The strand is a sign of Gimli's admiration for Galadriel, who had previously disliked elves in general. Gimli's gift is also so significant because he wasn't the first to ask for some of Galadriel's hair. Long before that, her elf friend and creator of the Silmarils, Feanor, asked for a lock of hair, but she refused, feeling negative in him. But she made a generous gift for Gimli, because she saw that he was pure in heart.
Me: "Okay, so there was this guy Eru Iluvitar and before time he created the universe"---
First time LoTR watcher: "what does this have to do with gimlis gift"
Me: WE GET THERE WHEN WE GET THERE
Wasn't aware of that history, thank you.
it's also a reference to older times here in earth. A woman's hair was a great gift, specially between lovers and that tradition didn't end that long ago
Slight correction.
Feanor and galadriel were family "uncle and niece" and they were specifically reffered to as " forever being un-friends".
She refused Feanor three times. That’s why she gave Gimli three strands instead of one.
"Everyone needs a Sam". Yes, that's what people always say when watching these movies. But there's this one reactor on here who said: "Don't ask for a Sam - BE a Sam." And I love that sentiment even more.
Yeah, that's awesome (and very astute)...
Fucking oath, people always want a Sam but wont aspire the stout heart Sam has.
I wish people gave Frodo the credit he deserves. Yes Sam held him up but Frodo carried the burden. They both had an equally important part to play.
@@joshramirez2049 Whenever I heard people praise Sam, it was because they said Sam did not receive the recognition for his part of the journey. Can't believe we have come full circle to praising Frodo.
@@jcon2060 idk whenever I see people watch the movie Frodo never seems to get his credit. Everyone says Sam. Just my observation.
Nice little details in the film, I took a long time to notice:
1. When Gimli is grieving for his cousin in Moria, it is Boromir who lays his hand on Gimlis shoulder to comfort him.
2. After Boromirs death, Aragon took Boromirs bracers and wears them to the end of the whole movie trilogy to honor Boromirs sacrifice and to make sure that he is always with him.
I only saw a good character looting the best :v
@@jonathanawizard it wasn’t looting. It was wrot with meaning on a deep level. He didn’t loot him haha. But still a funny sentiment nonetheless 😅🤣💯❤️
@@Makkaru112 yes, is just a Joke because this the thing that you do when play roll games, or video games of open words, and fights
3. When the Fellowship travels at the snowy mountain (right before Moria), you can see that everyone is sinking into the snow, except Legolas. (elves are very-very light creatures)
@@nyuszicsib
4: To the best of my knowledge, Galadriel speaking to Aragorn in private just before the Fellowship departs on the river is the only time in the movie trilogy that we hear him called his Elvish name "Elessar." Even in Return of the King, Philippa admitted they made a mistake when they crowned him as "King Aragorn," as in the books he is King Elessar.
I love how many say "Everyone needs a Sam" which is of course very true, but few say "Everyone needs to be a Sam" which is perhaps even more important.
That was profound. I have said we all need a Sam for many years. I never stopped to think of it from that perspective. Great comment.
25:58 It isnt weakness to show sorrow; notice that Aragorn is weeping as he speaks to Boromir; do you think Aragorn is weak?
No, it simply means you have the strength of empathy.
"Not all tears are an evil."
I lose it everytime
@@adrianrocha49 why did this comment make me cry though DAMN THESE MOVIES
Totally agree! It is no weakness.
I like how Centane is involved and dedicated to watching the movie and noticing the story of the characters as well. Can't wait to hear her assessment of the trilogy after she watched it :D
Empathy is a strength when it is under the control of the mind (like every emotion).
but if you are driven by it, it is a mighty weakness.
It always puts a smile on my face when reactors mention how lonnnng this movie is when they start, then the disappointed shock when the last scene fades to black and "Directed by Peter Jackson" appears.
Using the extended versions, together the trilogy is probably a bit over 10 hours/3 movies. Most TV series run around the same length or better in a season (10+ hours/10+ episodes), and never tell close to 1/4 of the story found here. 2 Seasons of HBO's ROME does pretty well though.
