+Areli Gunner Agree. Cage is a very good actor, but I dunno like.. something about his physical appearance would not suit the character. A bit too friendly looking.
@@SilentDanDisney Frodo didn't choose to put the Ring on; it was the other way around. Sauron took advantage of the Ring being in the air to draw the Nazguls to it by having it land on Frodo's finger.
@@Galaxy_Alex2023 as aragorn is a ranger and a friend of gandalf, he was told by gandalf to guard the shire and outskirts of Bree with the other dunadans/ rangers. he was also told to specifically look for frodo by gandalf while the wizard was himself away on a mission. this isn't shown clearly in the movies as to how aragorn happened to be in the prancing pony at the same time as frodo but the books make it clear that aragorn was a friend of gandalf and was looking for frodo.
Aragorn is such a great character. If Frodo is the everyman, Aragorn is the fully realized hero. He is strong, brave, ready to lead, willing to listen to his peers and to acknowledge criticism. We should be grateful to Tolkien for writing this amazing character and to Viggo for playing him to the best of his ability.
I have a new-found friend who is like him, and I am so grateful and happy! It's something wonderful to know someone you'd be glad to fight alongside with and die for.
Not a single fantasy movie has even come close to the greatness of this trilogy. Even The Hobbit was piss in comparison. Wish i could experience the movies like the first time i saw them in the cinema. Damn they're good!
+Oliver Adam Even the Hobbit? *Especially** the Hobbit! I'll never forget the Unexpected Disappointment, the Desolation of Tolkien and the Battle of the CGI
Yeah, it's probably close to as good as it gets. Tolkien's universe is unmatched, and Peter Jackson was perfect for this trilogy. But, like with Lucas after ending the star wars trilogy, he never managed to do as well again. Although, I guess, Lucas did a really good job with the Indiana Jones trilogy afterwards.
@@EdouardPicard0224 Yep…Just like Vinman’s Bakery said. The way they came through the place,blade in hand. They were freaking blazing through it…Nothing could stand in their way! What an intense feeling of dread….The mark of great visual storytelling.
It's the little moments with the hobbits I love. Portraying them as domestic and simple without making them punch lines was no easy feat, in writing or acting, and things like when they burst in to fight Aragorn...so innocent.
@@twiliblade Yes, I'm reading the chapter The Scouring of the Shire, and I'm impressed with the hobbits' hardiness for such little people. I'm actually cheering them on as I keep reading!
I like how Aragorn, when he grabs Frodo, he somewhat looks like one of the Nazgul, with that black hood, and then when Frodo asks him "what are they", he turns his head, with the scream in the distance, that also looks like it's coming from within, suggesting that he has some inner demons, maybe that he's struggling not to become one of these damned kings. Later he becomes real king. Epic stuff.
Flibbertigibbet6 Hit the nail on the head. I’d do the same thing. Better to be in exile then near a temptation that could destroy you especially with the amount of power the ring has once it has its grip on you.
The hobbits are really adorable. They think their friend is in danger so what do they do? Storm into the room with nothing but a chair, some candles and bare fists. Brilliant.
01:16 Sam is such a badass, bursting into a room ready to beat up a grown man three times his size and armed with a sword with his bare hands. And Pippin is carrying a chair for support lol.
"To Rivendell Master Gamgee". Always felt the disappointment in Aragorn's words, like he's used to being scorned, but was somehow expecting more from a group of people he's randomly risking his life to protect.
I feel like that was just Aragorn's way of politely letting the hobbits know that there's no point in trying to have a secret conversation around him, since his hearing is so acute that he can hear every word they're saying.
I think it's kind of fascinating that orcs used to be elves and the ringwraiths used to be humans. Just imagine what they must have gone through to end up like that...
It's actually debated whether or not Orcs were once elves. Tolkien himself had actually wanted that piece of information taken out, yet his son Christopher had it included. The consensus amongst Tolkien historians was that Orcs were just twisted parodies of the elves created by Melkor; Melkor then spread the idea that they were once elves to drive fear into his enemies at the time.
Bernd Horn He's the only one able to create life with free-will, such as the elves and men. The orcs don't have free will, though. All they know how to do is destroy and make warfare; they're unable to create or grow or break free of their chains.
