    “There’s some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for” is not a fantasy line. This is a real line that applies to the real world. As dark as things can seem, both on the big, country or even global scale and on the small, personal, day-to-day scale, there is good and there is always hope. Sometimes we have to fight for it, whether for ourselves or for others, but it is always a fight worth fighting. I still have hope and believe in good.

      @@mckenzie.latham91 I'd be careful to rely solely on reviews and high ratings when they have little merit on the quality of Rings of Power when its nothing but blind praise. The show is abysmal and a mess and there is merit to these claims if you look deeper into the issues than just limiting yourself because of "politically oriented channel. (Not that im saying these types of channels have their issues they definitely do, but with how big the internet is, that doesn't mean there isnt someone out there that has solid evidence. You just have to look.) And if you want a breakdown of Rings of Power you check out a channel called "RandomFilmTalks." He provides a awesome analysis of what's wrong with ring of power and why the worldbuilding, characters, etc do not work. And it's strictly focusing on the story. You can take it in chunks since they can be long videos but I am confident you might get more out of it if you choose to👍

    Uruk-hai are purpose-built for overwhelming force and combined arms tactics. Their strength is significant, forgoing the need for most siege engines, hence the ladders flying up so fast, with berserkers to clear the landing zone too. Their pikes help with this too, fitting around the rungs to help push them at range. They capitalize instantly on any footholds they get, the second they punch a hole in the gate they're already shooting crossbows at point blank. Crossbows hit HARD at close range already but again, their strength, while not always in mind has incredibly important benefits for everything they do. Their crossbows are going to be a LOT more powerful, keep in mind this is the first battle for most of them, their drill and tactics alone puts them ahead of any other army in middle earth. It always bothered me how long the archers waited before loosing, but the amount of armor they have to deal with truly diminishes the effective range of arrows.

    Elrond and Aragorn are actually related. At the end of the First Age, the Valar (beings in charge) forced the Peredhil (half-elves) to choose what race they would be numbered among. Elrond chose the elves and became immortal. His twin. Elros, chose humanity and became the first king of Numenor. Because of the bravery of men in the war against Morgoth (the original Big Bad), the Valar granted the Numenoreans a three-fold span of life. They regularly lived over 200 years. The Ring of Barahir that Aragorn wears was passed down the generations from the First Age through the Second Age to the Third Age (approx. 10,160 years). In the lore, Aragorn gave the ring to Arwen when they committed themselves to a life together after a 37-year courtship. But what's 37 years when you are already 2,739. Hence, Aragorn would not have been wearing the ring when he arrived at Edoras. There would have been no ring for Grima to see.

    One of the differences from book to movie that really bothered me was Faramir. And by watching this I see everyone seems to agree. Faramir never took Frodo then let him go later. He did the right thing the first time. It always bothered me cause it changes the moral of one of the most honorable characters in the story. I enjoyed seeing it be a point that bothered everyone cause it felt like it proved me right 😁😂

      They needed a conflict for Sam and Frodo to end Movie 2 and that required Faramir to be the designated antagonist.

      one thing that bothers me, is that people who never read the books don't know what Sam's "box of Shire salt" really contained. It actually was Galadriel's gift to Sam and it plays a role in the part of the books Jackson left out. another is the whole Grima Wormtongue thing, the book has so many subtleties that a movie doesn't have time for.

    • @TheZapan99
      @TheZapan99 ปีที่แล้ว

      The whole death and resurrection of Gandalf is one of the most religious elements of LOTR. Gods were color-coded in Northern Europe, so Gandalf the Grey is associated with Odin the Wanderer on his quest for knowledge (Denethor even calls him Gandalf Storm Crow, the Bringer Bad News, as a nod to Odin's Ravens). Then Gandalf dies and is reborn as the White, the color associated with Jesus Christ, and he goes on to save the world. Tolkien literally weaved the transition from Paganism to Christianity in the character of Gandalf.

      It's about on par with how they did the ents dirty for me.
      The frustrating part is, as a writer, I can see how they got to where they felt the need to make those changes.
      Because Jackson wanted to move Shelob to coincide with the Siege of Gondor, he needed to add in material to plug in that newly created gap in the timeline. Forcing Frodo to participate in the constant back and forth over Osgiliath is an easy conclusion to get to.
      So how do you get him there? Just have Faramir suffer from a slight case of corruption, and the timeline is "fixed."
      Like I said, I think it was a bad decision on their part, but I can see why they did it.

    I've watched LOTR more times than I can even fathom. Now in a filmmakers perspective, the Lord of the Rings has PERFECT comedic moments. Because the hopelessness and despair is so prevalent and well done throughout the films, these funny moments, like Gimli's axe in the head, is freaking hysterical. But not just really funny, but it feels like a hopeful laugh knowing there is more evil around the corner.
    Tolkien was adamant about not glamorizing war in LOTR, but showing the pain and suffering it brings. Peter Jackson nailed that feeling which enriched the comedy, which then enriched the pain of war. AH! Writing perfection!!!!
