And
RIP Bernard Hill (December 17, 1944 - May 5, 2024), aged 79

@@noorayneladha470He knows his end is near.
@@noorayneladha470 he fell.
This scene has so much in it. The absolute despair in Wormtongue's voice when he realises his boys dropped the ball, the absolute certainty of Gandalf's walk knowing that the lads would take care of the heavy work, the cloak drop moment. Total masterpiece.
The reason that Gandalf was able to bring it with him was that the door said "Staff only"
@@toddkes5890hahahaha😂
Awful, as was the rest of Jackson's awful movies.
I was into fantasy as a lad but now I realize that WW2 was an epic fantasy story better than any piece of fiction. Always more to learn as well.
Meh
The morphing effect is uncanny. Looks better than most CGI made more than 20 years later.
It was done completely practical apparently, the actors had to film several shots perfectly mimicking the small movements and the footage was faded together
The whole Peter Jackson adaptation was probably the best book adaptation to a movie I’ve ever seen. There was so much left out cuz of tolkiens sheer ability to write an entire world on to paper but there’s no way these movies could have realistically been done any better. They are some of the best movies ever made.
@@danielgibbs9846 I concur. Unfortunately hollywood often strays from the source material and fills the movies with mindless action and virtue signalling that doesnt fit the setting like the fiasco called rings of power....
@@BridgeTROLL777 the rings of power is vastly superior in every way. these movies are stupid compared to the tv shows sheer brilliance.
@@nepntzerZer Are you being sarcastic?
Rest in peace, king Theoden - Bernard Hill ( 5/5/2024 ) Thank you sir, for being a great part of my childhood
and a amazing king
"Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!"
Gandalf just set Grima on fire here
What’s the ugly dudes name, is he the same guy that plays Gollum. The one that talks to the king when he’s possessed? Curious to know
@@NaomiC-zk6ndnope, it's a different actor. The actor who played Grima is Brad Dourif, while the one who played Gollum is Andy Serkis
@@NaomiC-zk6ndHe's Brad Dourif. You may remember him from such 90s genre shows as Star Trek: Voyager, and The X-Files. (3 episodes, and 1 episode respectively).
But perhaps best known as the voice of Chucky.
Now we just need someone to edit Chucky into LoTR, in the place of Wormtongue ...
You see you don't have to use profanity to rebuke evil
_”You have no power here, Gandalf the Grey!”_
Takes off the grey robe to reveal that he is now Gandalf the White: The look on Theoden’s face is priceless. Gets me every time.
He has risen!
He didn't even waste any time with a witty one-liner like "That's Gandalf the White for you" but went straight to business.
Oh no The New Dior white collection ! *dead*
Saruman must have been bummed (I'm surprised he didn't see there's something different in 'Gandalf the Grey' at all)
Gandalf flashed Theoden! 🤣
RIP Bernard Hill. Now you are legend
Can we just appreciate how Éowyn was fully prepared to fight Gandalf when she thought he was hurting Théoden? Badass and also very nice foreshadowing.
Something about watching Gandalf walking uninterrupted by the 3-piece combo being dished out around him to the entire kings guard of Rohan is beautiful.
That wasn't the king's guard getting laid out. Those were Grima's personal thugs.
The king's guard is favorable to the wizard, they know he can help the king return to normal.
RIP Theoden. Fine character actor and actor all around.
The look of utter joy on Eowyn's face as Theoden's vitality returns is beautiful. If you've ever known someone with depression and seen them find their joy again, the moment hits like an avalanche.
Theoden didn't have depression.
Well it probably did seem so to to those around him.@@MaskedMan66

Wut?
@@MaskedMan66i think they were talking about Eowyn lol - she was all sad and depressed and then she lit up again seeing her uncle okay
Witless worm remains one of the best insults of all time.
youre forgetting "Gandalf the White... Gandalf the FOOL!"
Rest in Peace, Bernard Hill. Hail the victorious dead! Hail Theoden King!
HAIL! 🍺
HAIL!
0:46 The sound effect when Gandalf gestures towards Theoden is just one of the small things that made this trilogy so good. In the theatre, that short boom of the bass makes you feel it like his magic is coming out of the screen.
And the subtle gust of wind when he makes his gesture.
Omg so true
And you can hear a slight snake hiss in the background anytime Grima speaks
Yes
Yea the bass noise whenever Gandalf uses his staff/powers is brilliant. You can almost believe there's an invisible magical force unseen to our eyes that's going on when he does it.
I love the fact booting Saruman out of Theoden also drains/tires Gandalf out as the battle of minds takes place, you can see he's genuinely drained by the encounter, which is brilliant again.
