I really love how at first, with just a look, he's able to convey both relief at the ring not being in the Shire and regret, that he hasn't actually found the One Ring. Then just as quickly it changes when Frodo says wait, and his face becomes darkly hopeful, both dread and hope that he might have been right. All with just expressions
I love that look of relief on Gandalf's face when Frodo says "there's nothing" And I love that second look on his face as soon as Frodo says "wait...", I can practically hear Gandalf's internal monologue of "Goddammit"
Real. Cause his face in these two seconds is an entire character arc. He thought this was a Lesser Ring, so he is relieved, then upon hearing Frodo saying "wait", he is first suprised, because... What are the chances of it being the One Ring, right? They were were astronomically small in his mind. Like WHAT THE HELL? The Hobbits have had the One Ring all these years? Then you can see his mind click! FUCK! Gollum was the lead and his account actually makes sesne, so he isn't the only one in the know, followed by a sliver of anger probably directed at himself for not figuring it out when Biblo filled up the "One Ring" bingo card in front of him some time ago, where he could have prevented this, realizing that he DID NOT in fact prevent the events that are about to transpire, and then immidiately his face turns to utter despair because he realizes that the Ring being found means that the Dark Lord is back... HOLY SHIT!
@@TheThOdOr1sIn Gandafs mind, the chances that Bilbo's ring was the one, were only astronomically small 60 decades ago, when bilbo first found it. You forget that up until that point, Gandalf had been searching for lore on the ring, for 17 years straight. The records of Isildur, even in the movie, suggest that Isildur used to play with the ring to find it's secrets, like putting it into fire. But after awhile it's hold over him became stronger, and he could no longer even risk putting it in a fire that had no chances of destroying it.
@@namewastaken2496 That was my first thought as well, as if it was an echo. But Zigûr was Sauron's name in Númenor, which means "wizard" in Númenorian. That gives another spin to the whisper, as Gandalf - a wizard - is present. But both perspectives are equally cool!
The fact that the ring whispers "Zigur," which is Sauron in the Numenorean language, is such a small but very impressive detail by Jackson and the writers.
Gandalf's thoughts: Oh good, it's really just an essay in the craft. There's no-. Frodo: Wait...there are markings on it. Gandalf's thoughts: ...Eru dammit!
What blows my mind is that in the actual books…from the time Gandalf leaves the shire to go investigate the history of the ring after Bilbos birthday party…17 YEARS PASS. It’s literally 17 years before he shows back up to the shire, finding Frodo (who is 50 years old already at this point) and tells him it is indeed the one ring and it must be destroyed and the journey begins from there. But I always loved how Tolkien had very realistic views on time and space in his world. Gandalf is an immortal being, so 17 years is literally like a week to him, and tracing the History of the ring that is thousands upon thousands of years old and had changed hands and been lost multiple times…finally he comes to the clue that fire will make writing appear upon the band. That’s when he journeys back to the shire. But it’s such a task that it takes him nearly 2 decades (and during this time he and aragorn actually captured Sméagol, Aragon takes him to the halls of king thranduil, Legolas father, the same dungeons we see in the hobbit movies…only for Sméagol to escape). So yea I always loved how Tolkien portrayed the MASSIVE amounts of time that passed between major events in his story. Obviously for a 3 hour film Jackson had to make it seem like Gandalf was only gone for a few weeks or so and came right back, which works better for the film obviously but nothing beats the books.
This is especially interesting due to the fact that because it was indeed the One Ring, it explains why Frodo still appears as he did when he was 33 when he is 50; The Ring had stopped his aging like it did with Bilbo, adding to the effect of it seeming like only a few weeks had passed between Gandalf's visits to the Shire.
Yeah, I've had a hard time fathoming that timespan. And, on the opposite side of the coin, it's always surprised me that the Battles of the Hornburg and of the Pelennor Fields were less than two weeks apart. Those poor Rohirrim barely had a chance to breathe, huh?
Yes. There's the slower ageing process granted to Frodo by the One Ring. But also, Hobbits have a rather impressive lifespan, even when compared to normal men like us. They can easily live up to a hundred years old and in some cases, even more (the Old Took himself lived up to 130 Years, and Bilbo Baggins up to 131 Years, and those two set the all time longevity record). If we take into consideration the length of such a lifespan age, fifty years old for Bilbo or any other Hobbit can be seen as the real world's thirty years old. To top it all, Hobbits are heavy pipe smokers and ale drinkers, and yet they outlive us by an average lifespan of at least twenty five years more.
Gandalf had actually visited Frodo a few times in between, it wasn't a solid 17 years from leaving on Bilbos birthday and returning to tell Frodo about the ring.
