Fool of a Took! 😆 That's a favorite line between my sister and me, LOL! Gandalf can be a bit harsh, can't he? But also very wise and very kind. On to part 3!
@ThistleAndSea I felt bad for Mr. Took. 🙈 But it was also funny. 😊 I’ll use it on my sibling too. 😁 Yes, Gandalf can be a bit harsh but he’s so loving, too. 😊
I like this video. You are obviously watching the movie instead of trying to impress us, the viewers, with any overly snarky wit. Your reactions are genuine. Some reactors over emote in order to attempt to garner more attention. Keep up the good work. I hope your channel succeeds.
@johnmackendrick5173 Thank you! I’m glad you feel that way. I was getting absorbed into that world. I had to remind myself that there’s a camera recording my reaction & I should at least say something. 😁
A word about the West-door of Moria: The "password" isn't really a password; indeed, it is part of the inscription over the door: 'Ennyn Durin Aran Moria. Pedo *Mellon* a minno." That is, "The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak 'friend' and enter." There's a bit of back-story here that the film-makers left out to keep the action moving. This door marked the boundary between the ancient Dwarf kingdom of Khazad-Dum and the Elf kingdom of Eregion. Unique in Middle-earth, this was the one place where Elves and Dwarves had amicable relations and engaged in a profitable commerce with each other. This is why the inscription is in Elvish rather than Dwarvish, as one would expect, since much of the traffic through the doors would be by Elves. Gandalf explains, "In the days of Durin they were not secret. They usually stood open and doorwards sat here. But if they were shut, any who knew the opening word could speak it and pass in."
@johnwalters1341 Thank you! It’s nice to know more about it. Also, I’d say that in the movie they made that door look so dreamy & beautiful. So beautiful!
One of only a few trilogies where it only gets better with each movie. I really do love the sheer adventure and fantasy of the first, but the depth of character development in the next two movies, is testimony to the masterly way the director and his wife handled the masterpiece that is The Lord of the Rings.
@steveacfield131 I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie & I’m more than excited to watch the next ones. Everything & I mean everything, the acting, the cinematography, the soundtrack, it blows my mind. I’m starting to watch these actors differently now. 😁 For instance, Orlando Bloom will always be ‘Legolas’ for me now and I don’t even have to talk about Sir Ian McKellen. 😁
@@TarunpreetKaurGill I had read the books many times between 1978 and 2001, so I had a well formed mental picture of Gandalf. Sir Ians Gandalf looked exactly how I had imagined him for all those years.
@@lsrx101 I had imagined him more like Sean Connery (for example, in the books Gandalf has brown eyes, if I remember correctly), and he was even offered the role. However, McKellen gives the role everything, and even though I was Connery's fan, I'm glad he declined.
Great reaction and commentary...... loved it so much....and will never forget the part when "you became a pressure cooker"....lol...... it only gets better and better, my dear. Glad you are enjoying your journey on the best trilogy ever made!
_The Lord of the Rings_ trilogy, written 1937 - 1949 by J R R Tolkien are the most loved fantasy books (before Harry Potter) and at 50 million copies some of the best selling books in history. Tolkien was an ideal person to write fantasy - he was an Oxford professor of Anglo-Saxon who spoke many languages, and his field of study was the mythology and great epic poems, the sagas and eddas, of medieval northern Europe. The books became hugely popular during the 1960s because Hobbits appealed to hippies and counterculture people who wanted to drop out of modern life.
@seanmcmurphy4744 I’ve only watched the first movie till now, but I don’t have enough words to describe my growing fascination for the world J R Tolkien imagined & wrote down. It’s good to know more about him & his work. Thank you! 😊
It was by "chance" that all these different people arrived at Rivendell at that precise moment to decide what to do with the Ring. Another example of the benevolent guiding hand at work in this story.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us..." Still very relevant today. You're doing a great job. Just for info - Your audio mike is favouring the left - you may wish to adjust it slightly? Love your hats 😊
@chrisbanks6659 I loved it when Gandalf said ‘Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.’ Very very wise and humbling words! When I first heard it, I thought he said ‘death and judgment’. Even that made perfect sense. About the mic, I noticed it while editing the video, so part 3/3 is also going to have the same problem. I’d keep it right while recording the next video. 😊
@chrisbanks6659 Thank you for mentioning the hats! I’ve been told by my siblings that hats are not ‘in’ but I absolutely love wearing them. 😁 This one belongs to a grandparent & is very special to me. 😊

@@TarunpreetKaurGill Listen to no-one. Headwear is elegant, regardless of insignificant opinions. I (almost) always don a hat. Because I can 😊
It was especially relevant when the movie came out in 2001 just a couple months after 9/11.
Wonderful! I'll watch all of them once you get part 3 of FOTR loaded so I can watch the whole movie! 🙂
@ThistleAndSea Thank you! I’ll do it soon. 😊
