I forgot to mention that I hope you all are doing well, wherever you are in Middle-earth! Hopefully, you are all with me today in Doriath and beyond!
Yes, and TY. Let us also remember that Beren and Luthien was really the heart of Tolkien's legendarium, and everything else either leads up to it, or flows from it. This is the love story, along with Tuor's and Idril's, that basically saves the universe, and in Tolkien's fashion, it saves it past, present, and future.
Men of the west can you do a series about entire history of middle earth series in order of the books
Please make a video on Dol Amroth, Imrahil, and the Fiefdoms!
Would you do reviews on desolation of smaug and battle of the five armies
Fraz Maniar Yep! I need to watch those two again but I’ll add those videos to my list to make sure I don’t forget them! Cheers!
Take note: she was feminine, but not weak for it. Her femininity was, in fact, the source of her strength.
So many authors and politicians don't get it. But Tolkien... He got it.
@Bolaji Windapo She wasn't a badass amazon that could be replaced by a man. Her role in the story was destinct from a male archtype- feminine.
Many feminists pay lip service to the idea of men and women being equal, but insist in women takeing a masculine role. Acting like men. Like feminists secretly belive men are superior. Even as they tear down men for being masculine.
Tolkien's depiction shows that a woman can be a strong character without that. That women are strong for being women, just as he shows men are strong for being men.
Finally it has been said
Indeed!
Tolkien did also dabble in stories with "amazon" women though. Such as Haleth who took up the mantle of chieftain after her father and brother were slain by orcs. She led her people in exile and repelled orc raids and kept a bodyguard of women till the end of her life. Now it bears mentioning that this wasn't originally a culture of warrior women, but refugees picking up spear and bow after many of the adult men had been wiped out in battle, but the point still stands that Tolkien wasn't adverse to women with masculine traits. If anything, what stands out is that Tolkien never imposed an ideal of what women should be.
@@trolldrool women are idealized just as much in JRRT's fiction as any other, dude. It's fiction. The author can idealize people how ever they please to convey their work to the reader.
The only man of middle earth to hold and use a silmarl. Looked the valar melkor in the eye and won.
Why isn’t this a Movie with a “marvel” type budget?
@@raintamer8121 it would be destroyed by production making it PC friendly and burn our eyes worse than the hand of Melkor as it held the Silmarills.
@Laltluangliana Sailop i would be interested in what Jon Favreau would make. He could have a grand enough mind to see the age.
@Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicolvocanoconiosis I feel that. It would definitely be challenging to keep the average viewer hooked.
He also lost that hand so Varda's words that 'no mortal hand shall touch' the Silmarills remain true
Their tale blows any out of the water, Beren and Luthiens love triumphed over Impossible odds. Definitely my wife and I’s favorite love story.
Dennis Cleary Lúthien was Tolkien’s wife’s name in elvish. So this tale is really about JRR Tolkien’s and Ediths love. It really makes you appreciate it even more
Beren to Thingol, as written in The Silmarillion:
“My fate, O King, led me hither, through perils such as few even of the elves would dare. And here I have found what I have sought not indeed, but finding I would possess for ever. For it is above all gold and silver, and beyond all jewels. Neither rock, nor steel, nor the fires of Morgoth, nor all the powers of the Elf-kingdoms, shall keep from me the treasure that I desire. For Lúthien your daughter is the fairest of all the Children of the World. ”
I like how when melkor got a new name it became more goth sounding 😆
Well, like many rebellious kids, Melkor went through his "Goth" phase.
@@RobertWF42 It's not just a phase, Mum!
@@RobertWF42 It's a lifestyle
@@morgothbauglir5186 Yes, he's not just Goth, he's More-Goth. :-)
Ba-dum-tsss
Just want to point out the channel Clamavi De Profundis has an absolutely beautiful rendition of the Beren and Lithien poem that every Tolkien fan should hear at least once.
If they make anymore lord of the rings movies, this is my top pick...
Children of Hurin would be pretty epic too, even though it's a very sad story.
