The best comment i saw on TH-cam. Marvellous poetry!
@SCMD- Abhi yep, it is.
@@Andre12241 I believe it's from Game of thrones...... Of JON's first chapter and for Tyrion Lannister
@@Dan-ul1hd it's from book....a game of thrones
Legolas was like "Hey man, brought your wife."
Hey man, look who came here with me...😏
Legolas best wingman
3:17 the face on that elf behind her Dad. LOL He's like they be making a heir to the throne tonight.
Throughout the trilogy there were hints that Legolas was Aragorn’s wingman. When Aragorn arrived at Helm’s Deep, it was Legolas who returned the Evenstar to him.
@Karson Kalabo Everyone needs a Legolas for everything honestly
A character like Aragorn here is so rare to see anymore. Viggo played him to perfection. He’s brave and strong yet gentle and caring, noble and kingly yet very humble, fierce to the enemies, loving to his kins and friends, very wise yet he never condescends others. A King, a warrior, a dear friend and companion. And he played it without being cringy, not a bit. It’s such a perfect character.
Especially amazing considering he was a secondary casting after the original Aragorn casting did so poorly (Stuart Townsend) and seemingly didnt care at all so after already having filmed various scenes Peter Jackson made the decision to have him replaced.
@@tom-vf1xv We are so lucky to have Viggo as our Aragorn.
It's, without a doubt, one of the greatest portrayals by an actor in any media. I know that gets thrown out a lot today but there's just no denying it.
He also manages to convey that aragorn is a lot older than he looks too which is something that takes a lot of doing
and to know that he was a 2nd choice is unbelievable. He is great! An actor who reads the books then decides to play a role. We'll never see this again.
One does not simply hold their tears for this scene
It is easier going into mordor

"My friends you bow to noone."
Yea I came here after got ending to remind myself how satisfying a good ending felt like
Omg i couldn't agree more man, I'm still sick from that terrible GOT ending.. Literally felt like 8 years of amazing story for nothing
@@yoshiprime3949 lol same feeling here !! what a waste about game of thrones .. im just here to feel a good ending from another great movie
This scene always moves me to tears- the King honors the ones who sacrificed the most. Great feeling!
That is the exact reason I just rewatched the entire extended edition trilogy. What they did to Dany broke me.
YoshPrimePainting well not for nothing. The journey/ride was good.
Aragorn and Arwen: We're getting married tonight.
Also Aragorn and Arwen: Frodo, will you be our... ring bearer?
Frodo: "Uhm...I think once was enough..."
Ouch. Too soon. 😂👍 Loved it.
You're wrong for this!
No shame no shame, hahaha
Oh man this is to funny.
That look on Elrond’s face. He’s so happy for his daughter, but knows the terrible sadness she will face eventually when Aragorn eventually dies.
And his own sadness, knowing that his daughter will die as well, will never join him in the Undying Lands. He will lose her forever.
Once she marries Aragon she becomes a human too. At least thats what his father said
Isn’t Aragorn part elf?
@@rapbattlefan2008 No, he is a descendant of one, though and explains his life span.
I read in the original book that when Aragon has died she died after him with one year from grieve......
Sam was the real hero. If everyone had a friend like that theres nothing absolutely nothing we couldn't overcome
He was but he also could partly have been at fault for them failing. Tolkien has said in his letters that Smeagol would have willingly cast himself (To destroy Gollum) and the ring into the fire if Sam had treated him better because Smeagol truly saw Frodo as a friend.
It was Sam's actions that allowed Gollum to keep in control and make the corruption of the ring effect Smeagol
@@AshleyClarkey bollocks
@@AshleyClarkey But Smeagol had thrown off Gollum in spite of Sam's distrust. It was being tortured by Faramir's rangers that brought Gollum back.

can we appreciate the fact that Aragorn finally washed his hair...
That's what I was thinking 😁
@@pamdoherty723 yes indeed

