    Addie, the reason those gems mean so much to Thranduil is because they were meant to be a gift for his wife and he asked the dwarves to create a necklace out of them, but she died before it was complete and Thror refused to give them back to Thranduil due to his dragon sickness.

      there is cut scene where gandalf asks thranduil if he wanna lose his living son over some gems meant for his dead wife... 20-30 seconds scene would explain why he wanted them so much
      Thranduil wasnt bad person, he just lost his father and 2/3 of army in battle of the last alliance, then his wife died in gundabad. He just cared for his people and didnt want them to die in another wars. For his grief he kinda got stuck in past and forgot his son is still alive and cared more for some jewels.
      In movie they potrayed him like villain. I would say it is same as denethor, he wasnt bad just circumstances made him do bad/stupid things.

    Galadriel is likely the most powerful Elf in Middle-Earth at this point. She is older than both the Sun and the Moon, and was one of the very few still living to have seen the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before Melkor killed them. The Elves of the First Age were mighty in the ways of natural magic and spirit magic, especially those of the line of Finwe. She is also brother to Finrod Felagund, who founded the great hidden kingdom of Nargothrond, and grandmother of Arwen (whose mother Celebrian is Galadriel's daughter).
    The reason she's so tempted by the power of the Ring and such is because that is why she left Valinor; not to chase after the Silmarils with Feanor and the other Noldorin elves, but to build her own realm in the world and make things the way she wanted them to be. The lure of power is something she's always had to be wary of because of her ambition, and it's not been helped by her taking custody of one of the Three rings given to the Elves: Nenya, the ring of water, which was how she preserved and protected Lothlorien for so long.

    A callback I only just noticed rewatching the other day (for the 1st time since the theater release). When King Thranduil is suggesting to Bard that he should just sell the Arkenstone, he says Ecthelion of Gondor would buy it. Ecthelion was the contemporary Steward at the time … father of Denethor and grandfather of Boromir and Faramir.

    • @ronweber1402

      Which could have totally changed the dynamic of Aragorn's part of LOTR as I'm sure Ecthelion would have used his possession of the Arkenstone (The King's Jewel) as proof of his right to be king of Gondor.

    Thing about the three Elven Rings: they're kind of the opposite of the One Ring - the Elven Rings are basically invisible unless the bearer wishes to reveal them. In _The Fellowship of the Ring,_ Galadriel revealed to Frodo that she possesses Nenya, the Ring of Adamant (also called the Ring of Water), which you clearly see here, as well. Remember Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog earlier in _Fellowship_ - "I am the Servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor!"

      ​@@sanchayansarkar2953 Gandalf is associated with fire in many different ways, I was just using this statement as an example. (The third Elven Ring is Vilya, the Ring of Air.)
      For what it's worth, the Ring of Fire, Narya, is also less about actual fire and more about inflaming people's hearts. (The Elven Rings were about healing and preservation in general, actually.) For instance, whenever he took his place among the Men of Gondor, they overcame their fear and were able to stand firm in the face of the Nazgûl during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in _The Return of the King._ Another big example is what he did with Théoden in _The Two Towers_ book version; it was less about releasing Théoden from some spell and more about encouraging him to cast off the self-doubts and fears that had been steadily whispered into his ear by Gríma.
      _'Not all is dark. Take courage, Lord of the Mark; for better hep you will not find. No counsel have I to give to those that despair. Yet counsel I could give, and words I could speak to you. Will you hear them? They are not for all ears. I bid you come out before your doors and look abroad. Too long have you sat in shadows and trusted to twisted tales and crooked promptings.'_
      In any event, you can clearly see Narya on Gandalf's finger during the scene at the Grey Havens in _The Return of the King,_ when he bids the hobbits farewell. It's gold, with a red jewel. It isn't explicitly identified in the films, but it is in the book.
      _Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly on his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire. Then those who were to go were glad, for they knew that Gandalf also would take ship with them._

      @@OrdinaryInspiration The scene still speaks to Jackson's self-admitted bias towards the Elves. The source material has Galadriel and the White Council go to Dol Guldur, where she casts down its walls, but this was after Sauron's spirit had left it for Barad-dûr and there's not mention of there ever being a confrontation between the two of them. In the texts Sauron doesn't leave Dol Guldur because he's cast out, but simply because he's grown powerful enough that he feels he can safely return to Barad-dûr and no longer needs to hide away under the guise of the Necromancer.
      Jackson intentionally chose to portray Galadriel as being powerful enough to banish Sauron, which would imply to those unfamiliar with the source material that she is stronger than him, but there is no substantial evidence for this in the books. Had the confrontation happened a few decades or centuries earlier while Sauron's spirit was still relatively weak then it would've made sense, but at this point he's only about 60 years away from being strong enough to reform his physical form, meaning he's been building his strength for around 2940 years. While he'd probably not have been strong enough to destroy her at this point he should at least have been able to resist her to the point of a standstill.