Amazon supposedly has signed an agreement with the Tolkien Estate and HarperCollins (publisher) to create some original stories set on middle earth based on his other writings. I have tried to find any links for current updates but you'd be better off searching on your own. Maybe the most complete description I found was this quote from a couple years ago:
“We are delighted that Amazon, with its longstanding commitment to literature, is the home of the first-ever multi-season television series for ‘The Lord of the Rings,’” said Matt Galsor, a representative for the Tolkien Estate and Trust and HarperCollins. “Sharon and the team at Amazon Studios have exceptional ideas to bring to the screen previously unexplored stories based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings”
@@BASEDinMaine So far all I've heard is they are working on a show on the second age so no Beren and Luthien yet.
@@BASEDinMaine Well......about that......
I hope this shows my love, for it is great. I am you servant, and you are my prince, my prince of joy. I long after you as a desert longs for fulfilling water. Endless streams stem from your voice, and I long endlessly
LOL what a guy! Thanks for the support man haha
Man that was EPIC.
Sauron in LotR is a great dark lord. He commands vast armies and everyone fears him.
Sauron in Silmarillion gets beaten by some elven maiden and her trusty hound.
I would like to eat Luthien for breakfast
Dior go to his parents and ask them
Dior:Hey dad how you meet mom
Beren:Oh big story don't like remember
Dior:Mom how you meet dad?
Luthien:big story, let it go kid
Dior:grandpa how did my parents meet each other
Thingol:Shut up
😆 wow so true
@@johnruiz4354 yeah
She fainted before his manace and breath? Savage 😂😂😂
You absolute savage
Its midnight, have to be at work by 630, had to stay up and wait for MOTW premier and its totally worth it.
There are two ways to tell a story;
This is the best of the comprehensive tellings, and the song preformed by Clamavi de Profundis is the best of the musical tellings.
Going through the audio book of the fellowship now with my wife, it's been years and I've forgotten how much it's different from the movies. Love the content and it's interesting to connect your content back into the original trilogy.
Such a beautiful story, one of my favorites. The start of many, great and sad, stories. On the grave of Tolkien and his wife is written Beren and Luthien.
Taking my lunch break with this great story, a twenty minute escape from work to Middle Earth 💕
More likely back to home.
Thank you so much for uploading this video!
Dude ive been listening to you for over a year and i gotta say you do quality videos! Definitely my favorite TH-cam channel of all! Please keep up the good work and as soon as i can afford it I'll hit up your patreon.
I really appreciate all the work you do. I've been binge watching you for the last week. You're amazing.
This was oddly soothing, and made for a great listen as I was doing some work - really enjoyed this, and appreciate all the work you put in, and you did a fantastic job on this remake
I've been refreshing since midnight for the new video. Thanks again yoysten!
Such a beautiful story - well told Sir! Thank you
I dont even know how many times I have watched or listened to these two videos ❤️. So good and you do them such justice, just a beautiful saga so beautifully told. Thank you 🙏.
Can’t wait for parts two and three! Thank you, mellon!
My favourite tale from the Legendarium! Thank you!
Tnx for bringing this story closer! After finding your channel I ended up buying Fall of Gondolin. Next book will be Children of Hurin and then Beren and Luthien. Keep up the good work!
My boyfriend and I named ourselves Beren and Luthien in FF14. God I love The Silmariliion so much. I'm about to read it once again. Thanks for the video! I love watching these as I read.
I love this story! Thanks for another great vid!
You present it so beautifully. Tolkien would be pleased.
Bruh, was literally looking for a Beren and luthien audiobook to listen to yesterday
Thank you
It's weird talking about werewolves and vampires in the world of Tolkien
It is pretty impressive how he wrote his stories with such an evolving timeline. The further you go into the past it's all gods, mortals and mythic monsters. As we go through the Third and Fourth Ages, it becomes less magical and technology becomes more prevalent. Almost like out own world.
It is his greatest tale and his saddest. It is absolutely the greatest love story ever told. I love Luthian Tinuviel as if she were real and in my heart she is.
