I know people complained about how many cross-country travel scenes there were in these movies, but I for one would gladly watch two hours of just people walking through Middle Earth.
@Rifle Eyez Agree, the escape from the Shire in the books - from Bag End to Buckland - is also my favourite part. Unfortunately that was one thing the movie changed for the worse. All the foreboding and lurking danger is replaced by a mad rush and suddenly they are in Bree. I understand the need for the movie's pacing but it was a real loss ( I was ok with dropping Bombadil and the Barrow Downs). I read a lot of online forums when FotR came out and NO ONE else commented on this, I couldn't believe nobody appreciated this part of the books. The only person I ever heard comment on it was British fantasy writer China Mieville, which is strange as he doesn't like Tolkien overall.
Wait .... does anyone ever complained about that? Really? I have heard hardcore fans complain about the changes and casuals complain about "too many endings" and long it is but I have never heard anyone complain about the travels troughout middle earth and the beutiful scenary and amazing music that comes with it.
Frodo uses his intuition, and understands Sindarin, and knows the Elven lore. He is more awakened than are the others as yet. He is older. Their respective journeys differ, and it begins with these interesting qualities. He's got spark that interests Bilbo, and he learns more than is usual, and he absorbs more into himself than is likely ever learned by usual hobbits, and his journey represents much more change than is at first hinted at, and what he takes upon himself to endure for the good of Middle Earth.
0:11-0:37 In this scene it's a true homage to the Books about the Rangers of the North. In the Books they had better sight, hearing and agility than most other humans. And Aragorn was the best in all of them. He heard the mere whispers of the Hobbits.

"She died." It sounds like that's the part of the tale Aragorn focuses on because he's worried about Arwen. I'm seriously glad for the subtitles, btw, because I didn't know that was the particular part Aragorn was singing. I'm glad to know now!
1:50 These are two men in a horse costume, not a real horse. Filming in a swamp made it extremly difficult to use a real animal, so they decided to use the actual cliché horse costume where one guy is in the hind legs and the other guy in the front legs.
“As the light upon the leaves of trees, as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world, such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light.”
This is one of my favourite parts of the movie :) When they wander to the Amon Sul and finally see it. Classic Tolkien scenery and "slow paced" story telling.
in 1:54 we see Bill the pony in a swamp. This is actually not a real pony but two men in a pony costume. It was too difficult to have the real pony act properly in this scene that they opted for the costumed pony.
Frodo: Who is she?

No. Elves don’t procreate that often because there literally no need to. They have eternal life. Over procreation of elves would leave to inevitable incest.
I never really thought about it until I rewatched this scene right now and some of the scenes with Sam later in the film, but Aragorn and Sam both have modified cloaks. Note quickly at 0:46 that Aragorn's cloak is literally SLITTED so he can wear his bow/bedroll/bag cross-body over it to keep his back and legs sheltered while also be able to toss the front thirds of the cloak around him for warmth! You can see the slits again in 1:49 as he's trying to move in the muck of the marshes. If you seek out other clips where Sam is wearing his big camping pack and cloak (later few hours of Fellowship, as well as plenty in Two Towers and Return of the King), you can note he did something similar by threading tied canvas(?) straps through slits in his cloak to hold the pack on his back while not requiring him to take his cloak off. It's strangely practical costume design and I never noticed it until now!
I can't imagine if they'd kept their original choice for Aragorn, 28-year-old Stuart Townsend, as Aragorn. Instead they realized they'd cast the role too young, and replaced him with 41-year-old Viggo Mortensen. I had, since the age of 12 when I read the book, always pictured Aragorn as a man in his 40s - that is to say, someone who retained the vigour of youth but had the wisdom of experience. Tolkien himself wrote that he pictured Aragorn as a man between 43-45 years of age, whatever his _actual_ age as a Dunedain. So thank god they cast Mortensen. He was the right age and he was incredibly dedicated to the role, sometimes sleeping in his armour, roughing it outside, constantly practicing his swordplay etc. You can see his dedication in other roles, like his collaborations with David Cronenberg, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method. Regarding Eastern Promises, he travelled solo on a train from Volgograd (?) I think, aka Stalingrad of WW2 fame, to Moscow. He had a naked fight scene in a bath, no conveniently placed, seemingly glued-on towels. He was bruised all to hell by the end of shooting the scene, as because he was nude they couldn't use the usual padding that they do to protect actors in fight scenes. In A Dangerous Method, the production sought out the actual brand of cigars Freud smoked, and Mortensen, a non-smoker, smoked them, in take after take, for months, throat irritation, coughing and all. Like, holy sh*t!
@squamish4244 Completely agree. But when I first saw the movies it took me a long time to get used to Mortensen, he looked very different to how I imagined Aragorn. I had always imagined him clean-shaven, shorter hair, slightly greying, with an aquiline nose. A bit like Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans but with shorter hair, older and taller.
Oh man, some of my favorite scenes from FOTR. It was cool seeing the translation of the words he's singing from the Lay of Luthien, although I think it incorrectly said Lady of Luthien

@@aesir1ases64 I recall some complaints in reviews when the movies came out.
The music in the first minute of this video is absolutely magnificent. It's a forlorn but regal foreshadowing of the coming of a King.
Or the returning of a king…
I always love how intrigued Frodo is with Aragorn. The others are wary of him, and don't entirely trust him, but Frodo does.
Just like with Gollum
Well, they're pretty young. According to the books, Frodo is already 50 while Sam, Merry and Pippin are respectively 35, 33 and 28 years old.
That's because you fancy Aragon as well

@@katherinewilson1853 indeed
Aragorn is bit more grimm in the movie. In the book he makes fun with the hobbits and laughs and tells stories. I love both versions.
I don’t think so, he definitely is more talkative in the book but it does describe him a lot as being very grim and stern
@@thebiz2678 I still love both versions.😍😍😍

In the Books they had better sight, hearing and agility than most other humans. And Aragorn was the best in all of them.

Dunedain few in number wondering the lands that once were the kingdom of Arnor which their ancestors lost during the Angmar war long ago.
the Rangers of the North were direct descendants of Numenor, and Aragorn came from the line of Elendil himself, unbroken. So yup.