TheThoughtAssassin no no no. They have a free will and have their own leaders like the ones from the misty mountains which battled the dwarves for centuries (azog, or the leader of the pack in moria in lord of the rings 1, the book) they are even loyal to him. and they even build up own societies and cities, its stated they took a capital in the misty mountains which ones belonged to the dwarves, which induced this special hate between orcs and dwarves, and cause they live both in holes. They have a free will but are easy to manipulated. but so are the humans. They also fought for sauron. So either melkor could create life with free will, or he just changed the elves which seems more realistic. He later on even mixed them with humans to get some uruks, so who knows
They weren't even close to the wisdom of elves and men. Tolkien's definition of "free will" didn't necessarily mean the ability make simple choices, but the ability to be free of a master or controller. The Goblins were always subservient to either Melkor or Sauron, and their "cities" were crudely constructed slums. They couldn't create art or literature; they couldn't love or feel "human" emotions like the elves, dwarves, and men can. Here's a quote on the matter: "According to the oldest "theory" proposed by J.R.R. Tolkien (found in The Fall of Gondolin, from The Book of Lost Tales, circa 1917 - the first tale of Middle-earth to be written in full), Orcs were made of slime through the sorcery of Morgoth: "bred from the heats and slimes of the earth".[29] However, it is consistently stated in Tolkien's other writings, with regard to his creation myth, that only Eru Ilúvatar (God) can create new life from nothing. Therefore, by whatever means the orcs came into being, it is certain that either they were "descended" from other beings or a deliberate manifestation of Ilúvatar's thought." It's the idea that Morgoth created a twisted parody of the elves, but completely lacking what made them beautiful and wise. I'm not saying that they absolutely didn't come from corrupted elves, but that this "theory" is the most prevailing school of thought.
all 3 of the central protagonists gave historic performances. In all likelihood, Elijah, Viggo, and Ian will be the definitive portrayals of Frodo, Aragorn, and Gandalf.
I feel like Viggo Mortensen never gets enough credit as an actor. He was great as Aragorn, and A History of Violence was also amazing. Understandably he'll always be recognized as Aragorn, but the man is a heck of a talent.
The movies went ultra low-magic for some reason (even lower magic than Tolkien did), but the rangers, due to their Numenorean ancestry, do have the magical ability to avoid being detected unless someone is specifically trying to find them.
@@teddybear5788 why aren't cloaks more normal to wear outside of cosplays. They look awesome and really warm, and they flow out behind you when you walk. I love the look of medieval clothes, especially dresses and ball gowns.
@@lisahenry20 Totally agree! I absolutely love the feeling of a cloak flowing behind me when I dress up for fancy dress parties and stuff. And I can't seem to find a jacket that suits me! >.
I just watched when Aragorn has his coronation. It's so amazing to think that this man, a ranger who sits in the inn smoking pipeweed will one day become king. Barliman Butterbur can tell people that the king of gondor used to visit his inn :D
That’s my kind of persona. I’d rather sit in the back in the shadows in a corner and go unnoticed and watch those all around me watch me while I watch them watch me. I guess there’s a reason why I got Aragon that character quiz which are you.
1:15 damn these hobbits are really the most loyal and bravest characters in the whole triology. Even if they have no skills. They are willing to die for Frodo and take any risk to defend him.
Alex Finch The way the innkeeper reacts, as the swords glide by... It brings across the futility of fighting these beings. Your only hope is to hide and pray they don't notice you.
Poor Mister Butterbur. Had to hide in his own inn as the Nazgul ransacked the place. While he didn't get much recognition in the movie, in the book he did a lot to help Frodo and his friends.
porpus99 And because of his stupidity Frodo got stabbed by a Morgul Blade. If he had managed to deliver Gandalf's letter, Frodo would have left before the Nazgul got the order to hunt him, so everything would have been fine. Butterbur was one of the guys who made everything worse.
Keylorie He’s a busy man, and he did tried to send that message, but theres no one willing to take it to the Shire. Also, unlike in the movie, he actually stood guard as best as he could against the Nazgul(who instead of entering the inn openly burst through the windows of Frodo’s rooms), and continue helping the Hobbits even if that means defying Mordor.