Guys, you know who gets no credit for the movies but deserves massive credit?
Bob Shaye. He's the head at New Line who okay 3 movies. He made the biggest gamble in movie history. Without him, LOTR would have been 1 or 2 movies. No one else in Hollywood was willing to do LOTR.
Greatest movies of all time.
Greatest movie soundtrack of all time.
Most beautiful place put on film.
A 10 hour super epic (the EEs) that will never be equaled.
Bob Shaye is truly underrated in the film industry, gave us LotR and ANoES
Among the greatest, and I would say greatest fantasy films of all time.
Yep. That guy got some balls!
And that's why a project like this is not happening again soon. Balls like his only appear once a century.
May Bob Shaye find everlasting peace and glory in Valinor. All hail Bob!
Hear hear - bravo to Bob
One tiny moment that I love that shows Aragorn’s humility- at 2:03 Eomer has just stepped forward and bowed to him. He pauses and bows in return acknowledging Eomer as king of Rohan and a valued ally.
In all the years it's been since watching and loving this story, not once had this crossed my mind but I had pondered why Eomer out of all characters had stepped forward to bow and Aragorn return the bow to Eomer. You have just opened my eyes as to why and I couldn't agree more, thank you for this!
Judge dredd on LOTR lol
There's a line in the book where Eomer tells Aragorn that he will fight with him wherever he chooses (something like that, it's before they storm the Black Gate). This small interaction in the movie pays homage to that, showing their mutual respect for each other. Eomer is one of those characters that gets a bit shafted due the constraints of the film, but he still gets treated with great dignity
I thought Faramir took over Rohan ? What did he end up ruling?
@@missym877 nah Faramir was Prince of Ithilien, a Gondorian Province, married Eowyn and was allowed to keep title of Steward by Aragorn.
Came here to see a true king. Unlike Bran the Broken....
😂😂😂😂🤣
Chanfle 3 respect
LOL!
Bran could've sort things out before Dany burnt out the city but he didnt because he knew all along that he will be the king and he WANTED it to happen. What a selfish king of wheelchair!! DRACARYS!!!
Got doesnt do true kings
I love how everyone is here from GoTs shit ending to appreciate a true masterpiece lol
Agreed jon shouldve had a ending like this
I appreciate that u wanted an ending like this but got established in earlier seasons that it won't have a happy ending
Yahya Razi
But it still does...lol... the world survives all evil monarchs are dead, the Council is completely made of good people ect...
@@yahyarazi5597 it still is a happy ending, but a trash one with no meaning behind it and no power...
Cyvan exactly
That is some amazing acting from Hugo Weaving. How he manages to smile and clap while conveying the deep sadness in Elrond's eyes, simultaneously sad that his daughter will become mortal and die, and happy that she is with the man she loves, and will live a shorter life of more intense joy. A masterclass in bittersweet.
Not even just joy... more, she'll be fulfilled and satisfied, even with her sadness at the very end, when she goes to die alone in the desolate hollows where Lothlorien once stood. That as painful as this parting is, Elrond's wise enough to know it would be more painful to see her waste away slowly and lifelessly in the Undying Lands with him, and that his greatest act of love is to let her go. AND HE DOES THAT ALL WITH A FEW SECONDS OF BACKGROUND ACTING! Hugo Weaving's so good.
He whispers "Go to him" at 2:37. Such a touching moment.
As a father now..... this hits very, very different. Elrond's face is what gets me all emotional in this scene now.
It is such a complex moment, and Hugo does bring all that emotion in a few seconds-so brilliant!
It's pretty sad for elrond losing his brother and daughter for mortal life, also isn't his dad a star or something
I love the moment that Lord Elrond sees Aragorn for the first time as King Elesar. For that brief moment you can feel his joy knowing that Aragorn had returned the pride and dignity that had existed in Numenor. Lord Elrond is at peace knowing that his beloved brother and first king of Numenor Elros' legacy will live on in greatness.
There is also some relief in relation to his daughter...i guess
He raised Aragorn as a son, so he knows what kind of king he will be.
I'm a new LOTR fan, so please understand when asking the question about Aragorn's title of Elesar? Didn't he become King of Gondor??
@@corrievanrooyen4984 Elessar is his royal name as king
@@corrievanrooyen4984 Aragorn takes the regnal name 'Elessar', in the same way that say, the Pope chooses a new name to be known by when elected.
17 years later...STILL nothing compares to this masterpiece.
It has aged like the finest of wines
I doubt any of us are gonna live to see anything that compares to this masterpiece
Duel of the Fates x Battle of Heroes is just as good, but in a different way.
I mean, I understand that the previous generation grew up with Star wars 4-6 and all, buuuuuuut
I grew up with this trilogy and I wouldn't trade places with them at gunpoint.
Valid
I loved what Aragorn said. "My friends, you bow to no one." If only real world leaders could be as humble as him
Cod_Leeegend:D Not even.. LOTR is a completely different universe. There is no time period you can apply it to like that.
Samuel Markert Same
Samuel Markert Viggo Mortensen was a brilliant choice for Aragon's character
+Samuel Markert Does this part make anyone else tear up?
+Samuel Markert take another like aaaand here you go. you got 100
King Elessar lived to 210. He reigned for 122 years as King. His reign was prosperous for all the people of his kingdom. They rebuilt and reclaimed much of the territory of Gondor and Arnor, and saw the reestablishment of the cooperation of Men, Dwarves, and Elves. He was buried next to Pippin and Merry who had died 58 years earlier. He was succeeded by his son, Eldarion. Arwen, heartbroken by his death, passed away soon after in Lothlorien.
This is from the wiki, I just thought I'd save everyone a search on the fate of Aragorn and his reign as king.
He and Eomer rode east and south together to defeat Sauron’s remaining allies,renewed the oath of Eorl,(first king of Rohan) and he declared Isengard an entish realm,he made the Druadan forest their own land,likewise with The Shire,made Faramir Prince of Ithillien, and chief councillor, and Sam,Merry and Pippin councillors of Arnor,he also allowed Legolas to bring a group of his people to live in Ithillien.Gimli’s dwarves and Legolas’s elves restored the gate of Minas Tirith. He also ordered the destruction of Minas Morgul,freed the slaves of Nurn, and made peace with the Easterlings and Haradrim
