I love that one middle-management orc who kept arguing with Saruman about realistic factory output.
It's impressive how the orcs are so advanced they can build sophisticated machinery and even a big dam.
@@CP-jk3tc well....they once were elves. I guess some knowledge just stayed with them.
@@CP-jk3tc Sauruman was directing it all. He was once a Maia that served under Aule same as Sauron. Aule was the smith of the Valar and essentially the God of Technology. They learned everything they knew from him and them some from Melkor.
Me with my friends playing Factorio
@@CP-jk3tc In the Hobbit book, the orcs were described as talented (weapon)smiths and constructors. Eventhough their goods and architecture may not look nice, they do the job pretty well.
Good guy Saruman, build industry, create jobs, listen to his employees, all for the good of progress!
He was a little rude to his employees tho D: but at least he made jobs. Saruman for next PRESIDENT WOOO :D Actually on a side note, what do they feed all of those orcs? ._.
iWaBa FET
I'm pretty sure that question (which is a good one by the way) is answered in the books, even though I don't remember about it, it's been a while.
It's known about their grog, that some kind of "beer" they would make, but when it comes to feeding, i think they were really pragmatic and ate voraciously, wherever they were and whatever it may be (meat from hunt, maybe fish) and I would guess some sort of nasty soup, made from vegetables/livestock that minor villages/cities from the east would pay in tribute to Sauron, besides the pillaging.
For the Uruk from Saruman, I would say the same.
Now, for which one had the better grog,.. well, that's a debate for another day! xD
Haha thank you, it makes sense now :3
One Uruk-hai: "We ain't eaten nothing but maggoty bread for 3 STINKING days!"
Make Isengard great again XD
If you look very carefully in the background of this scene, you can not see Gondor when the Westfold fell.
Hahahahah
Or even between the lines, nor pixels.
Where was anyone
@Dreaming Away where was gondor when you replied to his comment?
I read your comment too fast and actually thought Minis Tirith was in the backround somewhere
The one thing I kinda admire about Saruman is that when he was confronted with issues by his workers, he didn't just say "get it done", he actually told them how.
Saruman though was quite stern and no doubt didn't tolerate too much excuses or failure though like any boss
@zhuangsaur227 That's what a good boss or leader should be, doesn't take excuses but will explain or instruct how to get it done if the subordinates don't understand.
Not ro mention Saruman wasn't going by rhe FIND SOLUTION WAY method without giving amy hints...
Saruman is a leftist, which is just another confirmation of the bad right-wing implications behind LotR. He supports the working class, suppressed ethnicities and races, styles himself Saruman the Many-Colored (rainbow...he mad Gandalf rejected him, so he literally fell for Sauron, now you also know what the implied relationship between him and Grima is). He pursued knowledge (which is of the Devil), while Gandalf pursued fate (=predestination, the will of the creator).
Atleast Tolkien was aware that he created a monster. The redemption lies in the meta construct of the story. The Lord of the Rings is a story about destroying it, and so you must do!
funny how an evil wizard is better than 90% of middle-managers
"We don't have enough fuel to feed the fires!"
Looks 500 meters away to the massive forest right next to them.
Ya wonder what they'd do without Saruman.
xD so true lol
David Patterson To be fair, the orcs might've been worried about pissing off the ents, until saruman gave them the go ahead.
David Patterson we don't have the moons
"Ya wonder what they'd do without Saruman."
They'd probably be still alive since they wouldn't have pissed off the ents.
David Patterson Perhaps we just saw an Orc botanist.
Saruman: "BURN IT!"
Orc Secretary: "YES!"
So gloriously evil. I love it.
"orc secretary" HAHAHAH!!
@@Jeptheplay lol
I'd say he's more like an orc foreman.
0:50 to 1:00 indifferent to the beautiful foggy nightscape;
love watching them harvest/trash the forest
1:20 to 1:35 turning out 'kids' just to be their army of destruction
culminating in "burn it"
orks definitely don't give a fuck; badass indeed
I have his figure it's called dungeons of isengaard orc Captain he's rare
Saruman was an expert in logistics and supply. The fact he managed to kit out a massive army like that in a few days is testament to his logistical and business savvy
Part of it may have been his realization that the longer he waited, the more likely Sauron would suspect he was double-crossing him. In that he was right, as Sauron fairly quickly found out through agents and circumstances that his vassal was not as subservient as he made it out to be. The fact that at the Black Gate it’s revealed that if Sauron got what he wanted, the Mouth of Sauron would be installed as an overlord instead of Saruman says a lot.
@@WorldWar2freak94 Well said. It's easy to overlook the history of Sauron and only focus on his presence in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. But he has a massive background spanning thousands of years prior, as shown in the Silmarillion. He was Morgoth's right-hand as a werewolf for a time, before he got his ass kicked by Huan (good dog!).
Then he was bound and imprisoned by the Numenoreans, but managed to sweet-talk his way into an advisory position to the king. He was directly responsible for the downfall of the strongest presence of Man in Middle-Earth during the second age.
Obviously, he would have suspected Saruman's loyalty. Even though Saruman is a Maiar, same as Gandalf, the balrogs, and Sauron himself (albeit he was a 'gifted' Maiar). Knowing his own capabilities would have given him insight to his contemporaries.
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t have to pay your workers and can harvest them out of the mud.
@@WorldWar2freak94 I love how all the evil forces in Middle Earh are just madness, all wanting to betray each other, pure chaos