All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are not reached by the frost From the ashes a fire shall be woken A light from the shadows shall spring Renewed shall be blade that was broken The crownless again shall be king I wish they had left this in the movie
1:15 an underrated scene to be sure and one of the reasons why Samwise is such a great friend, no weapon at all and is in front with his fists out saying “Square up Strider!!!” 😂😂 love it
You know in theatres, I thought that Frodo and company traded rooms with 4 other random hobbits to stay with Aragorn. Hence the Nazgul stabbed these 4 other random hobbits. That would of been really dark.
For all of my fellow D&D enthusiasts who also love LotR, remember this rule of thumb: When you play the Ranger Class, you playing as *this guy* not Legolas.
@@Nevarden It did not. From memory the Nazgul never entered Bree, it was a mob of citizens of Bree, riled up by some of Sauron's human spies, who broke into the Hobbits' room to kill them.
1:45 is one of the coolest entrances ever. The terrified bartender and the Nazgul just almost hovering over the ground in the background. Per-fucking-fection
The way Aragorn compliments the Hobbits here and Eowyn in the Two Towers is brilliant. Never coming across as condescending, but always realistic, while showing the character traits he values as a hero: courage.
Aragorn Stellar they’re basically spirits that simply can’t move on to the afterlife. Not sure if Sauron can do much harm to them. They already have to suffer being tied to the ring for eternity... or at least as long as the ring still exists. Seems like torture enough to me.
Well it was Sauron's fault, he didn't want to pay all the overtime for a 24-hour search and the Wraith Union rules set strict limits on haunting and terrorizing during daylight hours.
I’ve always loved the juxtaposition of the nazgul and frodo. Sauron doesn’t send orcs or lesser henchmen to start looking for Frodo. He sends the very thing that Frodo may become if he falls to the Rings influence.
If only I saw these films in the theaters. I wasn’t born when fellowship and two towers were released. I was 4 months old when Return of the King was released
So they saw Frodo get snatched by a big scary man and they were gonna fight him off with a lit chandelubra a chair and Sam's bare hands? Heart warming for sure but not likely to work
I've been in love with this trilogy ever since I was a kid and I always love Aragorn's reveal/intro here. It's simple, subtle and a silent excitement for us.
The most important element that made these movie scenes immortal and it's exactly what misses from modern movies: Epic Soundtrack!!! Without these LOTR films would be half dead!!!
Spihk heart bust!? Can you use Bozeman Hotmail Recipient's Roomies Ghnavel Feces to spihk heartbust all all time mates internet friends for people in Planet of the Apes movies with Bozeman Hotmail Recipient and Patriots Server Janice Lahai!?
Someone said they didn’t buy Mortensen as a king, they said he played a soldier perfectly but he didn’t believe that he was the one who would be king. I’m like yeah! That’s the whole point of his whole arc? Mortensen is the perfect actor for Aragorn, every casting choice is perfect in this series
Nazgul: 'Should we make some noise first?' Nazgul 2: 'Why would we do that? We're trying to be stealthy here.' Nazgul: 'Oh, c'mon, it'll be funny.' Nazgul 2: 'How would that be funny?' Nazgul: 'Trust me, you'll see.' *smushed poor door guard under heavy gate* Nazgul 2: 'I take it back. You were right. That was funny.'
Pippin was quite intelligent in the book too and something about his dialogue always made me imagine him as a rather "posh" sounding hobbit like Frodo. The actor is great and I've got no problem with the accent but they wrote him to be the clown of the group for some reason.
Yeah, the Nazgul were like: "We Shall Pass!". And I love the last part of this clip. The Hobbits are all whispering, thinking Aragorn can't hear them, then all of a sudden he answers the question of Sam, who's all the way at the back of the line xD.
Spihk Heartbust!? Analyze & discuss people showing hatred towards Bozeman Hotmail Recipient because Bozeman Hotmail Recipient brings people to slavery!?
Whenever I get to this scene, I feel sad for the gatekeeper, and the innkeeper. Look at the poor man's face. And didn't anyone warn the poor gatekeeper?