RIP Bernard Hill. Rest easy King Theoden 😢.
I write this to pay my respects to King Théoden AKA Bernard Hill.
"I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."
May you rest in peace.
(17 December 1944 - 5 May 2024)
During Theodens transformation, everyone in the theater gasped because of how smooth and shocking he looked. A really great use of morphing that I have yet to see rivaled today in movies.
1:57 the way he gets yeeted and flies across the floor completely limp SENDS ME 😂😂😂
Sauruman was literally 'knocked on his a@@'!
Bernard Hill doesn't get enough credit for his performance in these movies. There was so much that was great, he has seemingly been overlooked. If you watch the movies again, just recap how many great lines and great scenes he has.
I love his speech at Gondor. When he says it will be 'a sore day, a red day!', man you feel it!
I agree - the CGI and makeup are amazing in this scene, but Bernard Hill so convincingly goes from old and bitter to peaceful and full of life in 2 minutes. Wonderful acting. I think he is underrated in this movie.
Bernard Hill was also in Titanic as Captain Smith - great there too. But IMHO, the LOTR was his crowning role.
Theoden is my favourite Lotr character
he gets a fuckton of credit. everyone knows he was great
I love how Gandalf just walks forward and the trio just clears the way
The cut to Saruman was absolutely perfect.
Christopher Lee was such an amazing actor. Not only he was the only one who have read the entire original book trilogy before filming, he also personally knew Tolkien, and he was good friends with him! Christopher Lee was the only one from the entire cast who really knew what the film is about. And the way he played Saruman, that's just masterpiece. Sir Ian McKellen is also incredibly talented actor, and a perfect choice for the role of Gandalf.
He had wanted to play Gandalf but when this movie was made, his body was too old to play Gandalf so, he played Saruman at least.
i swear dudes be in dooku clone wars clips talking about christopher lee relationship with tolkein
Spot on! Also, have you heard of the story of when Peter Jackson was directing Christopher Lee on what sound he should make when being stabbed in the back. Lee, having fought in World War 2 and being apart of the British Intelligence, gave Peter Jackson a tutorial on what someone really sounds like being stabbed in the back. Jackson didn't push the topic further and directed as was instructed by Lee. I think there's a video on youtube of their interaction.
@@tonytee5121 Yes.
@@tonytee5121 Only on *every* . *single* . *video* clip of Saruman and/or Scaramanga on TH-cam.
I love when he just says, "staff! I told you to take the wizard's STAFF!" 😂
More precisely he says "His staff!" at first 😁
Would you take away an old man’s walking stick?
They can't afford his staff! Not on minimum wage.
Should have paid his staff over the award minimum.
@@NeroVingian40they thought it was a different kind of staff
RIP King Theoden. Thanks for your dedication and part of my all time beloved franchise
R. I. P. Captain Smith. You'll be missed 😢
The one guard who stopped the other from drawing his sword was like: no, no let this play out
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
His reward? Well let's just say he got "rewarged"
@@TheBfutgregthat was terrible.😂😂😂 Rip hema
Rest in peace Bernard Hill
I love the scene where king Theoden holds his sword, stares at it for a moment recalling everything he's been through recently, and then his eyes shift their focus from the sword to Grima for just a second. I've never seen an expression that so clearly says, "You f'ed around and you're about to find out!", as that from any actor in any movie! A golden moment!
RIP Bernard Hills
The way the effects artists and the actor work hand-in-hand, you can SEE the life returning to his eyes
Brad Dourif who plays Grima Wyrmtongue was an excellent bit of casting.
yes. alternative could've been tommy wiseau
@@scatterthewinds3126 "I did not betray him, thats total bullshit, I did naaaaaaoaooooooot. Oh hi, Gandalf!"
Was also a great full-on antagonist in Myst 3
Also one of the best British accents from an American I've ever heard.
Andy Serkis could have played him too.
Long live King Theoden !! Rohirrim !!
Westu Theoden Hal! RIP Bernard Hill, King of Rohan
RIP Bernard Hill - In this scene you are all of humanity - we will wake up
I will draw you Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound.
The tables have totally flipped in this film, Gandulf is now the more powerful.
Rest in peace, brave king!😢
50 years from now, people will be watching this, not marvel movies.
Edit "okay yes there are good marvel movies. However they have significantly fallen off. Its all about the money now."
Why not both
@@TechGuyBeauyes, we can appreciate both
Damn dude, what did MCU films do to you?
"New bad, old good"
When will you boomers understand you can actually like both things?