Such a powerful scene. Especially the honoring of the Hobbits. Viggo didn't just act as Aragorn. It's as if he became Aragorn. I fear we shall never see a movie as good as this again.
True. They don't do these kinds of movies anymore
I have to admit I think Western cinema peaked with Lord of he Rings. Cinematic perfection.
Please don't fear my friend, I'm sure that there are so many more great moments just waiting for us...
If D&D were LOTR writers Pippin would have become king instead of Aragorn.
If D&D were the LOTR writers, they would have crammed it all into one movie :(
The movie would have lasted 30 minutes.
Really?
No it would've been Gollum and hed be screaming for precious his whole reign
@@ven_skywalker7007 In the books, when Gollum is tempted by the Ring, he dreams of what he could do with it. His grand dream is to become Lord Smeagol and have fresh fish three times a' day.
"My friends, you bow to no one"
Still gives me goosebumps
Lord Of The Rings trilogy was a master piece from start to finish
Yes
And the hungry kiss between Arwen and Aragorn!!
GoT: what makes a good king? stories. lulz
Masterpiece NO questions asked.
110% one of the best scenes in the movie
One thing that makes me happy is how Eowyn and Faramir were able to find happiness and fulfillment after what both of them went through. They both deserved it.
There's a scene in the extended version where Faramir and Eowyn meet in The House of Healing and fall in love. But, that part gets cut out from the theater edition. Peter Jackson should have kept that part in. It's not very long and explains so much.
@kevinemmers9424 yes I always thought it seemed a bit abrupt in the Theatrical version, like she's just paired off with Farmair, 'the man you love is unavailable but hey, this guys single, have you tried him?'
I just love how Aragorn passionately kiss Arwen when he sees her. He didn't care about protocols and all that, you can tell he had missed her dearly.
He went Ranger one last time
Honestly, I believe it is a tone deaf scene that does not play well with the sacrality of the moment and the history and personality of these two characters in the movie. Just my opinion
@@ArrivaAzazelloyou’ve clearly never truly missed and loved a woman. It’s pure passion
"My friends... you bow to no one." Always brings tears to my eyes.
I’m not crying! You’re crying!
same
Long live Frodo The Ring Bearer and Samwise The Brave!
Me too! Every. Time.
And whenever King Aragorn went toward The Shire, he never entered but stood with his horse on the Brandywine Bridge to meet with whomever wanted to see him. But NEVER actually crossed. This was an example to all big people in the kingdom so that the hobbits would never again be exploited by ones like Saruman and Wormtongue.
"My friends, you bow to no one."
*An emotional fist launches me across countless galaxies and beyond*
I don't even know why this part gets me so much(in a good way), but like you there's an emotional roller coaster going on
Masterpiece.
ye ;-;
@@nicholascopsey4807 and the best: IT KEEPS WORKING EVERY TIME. what a movie man
It's been almost 20 years and it still chokes me up every time.
If our politicians and world leaders were like King Aragorn...imagine what a world we would live in...
Yeah we need a good lord on this earth.
Instead we had Suron minions running it
That's why this is science fiction.
The bad guys would all lose their heads. 👍
The problem is, it's all well and good to have a good leader -- we do need good leaders, I'm not downplaying them -- but if the *people* aren't good, it won't work out. And no ruler can make people be good. That's always a personal choice.
Look at Elrond's face, what a great actor Hugo Weaving is. He read the books... He knows Arwen is realizing her dream of being married to Aragorn, but he knows also that he is losing her, forever, bc the Elves go to Valinor and the mortals go "Beyond the Circles of this World", which may be Tolkien's way of saying the Biblical afterlife, ie, heaven or hell. And Arwen becomes mortal when she loses her husband to old age: Remember the Elves are immortal, but there are two ways they can die, they can be killed, and they will die of broken hearts and grief, and one way of heartbreak is unrequited love, or grief for separation from a beloved... So Poor Elrond had 2 choices: To watch his daughter waste away in grief if she went with him to Valinor, or to know that she would die of grief once Aragorn finally passed away, despite him being a Dunadan and living 3 times as long a normal Man. (210 years, 122 of which was as King of the West. There was a scene in "The two towers" where this is explained... Great acting by Hugo Weaving, and Liv Tyler both..Arwen is 3000 years old and she knows her time is will end, but she faces it bravely, and Elrond who is more than 6500 years old, (born first age in a settlement at the mouth of the river Sirion, near the west shores of Beleriand... which was sunk and lost forever in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age.. and among the survivors of Gondolin, and Doriath, when the final kinslaying took place and the settlement was destroyed, and Elrond and his brother Elros were taken and fostered by Maedros son of Feanor... and Elrond went on to survive not only the First Age, of which only 50 or so years remained, but also the 3,434 years of the Second age and the 3,021 years of the Third Age before he took ship into the West forever... and Galadriel went with him, leaving Celeborn as "the last living memory of the Elder Days (the First Age) in Middle Earth" ..
Plus Elrond will be loosing Aragorn as well.
@@Sayu277 Very true. Elrond raised him and considered him a foster son...
The act of kneeling before the hobbits not only elevates the hobbits, but Aragorn himself.
Thus is true kingship - leadership without humility always turns bad
One of the most insightful comments I've read in a long time. Cheers friend.
Absolutely, he makes it very clear that he will conquer evil and he has the humility to bow. Kingship isn't his reward, it's his burden by virtue.
Kneeling in front of the hobbits is an (well deserved) act of biblical proportions. And quite appropriate as well, he knew how much all of them owe to Frodo.
A true King of men and a symbolism for virtue, not a tyrant feeding his own ego but treating others as his equals