You magnificent bastard. You melted my cold twisted heart.
There is do much Tolkien lore that most people don't know about. He was a master story teller and it great to have someone telling the stories most people will never hear. Love your channel 😍
200k subs, congrats!!
Men of the West, great video! Enjoy your Monday! 💯🙏🙌
This to me is the greatest adventure of Tolkien's storytelling. Good video brother👍
I knew this was coming when the old video disappeared. Yes I did watch it that often lol but I'm hyped for the retelling.
Again I just got to this part in the book lol. Good timing.
how can i ever thank u for this! 💕
Great video. Such an Interesting tale.
Telling this story in multiple parts now eh? I loved the old video so much I could listen to it on repeat for hours without tiring of it! This is so exciting to hear!
I’m glad to hear that! I hope these two parts will be able to add more detail than my original video!
Nice work dude thanks
Thanks i waited for the other parts before watching :)
Thank you, you saved me from an English assignment on External/Internal Conflict!
Hi Yoystan! Thank you so much remarking the first part on this tale! I was hoping that I can watch something on your channel, that can calm me down. A couple of days ago, I was starting to get sick from having a sore throat and a runny nose quite slowly. I hope this vid will help me get through with my sickness, and that you have a great week!

I’m sorry to hear that my friend! I hope you start to feel better soon! And thank you for the support! I’m glad my videos will be able to give you some company!
@@MenoftheWest So am I Yoystan, so am I!!!😊
Favorite story of Tolkien's.
Hey dude, should i read Christopher's edit? Or just stick to the Silmarilion for this story?
@@Surtur99 I've only ever read the Silmarillion version. I don't see why Christopher's edit would be bad to read though. I'm interested in reading it myself.
@@jfrizz199 Thx!
It is excellent..
But i Love the Children Of Hurin..
Very sad story all the same.👍
YES! THANK YOU!
Nice work dude
Amazing.
one of the greatest story in history within one of the greatest :D.
Thanks, Thanks and More Thanks for doing Part 1 of My Favorite Love Story in Middle Earth or Of All Time...
I don't normally Love certain Love Stories...But how a certain few writers did it, I am Happy...
And Tolkien's is Based of Him and Edith, that is a Huge Factor why I LOVE this one more!!!
Unfortunately, at this moment in my Life I don't have a Beren...I wish I do...Kind Of!!!
Thanks for doing Part 1 of Beren and Luthien...Until Part 2, Marion Baggins Out!!!
Beren and Luthien influeced also by Greek mythology Orpheus and eurodice
beautiful love story, deeply Romantic.
200,000 YOU DID IT!
Been waiting for this
Good tale. Good video. Good channel.
Yes this is one of my favorite storyes from the world of lord of the rings!
I just finished reading this yesterday and you upload this video. Lol
This makes my bus trip better
Awesome can't wait for the second part. Can you do a video about Thingol & Melián?
Such an amazing story! It's got everything - brilliant characters, abiding love, adventure, great valor and virtue, terrible evil and darkness, etc., etc. I'm surprised that no one has tried to make the movie yet ...
I pray not. Could you imagine what would happen if Hollywood got their hands on this story
@@couragew6260 unfortunately I know what you mean and agree. I wish it weren't so because it has such brilliant potential as a story but I believe your contention is well founded. Maybe someday ....
congrats on 200k mate keep it up
I wish that the Tolkien film was called "Of Ronald and Edith", since the story of their relationship inspired this tale.
Red Blaze that would have been lovely for us fans but may not bring people in I guess. Kind of like how John Carter movie should have been princess of mars
Red Blaze Ronald McDonald and Edith Bunker yeayy
My favorite story ever!!
Great story telling but the small details and dialogue is what makes the story!!
Great video Men of the West.
*Luthien best waifu ever*
Change my mind
Noob melkor this elf defeated you my noob master
@@darklordsauron398 Sauron that's enough, I had enough of your bullshit, you failed countless times and now it's time for you pay

Come here you little preak, I am gonna make your body an omelet
@@morgoth6273 oh I don't afraid 😂 😂 😂 you are in the void
@@darklordsauron398 really? Well fuck that!