@@terrylandess6072 10 hours exactly pretty much excluding credits.
Did a marathon with a mate of mine and timed it for a laugh. 😂
@@tailssonicteam1604 10 hours 58 if you exclude credits, 12 hours 9 with credits, 28 mins credits in Fellowship, 21 mins credits in Two Towers, 22 mins credits in Return ;). I may have gone to great lengths to break down all the times (including behind the scenes/appendicies etc) when I got my blu ray version so I can see how long everything is at a glance XD
To elaborate on Gimli's gift, Feanor, an incredibly powerful ancient elf, wanted her hair because of his greedy desire to possess its beauty. Three times he asked her for a strand and three times she rejected him, sensing his ill intent. This would become one of the reasons he later made the Silmarils which is a MUCH longer story. Gimli, however, when asked by Galadriel what he intended to do with a strand of her hair, told her he intended to press it into a crystal to preserve it and pass it on as an heirloom of his people so that the beauty of Galadriel would be with them always and as a symbol of friendship between Dwarves and Elves at last. She then gave him three, both for the purity of his desire and as a private fuck you to Feanor's greedy ass. That's also why Legolas smiles after hearing about it, he knows the story and was in on joke that Gimli was quite oblivious of.
It was said that in her hair was captured the light of the Two Trees which gave light to the world before they were ruined and destroyed and then the sun and moon were created.
@@selardohr7697
Her hair being forever preserved in ME, with the light of the Two Tree could have a mystical element as the presence of the Undying Lands will last in ME even after the Elves depart.
Also worth mentioning: in the books, Gimli specifically did not ask for a strand of Galadriel's hair. She commanded him to "name your desire" and he did, while making it clear that he was not asking for this and did not consider himself worthy of it. That's one reason Galadriel granted it.
"a private fuck you to Feanor's greedy ass"
LotR fans really are amazing creatures. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you.
Nice post. I was going to address her reaction about this too, but your post said it better.
I remember watching the movie in cinema, when it came out.
The theater was packed.
But Noone just sold up and left, when the end credits began to role.
All the people were just totally stunned with what they just saw.
It was 2001, and this movie was so much ahead of its time. Lord of the Rings has been something, never seen before. It really opened up a new capture in the history of cinema.
Ture, plus the end credit song by Enya is excellent. "May it Be"
I sat through the end and credits. I had to see some of the people who created this group gem. And sooner after it was all over went out and bought the box set. The making of is as impressive as the movie itself
"Ahead of its time" in the sense that everything after it is year after year humiliated in comparison.
This masterpiece tractor beamed my entire being 😢
New chapter? Nothing like it has been done since...
The best death scene in movie history, in my opinion. From his immediate concern about Merry and Pippin to his follow up of confessing what he did. Then to follow with the legendary lines: "I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my King." I'm a 34-year-old man, have seen this movie over 20 times, and still tear up at that death scene.
This moment, and the one from ROTK when they all bow to the hobbits, are the two scenes I always tear up for. I have read the books many times, but also love the films.
I agree with every point.
Sean Bean has a lot of practice dying.
I wish I had seen it in theaters. I remember I had the chance with my friends and one friend said we should cause he read the book, but me being a dumb 13 year old I convince them to watch Pokémon the 3rd movie
Borimir was very noble, Good and loved as a leader. He was a "good guy!" but he was fighting a LOSING war and he was desperate for any aid. The Ring sensed this and immediately starting corrupting Borimir in Rivendell and throughtout the journey. It told Borimir HE could defeat Sauron and WIN the war. Borimir knew all his people would be slaughtered and eaten...soooo......he was an easy mark.
I always felt bad for Boromir. I think he gets a bad wrap by some fans. His death is so sad but I think it's a great redemption arc.
The more you have to lose, the more fuel the ring has to corrupt you with. He loved his people and his city more than his own honour and the ring used that against him. He was a real hero, even at the end.