The team that designed the aesthetic of the Mordor/Barad dur/ Sauron’s armor and every enemies deserve more recognitions seriously. This is one of the most badass and evil design I have ever seen
True even tho barad dur was only on screen for like a minute they still put so much detail in it
@@jeanpierre4455 they had to make Sauron’s fortress the biggest and the best the thing is like 5 times the size of Minas tirith
I like how Isengard’s aesthetic is so industrial. The ceaseless furnaces, the polluted wasteland of denuded forests, mass produced weapons and armour with no craftsmanship whatsoever. Even the Uruk-Hai themselves are the products of a factory assembly line.
@@andrewbondurant8513 I mean it's like a mile tall, it's about twice the height of the current tallest human structure, the Burj "Mia" Khalifa
@@timovangalen1589Exactly, while Mordor is a more ancient evil with a bit more craft and aesthetic to its fortresses, armor, etc that is still thoroughly loathsome.
"The old world will burn in the fires of Industry. The forests will fall."
Saruman wasn't wrong about that.
EquestriaKnight234 Well, Tolkien did use Isengard originally as a metaphor for the industrial revolution ;)
it happens today anyway
EquestriaKnight234 it's sad but treu -Mettalica-
I didn't think he wrote in metaphors since he didn't like that form of writing if you read some of his letters. Though he said that magic and machines/industries in his eyes was the same thing, ways to control the world and try to use force upon nature to create power. In Tolkiens world everything that is about power (except the powers of the Valar) is a negative force.
POWER
Saruman voice is perfect for an evil wizard
Sergio Bullitt sergoBvllt
Christopher Lee has the coolest voice ever!
So powerful!
@@carlhiller9659 Absolutely.
RIP, you bloody legend
I don't think how it can be understated just how blessed we were to have Christopher Lee involved in these films. The magical power in the delivery of his lines, the passion he and all others involved had for the project, and his personal connections to the material itself made him beyond the perfect choice for Saruman.
Christopher Lee, from what I heard, was the only one of the whole LOTR cast who had met JRR Tolkien, and had been given permission by him to play Gandalf if the books were ever made into a movie
I wish Morgan freeman was saruman..you know for diversity purposes..😆 🤣
@@94462 Christopher Lee looked a bit too 'evil' to portray Gandalf though, plus he's been typecast as a villain for decades. So in the end Ian McKellen was the right choice for Gandalf while Lee was the perfect choice for Saruman.
He knew Tolkien
@@madgavin7568 I'd struggle to recall one instance of less than perfect casting in these movies, to be honest. Those were some of the best picks in the history of cinema.
1:14: "We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fists of the Orc."
Ooh... chills every time.
Yes
1:25 Orc: I don't wanna fight! I wanna sleep!
RIP Christopher Lee. There will never be another Saruman.
+MiyuChan Nor another Darth Tyranus
yes!!!!!!!
Saruman and Dooku are both my favourite film characters. :)
MiyuChan You my friend are right.
Closest we got is Ian McKellen and even then it ain't enough
I keep forgetting this is just a clip, was getting into it.
I feel you, brother. Good thing we have blu-rays.
Damn thought it was the movie... Fuck.
This clip is so hype; the combination of the music and Christopher Lee's voice do it I think
@@sturmraist50 Not everybody does.
Imagine a whole movie in this setting.
Unlike most Sauron or his generals, Saruman seems to take great pride in the orcs and even treats them better than most of their masters. The Uruks being his most prized creations behaved like an actual professional army rather a horde. I also seemed to notice that despite being a Wizard, Saruman also possessed a sense of warrior pride, judging from how the Uruks bear the white hand, which is very tribalistic in nature and even seemed to despise civility itself. His recruitment from the wild men from Dunland also seems to showcase this.
Indeed. He's a man of the people, not afraid to get down and dirty with issues on the ground.
The huge part of the success of these films was the music. It's astounding how suitable it is for Tolkien's world.
shore´s soundtrack is phenomenal, but is there any aspect of these movies that isn´t perfect? 20 years later and i´m still amazed
Every detail compliments another. Nothing stands alone, that’s what made these films so good.
Christopher Lee, from what I heard, was the only one of the whole LOTR cast who had met JRR Tolkien, and had been given permission by him to play Gandalf if the books were ever made into a movie
*****
Yeah. Look it up. It's true. Lee originally auditioned for Gandalf in FOTR, but was too old, so the role went to McKellen.
*****
Yeah, I guess you're right. Lee played plenty of villains in his acting career.
+Aidan Crane
Ian McKellan is his name. He portrayed Gandalf.
+Aidan Crane
It's fine.
Yeah. Played Fo3, new vegas, and Fo4.
Tolkien's opinions on industry are made particularly apparent in this segment, both in the book and in the film adaption.
LordBloodpool yea he did mention he missed the green and quiet farms in Birmingham or Edinburgh i think ? before it industrialized.
@@zhengyangwang214 Birmingham he lived by Birmingham, then moved near Oxford.
And to a great extent he's right. Industry is inconsiderate of the sources of it's fuels and materials, it exhausts all resources with no care for life. When Industry begins to supplant nature, that is when it must be stopped.
The setting we refer to as medieval fantasy with swords and knights on horses and castles and a genetically diverse bestiary, is the result of a world before using fire to do mechanical work and before artificial electrical current flow...quite literally, those machines are phrygian killing a fairytale. Now the Legend Of Zelda now has steam boats and trains and is just not fun anymore....
It's subtle in the book during this section.
It's absolutely, hilariously overt during the Scouring of the Shire.
The charm of the evil characters in LOTR is incomparable.
So fucking badass sequence.
Saruman is one of my favorite characters, the genius, arrogance and evilness are too good
Yes
