    The Three Runners [Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas] cover approximately 135 miles in 3 days. This equates to basically a full Marathon, three days in a row. In the text, Eomer comments on this feat as being worthy of song in its own right, but the war kinda prevented such celebration

    • @EmphaticNod
      @EmphaticNod ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Eomer being impressed with them - even naming Aragorn "Wingfoot" - is actually one of my favorite passages from the second book:
      "Wide wonder came into Éomer's eyes. 'Strider is too poor a name, son of Arathorn,' he said. 'Wingfoot I name you. This deed of the three friends should be sung in many a hall. Forty leagues and five you have measured ere the fourth day is ended! Hardy is the race of Elendil!"

    There are multiple, conflicting accounts on how orcs came to be. The two main ones (both invented by Tolkien) were that they were created via dark magic from the bowels of the earth OR they were tortured/corrupted elves. He didn't like EITHER of these ideas and had a really hard time working out what he wanted to do with them. He didn't like the first option because he believed evil cannot create, only destroy, so the idea that "evil magic" was capable of creating life was uncomfortable for him. However, he didn't like the second option either because that would mean orcs were sympathetic. As corrupted elves, it would mean that it wasn't their fault they were the way they were, which brings up a lot of moral questions with how they were treated by the "heroic" races of middle earth.
    Peter Jackson addressed this by Saruman implying that normal orcs were "elves once" but the super-roided out Uruk-hai were created by dark magic from bowels of the earth.
    Hope this helped.

      Yeah, having the Uruk-Hai made in the ground is a lot less horrific than the way they are described in the books, as Orcs half bred with humans. The thought of that is extraordinarily evil.

    • @ronweber1402
      @ronweber1402 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      My personal opinion on the orcs is that the original elf/orcs were likely long dead but their offspring have been breeding for thousands and thousands of years and are now their own thing far removed from their elf/orc ancestors.

    • @BradyRamaker
      @BradyRamaker ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Yeah its one of those iffy things that really puts Tolkein's works in a tight spot. The idea of an inherently evil race of intelligent beings has unfortunate implications. It's basically the same fundamental principle of irl racism, that certain races of people are just lesser, and have hard limits on their potential/capacity for more, and that justifies anything done to them. It's simply one of the main shortcomings of the story on a thematic level. The fact that JRR "Has a Lore Answer for Everything" Tolkein couldn't square this circle on this particular point shows that it's just sorta baked into the entire thing from the ground up which is a shame. You wind up with a detailed, beautiful world, with this ugly implied bit of "some races are just evil, idk" hanging in the air.

    I always believe that Frodo wants to believe that Smeagol can "come back" as he says... from being completely enslaved to the Ring... as Frodo wants to believe that he himself can keep from losing his own mind... If Smeagol can be "saved" then so can he... as I see it he fears himself going insane... becoming lost to the ring... the closer the get to Mt Doom the heavier the burden of the ring is and the more it puts a strain on him... So he wants to believe that Smeagol can be... and is "good". I think because Hobbits are essentially such simple folk... and really caring loving people... they aren't full of greed and desire... lusts and things like "normal" folk and humans... therefore I think they resist the temptations of the ring better than most others would... even dwarves fall victim I think to greed... malice and hate. Those are the things that Sauron put into the ring when it was forged...

      Yes, dwarves are hardier and more resistant (this is partly because they are in essence very different to the other races of the world being basically Aule’s creation rather than Eru’s, and not being part of the original creation) but they still succumb to extreme greed and avarice, searching for more and more treasures under the earth, rather than being enslaved or controlled directly by the rings per se. This is what indirectly destroyed them (digging too deep in Moria, accumulating too large a hoard in Erebor and attracting Smaug).

    Not only is Aragorn blessed with long life because he's a Dunedain, but Dunedain are descended from Elronds twin brother Elros who chose to be a man unlike Elrond who chose to be an elf. Basically Elrond is Aragorn's great great great etc. uncle, which means Arwen and Aragorn are cousins MANY times removed. xD

    For the whole Gandalf coming back:
    Think of the Wizards in Lord of the Rings as Angels, sent by their God(s) to help protect/aid the people of Middle-Earth against Sauron, their worlds version of The Devil.
    Sarumon (The evil-looking Wizard) was basically a High-Ranking Angel that became a Fallen Angel after finding out about The Ring and what it could do for him.
    After Gandalf died killing The Balrog (that Fire-Demon), his spirit went back to Heaven, but his God(s) had him sent back, made him a Higher-Ranked Angel, and gave him a boost in power to replace Sarumon.

    (This guy’s comment is so beautiful) Now you're beginning to understand why the trilogy really IS among the greatest films of all time. Everything in these films works together to make it worth seeing over and over again. It works together because they the only trilogy to be greenlit as a trilogy. Other trilogies have one movie greenlit first and then the others greenlit afterward.
    It was insanity that someone was convinced to approve of three movies to be filmed back to back, with 3 years of pre-production and only after 3 years did filming start.
    (Two comments I found and put them together to form a very powerful statement. It’s truly a very special film! So much work went into this. I know many will vote “yes” to react to the behind the scenes film+documentary the cast and crew created together. Which in itself is a beautiful ride to embark upon.

    And the good gods won then gapped off to the place where only the elves are allowed to go but they gave the good men a gift of longer lifespan.