@@dailylordoftheringsvideos7787 Borimir looks bad as a normal human like you and me among all these legends.
Any of us in his place would have done far worse.
@Sabrecat Smiladon Great point. The ring corrupts good desires. And the more powerful a person is, the more they desire the ring. Gandalf and Galadriel, two of the most powerful beings in Middle Earth, have a serious craving for it. Note Gandalf's handling of the ring in Bilbo's house. He is afraid to even touch it, for fear he will not be able to let it go again.
The danger that everyone mentions in the Ring is the power it gives to do good, it will let the wearer do many beneficial things, but slowly, inevitably it corrupts, gradually the wearer imposes their will, defines what is good, becomes a tyrant. That is the taint of the One Ring, and Boromir as mentioned was particularly susceptible. Gandalf, Galadriel and Aragorn all recognise this deadly aspect of the Ring, and demonstrate the incredible strength to refuse its power to do immeasurable good, and thus perpetuate endless evil.
You crying over Boromir made me shed tears 😭
Man what a moment
for reals though
these are fake tears
Everyone always says Frodo's careless with the Ring. The thing you have to remember is the Ring wants to be found. It's no accident that it slipped off Frodo's neck when Boromir was so close. It wants to go home to its Master.
Yup. And it abandoned Gollum in the same way. just as it did Isildur when he was trying to swim in the Anduin River.
I never though Frodo was careless with the ring, but I'd never want to play a drinking game to every time Frodo lands on his butt. The ring is a character all it's own and adds malice to many scenes if the viewer keeps the ring in mind.
You got it.
Of course. Another thing to watch is when Boromir is holding the ring, you can actually SEE it trying to get to him. Watch closely.
Yes it twitches on the end of its chain! It’s a great detail. And the fact that the ring was exerting so much power at that moment, and Boromir still handed it back to Frodo, speaks volumes about Boromir’s strength of character.
I'm always fascinated how everyone mentions how this ends the first time they see it.
Imagine how we felt when it came out, we had like a year to wait
Well, if she's seen the new Dune, she can just compare to that..
@@darthvegan435 the new Dune is garbage, especially compared to LOTR.
@@Lost7one Whether or not that is true, the point was that they both leave you hanging and wanting more - and waiting a long time for the next one...
Do you remember when they tacked on the trailer at the end of the film, late in it's theatrical run. The music changed on that end scene and cut right into the trailer. It was a transcendent moment in our theater the first time I saw that.
@@Lost7one cinematography-wise, yes, but literature-wise, no, both have their own merits and falls, Tolkien actually read the first Dune book and hated it
I've seen Boromir's death scene countless times and it STILL gets to me. And a really underrated moment, which gets cut out of a lot of youtube reactions, is Frodo just before he jumps on the boat and remembering the conversation with Gandalf about what we do with the time we are given... it's such an emotional moment.
The way Sean Bean moves his feet, laying there at deaths doorstep is a small but powerful detail....
Yes it's one of the most impactful deaths in media in my opinion.
The death of Heavy and Fives from Star Wars the Clone Wars are also up there with Maul's death in Rebels.
And Thorin's death from the Hobbit.
All extremely impactful.
Sean Bean is a genius actor. black death is a movie with him and Eddie Redmayne that EVERYONE needs to watch
Production note: when Aragorn blocked the knife thrown by the orc near the end, he wasn't supposed to actually throw the knife. Vigo Mortensen is such an actual badass that he blocked the knife with his sword out of reflex.
He was supposed to throw that dagger, but it should be thrown in the tree next to him. But direction went wrong and Vigo blocked it. It was real sharp dagger.
Looking forward to the obligatory "actually Vigo broke his toes" in the second movie 😅
@@rukinohi Of course! I didn't mention about Sam slicing his foot in the water. :P
Next movie - about the cry of pain/anger when he kicks the skull
@@rukinohi
He showed real pain in that scene.