Nothing compared with the Dark Lord of Moscow -- Vlad the Bad.
saruman is simply the most convincing and best villain ever created
It a blessing in disguise that Sir Christopher Lee was assigned as Saruman, he's perfect for the evil wizard role.. despite him really wanting to play as Gandalf with Tolkien's permission that he would play as Gandalf should the books be made into a movie
Unpopular opinion: The actress of that mother (3:07) is really good. She had a small role, but she nailed it!
It might be a performance that gets overlooked, but I don't think many people would actively disagree with you there
Yeah, always makes me tear up since I thought she died.
The first time I saw the movie I was confused , I thought she was a main character. The actress is phenomenal.
@@ybyby3rdday worry not buddy, she reunited with her children !
irl she's a crazy SJW though. She said Gandalf should be an old Maori woman.
I wish the movie went more into the fact that Saruman actually wanted the ring for himself and had no plans of following Sauron.
Sauron: "Of course we shall rule Middle Earth together. Of course."
* forges The One Dagger to Backstab Them All *
I feel like it was implied pretty heavily throughout the series. Like Saruman describes the ring as an object of great importance to him. And really, Saruman just created a vastly superior fighting force to Sauron's orcs. Smaller yes, but better equipped, better trained, better disciplined, and just superior on a purely biological level. I can't see him sitting there with his army of Uruks becoming Sauron's crony.
He did had that toughts.
In the book Saurmans forces are laughable compared to Mordos might. So if you have that knowledge before you watch the movies it's not that obvious. Sauron is aware of Saurmans own goals before Frodo leaves the Shire, but he just keeps Saurman doing his dirty work in Rohan because Saruman is never a threat to him. You can read about it in Unfinished Tales. Though I think Sauron gets a bit nervous after Pippin looks in the palantir, since he sends a Nazgul to Isengard to see if Pippin is the hobbit that has the ring. (Sauron thought Saruman was using the palantir as a form of torment for the hobbit, forcing him to look in to it.)
The strenght is in numbers. So what that Hitler (Saruman) had such amazing tanks and highly trained ss-storm troopers (Uruk-hai), that Stalin (Sauron) had just so many tanks and troops (trolls and orcs) that he could just eat them by sheer numbers.
One day Saruman will make a book "How to grow your own Uruk-Hai"
best uruk hai recipe
More like a vlog. I can see saruman with an apron on talking to his viewers hahahaha
@Alex The Awesome Rule no. 2
Run away from the forest that you just pissed off.
It's like growing a Chia pet
saruman in 2020: DIY uruk- hai in 20 days
"We have only to remove those who oppose us."
That is one of the most chilling lines ever.
I hate to say this, but 20 years later Putin foolishly thinks likewise. A year later Putin still has not conquered the land he desired. The only thing he has managed achieve is great many innocent people killed.
That’s the line I came for! Lol such a good actor
no? its pretty basic and unindpired
@@landlockedcroat1554 Indpired.
Lee's delivery is fantastic.
You can't deny that under Saruman's rule there were fantastic increases to GDP.
Militarized mystical dictatorship trumps free-market economies every time...
I always sympathised with the hillmen.
And that one hillman screaming "MURDERERS" really illustrate how deeply wronged they felt.
Just one word, but so much emotion in it.
They're the one whose wrong. The king banished them for reason. They are savages!
@@martmandred9182 they were hunted and persecuted by the men of Gondor and Eorls folk for generations. Hundreds of years.
Yes, they were wild. But they did not start it. Gondor drove them out of the white mountains, then granted Calenardhon to the Rohirrim, who drove them out of there too.
The wild men weren't simply savages. They were persecuted, hunted and hated.
Rohan and Gondor did them wrong.
Luckily, after the war, Rohan and it's people understood that. They didn't hunt them down or try to exterminate them, and in the fourth age, the hillmen made peace with rohan and gondor both.
@@martmandred9182 They actually were the original inhabitants of the land that later became Rohan.
It's an interesting idea, that the likes of Saruman and Sauron -- purely malevolent forces -- stir up support from those who have been genuinely wronged and may even be rightfully bitter at the established order of men. But in spite of their justifiable grievances, they have fallen in with hideous company that thrives off of their worst impulses.
@@briang.2218that’s the basis for most of the armies of the Dark Lord. They were either wronged in the past or were influenced by Sauron by their own greed. The Dunlendings home were taken by the Rohirrim, the Haradrim have had conflict with Gondor since the days of Númenór because of oppression and wrongful treatment which is why they sided with Sauron.
Saruman: "Take back the lands they stole from you. Burn every village!"
Random Dunlander #1: "Wait, couldn't we just kill them all and live in the comfortable houses they built?"
Random Dunlander #2: "Oh boy, you obviously haven't seen the design choices they've made"
@Garage Masters Everything that is longer than it is wide is shaped like a horse's head too
Have you seen the drapes!!
The villages had no drip
And there's no hooters lol
They could of just taken the villages to live in duh lol
“…the union of the Two Towers”
I bet Sauron laughed at that. No way was he sharing power with Saruman. Once powerful enough, he would’ve laid waste to Isengard.
Saruman was actively betraying Sauron. And Sauron knew.. And Saruman knew that Sauron knows.. must have made Palantir calls kinda akward
Actually isengard was to be given to the mouth of sauron
Both of them were scheming against each other, but the war effort required cooperation between the two of them if they were going to win
Once the war had been won Saruman was going to resume his search for The One Ring and Saruon knew. They both knew once their common enemy was dealt with there was only ever going to One Lord of the Ring