I am gonna smash the Void, I am gonna smash the Valar but most importantly I am gonna smash YOU!
I would go for Arwen. Almost the same, easier because you don't have to go through all the fuss of the Silmaril
I love this story!
this story deserves its own movie
Agh, such a good story, and very well told by you! I love it, can’t wait for pt 2
I'm mesmerised by beren and luthiens story best of all Tolkiens stories
This might be my favorite story from the first age, it really is the greatest love story, i think tolkiens stories of elf maiden/man couples and the themes within are very relevant today more than ever
@Eternal Cowboy I definitely have the ears to be one
Greatest love story ever written. Beren is the greatest man to ever live, and Lúthien the greatest of the Eldalië.
Luthien is one of the best female characters of all time
Seems I heard you casts in reverse order. The lay of Beren & Luthian is my favorite of the Silmarillion. Totally cool that Tolkien saw his wife and himself or at least his kids did within these two and how the fates of all Middle Earth stemmed from thier love for each was bound. In truth what can stand against "True Love" to steal a line from "The Princess Bride."
I need the rest!!!
I always pictured Huan as a giant corgi.
Charles Dexter Ward LoL, now I can’t stop picturing a giant corgi stomping the shit out of Sauron
Man you should really do a reading of the middle Earth books you'd be great at it plus you'd actually appreciate the works and effort put in the books
I usually hate all romance stories. Just not my thing. I call myself the anti-shipper.
Tolkien is the only writer I can think of that makes me love his love stories!
I think there's something to that, because I don't care for most romantic stories either. I think the reason Beren and Luthien resonates with people is much of it is based on Tolkien's relationship with his wife. His description of Luthien, her dancing in the woods, her having a beautiful singing voice, all of that is based on various incidents with his wife. So even if it isn't a true story, it still rings true.
Bro, I absolutely love all of your videos, I I gotta ask what’s the song playing at 13:10?
I take it Annatar and Thuringwethil dislike this. Jokes aside, well done content!
They should make a Silmarillion Movie Trilogy. I would love to see the Romance of Beren and Luthien in theatres. 😍
So Lúthien is the Rapunzel of Middle-Earth. Sweet
Love this video and you got great voice and you should do audiobooks for lord of the rings, I would buy and listen to them
I can't understand why Luthien is s so rude with me.I just tried to talk her and then she released her dirty dog Huan and attacked me damn I hate this dog,I still feel pain on my ass.
Oh poor @Dark Lord Sauron.
@@hughgedney3393 I think I forgot to put Men's Cologne and I And I Stink that's why Luthien hited me
I have finally found the account I have been looking for
"Who is she? This woman you sing of?"
The crown jewel of the entire works or Tolkien; I must have read this tale a thousand times but tell me why I screamed NOOOOOO at the end of the vid cuz I wanted to hear the rest of the story 😅
Favorite story form the Silmarillion.
Everytime i hear or read this story and see fan fiction with Luthien, i wonder if she (and the story) would be possible to tell in a movie. Arwen and Galadriel is both considered very beautiful, but i think Luthien is another level of beauty. The beauty and purity of Luthien is what drives the story making her character so important, and perhaps the most important character in all the stories from Arda.
I hope Amazon never get their grubby hands on my favorite age and story from Tolkien
When is this gonna be made into a feature film?
This inspired Tolkien and edith bratt and arwen and aragorn
this is probably the only story i remember from the book, with the exception of the creation of the world.
In the silmarillion? Dang
18:45
Awesome pic lol
Sauron is not having a gud day.
First time I have seen him depicted with blonde hair.
True
Huan was a good boi. The best boi Arda has ever known.
💜
So sweet these names are on JJR and his wife’s headstones. I guess he had to wait a bit to marry her.
Thingol: You must recover a Silmaril
Beren: One doen not simply walk into Angband
All this will be on the Amazon show??
No
What does the name yoystan mean?
Evening Star
I'm kidding, I have no idea, but it's a nice name