In the book Gandalf isn't hesitant to take the ring with his hands and handle it. In the movie he's extremely hesitant to even touch it. I don't know, I actually like the movie's choice more. It just emphasizes how dangerous the ring is, when even Gandalf doesn't want to touch it.
If the ring can turned mere mortals into Nazghuls, then what do you think will happen if Gandalf, one of the most powerful wizards in Middle-Earth corrupted by the ring's power?
At least Tolkien explained that Sauron spent thousands of years gathering his scattered essence, building up armies, reviving his servants, etc. Not just a lame excuse to make a sequel 😂
Sauron never died, not even when he was defeated by Isildur. He was fully capable of existing without a corporeal body since he was a Maia. Besides, his life force was bound to the Ring; that’s why the destruction of the Ring meant his own destruction. And in the books, he does NOT take the form of a flaming eye; the eye is more metaphorical. It is implied that he did create a new body for himself within Barad-dur.
You gotta realize what they were doing. They didn’t have the money to pay for the heavy players; all of these guys were unknown. Except for one. They had one guy to rely on. One guy to express it. One guy to deliver it all and in the fandom bind them. And that was Sir Ian McKellen. They KNEW they didn’t have a dime for Brad Pitt as Aragorn or some shit. They knew they needed someone to deliver what seemed a whole heap of bullshit to sell the idea of a ring being the face of evil, a threat big enough for all of the races of middle-earth to come together to defeat. They chose Sir Ian McKellen, and they knew what they were doing.
@@kreigguardsman3355 Not just met him, they were good friends. Tolkien said that if they ever make a movie, Christopher should play Gandalf. He had complete memory of the books, word by word, and that's also why there are so many quotes straight from it, he would correct them during the shooting and quote exact passages. Peter Jackson or maybe someone else said that Christopher on the set was like the ghost of Tolkien walking among us.
Elijah Wood, Christopher Lee, Liv Tyler and Hugo Weaving were well known actors at that time. Others, such as Ian Holm were acclaimed stage actors. All roles were exceptionally well cast and acted, relying on skill rather than fame. And it worked magnificantly!
I think a youtuber explained how Gandalf determined that it was possibly the one ring, but it took a significant amount of time in the books, however Gandalf was still unsure until Frodo said there was writing, before that Gandalf just knew it was a powerful artifact and might have just been another one of the other rings of power. To be fair there might have been enough doubt as Bilbo literally let the ring go something that was said to be impossible if it is the one ring.
The main deal with every evil creation in LOTR is that it was all made by Morgoth, the prime enemy, in mockery of everything good. So the Speech of the Enemy was like an elven language turned upside-down or backward. It still carries the flourish of the written word it was based on but twisted for evil.
The language is twisted but the letters are Elvish. It was forged in a time when Sauron was appearing to the Elves as a fair Lord of Gifts who promised rings that would help them rule. Using Elvish letters for a horrible curse was his way of mocking their naive desires that he had taken advantage of.
The script is called Tengwar, made originally for Quenya , the language of the 1st house Vanyar and 2nd House Noldor, and was the most elite language and script devised. Sauron coveted it to give inscriptedness to the cursed speech of Mordor he made for the tongues of his minions, and memorialized this mockery of beauty and ingenuity upon his greatest forgery, the One Ring of Power.
The early parts of the movie is so dark I instantly fell in love with it. This small scene give me the chills I had when I was a kid watching it in the cinemas.
This one item is the basis for the whole "artifacts and relics" category of magic items in 1st edition D&D, and is also the basis for the concept of the Lich's Phylactery, which among other things was used as an inspiration for horcruxes. All from this one item in one trilogy.
“He is seeking it… seeking it. All his thought is bent on it.” That line gives me chills. Just imagine this potent power, this dark ruler that is seen as the ultimate evil with immense power. You’re told he is diverting ALL HIS POWER and thought onto this small item you hold in your hand. He’s coming for it and the only thing you can do is hide it and keep ahead of him the best you can…
I always used to wonder why the Ring reacts when Frodo claims that Sauron was destroyed. I believe it has to do with who Sauron is at his core. A being who delights in spreading despair to others. By doing so demonstrating his cunning and power. In that moment he calls out. Revealing to Frodo that what he just said is truly false, crushing whatever notion that he is dead on the spot. He feels no need to hide, given Gandalf is going to tell Frodo anyways. More than that, he calls out to Gandalf. Playing against Gandalf's clear struggle to resist the ring. Which of course causes it's own form of despair. It is multilayered, to Frodo it is just a specter whispering in his ear. To Gandalf it is the ring of power tempting him. It carries different meanings to both, and most of it is lost on Frodo. However that too, I feel Sauron delighted in...