Connolly was an internationally famous Glaswegian stand-up who also enjoyed some success as a character actor on American TV.

    The Dwarves are a race of smiths and warriors. It's no surprise that they spent centuries refining how to wage war, especially against the Elves and Orcs. Most Elves had essentially hit their height of power long before the movies, with the First Age being their zenith. The Dwarves, Orcs and Men had spent the Second and Third Ages rising in power, which is why the Elves themselves, having been exhausted by the wars against Morgoth and Sauron, chose to leave Middle-Earth for the Undying Lands.

      First and foremost the dwarves are miners. They dig deeply into the mountain for the jewels and other treasures. Thats the reason why they become smithies. When they grown mightily, they become warriors bec of their enemies.

      The elves chose to leave middle earth because they where called upon by the valar and feared fading. Which is the reason why they made the rings, to stop time from passing and them from fading (they where deceived by Sauron), but in the end they could not, once the one ring was destroyed, they had no protection anymore and so left (with the exception of woodelves)

    Least to most essential extended cuts for these Middle-Earth movies, IMO:
    6. "The Fellowship of the Ring" (doesn't genuinely add anything that further informs plot and/or character points in subsequent movies)
    5. "An Unexpected Journey" (only ahead of "Fellowship" because it adds the subplot regarding the current status of the Dwarven and Elven rings, and also first alludes to Kíli's interest in female Elves)
    4. "The Desolation of Smaug"
    3. "The Battle of the Five Armies"
    2. "The Two Towers"
    1. "The Return of the King"

    I have watched several reviews from first time watchers of the hobbit.. Since The Rings Movies came first Most watch them before seeing the Hobbit.. Listening to some of the comments people make I'm Thinking But The HOBBIT WAS FIRST .... It Totally Bothered Me that The Ring Movies came out first, I was Screaming What about The Hobbit ??? How Cam You make These Movies Without THE HOBBIT ???? I wonder if anyone else who Grew Up Reading all the books feel the same way as I Do... If anyone reading this has Not seen any of the movies I Highly Recommend you watch THE HOBBIT FIRST Since It was The First Book !

    Dain Ironfoot is played by Billy Connolly, a Scottish comedian. In the UK they say "Sod off" instead of "Fuck Off". Sod is short for sodomy. So they snuck in a curse but it went over the heads of the American audience.

    I found your channel because of LOTR and I love your reaction! My favorite part about the hobbit movies is in this one we finally get to see just how powerful Galadriel is. Makers of rings of power should have taken notes. I thought it was awesome when you called her majestic cause that’s absolutely what she’s supposed to be!

  • @rickpopham5400

    It's cool that you've decided to read The Trilogy and The Hobbit. When you read The Hobbit, keep in mind that the Jackson films are a combination of what you'll read in The Hobbit, and The Appendices that Tolkien included at the end of The Return of the King. Personally, I'm happy he included this material as it better sets the stage for the reemergence of Sauron in Lord of the Rings. But it does add a lot more to The Hobbit, which might make you wonder what's going on as you read it.

    Did you catch that when Galadriel banished Sauron, she was holding the Light of Earendil, the light she later gave to Frodo? Elrond is cool. Galadriel is his mother-in-law.
    As far as the battle goes, it was foolish for the elves to jump over the dwarf phalanx to fight the orcs. The battle scenes in this movie are ridiculous.

About the Orc Who ask to Gandalf where is the "ring" in fact is not Galadriel ring but Gandalf ring the "ring" (it's complicated to explain but someone with no ring can't see a ring or if they can they need good mind good eyes... so he ask where is he) Gandalf have one of the elves ring (when Gandalf came to middle earth Cirdan The Ship maker (lord of the heavens the place where frodo leave middle earth) give to Gandalf his ring for help him in his task)
    And with Elrond here (Who have also a ring) the three elves ring was in the same place !

  • @brucewilliams4152
    @brucewilliams4152 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The istari, ( wizards) are myar spirits from the elvish undying lands. ( you need to read the silmirillion).. Galadriel knew the myar spirit that became Gandalf when she lived in the undying land. Hisform in middle earth was transformed to old man but I think she see his immortal form, which is incredibly beautiful male .
    But you need to read the silmirilion to I understand so.e things in the hobbit and lotr.
    It's is like when gimli ask for a hair, she gives him three. Feanor, the greatest noldor( elf) lord asked galaxies for three hairs from her head...she refused.

    “It is worth all the blood we can spend.” He means the lives of their kin. All those soldiers who’re fighting & dying just for the riches of that mountain. The king only thinks of himself with all that wealth compared to his followers thinking of reclaiming their homeland.