@@evilsonic9999 there are thousands of stories about people who were small with body or wealth or health won the world.
Arwen and Aragorn’s kiss is SO satisfying. They don’t care that thousands of people are watching. They’ve waited long enough for this moment.
Lovely scene. One of my favorite moments was when Arwen saw Aragorn for the first time in a while and she was a bit shy about going to him and Elrond had to urge her on. You don't hear him say it, but his lips clearly say "go to him." and she does. The moment where Aragorn says "my friends. You bow to no one." is also very well done.
“You bow to no one” gave me chills 15 years ago and it still will no matter how many times I’ll watch this scene.
I cry every time!!
Why did the king bow to the hobbits?
@@lex1eleven really? 👀
the best scene in the whole series
@@lex1eleven Because they defeated Sauron when no one else could. They did what Aragorn's ancestor failed to do. And what Aragorn himself knew he couldn't do. They threw the ring into the fire.
after all this years you just realize that this lvl will be never reached again.
Avengers, GoT, Star Wars if you look back all of them they are not even close.
LOTR was to early in our cinema history.
Not even in the same universe to be close, we will never see masterpiece like this again.
I have different opinion but okay.
@@antoo4953 you can name 1 and tell why ?
I think the Dark Knight Trilogy comes close but I still have LOTR over it
@@ericklajara8641 Naah, great trilogy for sure bur far far away from this ageless masterpiece.
I always found the way Viggo (Aragorn) kisses Arwen to be so funny. Aragorn was eager let’s say that 😂.
Well, after 39 years of having to limit himself to holding her (almost) at arm's length when kissing her and having just suffered all those months of fear and doubt (especially in the movies), I am glad that he allowed his heart to rule his head in that moment! Did you ever notice that he mouths "I love you" just after the second kiss? I find that so beautiful, especially since he is saying it while his eyes are brimming with adoration and wonder at having her there in his arms and the way in which he caresses her face speaks volumes
The two of them have to make Arwen's vision of a child come to pass somehow.
That subtle "go to him" from Elrond at 2:36. Hugo Weaving's performance in this trilogy was masterful.
The look on Lord Elrond’s face when Arwin steps away from him is phenomenal. No words and you know exactly what he’s thinking at that moment. Hugo Weaving is very under appreciated actor.
Well he mouths 'go to him' first
MR ANDERSON !
He’s thinking this version of the Matrix was interesting. Where is the reset button.
I seen this theaters as a teen. Now as a father, I see another father whose daughter is happy.
The way he visibly chokes up as he lets go of his daughter is incredible.
"My friends... you bow to no one!" If you haven't shed tears by now, then this will defeat and humble you.