I was shaken when the Nazgul infiltrated the inn and i thought they stabbed the hobbits. But found out they were stabbing feathered pillows only. That was so crazy scary.
(Me speaking in a Dalek Supreme voice): "Viggo Mortensen was definitely the PERFECT choice to portray Aragon, son of Arathorn in the Peter Jackson Lord of The Rings" Trilogy!"
It was much different in the novel. The Black Riders don't storm the town or attack the inn, they instead wait in the shadows the whole time. When they hear about Frodo's "accident" from spies that were in the inn at the time, they hire some thugs to sneak into the bedroom that the hobbits were booked for, ransack the beds (which had decoys placed inside them), and then climb out through the windows before anyone sees them. One of them also steals a horse from the stables and causes all the other animals (including the ponies the hobbits had) to run loose across the countryside, forcing the group to buy Bill the Pony.
Jon is either 15 or around 18-19, at the start, depending on whether you go by the books or show. Viggo is...quite a lot older. I could see him more as a Barristan type character. An old, tough, grizzled fighter. Thr Blackfish
Aragorn is my favorite character. His whole evolution from Ranger, to protector, to King is amazing. His entire character was perfectly executed by Viggo

SamuraiNinjaRockStar it's still nine 😂lol
Still nine lol

For all of my fellow D&D enthusiasts who also love LotR, remember this rule of thumb:
When you play the Ranger Class, you playing as *this guy* not Legolas.
😂
Has anyone noticed that at 3:42 Aragorn's arrow hit the camera that was recording?
Not a camera, the Eye of Sauron
Saurons hunter cam
I literally searched for: ''LET HIM GO OR I'LL HAVE YOU LONGSHANKS''
1:16😁
Sam's got some guts, I'll give him that
@@memine8795 Especially when he takes on the Witch King 😲
1:32
R.I.P bree gate guy, flattened to a pancake by nazgul
@G E T R E K T 905 did this happen in the books
@@Nevarden It did not. From memory the Nazgul never entered Bree, it was a mob of citizens of Bree, riled up by some of Sauron's human spies, who broke into the Hobbits' room to kill them.
@@DoctorXander wow quite the difference! Thx!
"You cannot hide." That voice will forever send chills down my spine!
I just watched the trilogy. Now I want to watch it again, lol.
"Are you frightened?"
"Yes."
I guess "No shit, Sherlock" wouldn't have sounded very Tolkeiny :|
1:45 is one of the coolest entrances ever. The terrified bartender and the Nazgul just almost hovering over the ground in the background. Per-fucking-fection
The way Aragorn compliments the Hobbits here and Eowyn in the Two Towers is brilliant. Never coming across as condescending, but always realistic, while showing the character traits he values as a hero: courage.
The fact that Sam came charging in bare-handed and was ready to fight a guy twice his size
I remember in the cinema when Aragon removed his hood, quite a few ladies went ‘Phwoar!’ Bloody gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️
but men are the shallow ones... arent they
I wonder if Sauron often chewed the Nazgul's asses for letting the Ring slip through their fingers so many times.
Aragorn Stellar they’re basically spirits that simply can’t move on to the afterlife. Not sure if Sauron can do much harm to them. They already have to suffer being tied to the ring for eternity... or at least as long as the ring still exists. Seems like torture enough to me.
Well it was Sauron's fault, he didn't want to pay all the overtime for a 24-hour search and the Wraith Union rules set strict limits on haunting and terrorizing during daylight hours.
Actually they’re all being.... misled. Those old kings were kinda retarded, being so easy to manipulate. Even Sauron is lied to. Long story
I’ve always loved the juxtaposition of the nazgul and frodo. Sauron doesn’t send orcs or lesser henchmen to start looking for Frodo. He sends the very thing that Frodo may become if he falls to the Rings influence.
If only I saw these films in the theaters. I wasn’t born when fellowship and two towers were released. I was 4 months old when Return of the King was released
There's a lot of theaters that still have screenings.
I was too young to watch them. They would've scared me really bad. Still wish I could've experienced it in the theaters though!