    Any idea why and when thorin was forging a gigantic golden bell just to break his own wall down and then charging out, avoiding getting hit by rocks and the bell. Not to mention they all thought it would be a great idea to get out of their shiny mithril chainmails and plate armor they found inside the mountain and now they fight inside their light film leather armor? Thats one aspect of why fans like me are very critical about the hobbit. It doesnt make much sense. Too much over the top. They all must have died countless times, at least once because the fat orc fell on them.

    In the books, the master of lake town survived and was no where near this dumb.
    Although he was considered a little bit of a coward, he was actually a decent towns leader, under his leadership lake town was described to have a long period of peace and trade with the elves.
    He was also the one suspicions of the dwarfs, not Bard.
    This entire thing with the master having so much gold while everyone is poor is just made up by PJ, the people of lake town where not really ever described as being poor until the dragon came.

    I'm sure it's been brought to your attention before, but when Thorin tells Bilbo that he "wouldn't part with a single coin", he directly quoted Smaug, who told him the same thing earlier, that's how much Dragon Sickness was a factor in Thorin acting the way he did...

  • @martinacusetti8002
    @martinacusetti8002 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you read The Lord of the Rings don't skip over the Appendices (the "bonus part" at the end): you can find there a LOT of additional information about this world, timelines, languages, events (even events AFTER the story) and the background story of many characters (as the dwarfs you see in The Hobbit, not directly included in the book itself). It's hard to believe that this amount and dept of details is the work of a single man! I recommend at least Appendix A-1, Part 5 "The story of Aragorn and Arwen"; a chapter full of beauty, joy and sadness at the same time like many things in Middle-Earth: Tolkien desired this to be part of the main tale but he was aware this should have slowed down an already looooong book, so in the end he moved that chapter to the Appendices; that's why Arwen doesn't appear much in the book. But it's a fundamental part of the story (that's why scriptwriters rightly put her in the movies): after all Aragorn put all efforts to help Frodo and defeat Sauron not only to repair the error of his ancestor Isildur, but also to became worthy of Arwen, an immortal maiden of a superior race, the most beautiful jewel in the House of Elrond.
    First chapters may appear slow, especially if you're used to fast paced action modern books. But Tolkien is a traditional narrator and he wants us discover his world step by step as the Hobbits do in their travels. It's a long journey so have a little patience and you'll be rewarded.
    The Two Towers book has a different timeline compared to the movie: the first part is only about Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, so for hundreds of pages you know nothing about Frodo and Sam! This is a simple but very effective way to put the reader in the same mood of growing stress and anxiety of the characters: the fellowship is broken and they don't know what's happening to the others! This probably doesn't work on you as you already know the story from the movies, but I hope you'll notice and appreciate this trick!
    Within the book there is a map which helps avoid confusion between places like Erebor (the dwarvish kingdom in The Hobbit) and Moria (the one in The Lord of the Rings, Khazad-dum in Dwarvish). Moria fell down long ago; after the events in The Hobbit some dwarfs from the Thorin's company leaded by Balin tried to reclaim it as they did with Erebor. After an initial success they at last were overwhelmed, that's why we see Balin's tomb in Moria in Lord of the Rings.
    The Hobbit book was intended by Tolkien for a children tale, so it's written in a more simple and funny way compared to The Lord of the Rings (which is a mature mythology); don't be surprised finding different writing styles in various Tolkien works.
    The Hobbit movies are not as good as Lord of the Rings movie (though they worth a view if you like Middle-Earth): they changed/messed up/invented (too) many little and big things with questionable results. Changes in Lord of the Rings had the purpose of fit more material, changes in The Hobbit... I don't know.
    Tolkien never wrote about dwarfs burping and farting or Radagast's face covered with bird's poo: trash things like these are not his style (Dwarfs are harsh people, but definitely gentlemen, and Radagast is a respectable Wizard). The book has many funny moments without ANY vulgarity.
    The very good part is that they included in the movies events and character that aren't directly described in the book, but we know from other sources (The Lord of the Rings and the above mentioned Appendices) their presence and deeds at that time in that places (as Radagast, Legolas or the attack at Dol Guldur), in order to offer a more complete view of the events preceding The Lord of the Rings trilogy; after all, we all know it's all part of the same single unique story, isn't it?
    Last thing, never forget the "hidden" message: pity and mercy are the only real way to defeat Evil (starting from Bilbo sparing Gollum's life, without which The ring would not have been destroyed 80 years after). Any act of violence, even made with good purpose, turns in the end to evil or bad things. So, try not to desire death for the villains!
    Please, please, please! Let us know you impressions with a reaction/commentary video(s) for the books!