    The Rohan are inspired by anglosaxon knights. But they have a very nordic like feel to them. Their musical theme is played on a Hardanger fiddle. A norwegian instrument. In general they have a very "civilized vikings on horseback" kind of feel. Gondor by contrast has a very Mediterranean italian like feel them. Like romans and greeks. Building things out of marble and generally having a very civilized and sophisticated feel.

    Fun Lore Fact: Aragorn is 87 years old, but looks younger because his lineage is descended from a half elf. Hugo Weaving’s character, Elrond is a half elf and had a brother, Elros. They were given the choice to either side with their elf half or human half. Elrond went the immortal Elves and Elros chose to live as a mortal human. He then became King of the race of men and because of their elf heritage, all his descendants live for hundreds of years.
    That also makes his love interest, Arwen, his very distant cousin.

    At 27:00, you say, "Let us know in the comments how long this process took--was this years, or did this happen in weeks?" Not sure what you mean by "process"--and the plot of the movie departs significantly in this area from Tolkien's book. Also, while much of the action in the book goes slower than the movie, this is one section where the book actually moves faster than the movie. Tolkien's version glosses over Theodred's burial, and I love the movie version, especially Eowyn singing Theodred's lament in Anglo-Saxon. But in the book, the war with Saruman's forces had already started, and Gandalf's healing of Theoden allowed the king to join his forces in the field. The war was going badly, and Theoden's household forces retreated to Helm's Deep. The people didn't go to Helm's Deep, but rather to Dunharrow (you'll see more of Dunharrow in ROTK). Tolkien gives a detailed chronology in an Appendix at the end of ROTK, and according to this, Gandalf heals Theoden on March 2 and the Battle of Helm's Deep occurs the night of March 3-4. So things were moving right along. The movie version uses a somewhat different time line that isn't completely congruent with the book--"at first light on the fifth day" would have been well after the book's battle was over.

Frodo was 33 when Gandalf left, 50 when Gandalf returned (but Frodo aging less because he had the ring). Frodo was physically in his prime during his quest (not 19ish years old, like the actor)

    I always watch the extended version. But for new viewers unfamiliar with the movies or the books maybe the theatrical cuts are better to get introduced to the movies. Extended has more backstories and lore and are great! But the extended also are slower and longer because of it. Theatrical was edited to keep pacing and everyone engaged with the movie - a great introduction. You can always watch the extended after to get even more story and goodness after you’ve been hooked into them.

      @@rickyderby Lol I agree. I watch the extended and love them. But I've watched reactors get lost and bored with the pacing of the extended. A channel was introducing his family (Father, mother and sister) to the movies and the mother and sister started doing other things (phone, kitchen e.g.) instead of watching. Another first time reactor didn't like "The Fellowship" saying it was too long and too slow and she was confused by all the lore. She never watched the rest of the series either. That reaction was so hard and disappointing to watch.
      Guess I've just become worried of people watching the extended. I really want everyone to like the trilogy. 12+ hours is a lot to ask but always fingers 🤞 everyone gets to see them. Watching at home in comfort makes it easier.

So from beggining of the trilogy to the end, about 19 years.

    I recently learned that Frodo is a name associated with the norse god Freyr. The god of peace and fertility. There was a couple of years or decades called Frodi's peace in Scandinavia where there were years of bountiful harvests and peace. And they attributed this to the god Freyr. Frodo is kind of another name for that god. So Tolkien probably named him after the god. Because its a god associated with peace, mildness and good times all around. Kind of like the Shire. He's also the king of the elves. And his cult seemed to have stuck around in Sweden for a long time as our midsummer celebrations are all about dancing around a phallus representing Freyr fertilising the earth.

    Aragorn is a descendant of the Numenoreans, and they are descended from the lineage of Beren (a man) and Luthien (elf-kind). The result was a race of men who, while not being immortal (like the elves) lived for hundreds of years (as much as 300-400). Aragorn’s line was less pure or the half-elven blood and still, he lived to be over 200 years old.

    The books don’t have Theoden fully possessed as the movie does…the king is frail and slowly succumbed to the whispering of Wormtongue, but it took years. (Like 2 or 3). The King was suffering more from a deep depression and hopelessness. Gandalf’s return as “the white” gave the King renewed hope and vigor, but he wasn’t “possessed” by Saruman as the movie depicts.

  • @JH-lo9ut
    @JH-lo9ut ปีที่แล้ว

    In the books, there is no suggestion that orcs come out of the ground. The ancestors of orcs were elves that was captured an tortured and corrupted by magic, but orcs are made and born like other mortal creatures.
    In the films they changed this. The reason is a bit convoluted, but there is a big time gap in the film's story line compared to the books.
    In the books, there is almost twenty years in between Bilbo's birthday party, and the time Gandalf returns to tell Frodo about the ring. This is how long it took Gandalf to find out that this was in fact the "One ring" During all that time, Frodo lived in Bilbo's old house as the wealthiest Hobbit in the Shire. Sam was his employee, his gardener. Since the ring was in Frodo's possession, he didn't age normally but stayed young, but he is in fact about 40 years old. Sam, Merry and Pippin are about 20, like in the films.
    In the Films, they compressed this time to a year or so, to make it work better on film. They could cut away a number of events and more importantly, the relationship between Frodo and Sam becomes more of friendship (lovers?) than the master/servant-dynamic that JRR Tolkien wrote it.
    The main problem with this, is how could Saruman have gathered a huge army of orcs in just one year instead of twenty?
    So they made this thing up where Saruman grows the Uruk-hai orcs through some kind of magic and they come to life fully grown.