I don't know why Marvel movies always get so much hate when one mentions films like LOTR, Star Wars, POTC etc.
RIP King of Rohan. Bernard Hill!!
This is what happens when the people who love the work, do the work. Bravo to cast and crew. Your working is your mettle.
RIP Bernard Hill
Rest in peace Bernard Hill, you live on as a legend!!! 😢
rest in peace lord theoden
Amazon: RoP is canon
Fans: You have no power here.
Theoden's actor did an outstanding job💯
Bernard Hill. He was awesome.
R.I.P. Bernard Hill
I look like King Theoden when before my morning coffee.
This is my favourite scene by far from the entire trilogy. It reminds me of my awakening from major depression in 1991 and never fails to move me to tears.
Bernard Hill was superb in all his unforgettable scenes as King Theoden, and surely all who marvelled at his great acting and his uniquely human touch now mourn his passing.
Aragorn: “For he was a gentle heart and a great king and kept his oaths; and he rose out of the shadows to a last fair morning.”
Rip Theoden King
Rest in peace Bernard
brief the free air again my friend, rip bernard hill
RIP king Theoden(Bernard Hill)
This grandfather of all of us was our Courage our King our Captain our Leader our Noble Man and our LOTR great Vibe of Eorlingas... The world is not the same again😓😥😭
One of my favorite scenes! The captain of the guards stopping his men from getting involved was a nice touch. He had a good idea of what was going on.
The de-aging part was freaking epic
So glad I got to see this trilogy in theaters. Scenes like this really reaffirm how much heart and effort was put into it. From the cast on screen to the guys working tirelessly behind it to make it the masterpiece that it would become.
Same mate! Went to pre release for the trilogy, had to save up some money as poor student back then :D Amazing experience.
To this day, it still amazes me how smooth the transition from Theoden looking so old and worn out to his actual age is.
Just how well the wrinkles, long hair, pale skin and near blind eyes fade. Cant exactly have been easy to achieve in the early 2000´s.
They used 4 stages of makeup and shot this scene 4 different times and spliced the clips together.
@@thevoid8544 Ah. That makes sense. Must have taken a few weeks or more time for Bernard to be prepped and do the scene with each layer of makeup.
@@Mrstealth93 yup. LOTR deserves all of it's Oscars. Everyone worked so hard for it.
What amazes me is how his long, messy beard goes back to a neat goatee.
@@thevoid8544 Ah yes, only when you have described it I can see now some subtle blending points. It still holds up very well even nowadays.
RIP Bernard Hill. HAIL THÉODEN KING!
RIP my admirated Bernard Hill 😞🎭🇬🇧🕊️
😢😢😢rest in power king theoden , ❤bernard hill
RIP Bernard Hill. You were a great actor. Theoden was a good role for you. We will remember you for this for years to come.
This whole 2mins 57sec of clip is better than the whole season of R.O.P
RIP to cinemas greatest kings and hero of Rohan. HAIL THEODEN KING! 👑
RIP King Théoden
RIP Bernard Hill
1:10 It's a good thing Gandalf was wearing a second robe underneath.
Love even the little detail of the blood running from Saruman's eyes after Gandalf...well, effectively exorcises him from Theoden. He was concentrating so hard to maintain connection that he broke blood vessels.
Just love how eoywn is more like a daughter than a niece
god I love lord of the rings, everything about it, the characters, the plot, the many emotions it gives, the lessons it teaches, the list goes on. The books are the best thing to ever come to this world, but they did an incredible job making a movie out of it, probably the best movie adaptation ever.
Listen to the BBC Radio series from 1980; it leaves these bloated movies in the dust.
I agree although the movie couldn't show everything that the books described. Nevertheless the adaptation from book to movie was fantastic.
RIP King
1:03 - 1:06
The scene that gave us some quality memes lol. 🤣👌
"Dark have been my dreams of late" hit home.
Just coming here after the sad news about Bernard Hill.
Hail Théoden, son of Thengel, King of the Rohirrim
Every single actor in this trilogy is spectacular. The casting is absolutely perfect.
I always found it funny how awful Theoden looked when possessed 😂😂😂
Same thing in Shadow of Morder with the woman who was possessed.
i think i'm possessed
@@gendoruwo6322
😂
@@gendoruwo6322 Well, then, yield your heart to Christ and let Him evict your demons. Only way out.
He's literally me every Monday morning.
Have to say, the moment I clocked that the mighty Bernard Hill was playing the King figure, I guessed a transformation was on the cards. He was and is too powerful an actor to have the character spend the movie so diminished in his possessed state.
At least he wasn't on a ship in 1912 in this film series.