That's cause Darth Vader is a true dark lord.

To be fair, the Imperials were much more competent than these Orcs.

An upstanding industrialist! The pinnacle of his community.
A mother giving up her only horse for her 2 children so they can warn many others... brings tears to my eyes.
Nluvwitmuzik Why didn't she run away with the villagers? I know, for dramatic effect...
Joey Diamond She did, you see her reunited with her children at helm's deep.
Yeah I think it's right here where you see the real effect of Sauroman and Sauron. Before this we mostly saw the homes of hobbits and elves living relatively peacefully now we're shown human beings and the horror they're going through
The little girl is played by Olivia Tennet aka Dr. K from Power Rangers RPM
@@keegan112099 Capitlism is like a ventilating duct, it either sucks or blows...
That moment where the little girl says the horse is too big for her brother to ride is so heartbreaking. She doesn't understand that everything she knew has already fallen apart
Then comes the moment when she starts to figure it out 😢
That scene of Sauron’s eye and mount doom in the distance was great. They really nailed well the middle earth scenery
when i was little and we watched this on vhs when they were talking about two towers, i thought the other thing in the distance was orthanc.
I hated how they turned the Eye into a freaking searchlight in Return. Mordor imagery was used very sparingly in the original two movies and whenever it appeared, it looked absolutely badass.
Lazog: "We don't have enough fuel to feed the fires!"
Saruman: ".....Look out there. See all that green on our doorstep? What is all that?"
Lazog: "The forest!"
Saruman: "And what do you think we should do with that forest?"
Lazog: "Well....... I reckon we ought to burn it."
Saruman: "Thaaat's right. BURN. IT."