I remember laughing and getting emotional when Gimli said Galadriel gave him 3 hairs, but most people had the same reaction as you. A WTF moment. Thousands of years ago the most powerful, magical elf of all time Feanor, made the most powerful magic items of all time, the Simarils. He asked Galadriel for 3 locks of her hair, with the intent to make 3 more, perhaps even more powerful magic items, using her perfect hair. But Galadriel sensed he wasn't pure of heart, and denied him. Then thousands of years later this little dwarf asks her for a hair. Surrounded by racism on all sides and in the presence of the most evil thing ever created she could sense a pure heart. I think Gimli intended to put them in crystal to preserve them, just so he always had a reminder that beauty is worth preserving. Legolas hearing that story meant he KNEW that Gimli was a good person and someone he can be friends with, because he was raised on the stories of Feanor.
I've heard the story from other commenters, but how many have read The Silmarillion? I do know that in past centuries it was a custom to keep a lock of hair of a loved one, braided onto a ring or necklace or whatever, since a painted miniature portrait was only for the wealthy. Photos changed it all.
Didn’t he ask for her hair before creating the silmarills? I read somewhere that he created them partly to resemble her hair, who shines with the light of the two trees in the books
I laughed so much with the "Well, nothing can be worse that so many orcs!" Me: (Balrog side-eye)
Boromir's line "I would have followed you, my brother... My King"... is the line that gets me. Boromir, whatever his doubts, and whatever the Ring did to him... at the end, he regained himself, his honor, as a son of Gondor.
You've got like 7 more hours of movies to go. You're gonna love 'em!
Still amazed at the script writing of this scene since it isn’t in the books. One of the best scenes of the trilogy and elevated this film so much. I couldn’t picture boromir’s death without that scene.
Not only as a son of Gondor, but as the Heir to the Regent of Gondor.
@@bigdream_dreambig Exactly what I meant by "son of Gondor"...
Gimlis gift was a big deal. Looong story short there was a huge douche elf named Faenor and he made some really cool rocks that everyone liked. He got greedy and was like "yo galadriel, gimme a lot of your hair" and she was like "nah". Cuz she knew he was a douche. He asked 2 more times and got the same answer. A few thousand years passed, elves and dwarves grew to hate each other. Then Gimli (who is not a douche) humbly asked for 1 stand. She gave him 3 (one for each time she denied the doucher) as a gesture of good faith between elves and dwarves
Haven’t seen a better summary of this. Top notch comment writing brah.
@@archeverything i gotchu
I came here to tell this story but not only did you told it first but you told it better than I ever could.
Legolas attitude towards Gimli changed immediately since he knew (like any good elf would) the story of Faenor and knew that by giving him 3 strands of her hair, she was saying that not only Gimli wasn't a douche but he had a noble heart
@@vopatonyr thanks man :) I always liked the reaction that legolas gave
Top tier summary mate! 👍
Absolutely the best story ever. Both masterpieces, the Tolkien's book and Peter Jackson's movies.
And Sam IS a real hero in LOTR. Sam and Frodo’s relationship was a combination of the dynamic between master and servant as well as the dynamic between Lieutenant and Privet. Sam was inspired by real people, namely the batmen that Tolkien met during WWI. Tolkien developed great respect for them. A batman was a personal aide and servant of a commissioned officer. He was a non-commissioned soldier or airman, who were generally of lower social status as well as lower military rank. A batman’s duties included acting as a messenger, valet, driver, bodyguard and general aide. It was considered to be a desirable position. Batmen sometimes followed their officers into civilian life as domestic servants. (If you’ve seen Downton Abbey, Bates had been Lord Grantham’s batman and later became his valet; later, William becomes Matthew’s batman.)
Frodo grew up with Sam. He likely saw him almost every single day. His friendly relationship with Sam grew even deeper after they began their journey and he saw Sam’s loyalty displayed time and again. Prepare for lots of more tears!