Whole cast for this movie has been chosen perfectly. The Soundtrack by Howard Shore is one of the most beautiful scores ever composed. No one ever will be able to jump over the bar what Peter Jackson and whole crew has set in Cinematography. Absolute MASTERPIECE !!!!
All these years latter, "you bow to no one" still makes me cry.
Aragorn showed himself to be a truly great and wise leader in this scene. He came across as a king that would rule justly and be the best leader he could be.

I remember watching the trilogy in the cinema. Never have I seen everyone stand up and applaud them. It was an amazing thing to witness.
Lucky man I’m happy to know that it was like that I wish I could have seen it in theaters
Watching the extended edition in theatres might have been one of the greatest movie experiences I’ve had. The entire theatre was sobbing during the whole ending.
Viggo mortensen is just an incredible actor. the emotion he shows in his face when he sees arwren again then that beautiful piece of music kicks in gets every damm time
Not as strong as the emotion on Elrond face when he tells his beloved daughter to go and be with the love of her life.
@@toanphan9839 Hugo Weaving is incredible in two seconds he shows all that

Straight up 2:25 one of the best musical cues in any film. Howard Shore is un-f*cking believable - the LOTR soundtracks are unrivalled

"My Friends, you bow to no one." Easily one of the most sincere lines ever. That whole sequence was absolutely amazing.