1:30 this inspector is dedicated to quality assurance! Great acting
"nah, send this one back. Its skull is misshapen"
Here I see how much Saruman overestimating himself. "Together we will rule Middle earth" he said. He thinks that he and Sauron are equals. He even thinks that he can stab him in the back by getting the One Ring for himself. First we see Isengard. It seems quite big. But its image fades when we see Barad Dur and Eye of Sauron.
you gotta admit saruman nearly increased is forces 10 x in a matter of months
Well...Originally they were equals. They were both maiar if I’m not mistaken. The Istari and the Valarauka are same tier spirits as Sauron.
I think it was said that any of the istari were inferior to Sauron, even in Valinor, and that they also were weakened when they went to Middle Earth in mortal bodies.
@@TheUrratha you're right, the only difference might be their Valar teachers, but I'm not sure
Saruman wanted to take the ring for himself. That was his goal and that way he could become maybe even more powerful than Sauron.
Fun fact. In the books the two towers are: Isengard, the tower where Saruman resides and operates; and unlike you think, the other tower isn't Sauron's tower (y'know, The Dark Tower, the one with the big flamming eye at the top), but rather a tower where the Nazgûl resides, The Tower of the Rising Moon in Minas Morgul.
1:51 "It was at this moment that Saruman didn't yet know....he fucked up"
"Take back the lands they stole from you...BURN EVERY VILLAGE!" lives rent free in my head, it's one of my favourite quotes from this series!
Strange
Very dangerous words to go by in the real world though...
@@Alejojojo6 We have only to remove those who oppose us.

1:58 The way he says "Yes!" is just fucking perfect. 1000 more takes and it could not have been more right.
The interaction between the mother and her 2 children is a fantastic little scene that captures the sadness of war and makes it feel more real. Harkening to what evacuees when through in the UK during ww2. Its one thing I think the LOTR movies did so well, particularly in the two towers.
Rewatching now makes me think of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian orcs.

edit: (Thanks everyone for liking my dumb joke 😁)
Saruman: Shoots fireball from his staff at the orc.
Count Ravid Orcs: looks like meats back in the menu boys
To be fair, if he did burn down the entire forest they wouldn't have any Ents to worry about.
hahahaha
I can imagine that actually happened, though with Saruman stopping them from literally burning it down without turning it into fuel; Something like this.
Orc: *Get the torches ready men; Lord Saruman said to burn the-*
Saruman: _That is NOT what I meant you fool; "burn it" as in turn it into fuel for the fires, NOT just getting rid of it!._
Orc: *Oh, my bad; Nevermind what I said earlier men, get the axes instead, we're going to chop down this forest until I say we're done!*
Saruman: _That's better, do not misinterpret my commands again, or else you're food for our wolves. (What would they do without me?)_
Orc: *Yes my lord, I understand;. . WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING AROUND, GET THE AXES AND START CHOPPING DOWN THE TREES!!!!*

Goblin: yes?
Saruman: I don't want to.
Goblin: yes......

enjoy!
It's so disturbing, disgusting, and visceral.
It's such an effective way of denying the Orcs any sympathy. By showing them born from vile pits that seem almost like grotesque parodies of wombs, they make it seem as if the industrializing Saruman is manufacturing them just as surely as he is his dam and his weapons. Since the Orcs were corrupted Elves, (and some have Men in their bloodlines as well, I believe) the canon explanation for Orc reproduction has them reproduce naturally through sex, but I rather prefer this depiction because it's so appropriately inorganic and perverse a birth for these evil creatures.
When your making a militaristic industrial empire in Civ 4
Happy Mask Salesman except for the part where you get denounced by everyone immediately after this clip