Sam's and Frodo’s relationship is often misunderstood. The relationship is a servants loyalty to his employer which grows into a real life long friendship.
They did not grow up together. Frodo is 50 and Sam is 38 at the time of them leaving the Shire in the books.
Well some ppl find joy in calling their relationship being "couple"... Sad, poor ones
Sam is indeed a true hero! Frodo would not have made it without Sam!
And it's always better to be a batman than a robin.
We had to wait a year between each movie back in 2001 to 2003 but what a time to be alive to experience this masterpiece in the cinema something I'll never forget. So glad you're enjoying it. It truly is the greatest trilogy of all time.
Sting and the mithrill chainmail were such awesome and useful gifts! An elvish short-sword and dwarven armor on a hobbit!✊
LotR is from such a different era, and that era needs to come back. Tender romances between men that are platonic. Care, trust, and poetry intermingled into such lovely moments.
The books are different from the movies, but the movies capture the exact same feeling the books do. They are both treasures to behold and have such amazing phrases worthy of tattoos, banners, and battle cries.
I dearly hope another series said and made with the same level of passion comes again in our lifetime.

It’s a crime really
Been hanging for this. All the charm I expected. There have been so many reactions to this trilogy and yours are up there with the best. Boromir's death is an emotional high point for most, along with 'Oh no, is it over already?' after nearly four hours. I won't give spoilers, but you will find yourself increasingly immersed in the characters old and new as the plot unfolds in the subsequent instalments. Much still to look forward to for all of us. In the meantime, mind your health.
That bit about Galadriel's hair is not only beautiful, it's also deeply meaningful. Galadriel was born in the First Age before the creation of the sun and the moon, when the world was lit by the Two Trees of Valinor. (These trees later became the sun and moon, but that's another story.) It was said that Galadriel's hair held the light of these trees. Well, her uncle, a somewhat obsessive artist named Fëanor, asked three times that she give him a strand of her hair to use in one of his works. Galadriel sensed darkness in him (she was so right) and refused each time. But Gimli only hinted once and very politely, after she pressed him to know what gift would please him, and she gave him three strands. You may have noticed how Legolas smiled when he heard this. He knew the old story, and knew that her gift meant the Lady of the Woods had deemed this Dwarf to be worthy of the Elves' respect and friendship. ETA: BTW, Pippin is the nickname of Peregrin Took, and Merry is the nickname of Meriadoc Brandybuck. Pippin is adventurous (a typical Took trait), cheerful, inquisitive, but often thoughtless. He is also (in the Hobbit reckoning) not quite an adult. In the USA, he'd be just barely old enough to enlist in the military. Merry is older than Pippin. He's also the more sensible of the two and (being a Brandybuck) is more alert to how things might go wrong.
*I continue though*:
Galadriel's history is super interesting(Spanning beyond 9000 years). Also, Gimli generally experienced hostility/racism from elves (Due to a long history but her line especially thanks to her brother Finrod and all his deeds, they literally gifted him one of their fortresses of Nargothrond and named him Felagund, thus his name famously became Finrod Felagund. he was also the first to meet Men so essentially the friendships he forged shaped middle earth greatly.) in the books Galadriel was immediately sympathetic towards Gimli. This is because Galadriel's people (being separate from the people of Lothlórien) were historically friendly with the dwarves. And she probably remembers Moria being at this height since she quotes the poem describing it and she is easily old enough. "Do not repent of your welcome to the Dwarf. If our folk had been exiled long and far from Lothlórien, who of the Galadhrim, even Celeborn the Wise, would pass nigh and would not wish to look upon their ancient home, though it had become an abode of dragons? ... fair were the many-pillared halls of Khazad-dûm in Elder Days before the fall of mighty kings beneath the stone."
Also, Gimli fashioned the gift into what he named the Galadramir which in my eyes replaced the Nauglamir was a holier more pure version of it. She’s truly instrumental to so many things.