Gotta love Sam the brave, he's so ready to save his friend Frodo by taking on a full-grown human with his bare fists
Quick tip: never underestimate someone who has always a clear hit to sterilise you.
I love LOTR, and honestly, I don't think anyone else could have played Aragorn like Viggo Mortensen. He IS Aragorn!
1:45 That smoke always got me chills
So they saw Frodo get snatched by a big scary man and they were gonna fight him off with a lit chandelubra a chair and Sam's bare hands?
Heart warming for sure but not likely to work
Hey, when it comes down to it, you do what you can. eg POTC COTBP, when Will told them to fire the cannons with silverware or anything they had.
@@hiswayservicesblog9288 I will give u that
They were 4 to be fair
I've been in love with this trilogy ever since I was a kid and I always love Aragorn's reveal/intro here. It's simple, subtle and a silent excitement for us.
So what I get from this is Aragorn is both a badass, and gets a kick out of trolling Nazgul.
Such a thoroughly aesthetically pleasing scene - beautiful imaginary all over!
The Hunt for the Ring will never end.
Give it a rest, buddy
The most important element that made these movie scenes immortal and it's exactly what misses from modern movies: Epic Soundtrack!!!
Without these LOTR films would be half dead!!!
2:34 was always a favorite. Aragorn's profile with those notes on the cello and bass. These films were beautifully scored.
Howard Shore.
Merry and Pippin left to pick up some veggies to the neighbour and came back a year later after saving the world...
It’s been year 😦
Pippins choice of weapon: a chair
Spihk heart bust!? Can you use Bozeman Hotmail Recipient's Roomies Ghnavel Feces to spihk heartbust all all time mates internet friends for people in Planet of the Apes movies with Bozeman Hotmail Recipient and Patriots Server Janice Lahai!?
4:07 that awkward moment when someone you're talking about behind his back heard everything you said
Now there's a scary thought!
Dunadains had enhanced senses
Someone said they didn’t buy Mortensen as a king, they said he played a soldier perfectly but he didn’t believe that he was the one who would be king. I’m like yeah! That’s the whole point of his whole arc? Mortensen is the perfect actor for Aragorn, every casting choice is perfect in this series
and to think that in the early drafts of the book Strider was a big hobbit with wooden shoes called Trotter...
Nope.
This movie still gives me chill... MASTERPIECE!
1:10 finally realized what that glance was all about...he could hear the hobbits coming up the stairs before we could
At 0:15 I heard "you'll Dumbledie" and I was like "... Did Sauron, the Dark Lord, just make a Harry Potter pun?"
1:14 - 1:19 My favorite underrated quote of the movie. I get a bizarre amount of usage out of it.
Frodo grew up hearing tales of Sauron and believed in his demise. To behold Sauron's spirit focused on him, taunting him, must have been chilling.
Nazgul: 'Should we make some noise first?'
Nazgul 2: 'Why would we do that? We're trying to be stealthy here.'
Nazgul: 'Oh, c'mon, it'll be funny.'
Nazgul 2: 'How would that be funny?'
Nazgul: 'Trust me, you'll see.'
*smushed poor door guard under heavy gate*
Nazgul 2: 'I take it back. You were right. That was funny.'
I love how quick Aragorn pulls his sword.
me- reads The Fellowship Of The Ring " I like Aragorn because he's tough but nice"
me- watched the movie sees Viggo "i LOVE Aragorn!" -Lol
I looove this scene ^u^ Aragorn is one of my favorite characters especially in this part... And Sam :')
Aragorn is my favorite character.
the undead getting punked by a ranger. haha beautiful
*King disguised as a ranger
Legolas: This is no mere ranger! He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn!
The ranger of the north also delayed the wraith's entry into the shire for a bit
hahaha Merry and his candles. Gonna burn the shit out of Aragorn hahaha
+1747CT Beware of Merry the Hobbit. He is going to save Middle Earth with his fire, bahahahah
Pippin was quite intelligent in the book too and something about his dialogue always made me imagine him as a rather "posh" sounding hobbit like Frodo. The actor is great and I've got no problem with the accent but they wrote him to be the clown of the group for some reason.