Lol 🤣, If saruman wasn't all psycho and was leveled headed and didn't joined sauron he and focus building a city with humans in it and leading it he could build a industrial metropolis , mass produce iron tools etc and iron beams to build skyscrapers in the ring wall that protects them for people to live in like city apartments, with pubs, schools, park etc, dam the river to control the water flow and build a pipeline to the city to have water and put toilets and baths on each floor of skyscraper use stone for walls of skyscrapers and wood for floors and put windows too etc, and build a pipeline outside area to irrigate farmland to feed population and animals too for meat, skin and hairs etc and get logging going for wood products, burn in ironworks and light up the city at night to have a modern feel , and build a railroad around the city in and out of it pulled by horses with wagon size railcars to use moving goods and people around the place , and saruman and the people of isengard would be living in the modern world lol
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the actor who spent hours having adhesive, rubber, foam, and paint applied to his body, spent even more hours in said rubber and foam, and was prepared to press his open mouth against a flimsy, slimy piece of rubber just to get this shot 1:25 ?

The Christopher Lee narration over the the village being pillaged and then throwing in the emotional investment with the two kids. It's these scenes that are examples of why this trilogy is such a good adaption of the books.
Amen to that
I’m getting goosebumps, just hearing my name mentioned by Saruman!!

That's such a realistic scene that makes it so terrifying.
The way Saruman says "Mordor" is so ear-satisfying.

3:08 this girl made the most of her very small screentime. She's really good.
She thought it was real. Jks but that's def a natural response.
I hope she continued acting now that she's grown up, she makes me cry every time I rewatch this masterpiece!

Caronis *Sir Christopher Lee
Respect the legend, please.
i swear there was not a better person for Sarumans role than Christopher Lee
Agreed, but if he's ever cast in the Amazon series they should give Frank Langella the role. Not the same guy but he's got the transcendent, sinister badass persona locked in.
@@Fan_Made_Videos He also played Dracula as did Christopher Lee.
I know he wanted to play Gandalf, but hot damn is Christopher Lee so spot on as Saruman
Agreed
the Dunledings have a legitimate beef with Rohan, being forced from their lands and left to starve.
Spellbinder Evil often uses the oppressed and downtrodden as its pawns. Had Isengard won the battle of Helmsdeep, Saruman would have had all the wildmen killed.
@Отоја Јамагучи No he does have a point. The darker ones in the movie seem evil, and the lighter ones good.

Possibly one of the most iconic evil wizards (aside from Voldemort, Morgoth, and Sauron himself) in all of film and literature. Though Sauron and Morgoth are technically more powerful sorcerers in Tolkien's Legendarium Saruman (with his black staff and glowing Palantir) summated the popular image of the Evil Sorcerer in early High Fantasy.
Voldemort is really overrated and poorly portrayed in the films apart from the first two HP films
Did you just call Morgoth an evil Wizzard? Lmfao
@@konighartzderiv.4898 No, I’m just using that title as a broad generalization.
@@benhuether5474 lmao
@@benhuether5474 Don't forget Emperor Palpatine.
If you think about it Saruman is a genius. Built an industry from nothing, came up with more accurate crossbows, built an army of orc mutants on steroids, gave them broader shields that were actually useful in battle, he designed a f*cking bomb.
but then he left Isengard unguarded and seemingly never questioned why his orc scouts never returned with the halfligs and the One Ring
True.
But I think it would've been kind of interesting if Saruman only used the orcs and all to make an army of Uruk-hai and then fight against Mordor. Because an army of 10-12,000 is nothing to sniff at.
But that's just a fan theory. But it is kind of awesome that he was able to do all that in so short of time.
2:33 "Buy them lemonades" hahaha
Burn them their lands
@@SrpskiGazda1997 burn every village!
I hear that everytime😂😂😂
Lol 🤣
It gives me goosebumps, that in one movie youve got this scene where this girl is crying because she might never see her Mum again, and than you have a totally badass scene, like the opening of the movie with epic mountains and with Gandalf fighting the Balrog.
They are the ones who make it to edoras because I feel the father is a rider (off with Eomer) and that is one of his best horses. The two children are light and the horse magnificent (too large for the boy to safely ride usually) so it makes the journey while the rest are overrun.
What an actor, what a voice, what a narration. C.Lee is an acting legend
I found this scene very sad.
Not just because the Rohan villages were being burnt but also because the Dunlandings, who have legitimate grievances due to the way they have been treated, were being manipulated into performing the burning.
1:57 YESZZZ shit gets me everytime..
if there were an actor for the mad king in game of thrones, it would be christopher lee.
+Jake Tryon would have been...
To bad that my hero died;(
Christopher Lee is cinema's top 10 greatest villain actors...
How about Tywin Lannister?
There already is an actor for the mad king
Thanks to the orks at Amazon, we will most likely never have such a pure and perfect representation of lotr ever again...
What! No! The Orks of the Rings of Power look horrible!
His voice is just on another level of humanity!