I hope you get to read this one day now that you’ve already finished all three movies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll say what I say to all the reactors who have done LOTR. Frodo Baggins may be the featured character, but by the end Samwise Gamgee will be your favorite character. I think that may have already happened for you, going by your reaction. The story gets very involved in The Two Towers, and I think you will be surprised where it goes, many twists and turns, ups and downs, ins and outs, etc. John Ronald Ruel Tolkien and Peter Jackson are a dangerous pair.
Your reaction to Boromir's death is the most profound, meaningful, and resonant I've seen from any reaction channel that watches this trilogy. Your empathy and authenticity can be very affecting to more than just one viewer. Thank you for that. It matters.
Imagine watching this, for the first time, in the theater and seeing those end credits. I've read the novels and was expecting it. It was still frustrating. A whole year away from the Two Towers.
I wasnt. Boromir death actually happens in book 2, it cuts much earlier. So I was like "YESSSS WE HAVE MORE"
seeing all these movies in theaters was such a privilege. So grateful to my parents for taking my brother and I to see them.
Yah you can just easily put on the next DVD. we had to wait 365 days to pick up where Sam and Frodo left us.
"Everybody needs a friend like Sam." I agree. I would also add that everyone needs to be a friend like Sam.
LOTR trilogy does take some creative shortcuts from the books but the intent to keep the spirit of the story remains. Many things go unexplained on the film due to the enormous depth of the book lore. When you see something of question happen, just tell yourself magic is somehow involved.
Hurry on to The Two Towers! You will not be disappointed.
This trilogy is the the best ever made with no doubt.
14:00 Dwarves built amazing wonders none of us here could imagine. They built gigantic halls no other people would have thought of.
11:23 ...."There is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath"..... I love that line.....
"Let them come!
There is one drwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath" this line still give me goosebumps
Thank you for not cut this epic part out.
Greatest film series of all time. It's hard not to get emotional over some of the later scenes in the fellowship.
I was young when this came out in theaters. Didn't even know it was a trilogy of books, thought it was just one standalone original film. So when those credits rolled I was numb. Like holy cow what a ride but at the same time, it just ends? Am I supposed to assume they fail in their quest and everyone dies? Is this one of those dire and depressing stories where the good guys actually LOSE?
Then my dad told me there were two more movies coming but I had to wait a whole year for the next one. Brutal, but also awesome.
10:56 "Gandalf, you're so mean!" Yep. One of the rare times he lets his temper take over instead of being the wise counselor.
Showing emotions isn't weakness. It's more a sign of compassion and empathy. You should never be sorry for showing emotion. That goes for everyone.
We had to wait a year to see the 2 towers.
Your reaction when the credits roll is priceless! ha ha ha I took my mom (ultimate LOTR fan girl) to this when it first came out. There was a cowboy sitting next to us who had obviously been dragged there by his wife. You could tell by the skeptical sneer on his face and the comments he was cracking to her through the early part of the movie.
But as the movie went on, he first removed his hat, then sat forward in his seat, and by the time of the battle at the Anduin, he had forgotten himself in the story. When the credits started rolling, there was a moment of silence in the theater. The cowboy said, out loud, "Well, &#*@, is that it?" Then everybody in the place, including him and his wife, started laughing.
As much as the movie is different than the books, I think Tolkien would be proud that one of the main themes people get from the movie is: "everyone needs a Sam"
The ring always tries to reach its master in one way or another. That's why certain things happen like when it was put on Frodo's finger when he fell or when it fell off his neck in the snow. The ring has the will of Sauron as they said at the beginning of the movie.
That was excellent! so glad you were invested in the characters and enjoyed it! ✌️
I always love it when someone watches a four hour movie and then says " That's it ?"
21:10 Locks of hair was a gift that showed great admiration or even affection in Medieval times. The significance of Galadriel's gift to Gimli is explained more in the books, in both "The Lord of the Rings" and in "Silmarillion", but in short it shows that Galadriel sees the pure intentions of Gimli and how he can look past the usual mistrust between Dwarves and Elves.
