In case anyone forgot what real masculinity looked like, the character of Aragorn (immortalized by Viggo Mortensen) is the absolute best portrayal ever done on screen. The mix of courage with sensitivity, fearlessness with humility will forever set the standard in cinema.
Aragorn was a hyper masculine man in a good way, but let’s not forget the quiet complexity of Sam. Sam is the greatest hero of the story, and he gets the happy ending that he deserves.
13 months. No wonder Frodo left. No way he was going to recuperate here on earth from the trauma and stress he had suffered. I think his stress was so much deeper than what the other 3 dealt with because of the draining effect of the ring constantly pulling at his life energy. Good thing he was offered that option.
powerful as it was, it doesn't ring true to the book. Though they were celebrated very highly, if I remember, it was only Samwise and Frodo who caught the peak of the adulations
@@santos.l.halper1999 Perhaps, but Tolkien had different goals from Jackson. I still recall sitting in a small theater with perhaps a few dozen in the audience (this was a noon showing and the hardcore people had come 12 hours earlier for the midnight premiere) and turning to my date in the first 5 minutes of the movie and saying, "They've nailed it!" I can't think of another film that comes even close to capturing what might have been in the author's mind than this trilogy.
@@santos.l.halper1999 I think Tolkien would understand most of the differences made by trying to adapt three long novels into nine hours of film, though a few of the changes conflict with the message of the story enough that he'd probably not be the most enthused about these movies. One big example would be the scouring of the Shire that was omitted from the films. Jackson wanted to show that the world the Hobbits left moved on without them and to emphasize that Frodo was no longer a part of the Shire, so he went with this direction while Tolkien wanted to show that no one is immune to the influence of evil and that even good-natured people were capable of falling down. Ultimately Jackson's version is sweeter but misses the point Tolkien was trying to make.
And the hobbits part 1 2 and 3 and the Lord of the rings were very good sad but the movies makes you know that you always have someone watching your back 😊
We will not 😢 but I’m glad I got to witness this as a child and throughout my life. I will never forget these movies and how they helped me in my life.
I think my greatest pleasure, was being able to watch the 2 and 3 in the cinema with my father, was too young to watch the 1 so we watched it on DVD together
So so glad I got to experience this masterpiece of a trilogy in the theaters. The passion and attention to detail put into these gems was just unreal. Sadly never to be repeated..
Those days, they were special. In my country there was a premieres of movies, one day before regular scheduling started. And mostly fans came to the premieres. For LoTR premiere, almost all LoTR fandom of Latvia showed up. Cinema was full of people dressed in chainmails, like elves, dwarves etc. It was a pleasure to watch movie with the auditoryu which actually came to see the movie, expected it and cared for it. "i was there 3000 years ago...".
I would love to see it. The scenes like when Rohirrim and Mumakils clash. That must've been epic. I have trilogy on DVDs and can watch at any time, but theaters are a whole new experience.
Aragorn singing that elven melody, after being crowned, will always stick with me, on the conclusion of this story. And what an amazing story and ending.
I wish we could have seen "The Scouring of the Shire," too. Might've required another movie, though. Although it's a great story and wonderful to see Merry and Pippin not taking crap from anyone, really coming into their own, it's probably not long enough for a movie. Who knows, though, they turned "The Hobbit" into three movies, but we know how that turned out.
Amazing scene, Elrond giving his daughter away with a mixture of joy and sadness is so pure. You can even see him whisper to her "go to him" whole scene is incredible
@@kkdarling Elrond will sail to the Undying Lands with Gandalf and Frodo, but Arwen, who has chosen to be mortal, will go to the afterlife of mankind. He's giving away his daughter, knowing that she made the same choice as his brother Elros, the first king of Numenor - knowing they will never meet again, even in the afterlife. A forever's goodbye.
6:59. Samwise Gamgee had shown great courage. But that night in the tavern, when he saw Molly serving the customers, he needed more courage than ever for his next, most important mission. To make her his wife. Mission accomplished ❤
“My friends, you bow to no one.” …Great line; Rendering honor where it’s due. …I imagine the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit will be done again decades from now. It will no doubt be done differently, but it will not be done better. ❤️
And then Gandalf and Elrond are in the universal bow thing. They had the whole "divinely blessed kingship" thing (since Gandalf is divine), and now two of the most powerful characters in the world are bowing down to you....
Yeah he was too shy to do it before. But after facing down Sauron and his army of orcs, along with everything else they went through, he finally had the courage to talk to Rosie. Many men would agree there's an equivalent amount of courage needed at times :)
No matter how many times I watch this dang perfect scene, knowing full well the, "You bow to no one" is going to show any second, I STILL TEAR UP. IT NEVER FAILS LOL. God, this trilogy was and still is everything. It means so much to me. I watch it every year around Christmas. I'll show it to my kids in the future and I hope they'll show it to theirs and so on. Don't ever let this amazing epic trilogy die.