If u press that number at the right time after murderers and keep repeating u will hear the living of rocks" Murderers" The living of Rocks" Murderers lol u get the point

1:30 always liked that neat little bit of direction; one orc has to judge the others that are freshly spawned, make sure they're big and strong enough
0:07
The most intimidating scene in all the movies. Pure chills.
fuck what anyone says. These are among the greatest films of our time
Montage Matador "fuck what anyone says" Almost everyone says they are among the best movies of all time, so your comment is stupid.
That's not entirely true. Many people belittle the trilogy for no reason whatsoever.
These movies are constantly ranked among the best of all time. I dunno why you said 'fuck what anyone says'
it's an expression...it wasn't meant to be taken as literally as you took it
Montage Matador That's an expression now? Yeah right, lol. No it isn't.

This clip shows some of the most horrific atrocities in war: the attacking of uninvolved peasants and murder
Invading a country and killing the natives because they are less technologically advanced than you are...pretty much the Northern Europeans had a complete monopoly on that service industry and it stayed on the tops of the record charts for a long time...and they are wondering why the races they picked on are acting brutal and savage...guess where they picked up that behavior from? Native Americans weren't the first to scalp their enemies...it's a learned behavior...
@@brentfisher902 Oh so only Northern Europeans did that? You are kind anti-white. The entirety of history blames EVERY SINGLE RACE for this kind of behaviour. Indoctrinated piece of garbage.
@@brentfisher902 Wow you are stupid lol. The tribes that practiced scalping did not learn it from Europeans. Scalping was and still is seen as incredibly barbaric by the vast, vast majority of Europeans - Washington himself witnessed scalping when cooperating with some Natives while he was a young up and coming officer for the British Empire, and had nothing nice to say about it.
Why do you assume that Natives are so damn stupid that they can only learn things from Europeans and can't have any semblance of their own culture?
@@brentfisher902 yes ! The Europeans took your land and drove your people into the hills, to scratch a living off rocks!