I just have to say that I love your reactions. You are so adorable.
With this series, you really get the nobility of spirit in this tale.
No matter how many times I have watched Boromir's death scene, it always gets to me. 😢
Tearing up watching this trilogy is not a sign of any weakness. Words don't exist to describe how amazing this story is. Watching your reaction to it is a pure thrill.
Suggestion, pick up a box of tissues. 😊
The manliest of tears are shed in great rivers by the end of this trilogy.
Love these videos! Can't wait to see you complete the trilogy!
I do love how people always seem to go from, "this movie is so long, I don't know if I'll be able to watch it all without losing interest" to "WAIT WHAT THAT'S IT?!"
I love how every time someone watches this, they wake up and realize it's over, as if no time has passed at all. The film is masterful in drawing in the viewer and making them forget about everything else. The entirety of Lord of the Rings has that effect, regardless of whether or not one watches one or all of them in succession. We have spent far too short a time in this world and yet just the right amount of time.
More than 3 hours of film and it still feels like it's not enough. I love the way you enjoyed the movie I feel like you're watching it with the best attitude possible and that will make for a much better experience, looking forward to the next reactions!
That Gimli was given three golden strands of Galadriel's hair is immense! It's been touched upon in other comments, but I'll leave the rest for you to look into.
The world of Tolkien is fantastic to discover.
Galadriel was born during the year of the trees, her golden hair reflects it's power before she came to middle earth, she's thousands of years old and Arwens grandmother. Due to how powerful she is, her uncle in the books requested strands of her beautiful hair three times to forge a weapon. She refused his insults and they never spoke again. When Gimli asked out of humbleness, he said that he would take one strand to crystalize it into a jewel that would be an heirloom for his family's future generations. Seeing his awe and humility, Galadriel shocked everyone by giving him three strands of hair and was greatly pleased by his words of admiration. Elves and dwarves have a very messy history, but Gimlis friendship with Galadriel and Legolas is an incredible example in both the books and movies on how to make forever friends dispute prejudice differences. Galadriel blesses him in the books saying that his future will always be full of riches and gold, but he valued his friendships more.
I'm so glad that everytime you see someone start this journey with the extended editions and they start with "Holy S--t its almost 4 hours!!" and then go "NOOOO!" at the ending. :'D
That was great my dear. Your reactions were perfect again!! Now I'm ready to do the two towers with you
"How does he lose it from his neck from falling?" The ring is trying to return to it's master and has a few tricks
You are such a fun reactor and I am loving this series so far.
Love seeing your reaction! Boromir's death always gets me too, he fell to the ring, but redeemed himself in doing all he could to protect Mary and Pippin.
"I am so weak." = You are a Human being watching a very moving scene in one of the greatest film series ever made.
The journey has only just begun, and you will go through every emotion along the way.
Glad to be with you to the end.
Just imagine how hard that ending was when we saw it in the theatre and knew we'd have to wait another year. Great reaction
“Be at peace….Son of Gondor…” that part gets EVERYONE 😨
"Everyone needs a Sam". Truer words were never spoken, we all need a Sam. 👍
Nice reaction! At least once a year, I’ll binge all three movies in one shot from noon ‘til midnight. 🎥 Your tears for Borodir surprised me but it’s understandable compassion. I can’t wait for the next two movie reactions. ✌️
good that you know the hobbit, so many people confused about things, really helps your reaction to have a foot in the story already.
Boromir’s death broke a lot of us. Very emotional moment.
Other people have commented why Galadriel gave Gimli strands of hair. Before photography was invented, hair was often given as a token of affection or remembrance.
Boromir's death breaks me every time. And I've seen these films so many times. It's hertbreaking and so well acted
Your reactions are wonderful! Whether it’s a tv show or film I haven’t seen or on that I’ve watched many times (like LOTR) you make it feel new to me (and while sitting for exams, too). Keep it up!! BTW, I’ve had 2 Norwegian Elkhounds and the 1st (before the films were out) was named Turid Mithril (Norse name, and love of LOTR).