What is captured so well by these scenes is that although those on the battlefield know what you have done, when you return to normal life, people do not understand what you have done, let alone for them. Soldiers may not want to be thanked, for it will revive that which they do not wish to re-live, but to be ignored may be so much worse.
I first read these life changing books in the early 70’s. When the first of Peter Jackson’s LOTR movies was released I was understandably skeptical of his interpretation of the books. I got emotional from how wonderful Tolkien’s written words were so perfectly translated to the big screen, at least to how I visualized the book as I read the story. This is certainly a credit to the superlative storytelling of J.R.R. Tolkien! Since my birthday is on Christmas these movies being released in December made that time of year even more special then usual.
Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien Sinome Maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-Metta "Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world."
My high school English teacher was passionate about the Hobbit/LOTR and had us read the books (this was the 70s). I asked for and received the box set of the books for Christmas. When the 1st movie came out I was blown away on what a fantastic job Peter Jackson did. My first thought was that I hoped my teacher was still around and able to experience the joy of seeing Tolkien's trilogy on the big screen.
I was pretty poor growing up in Florida, but I spent all of my free time in the library. A librarian gave me a box set of LOTR (including The Hobbit) because they were going to throw it away. I was in middle school, and did not realize the treasure that I had been given for two years. Then, I devoured those books over and over again. 32 years later, I am looking forward to introducing them to my boys. The books are a little the worse for wear, and the box is held together with duct tape, but oh, the joy that this little boy had in reading them.
I was first introduced to the Hobbits in junior school, (UK) and from there went onto The Lord of the Rings. I read the books many times before the films came out and although I was eager to see the films, I waited until they came out on video. I didn’t want to be disappointed if the films didn’t reach my expectations. I’ve read another book prior to the film and was most disappointed in the film version, the actors and acting didn’t match the standard of the book. BTW, did anyone see a previous film on The Lord of the Rings, before Peter Jackson’s version? It was an animated version but this was back in the 70’s and didn’t tell the full story?
Frodo has it worst but all four of them are now very different from the hobbits around them. They are the metaphorical soldiers who returned home, they have experienced things that there friends and family back home just can’t understand and that marks them as different.
@@hatsunemikufanboy of course book and film are different but even in the books those four would be different from the others around them, at least in my opinion. In the scouring of the shire the hobbits are still passive participants in the war because they are all pretty much only victims. Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin are active participants in the events that happened who did things that cost them greatly, it would be like comparing people who survived the WW2 air raids in London to people who survived the Somme. Both were terrible but different in scale, again this just my thought process on it. If you have a differing view I would very much like to hear it especially seeing as my book knowledge is shaky at best 😅
No matter and I mean no matter, how many times I see this scene I just hits me like a punch right through the feels. This is legendary lore, coupled with passion and respect. My hats off to both you Mr. Jackson and to you Sir Tolkien.
That’s why they never returned to how it was before. Frodo left, Mary and Pippen continued to travel the world, and Sam transformed the shire into a better place as the mayor
That's the point of the scene of them just sitting around the table looking awkward. No one there can possibly understand what they went through, and there's no way they can just be carefree and happy anymore
@@NatePuderbaugh That simple scene brilliantly captures the essence of military servicemen and servicewomen who have seen combat. We share a bond with each other that transcends blood relations as we are made closer by our shared ordeal that is difficult for others to understand or relate with who have not endured similar hardship. And to us, life and the world loses a bit of its brightness - dimmed by the sorrow of loss and the horror of war. This scene resonated deeply with me.
@@scottgrant1998 I loved the scene in The Hurt Locker too, he had been away for years putting his life on the line going through all sorts of hell, then he was shipped stateside standing in an aisle at the supermarket looking at 200 types of chips as if that was important, Thank you for your service
not just the city but the knights, the leaders of all remaining human cities, the highest of elves.. The point of the 4th age and The Lord of The Rings is that those four hobbits will be the saviors of all kind (expect orc) written in lore throughout the ages.
The emotions it gives in every scene show you just how impactfully great this story was portrayed. Tolken would have loved the treatment his story was given.
I think every good trilogy has something like this. The Dark Knight from Nolan, LotR, How to train your dragon, and to an extent the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy, maybe even Guardians depending on your perspective. All of them were incredibly well executed trilogies with cohesive arcs and endings for every character.
What I think best about this scene is how the people don't all bow at once, but go down in waves. That's how it would go, as the folks in the back see what those in front of them are doing.
I would imagine that this well done trilogy, which based on such an epic story, will be viewed as a masterpiece of cinema for hundreds of years to come. It need to be protected.
its been years! 2003 if i am remembering correctly and this scene always makes me cry when he says you bow to no one. that's how good these movies were where amazon fucked it up
As a 50+ when the trilogy launched, I had read the trilogy numerous times and was an avid fanboy since day one! I had anxiety that I might die before I had watched them all, and again when the Hobbit was launched! I literally told my daughters if I died after I had watched them all I would be happy!