Christopher Lee WAS the voice of Saruman.
I love this guy, he really enjoyed the role too. An old man with a young heart.
Saruman was so evil. My favorite character. Christoper Lee did such an AMAZING job playing him.
sir christopher lee *
Christopher Lee was a big reason why they gave Saruman a bigger role in the movies. They also wanted him to be a stand-in for Sauron.
@@Interestingenough4 Sauron is never shown on screen nor in the book, unless you count a massive demonic shadow or black hand. Sauron is evil itself, a great demonic force. Saruman gives flesh to the machinations of Sauron's power and evil.
Great Britain during the industrial revolution: "The old world will burn in the fires of industry! the forests will fall!
Saruman’s voice would make even Darth Vader pee in his black suit!
1:20 see now here is something, graphic wise, what I wanted to see in The Hobbit. If they would create this scene with today's technology it would've been 14 greenscreens, and cgi characters.
This is actually what makes movies timeless. The special effects will all age and look dated and unappealing but the stuff shot with miniatures or real people will still have value.
The orcs also were better than in the Hobbit.
@@wilhelmrk it's because the Maori stuntmen were naturally built like Uruk hai.
I would have liked to have seen more of the wild men in LOTR the two towers. they seem to have had some bitter history with the horsemen of Rohan.
They did, the Rohirrim came from a nomadic tribe which migrated to what is now Rohan after making a deal with gondor or something I beleive.
bevan rogan white From Thain's Book:
"Brego's second son Aldor became King. He was known as Aldor the Old, and he had the longest reign of any King of Rohan - 75 years from 2570 to 2645. Aldor drove out the last of the Dunlendings, who came to hate the Rohirrim. During Aldor's reign, the population of Rohan increased and the Rohirrim settled in the valleys of the White Mountains including Harrowdale. Aldor's son Frea was old when he became King and he ruled only 14 years until 2659. Frea was followed by his son Freawine, who in turn was succeeded by his son Goldwine. Rohan was peaceful and prosperous during this time. Deor, son of Goldwine, became king in 2699. During his reign, the Dunlendings began to raid the Westfold to steal horses. Many came across the River Isen, but it soon became apparent some Dunlendings had made settlements in the northern part of the Westfold near Fangorn and Isengard. In 2710, Deor led a force to the northern Westfold and defeated an army of Dunlendings. Deor proceeded to Isengard and found that it was occupied by Dunlendings. The stronghold belonged to Gondor, but over time the Gondorian chieftains who guarded it had died out and had been succeeded by chieftains of mixed blood who were friendly to the Dunlendings. The few remaining guards had been killed, and the Dunlendings occupied the Ring of Isengard. Deor sent to Gondor for aid, but no help could be spared. The Rohirrim did not have the resources to retake Isengard, so Deor set up a guard of Riders to keep watch in the northern Westfold. Deor was succeeded by his son Gram in 2718.Helm, son of Gram, became King of Rohan in 2741. Rohan was invaded by the Dunlendings during his reign. A Man of Rohan named Freca, who had Dunlendish blood, began to expand his own domain on the border between Rohan and Dunland in defiance of the King's rule. At a council meeting in 2754, Freca sought a marriage between his son Wulf and King Helm's daughter. Helm refused, and when Freca became enraged and insulted the King, Helm slew him with one blow from his mighty fist. Thus he became known as Helm Hammerhand.Freca's son Wulf led the Dunlendings to invade Rohan four years later in 2758. The Dunlendings were aided by the Corsairs, who had launched a massive assault against Gondor at the same time. Rohan was also invaded by enemies from the East.The Dunlendings overran Rohan and captured Edoras. Helm's son Haleth died defending the doors of Meduseld, and Wulf sat on the throne in the Golden Hall. Helm was driven back from the Crossings of the Isen to the stronghold in the Deeping-coomb that became known as Helm's Deep. Many other Rohirrim took refuge there and in other valleys of the White Mountains, including Harrowdale where Helm's nephew Frealaf defended the stronghold of Dunharrow.The Long Winter began in November of 2758 and lasted five months until March of 2759. The Rohirrim were starving and desperate, besieged in their strongholds. Helm's son Hama died on a sortie from Helm's Deep, and Helm himself froze to death on Helm's Dike.When spring came, Frealaf led a force from Dunharrow and reclaimed Edoras. Frealaf slew Wulf and the Rohirrim drove the Dunlendings out of Rohan. The melting snow caused flooding around the Mouths of the Entwash, and the invaders from the East withdrew. Gondor was at last able to send aid to Rohan. That same year Beren, the Steward of Gondor, gave the stronghold of Isengard to Saruman, believing that the Wizard's presence would help protect Rohan against invasion in the future.Frealaf, son of Helm's sister Hild, was the first of the Second Line of Kings of Rohan. Saruman attended his coronation and brought many gifts. Rohan began to slowly recover from the effects of the war and the Long Winter."
After battle on fields of Celebrant river, Eorl the Young made a pact with Cirion, the Steward of Gondor that the province Calenardhon will be his and his folk, and it become Rohan.
@@markusnashorn1145 it seems your brain can't handle complexity
Markus Nashorn The Dunlendings are in the wrong for serving Saruman, but they have legitimate grievances with the Rohirrim.
0:45-0:55 the transition between Mordors theme and Isengard theme is super epic. Howard Shore is an absolute masterclass
Saruman's monologue at the beginning shows how he's being led astray by his own megalomania and delusionally thinking he and Sauron are equals who will rule together. He ignored Gandalf's warning in Fellowship of the Ring that Sauron doesn't share power.
"The horsemen took your land! They drove your people into the hills to scratch a living off rocks!" -- "They took our jobs!"
"MURDERERS!!!!"
Thank you I could never under understand what he was saying in that last part
MURDERERS!!!!! RRRAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Everyone is talking about the Saruman scene, while I'm looking at the brilliant acting of the Rohan girl and mother, just.. wow!