@@zodiac909 just got done watching the extended versions again and i must say, youre right. These movies are just too damn good.
It's amazing what they did to Aragorn's appearance with must minor changes. Up until nearly the end, he looked like someone who lived outdoors - stringy, oily hair & a patchy beard. He looked a little better at the Battle of the Black Gate, with his hair pulled back and beard cleaned up some. Here, though, at his coronation, he has a plump, full beard & clean, shoulder-length combed-out hair that looks both noble and kingly. Props to whatever stylists did the work on that - the changes are subtle but the overall effect is anything but.
I love the part where Arwen is seen behind the flag, and when she walks to the king, behind her, her father has tears in his eyes, and he smiles. ❤😭😭
Hugo Weaving's genuine emotional expression breaks me every single time.
"My friends... You bow to no one." A line that will forever live in cinema history. The way it was delivered. The people, and the King, all kneeling to those brave Hobbits. It will give me chills every time I see it, hear it and even think about it. This trilogy truly is a masterpiece.

I think Tolkien would be astonished at how his books and the movies Peter Jackson made from them have touched people around the world...because of his vision of goodness, sacrifice and selflessness, kindness and love, courage and honor, and perseverance in the service what is right and good--all those "outmoded" things have come back into fashion for tens of millions because of him. He has moved hearts and minds in his own way toward a vision that reflects the love and reverence he had for his God and his Savior. Make no mistake--the Lord of the Rings is at base a profoundly Christian story..
20 years... 20 years have passed since this masterpiece and guess what?... You guessed right, it's the best trilogy ever made.

I love the look on Elrond's eyes as he urges his daughter forward. He's effectively giving her away to Aragorn, knowing he'll never see her again, and that pain is evident in his face, but he's still happy for her non the less. Its a fleeting look on his face but all the more powerful for it.
The tome of the Elves was waning but this child that would come would keep the magic there.
Master level Actor.
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 definitely...he's amazing.
All of this to continue his brother’s lineage, even if it will take his own flesh and blood to maintain the line of Elros Tar-Minaytur, the First King of Numenor.
The subtle gestures a great actor does that makes a scene that much more epic.
2:30 God, the casting was SO good. Hugo Weaving and Liv Tyler as father and daughter. That little bit of emotion on Elrond as he sees his daughter go is just such a nice detail.

That was what Elendil, the first high king of Gondor said when he first arrived in Middleearth from Numenor.

They both lost it with the destruction of the ring
False. The Half-Elves, which includes Elrond and Arwen, choose how their fate goes; how they are counted in terms of life and afterlife. Elrond chose, long before, to be counted among the Elves. Arwen chose Men.
elrond watching his daughter steping away from him breaks my heart every time. he knows his daughter is no longer a baby and you can feel the pride and sadness at the same time in his eyes while he lets her go forever... Hugo Weaving delivered a fantastic performance in the screen, we can't deny it.
Yes, but it's also seeing his child walk to her death (but the most beautiful death?)and the anguish she will experience of losing her people and her lover.
Arwen literally dies from a broken heart in the future.
I mean, Arwen was already 3000 year-old. but yes
And also his expression when Arwen and Aragorn are kissing - he's smiling and crying at the same time. He's happy for her in this moment but knows what her eventual fate will be. Amazing acting from Hugo Weaving.
really. I just saw him kinda just standing there, not very emotive. knowing Hugo's acting capabilities and how significant this moments is and how much he is been dreading it, but also anticipating even looking forward to it for the sake of the world, and the fulfillment of the prophecy... 2/5 for me
it goes deeper than that. he'll never see her again. she will never be able to sail west having chosen a mortal life. he'll never die and will always be without her.
I cried when Arwen appeared. The look on Aragorn's face! Such a beautiful moment 😢
This trilogy of movies did extreme justice to the memory of J.R.R. Tolkien. I read his books in my freshman year of college. They were the best thing that happened to me that year, '69-'70.
Look at Frodo and Sam's expression after the people's bow, they aren't smiling at all, unlike Merry and Pippin. It shows how their journey to Mordor changed and affected them the most.
yeah well merry and pip are smiling, sam is serious and frodo is pouting...like : 'is this all for me'??
Merry wasn't really smiling -- he had a kind of WTF? expression on his face. Pippin was sort of "well isn't this nice", but he's the youngest so it's natural that he doesn't get the solemnity of the situation.
I don't really think Frodo was pouting. However, it is really hard to describe his expression. Sadness? Pain? Solemnity? Emotion? It doesn't really seem to fit in those categories to me. I'll just quote what my best friend says when she can't describe an emotion or expression: mixed feelings. I suppose the seriousness of Frodo's and Sam's face came from their change after Mordor.
Ronin Elenion I know, I know, replying 2 years later... :) along with all the previously mentioned emotions, Frodo seems to be looking around, finally realizing how many people he's helped. He left to save the Shire, and just now is seeing how many other people he's helped to save as well. He's floored.
Frodo and sam's journey to the mt. Doom were traumatic.. They just didnt heal yet..
I'm not gonna cry, i'm not gonna cry.......fuck!
+Jacob Snyder Sorry, I'll cut the onions Elsweyr.
+Jacob Snyder I'm always crying at this moment and when Frodo are goes on ship with Gandalf :(
😢😢😢
Every damn time
Strange that I've never cried while watching this movie, not even when Frodo left, I just smiled, knowing that they are all where they belong now.
*Aragorn is crowned*
I'm not gonna cry.
*Arwen appears*
I'm not gonna cry...
"My friends..."
I'M NOT GONNA CRY....
"...you bow to no one."
SHUT UP, I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Don't feel bad. Everyone does! (that has any semblance of a heart)
It's been 20+ years and still every time this scene makes me cry. What an action! And what an incredible talent of the director to perfectly match the actor(s) to the character(s)!
2:42 look at Elrond.
Pained to see his daughter leave him, and the Elves, behind.
Knowing what will eventually happen to her.
But for the moment. He is happy for her. And he makes himself show it.
Strong elf! Strong old soul!
he will be sad when she goes away, but even happier that she lived an entire life with someone she truly loved
yes it brings tears
_"I'm not going to cry this time."_
_"I'm not going to cry this time."_