With only a brief expo dump in the start and the performance of Sir Ian Mckennon and the cinematography we are made to believe that the tiny ring is the most evil thing in the world
The visible look of relief to dissapointment on Gandalf’s face when Frodo tells him first about seeing nothing to seeing the engravings on the Ring really tells you how much he didn’t want it to be THE One Ring. Not out of denial, but he genuinely didn’t want Frodo, Bilbo, or The Shire, in general, personally wrapped up in the whole history with Sauron. It’s an empathetic side of Gandalf’s character that I truly love.
It's not the Ring that scares him, it's what it can and will do to him. Even the purest soul can be corrupted by this foul, evil thing. Good becomes evil, generosity becomes greed, kindness becomes selfishness and in the hands of one as powerful and well-intentioned as Gandalf.........well, it would be like Yoda as a Sith Lord.
the explosion of fear by frodo when he knows when they are coming after the ring is impalpable by anything else. TAKE IT! YOU MUST TAKE IT! they couldve easilky just had this scene not in but they included the discovery and fear is very great.
The language is that of Mordor which I shall not utter here…proceeds to scream out like 60 seconds of black speech in the middle of Rivendell surrounded by a handful of the most influential and powerful people in middle earth…literally caused the sun to go dark and a minor earthquake shook the buildings…and nearly made Elronds head explode 😂😂
Just rewatched the film and I never caught that when they're talking about Sauron and the ring whispers, both of them look at it simultaneously. It's like '...wait, did you just hear what I did?'
Man Bilbo thoaght its just a ring or magic ring . Never would think or Anyone its the ring of the most or one of the most dangerous dark lords of all time
He can’t touch it. Gandalf is one of the most powerful beings on middle earth. If he took it and it took control of his mind he would become another dark lord like Sauron. Nobody would be able to stop him except maybe Sauron himself.
If he doesn’t know for sure it’s ‘the one’ how does he know it’s ‘quite cool’ and it won’t burn Frodo Edit: Gandalf is quite certain it is a ring of power wether or not it is ‘the one’, as he knows the events of the Hobbit, the invisibility it grants Bilbo and the life extending properties it gave bilbo and Gollum. And the fact they both couldn’t give it up. He even warns bilbo about the dangers of magic rings
Not for certain up until this moment. He is 99% sure, there is 1% possibility that Bilbo is just blessed with long lives and healthy body. There is 1% possibility that Gollum is a big fat liar and where he found it is just big coincidence.
Could it be that the ring tempts everyone affecting more or less but doing it anyways, and the ring tested Gamdalf when Frodo offered the ring and Gandalf passed the test of falling under the control.of the ring?
ooh it always bugged me that in the closeups of the ring at 1:50 and 3:14 there's a bump or mound or smudge on the ring's rim at four o'clock. With a perfectly smooth ring this would have been the greatest movie of all time but with that smudge, don't get me wrong it's still a great movie, but it demotes it a little to the level of Road House, or Sharknado
I still dont get why they say 60 years in gollum possesion when gollum found the ring around 2443 and ring is destroyed in 3013 or sum how does this work? Didnt they mean 500 years ?
Sir Ian Mckellen’s acting here is particularly superb

Not out of denial, but he genuinely didn’t want Frodo, Bilbo, or The Shire, in general, personally wrapped up in the whole history with Sauron. It’s an empathetic side of Gandalf’s character that I truly love.
Frodo: “But he was destroyed. Sauron was destroyed!”
The ring at 2:33: U Wot, M8?
It's not the Ring that scares him, it's what it can and will do to him. Even the purest soul can be corrupted by this foul, evil thing. Good becomes evil, generosity becomes greed, kindness becomes selfishness and in the hands of one as powerful and well-intentioned as Gandalf.........well, it would be like Yoda as a Sith Lord.
Oh door.
the explosion of fear by frodo when he knows when they are coming after the ring is impalpable by anything else. TAKE IT! YOU MUST TAKE IT! they couldve easilky just had this scene not in but they included the discovery and fear is very great.
“Hold out your hand, it’s quite cool” yeah, my uncle said the same thing…
The language is that of Mordor which I shall not utter here…proceeds to scream out like 60 seconds of black speech in the middle of Rivendell surrounded by a handful of the most influential and powerful people in middle earth…literally caused the sun to go dark and a minor earthquake shook the buildings…and nearly made Elronds head explode 😂😂
Just rewatched the film and I never caught that when they're talking about Sauron and the ring whispers, both of them look at it simultaneously. It's like '...wait, did you just hear what I did?'
The fact they heard his voice through the ring is terrifying.