I've seen Fellowship of the Rings hundreds of times already, but I will never not cry at Boromir's death.
"Bilbo, he's so cute...", seconds prior to cute Bilbo going maniacal lol
Thank you for allowing us to start the journey with you!
💖 Lovely reaction. Boromir's death was so sad. Galadriel is scary, but wonderful!
I remember seeing the Moria part in cinema 20 years ago when I was about 12 years old. It gave me goosebumps because of all the epicness and the music, I had never seen anything like Balrog on a big screen before either. The trilogy still gives me feels after all these years 🧡😭 ... Loving your reactions!
great reaction! can't wait for the next one.
So glad you love it, can't wait for the rest
I love the emotion you showed. It's definitely not a weakness, IMO.
I think it was more akin to 'drained', from the emotional investment.
Nice one, Kamilla! So much more ahead. Can't wait to see the rest of this with you. 🙂
It's nice to see people - no matter who or where they live, to react with the same delight as we did.
You only get to watch a film the first time - once. Savor these. Like a box of Godiva.
Alas, mine was so long ago.
More of these, I need theses.
Lol thanks for the video :) I love it when people watch these movies!
This first film was amazing in the movie theatre. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I can’t wait to see your reaction to the next two movies. I hope they come out faster than these, but life happens.
Although I think Gandalf's death is more impactful from a cinematic standpoint (the tension building up to the fight with the Balrog, the sense of relief, followed by instant shock and horror at seeing the mighty wizard fall, the music piercing the soul, the grief on Frodo and Aragorn's faces, Pippin's and Frodo's grief... Boromir's death offers a more complex emotional situation with his character being both noble and tempted, both strong and weak, harsh yet sympathetic, betraying and yet redeeming... I know when I see a reactor weep at his tragic farewell, that these movies have truly found an audience to lay hold of.
Hardly weak. These are epics, written by one of the greatest story tellers since Homer. Filled with sweet triumph, bitter defeat, despair and exaltation.
And the characters, especially manage to be remarkably human despite being classical heroes.
There wasn't a dry eye in the theater when I saw this 20 years ago one December evening. Your tears are just a sign that you are enjoying it!
Kudos for tackling the extended editions by the way. Not always easy but they explain a lot.
Thanks for this! I read the books as a kid and was around your age when the movie came out. Seeing you react makes me feel young again lol
what a beautiful reaction, cant wait for more
Feeling and crying is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of inner strength and of connection and compassion.
i love how after nearly 4 hours, it ends, and no one wants it to end. My same reaction 20 years ago when i saw it the first time.
It’s great seeing someone watch these movies for the first time.
Just waiting for the next chapters... You'll enjoy and love every single minute the will come.
You are experiencing the greatest cinematic journey ever crafted for the first time. god im so jealous
More please. Can’t wait for The Two Towers. Love your reaction!
"What could be worse than orcs and goblins" - oh you sweet summer child.
Cant wait to see ur Reaction of the other 2 Movies.
Wonderful reaction!!
And cannot wait for your reaction to The Two Towers!
When I first saw this film - twenty years ago - I didn't find the scene with Balin's grave that heartbreaking. Just OK, some important dwarf who owned the place fell in battle.
Ten years later, the Hobbit trilogy was made and Peter Jackson did a great job with how the character of Balin was portrayed. As an extremely kind, gentle, wise man.
When I watch Lord of the Ring now (and I watch the entire trilogy at least 2-3 times a year), the scene at Balin's grave always moves me because I realize how wonderful Balin was and what a great loss his death means to Gimli.
By the way, the dead dwarf with the chronicle is Ori, the young dwarf from the Hobbit trilogy who excelled at sling-shotting.
When you finish watching all 3 films in the trilogy, they will be your favorite movies. It's a crime that this film didn't win the Oscar for Best Picture.
Hahahaha! You didn't expect the credits to be like a half hour 😂 me too.