DAMMIT!
Same here.😫
Didn't work, did it. And if you have a heart and a soul, it never will.
@@jefftappan3091 💗😢
@@m.layfette6249 I'm curious. What was your reply to whatever I said?
@@jefftappan3091 Why not? This whole entire scene is One the most epic in cinema history. Here you have a once reluctant King bowing his knee to the 4 Hobbits who saved the Entire world. The part I 💗 the most and what Really makes me 😢 is seeing the whole kingdom bow down in loyalty and respect for not only the hobbits but for their king as well. Respect is not given it earned by one's actions, deeds and kindness toward your fellow man.
20 years later…watching again 🥹👍
I love all the little details in this that I've finally noticed in what feels like my 100th viewing. The crown detailing, the tree blossoming, Gimli all dressed up. The citadel guard and their awesome uniforms, the rohirrim's royal guard uniforms, Eomer, Faramir and Eowyn looking brilliant in their ceremonial garb. And the elves of course. Every extra is beautiful and looks how you'd imagine them. Everything is just on point.
The moment when he bows before the Hobbits is the only one where I shed a tear. Such a powerful message. No one is too little to be great. It never would have happened without the Hobbits, and he knew thar very well. Respect was paid where it was due. And their humble reaction makes it even more poignant.
This is deep.. and correct. Thank you :)
Got me too
Not merry looking like he deserves it all lol
I broke just before that line. When Aragorn said, "My friends...." man in that moment I was thinking, so great he was, finally assumed the role of King, finally gets his love, and there in the highest moment of his life, he saw the four little halflings... bowing before him, and he remembers everything they did.
The look of confusion from the Hobbirs too. "Did we bow to him wrong?"
And then he drops that line... damn. Emotional. Touching. Amazing.
What about boromirs death? You didn’t shed any tears?
0:35 Just imagine being crowned king by literally an angel. It takes the phrase "divine right of kings" to a whole other level.
And maybe this is how it was in the beginning.
@@rconger384 Oh of course! But siriously... in the beginning the biggest son of a bitch becomes a king and his grandsons starts to made up stories like this to give importance to themselfes. Otherwise onother son of a bitch might came and ake power from them.
Only losers will believe into such rubbish 🤣🤣🤣
@@bhekidlamini1199 No, in the Lord of the Rings universe Gandalf *was* sort of an angel. So was Saruman.
@@urthboundmisfit he was a maiar..the lotr angel
Ugh my God that gorgeous scene where Aragorn finally reunited with the love of his life. That music.. they use that music in the same scene that Arwen’s dad tries to tell her why she shouldn’t be mortal. That music brings that sense of longing.. and for it to be used in their reunion is a full circle moment. It’s gorgeous. It’s like.. their longing has been put to rest & now they can live together happily ever after. 😭🥰😌
I love the acting we get from Viggo here. He is clearly stressed and worried up until the moment of understanding comes between him and Arwen. When he kisses her the second time and you see his face, you can practically feel the relief emanating from him as he knows that at last he will be at peace.
"My friends, you bow to no one." The King, knowing that without the 4 little Hobbits, he wouldn't be standing there, and proceeds to kneel down to them. This, to me, truly is one of the most touching scenes in cinema history.
It is the scene that made us and our parents cry, still making, and always will make, no matter how much times we watch it.
Physically the weakest, morally the strongest and the bravest. Aragorn recognizes this.
Agreed.
En ese momento demostro lo que es ser un rey
This was one of Tolkien’s themes. The Hobbits were not exceptionally strong, skilled or magically powerful. They looked up to - literally and figuratively, those who we perceive to be the heroes. We wish to be the Aragons and the Gandalfs of the world and yet Tolkien shows it’s the Hobbits, the everyday folk, who make the world a better place in our own little ways.
Girls: OMG How could you not cry at the titanic ending?!
Boys:
I love you
😅girls love lotr too.Who doesnt?
Touchee bro
Can’t one be a fan of Titanic AND The Lord of the Rings?
Lukas Miller yes they can
Aragorn is one of my biggest role models. Perfect example of what a man should be.
A true king recognizes those without whose help he could not have succeeded.
He bows to them even if he outranks them.
THAT is true greatness.
No it shows that Aragorn recognises the greatness in them (and their deeds in the film outrank everyone else's) and bows because without them he, his wife the kingdom all of Middle Earth would not have survived. They owe EVERYTHING to them.
Elijah Wood gives such a powerful performance here without uttering a word. You can see the pain on his face, that he has a hard time being happy and that he just isn’t at peace. Makes you understand why he had to leave Middle earth.
Sam also looks uneasy. That makes sense, as Sam was with Frodo every step of their hazardous, difficult journey, which they had not expected to survive.
I always interpreted his expression in this scene as someone who's simply overwhelmed by the moment and is awkward. I dont blame him, its embarrassing to save the world lol
To me Frodo’s expression speaks of “I do not deserve this”. Because at the very moment of truth he failed to let go of the ring.
I never saw it like that. Of course he isn´t completely at peace, but at this moment, in this huge foreign beautiful city with all the important people around, the High King of Gondor and Arnor is kneeling in front of them and they are just overwhelmed with emotion. They did it because it had to be done, they did it to help their friends, to protect their home. And here they are getting the praise they deserve, but they don´t really think they are worthy of. They are seeing all they actually accomplished.
@@tommoore2012 That's a good point. Without Samwise the Brave, and without Golem taking it at the last second, that ring doesn't get destroyed. What they did was truly courageous, but ultimately, they were lucky to succeed. I always wondered why he made such a weird face at that time, and maybe that's why.
“Then Aragorn took the crown and held it up and said: ‘Et Earello Endorenna utulien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn Ambar-metta!’ And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: ‘Out of the Great Sea to Middle-Earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.’”- J. R. R. Tolkien
I cannot tell you how much I WISH Tolkien was still alive today.
Jon Snow said: "I dun want eet"
beautiful
Aragorn's most powerful line ever imo. This is no longer Aragorn the Ranger, but Aragorn II Elessar. By taking Elendil's oath, he has now come to truly embrace who he really is. Now this to me is an exceptionally powerful line especially knowing that among Elendil's descendants, Aragorn was the one who was most like him. They're also the greatest among the kings of Men
And also it was like a huge, long awaited, posthumous middle finger from Elendil to a now puny Sauron
you can keep listening to this amazing vocals !!