The LOTR trilogy is a masterpiece. We won't see such awesomeness in cinema anymore, I'm affraid.
The Dark Knight trilogy comes close imo.
Agreed.
I hope Hollywood doesn't do a re-make of The Ring Trilogy, because a re-make would probably be Woke Garbage.
@@ZombieSlayerTakashinot even close
There's tons of great movies. Oppenheimer just came out this summer, thats a masterpiece. Just a stupid comment
I would have followed you. My Captain ( Titanic ), My King ( LotR ). Rest in Peace, Bernard Hill.
well said.
The detail I find fascinating was cut from this clip - right at the beginning, as Gandalf & co. walk into the room, Grima whispers into Theoden's ear that Gandalf's there.
The implication being that Saruman would hear those words, drop whatever he was doing at the time and join the call, which becomes apparent as Gandalf unleashes his white power.
I love how you call them Gandalf & co hahahah
While the movie version was visually stunning, it lacked the subtlety of Theodin’s possession by wormtounge in the book. He was poisoned by words for years, not possessed by Sauroman physically. The Ishtari were not allowed to use their supernatural powers while on earth either
@@toryquinton2677 Not really familiar with LotR, isn't the Istari with the title of; "the White" in charge of their fellows? With Gandalf gaining that title does he effectively take Sauromans place, and does he react in any way to pretty much being fired for currying favor with Sauron?
@toryquinton2677 So then their color title isn't to do with their authority within their group, or which Valar they served, but their character alignment? Like being Lawful Good? Gandalf wasn't promoted to Sauromans role after his fall from grace then, but he does seem to be more powerful after his fight with the Balrog, and now goes by The White. If that marks him as having pure aspirations, why send five guys with four different.. aspirations, rather than all sharing the same goal? Gandalf was the only one to do his job in the end, no? Is that a reflection of his alignment or the Valar he serves? Did none of them receive any oversight from their 'bosses'?
@@toryquinton2677 Very interesting, thank you. Never could get into the books, should give them another try one of these days
Yeah when I first read the books I had no idea *why* the razing of the shire happened. It should have ended with the crowning of the king or with Frodo sailing to the grey havens without having the shire ruined because it had nothing to do with anything else that happened in the war of the ring.
@@toryquinton2677 Hence Wormtongue said to Gandalf, "I name you Lathspel, Ill-news, and ill news is an ill guest, they say."
Gandalf was like I cast you out madda fu**a😂😂😂
This is classic, no cinema nowdays can compete this masterpiece
I will draw you Saruman as poison is drawn from a wound!!! Brilliant scene
This is what it looks like when a person quits an addiction....
I absolutely LOVED this scene!
“I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.”
Gandalf knocks people out with his staff so he won’t have to murder them with his tongue.
still one of the greatest effecs coupled with just great storytelling
It’s like me when I’m working Monday to Friday and me at the weekend after. Lol 😂
1:03 When you see a teacher outside of school
All hail King Theoden!
Thank you for everything Mr. Hill.
I like how he get a new beard cut!
Me: **reads the title**
“Wait a second…”
this scene its my favourite from the movie, i didnt remember other scene on any movie with that "if you blink you will miss it" effect
0:55
Haahahahaha you have no pauwer hier, Gandalf the grey, hehahahah auweeehggk
“I know your faaace…”😢❤❤❤
The small detail of the bruise on Sarumans forehead after Gandalf strikes Theoden King with his staff, but no bruise on Theoden, makes this scene perfect to me.
For everyone who doesn't know about lore in this scene, Gandaft was once called "The Grey wizard" which come from his robe color and that form is his nerf form because all wizards in Lotr are once the gods who reincarnate to the human form to help human even Saruman too, Now we see that Gandalf become white which he gain this power by dieing fighting the giant monster name "Barok" then he sent to heaven and reincarnate again with his full power that why White robe is more powerful than grey one
What's even better? The hissy fit Saurman pitches about Gandalf the White later. 😂
Rest in peace Mr. Bernard Hill [*]
Gandalf is the greatest messianic archetype in literature.
imagine being in aightmare and the first thing you see after waking up is Eowyn's Face
I like how Gandalf disguised himself by wearing grey cloak made Saruman underestimated him. If Saruman knew Gandalf was stronger than him, he could have killed Theoden immediately.
If Theoden died, Rohan couldn’t be saved.
Without the help of Rohan, Gondor would be defeated.
Aragorn couldn’t led his army to distract Sauron, creating an opportunity for Frodo and Sam to destroy the ring.
Only a small detail changed the fate of a whole world.