Kyle Whitehead i think that was a great choice
Is no one going to talk about that poor guy at 1:34 who was like FLATTENED?? TT
Yeah that was sad .
I kinda liked him
The Gatekeeper of Bree needed more love. R.I.P. Gatey. We shall go to war! FOR GATEY!
I just read this part in the book today. I had to come here and rewatch this scene. Viggo as Aragorn is perfect!☆☆☆☆☆
Yeah, the Nazgul were like: "We Shall Pass!". And I love the last part of this clip. The Hobbits are all whispering, thinking Aragorn can't hear them, then all of a sudden he answers the question of Sam, who's all the way at the back of the line xD.
Spihk Heartbust!? Analyze & discuss people showing hatred towards Bozeman Hotmail Recipient because Bozeman Hotmail Recipient brings people to slavery!?
Whenever I get to this scene, I feel sad for the gatekeeper, and the innkeeper. Look at the poor man's face. And didn't anyone warn the poor gatekeeper?
+Dawn El they did. read the book.;)
+Shaara1 So did he hide?
Fuck the gatekeeper
The gatekeeper was one of those who participated in the scouring of the Shire and betrayed Bree.
I was shaken when the Nazgul infiltrated the inn and i thought they stabbed the hobbits. But found out they were stabbing feathered pillows only. That was so crazy scary.
(Me speaking in a Dalek Supreme voice): "Viggo Mortensen was definitely the PERFECT choice to portray Aragon, son of Arathorn in the Peter Jackson Lord of The Rings" Trilogy!"
I love how they kick the gate to the town down, barge right in, and only bother to check the one room.
It was much different in the novel. The Black Riders don't storm the town or attack the inn, they instead wait in the shadows the whole time. When they hear about Frodo's "accident" from spies that were in the inn at the time, they hire some thugs to sneak into the bedroom that the hobbits were booked for, ransack the beds (which had decoys placed inside them), and then climb out through the windows before anyone sees them. One of them also steals a horse from the stables and causes all the other animals (including the ponies the hobbits had) to run loose across the countryside, forcing the group to buy Bill the Pony.
imagine if they gave viggo a role in game of thrones
I can imagine him as Jon
Jon is either 15 or around 18-19, at the start, depending on whether you go by the books or show. Viggo is...quite a lot older.
I could see him more as a Barristan type character. An old, tough, grizzled fighter. Thr Blackfish
(Accidentally pressed reply too soon) maybe or even someone like Kevan Lannister.
tyson thao
Or Viggo in Walking Dead. lol. I can't see him as anyone other than Rick.
sam was deadass prepared to throw down with aragorn lmao
Aragorn is my favorite character. His whole evolution from Ranger, to protector, to King is amazing. His entire character was perfectly executed by Viggo
You always put the one ring on the first time when youre drunk at a bar. Tolkein was a genius.
1:01 Strider/Aragorn reveals his face, to which Frodo asks, "Who are you?"
That man, Frodo, is the future king of Gondor...
Most powerful man in the Middle Earth
I prefer Aragorn as the mysterious stranger Strider
Nazgul so angry he flipped over the bed lol
"At all times they feel the presence of the ring." Can't feel the presence while they are just outside the window where the ring actually is
Merry: he's foul enough
Aragorn: douche
Aragorn straight up smelled bullsh** when Frodo said he carried nothing
What freaks me out is that the Nazgul are neither living nor dead.
Man Howard Shore really knocked it out the park with these choir sections
Aragorn is so charismatic , his voice ´s kinda hot ! Viggo was great , as most of actors of this movie were actually
Awesome. Thanks for posting these scenes, gotta love LOTR.
1:33 I probably laughed a little too hard.
+Dr. Cosmo Kramer Me too. God I felt so bad for the poor harmless guy haha. But there was deffo something inappropriately funny about it.
RIP Pillow Baggens
I find out recently that one of the Nazguls use to be a King of the Easterling's
Virgo’s first day on set after only a short time to prepare for the role of a lifetime…at least up to that point.
Viggo Mortensen is perfect as Aragorn!
2:45 Elijah Wood had to move out of the way of the camera and back...😂😂