I originally saw the trilogy on.big screens in.theaters. That was an unforgettable experience. I have the DVDs so I can relive the experience anytime I wish !!!
The Hobbits returning to The Shire is like going home after a great vacation, knowing that all that exists from before will be forever cherished from memory.
Never again. Let that sink in. Never again will we get a trilogy THIS amazing. this is cinema at its finest all of them. The fact you feel like you went on this journey with Frodo and Sam that stretched the span of HOURS is just amazing. When they come back to the shire you also feel like its been a long time and you feel "different" as well. like Frodo you are no longer the same. there and back again we always return to the king to watch these amazing stories again. My first exposure to LOTR was in high school. Our teacher was in his mid 20s and was a big geek like me. (knew I loved WoW, Elder scrolls etc) and near the end of the school year he played the entire trilogy (as far as the day would let us) and that was my first time. where everyone else was walking around talking my butt was glued to that seat. Always heard about Lotr at the time. finally got to watch it. special. Amazing Adventure and story.
Sam has faced hordes of orcs, dark magic, monsters, and is one of the great heroes of the Realm, and after all that he now has the courage to speak with his unrequired love. Heroism at its best.

@JC130676 well said... perfectly put.
“My friends, you bow to no one.”
That’s a pretty strong and emotional message.
That was the lesson Tolkien learned in The Great War, that the lowest soldiers in the trenches were the true heroes, who all should bow before.
I am Tolkien’s spirit and I approve this message !

This scene makes me shed a tear every single time.
All these years later, tears still come to the eyes when that
“My friends, you bow to NO man” -The King of Man said as he bowed to the hobbitses
You must be someone truly special if a king bows to you.
its been years! 2003 if i am remembering correctly and this scene always makes me cry when he says you bow to no one. that's how good these movies were where amazon fucked it up
3:56 My friends you bow to no one just speechless....
The Return of the Hobbits. A story there, in itself. For those who return as heroes, and must begin a life as ordinary people again.
There is no doubt these two scenes are among the best ever conceived or filmed.
As a 50+ when the trilogy launched, I had read the trilogy numerous times and was an avid fanboy since day one! I had anxiety that I might die before I had watched them all, and again when the Hobbit was launched! I literally told my daughters if I died after I had watched them all I would be happy!
Possibly my favourite scenes in any film I have ever seen.
I will definitely watch the trilogy during festive holidays
True leadership is in serving others. Few men will understand.
Greatest movie of all
Oh my, this scene always makes me cry.
Great to hear there's another film being discussed: 'The Hunt for Gollum'.
He's deep fried.
Best trilogy ever.
Thank you Tolkien and Peter Jackson for this wonderful masterpiece.
Outstanding! This just never gets old, and will continue bringing a lump to a throat and a tear to an eye long after I have departed this mortal coil.
Aragon is what every king should be
What any leader should be.
Hands down...the best trilogy and movie ever made...
It was just short enough where I didn’t cry. Again.
Such an incredible tale that even the smallest person is capable of great deeds.
One of the best movie scenes ever!
Kneeling to the Hobbits gets me every time! 😭
"My friends, you bow to no one" That is the only and first time I have ever cried at a movie theater watching a movie. And it was the last time.
okay, who cut the onions already? A magnificent scene and a wonderful piece of cinematography.
I originally saw the trilogy on.big screens in.theaters. That was an unforgettable experience. I have the DVDs so I can relive the experience anytime I wish !!!
This part still gives me goose bumps, and the Sam/Rosie part makes me laugh.
I cannot not cry when Aragon speaks to the hobbits.
Beyond Gold.
The Hobbits returning to The Shire is like going home after a great vacation, knowing that all that exists from before will be forever cherished from memory.
I still cry at this scene
"My friends, you bow to no one"
There is not a time I have seen this scene and got through without breaking down into tears
Pippin just smirks like this is normal. I'm dying.
Never again. Let that sink in. Never again will we get a trilogy THIS amazing. this is cinema at its finest all of them. The fact you feel like you went on this journey with Frodo and Sam that stretched the span of HOURS is just amazing.
When they come back to the shire you also feel like its been a long time and you feel "different" as well. like Frodo you are no longer the same. there and back again we always return to the king to watch these amazing stories again.
My first exposure to LOTR was in high school. Our teacher was in his mid 20s and was a big geek like me. (knew I loved WoW, Elder scrolls etc) and near the end of the school year he played the entire trilogy (as far as the day would let us) and that was my first time. where everyone else was walking around talking my butt was glued to that seat. Always heard about Lotr at the time. finally got to watch it. special.
Amazing Adventure and story.
Sam has faced hordes of orcs, dark magic, monsters, and is one of the great heroes of the Realm, and after all that he now has the courage to speak with his unrequired love. Heroism at its best.
"You bow to no one" and then the tears start to flow.
Spectacular series of movies. I still watch when they're shown on cable or streaming.👏🏽