'My friends you bow to no one' is the best quote ever to this day 😢
20 years later…still getting goosebumps..when all bow..and the song kicks in….damn
This scene is perfect in every way. Jackson's achievement in adapting Tolkien's work for the big screen will never be surpassed. I never tire of this scene.
I couldn’t agree more
There are three parts of this that stand out for me -- all facial expressions. The first is when the crown is placed on Aragon's head, and you can see the weight of responsibility come crushing down. The second is the look on Elrond's face as he loses his daughter to a mortal life with Aragon. The last is the haunted look on Frodo when everyone kneels -- he's beginning to realize that there is no way back to the shire for him.
amen
But it doesn't represent the current times very well. Aragon should be a disabled obese black man and gimly should be an obese black dwarf. See Rings of Power for how to do Tolkien correctly.
@@grog3514 your sarcasm is so good i got confused for a moment
Came here after watching GOT FInale. An ending like this I wanted
And the hobbit had a better ending than GoT. I dont know how those two dick heads can fuck up the biggest series in history so fucking bad.
Or breaking bad but instead we got dexter
Yeah Seriously.
@@TheGuitarpro3 Star Wars.
jeff jeff And they didn’t please no one with their ending so I don’t know your point.
Not only is this a fantastic moment for Aragorn and the rest of them there, but also to Gandalf. His entire time on Middle-Earth was to fight to get to this very moment, over thousands of years and across thousands of miles. He gave himself to see this moment brought to fruition.
“In that moment, 4 hobbits, little people of the shire, stood taller than all the kings of men”
You can see the PTSD in Frodo’s & Sam’s eyes /facial expressions vs Merry & Pippin’s, this is truly amazing acting.
Let's not forget Peter Jackson's directing too, he was the one who told them how they were supposed to emote
@@thecianinator absolutely, he’s a genius. 😀
Great observation
@@Peteavt16 Thank you 🥰
Frodo's brokenness is a metaphor for Tolkien's own PTSD after the Great War
I think part of what makes the line "My friends, you bow to no one!" so powerful is the amount of sincere emotion Aragorn says it with. He knew better than most what the four of them had endured, willingly. Their sacrifice, bravery and strength of spirit were unmatched by anyone else that was a part of the war of the ring, and Aragorn knew it. Viggo delivered it perfectly, as he did every little thing as Aragorn in the entire trilogy.
At that moment 4 little Hobbits stood taller than all the kings of men
Viggo Mortensen was just perfect as Aragorn.
Seriously, as far as the movie scripts go, as i have forgotten practically most of the book, all 4 of the hobbits played pivotal roles in turning the tides in the favor of men. 1. Frodo carried the ring. 2. Sam made it possible for Frodo to carry the ring. 3. Pippin's curiosity in delving into the black stones exposed Sauron's plans to Gandalf, which compelled him to move quickly to Gondor to prepare for war. Also, Pinpin lighting the beacon of SOS. 4. Pipin and Merry practically were responsible for Saruman's elimination from the grand equation by getting the Tree worgs (or whatever their name is) to wage war against him. Merry's backstabbing of the king of the ring wraiths allowed Eowyn to defeat him. These hobbits achieved incredible feats!!
@@Dizpoza you forget how Merry and Pippin pretty much sacrificed themselves so Frodo could escape. They knew that all that was waiting for them was torture and death at the hands of the Uruk Hai. Merry and Pippin deserve as much credit for throwing the Uruks off Frodo’s trail. Glad that the 4 of them got this tribute.
@@Dizpoza Awesome comment! Don’t forget the movie scenes in Moria. If Frodo didn’t request that the Fellowship go there and Pippin didn’t accidentally knock a bucket down a well and provoke orcs, Gandalf wouldn’t have fought the balrog, fallen off the bridge, died, and become Gandalf the White, a much, *much* more powerful version of himself who was more able to help everyone win at the end.
Eines der schönsten dieser Trilogie❤
Ja!❤
Of all the epic scenes and dialogues "You bow to no one" stands apart ...... Full of emotion and respect... Brings happy tears everytime
Elrond's expression at 2:37 breaks me. He mutters "go to him" to Arwen so fondly, but the moment she moves away from him his expression contracts and you can tell he's trying not to cry because this is it. This cements her decision that she won't be going West with him, that she'll never see her mother again and he'll live an eternal life hoping she had a long, happy, fulfilling life of her own, but never really knowing (unless of course, his sons stay long enough to witness their sister's fate).
Wow. I never noticed that before (and I've watched this movie about 20 times). Thank you for pointing that out, even though it made me cry!
Oh man I'm crying again :'(
Esther N Interesting.... But if you read the books, you notice that Elrond promised Aragorn to give Arwen's hand in marriage once he got the crown. Aragorn does all of this for love.
well... In fact, yes hahahahaha
Grey Warden Dude he is removed from her by several thousand years of generations, I think he's fine :P
Also, Elladan and Elrohir do stay in Middle Earth for a LONG dang time. We don't even know for sure if they ever chose to leave or if they chose the mortal path afforded the descendants of Elrond.
Elrond: happy for his daughter's happiness, but close to tears as she chooses to give up her immortality and he will never see her again.
Arwen's happy laugh as her heart's desire finally becomes reality and she and Aragon become one.
Aragon: fulfills his destiny and becomes High King.
A masterpiece of a scene. Truly epic and beautiful.
Thank you Peter Jackson.
The road goes ever ever on.

But it's a bittersweet moment, because everything Elrond predicted will come to pass.
Well, technically she didn't die but fell asleep for eternity in Galadriel's forest.
Um, actually she did not die. You have to read the appendices. If you do, you learn that Lord Elrond actually sends a ship back for her. This is also the ship that Sam takes.
One of the - if not THE - most emotional scenes I have ever seen in a movie.
After all these years, this scene still hits like a truck. Everything that happens here is done so beautifully, there's nothing these days that comes even close to how utterly glorious LOTR was/is.
I always found Elrond whispering, "Go to him." to be one of the most touching things in the films.
is true!! I've never noticed it, you can see the pain on his eyes, also the joy to see her daughter happy :')
@@EB-tr2ly My mum always said that the sheer emotion on Elrond's face perfectly captured what it is for a parent to 'give away' their offspring. Weaving nailed it.
@@olster2074 He knows his daughter, by going to Aragorn, loses her immortality. He will not see her in the Undying Lands and will thus lose her forever. But he gives his blessing out of love for her.

Same 😄
That "I have a surprise for you" look...
3:51- “My friends… you bow to no one.”

It's good to see Hugo Weaving smiling. A rarity in his roles! Except for the crazy Smith laugh in Matrix Revolutions....