2:30-2:35 the creepiest part of LOTR as Frodo mentions Sauron and the ring starts talking as it heard it’s master’s name
I always get chills when I hear "There are few who can."
"He's Seeking it, Seeking it, ALL his thought is bent on it"
SPEAK IS MY FAVORITE PART I FIND IT HILARIOUS WHOEVER DID THE ACTOR OF GANDOLF DID A GREAT A GREAT JOB
Well the ring has now officially been found for real irl sort of. In the form of an mtg card.
And The One Ring is now in the hands of Post Malone.
so meditative
0:55 his hand dips as if the ring is much heavier than expected?
He was prepared for it to be hot and it wasn't.
Its actually says in book that ring is heavier that its look...
1:56-2:00 Forced Perspective with Pan. Incredible props, set technology, and cinematography to achieve just four seconds of relative size illusion.

"But he was destroyed. Sauron was destroyed!"
Sauron in black speech "Nnnnope!"
Somehow, Sauron returned
2:37 ... Gosh...
In the common tongue it says....
....one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, *and in the darkness bind them.*
@@J_C_CHThis is the One Ring, forged by the Dark Lord Sauron in the fires of Mount Doom, taken by Isildur from the hand of Sauron himself.
... handcrafted by the finest Orc jewellers in our cozy workshop in Mt. Doom.
The ring wishes it had google location ! 😝
My God SIM is amazing in these movies.
Man Bilbo thoaght its just a ring or magic ring . Never would think or Anyone its the ring of the most or one of the most dangerous dark lords of all time
It's quite cool. Hands it to him with tongs!
He can’t touch it. Gandalf is one of the most powerful beings on middle earth. If he took it and it took control of his mind he would become another dark lord like Sauron. Nobody would be able to stop him except maybe Sauron himself.
Is very special this ring must be destroyed yes of course by Frodo very well done beautiful photography scene
One ring to roll bey all lord of the rings
Sin of all men candle 🕯 ring of power
If he doesn’t know for sure it’s ‘the one’ how does he know it’s ‘quite cool’ and it won’t burn Frodo
Edit: Gandalf is quite certain it is a ring of power wether or not it is ‘the one’, as he knows the events of the Hobbit, the invisibility it grants Bilbo and the life extending properties it gave bilbo and Gollum. And the fact they both couldn’t give it up. He even warns bilbo about the dangers of magic rings
Not for certain up until this moment. He is 99% sure, there is 1% possibility that Bilbo is just blessed with long lives and healthy body. There is 1% possibility that Gollum is a big fat liar and where he found it is just big coincidence.
Gadalin on oras 💍 ring of power
1:26 About read the Silmarillion to the end
Sounds like a wedding ring to me.
That's the point.
Sauron's main tool is deception, and making the One Ring looked like an ordinary ring worked wonders.

The Ring is basically a horcrux lol
A much much much more powerful one. A normal horcrux doesn't enhance your natural abilities and greatly extend your life.

If there's a bit of cinema that's better than this I'd love to know. This was the peak of cinema and it was 20 years ago.
"Isildur" say the ring
Could it be that the ring tempts everyone affecting more or less but doing it anyways, and the ring tested Gamdalf when Frodo offered the ring and Gandalf passed the test of falling under the control.of the ring?
The Ring temps literally everybody in Middle Earth barring Tom Bombadil and no one know what he is.
ooh it always bugged me that in the closeups of the ring at 1:50 and 3:14 there's a bump or mound or smudge on the ring's rim at four o'clock. With a perfectly smooth ring this would have been the greatest movie of all time but with that smudge, don't get me wrong it's still a great movie, but it demotes it a little to the level of Road House, or Sharknado
Always thought how terribly British this scene is. They both know shit is about to go down but still have time for a cuppa!
The best trilogy
Was Gandalf really not sure it was the one ring, or did he have a big idea and was somewhat in denial in hopes that it wasn’t?

I have the real fellowship ring from lord of rings
Gandalf WHY are you grabbing Frodo from the shadow and growling at him? What a clown.
I still dont get why they say 60 years in gollum possesion when gollum found the ring around 2443 and ring is destroyed in 3013 or sum how does this work? Didnt they mean 500 years ?
I think you misheard. Gandalf said 60 years it kept quite in Bilbos keeping, not Gollums.
@@stevesmith1383 he clearly says gollum lol.
@@kaizikorugwm9251 ….not sure what to tell you if your hearing is that poor. He clearly says Bilbo at the 2:13 mark
2:10 60 years earlier was before the hobbit film the unexpected journey
the ring.the vatican?mecca?1 ring to find them and in the darkness bind them
Is it canon that ring actually speaks ??
It didn't really speak but put ideas or thoughts.
3 mins and still better than the damn series
