traits and difficult to play. But that's a task for a great actress. I understand that such subtleties were no concern of the director but that's a pity. No one understands Galadriel, and I think she's the main character not just in LotR, but in all Tolkien's works on Middlearth. Rings of Power had a chance to tackle this character but they absolutely ruined her. Galadriel is not GOOD. She is GREY - has always been. She has a plan, a vision and tries to achieve those goals. As I understand, Tolkien thought that this grand vision of how the world should be always leads to "the dark side". She is balancing on the brink of it. And the moment in LotR is pivotal as she has a chance to fulfill her plan. I think Sauron wanted precisely this. He didn't need the Ring to conquer Middlearth. He needed it to be used by an elf lord, so he would gain power over the elves. He pushed things so that the elves believed that there was no way out except for using the Ring. If she had succumbed, Sauron would not just have possessed her (albeit partly and slowly), but also he would have held the fates of all the elven race (for such was the original power of rings - to collect the destinies of all the free peoples and use them for stalling the decay of Middlearth, and Galadriel had an elven ring). I think that for her to fight this battle of spirit with smile was only natural. It was mentioned by Tolkien that she actually didn't look as a great ruler all the time (unlike, say, Elrond), she didn't need to show her dignity and majesty (she might even afford to look a little silly). Overall, I think Bakshi's vision was a little simplistic (as it becomes a cartoon), but it was closer to how I imagine Galadriel. PJ's version was too "Hollywood" for me. There was no subtlety, no powerful acting. I believe the fewer special effects, the better. Actors must act, show things with their face, their voice, their posture. There must be more camera work, lighting, scenery. All these things are becoming unnecessary - seemingly - with CGI, but in fact now they are needed more than ever.

Yay commercials every 2 minutes 🙄

Galadriel is chiding Frodo for offering her the ring, not happily surprised at the idea of having it. And she “long desired” to know if she’d pass the test, if presented the opportunity, she didn’t long desire to have and use the ring. She, like Gandalf, knew it would be bad to have in their possession. Jackson et al didn’t seem to understand this.

who the hell is "arrowman?"

Honestly, this is much better than the Jackson version.

Don't worry Sauron won't find us. Take a look at these cool light rays coming out of my ring

_“This is the mirror of Galadriel. It shows things that were, and things that are, and things that yet may be. Do you wish to look?”_ “This is Jon Snow. He’s king in the North.”_

This is the PC of EliteTeamKiller. It shows things that are on the internet.

the idea of rotoscope fantasy is still so amazing to me. imagine the people/elves are all rotoscoped but they hand draw the orcs and ents and such to give them that other worldly feel. like something out of a story book

I like how in Jackson’s film she goes all crazy when Frodo offers her the ring. But here she just laughs it off like ‘ah that’s cute. But no that thing is kinda dangerous so maybe keep it away from me.’

Where is Eye of Sauron?

Thanks for continuing to share this method and examples. We started teaching the Seldon method a few years ago when you first published your videos and had the best English Standard results ever at our school. Due lots of disruption and staff changes, we dropped off with it and I'm trying to reintroduce again after having recently read the CESE document. Being an English teacher, I really appreciate seeing the English examples and love looking at the teacher resources/student books. Is there any chance you could share a bit more about how it works in HSIE and Science subjects?

Great video

Love the content sir 👍

I like her laughing at Frodo's proposal. In the Peter Jackson movie, Galadriel is still deeply shaken and tempted by the offer and its prospect. In contrast, the almost sassy laughter in this version seems to indicate that this version of Galadriel has already pondered the idea to the end and rejected it for herself. Even though it seems slightly goofy how she's so light-hearted in her dismissal of something of such gravity, it shows her as someone who has already overcome this kind of desire for power, and is thus in a way wiser than her live action counterpart.

Brilliant brilliant acting from Sheen, so poignant, and dare I say so much deeper and more moving than Peter Finch in the 1968 version. Sheen just makes you feel his agony.

Blank slate cost 437 million... Mainly because you have nothing eles of value

Bathsheba was awful and Gabriel deserved better.

Anyone else think this version and Cate Blanchett's version are genius in their own ways?

As much as I adore Cate Blanchett in all of her roles, I have to say the eerie calm and giddy laughter in this rendition of Galadriel is far more terrifying.

I remember someone saying that Galadriel wouldn't be allowed back into the West until after she gave up power, since she was initially banished from there for trying to become a queen...

1:16 literally waits right before he touches it

The term "Ghirlandéina" refers to the "Ghirlandina" which is the Bell Tower of the Cathedral of Modena and which has become the symbol of the city. It owes its name to the double row of railings that adorn it as if they were garlands. The song is not in Italian but in the regional language (Emiliano) spoken in that city.

I wish Jackson would have presented Galadriel this way instead of her dramatically walking around and talking in riddles. I found her unlikable.

You understand if we don’t find a stiff out here we leave a fresh one

" it must be Aruman " 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀.

World of warcraft on the desktop there 😆

Thank you for all of the resources you and the school have shared regarding bubble theory. I'm a teacher in NZ trying to get this rolled out in our English department.

Am i crazy or does she kinda look like young Jamie lee curtis?😂

I really love galadriels design, in this lighting especially, she really looks pretty

Michael Sheen - what skill! Amazing.

This Galadriel is SO much better than the movie version.

She looks so 70s I love it

I was so sad for him. She hurt him, on purpose, just because he ignored her. 😞

It’s not a bad adaptation, but my heart hurts when I see what they did to Sam

2:20

There's an important lesson here about the temptations of power, even on small scales. Also, the One Ring is like certain drugs, or rather the effects of certain drugs on certain people. Power over others is itself a kind of drug that can compromise judgement.

In this version i can actually understand what galadriel is saying when she was tested. lol. The animation is so lifelike and masterful , amazing and beautiful!!! todays hand drawn animation has nothing on this(Not including cgi graphics of course lol.).

great scene 🎬 Thanks for posting 🙏 ...thing about love is it's so broken n'self sacrificing ...n'still, the satisfaction one gets from it, whether it's between two lovers or many, or even none at all,... ...can be the most transcendent and spiritually moving things anyone can ever be a part of// In movies anyway... ha🎥

While Kate did a very good job in the role of Galadriel, I have often wished that they could have found an actress as beautiful as this animated one.

Brilliant acting..Michael Sheen is amazing in this scene. So heartbreaking 💔 😢 and Matthias as Gabriel is a treat to watch.
