Comments
Joined to watch the movie reaction after watching the first hour on YT. Probably a weird comment and I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this, or if you're a reader. However, seeing how much you enjoyed the adaptation I would really recommend giving the books a go. Unfotunately whilst I always thought The Hobbit was an easier read, and more of a childrens read. The movie adaptation went way too far. Seeing how much you enjoyed the world, I think you'd really enjoy Tolkien's work, I'd start with the hobbit and then see if you fancy the trilogy itself. It can be a little heavy at time, but it's just as if not more worth it than this movie adaptation.

2025-04-06 19:22:58 +0000 UTCAs mentioned by Vegeta900X on Youtube the lore about Gimil's, son of Gloin, request for a strand of hair and Galadriel giving three has such deep meaning with Legolas, son of Thranduil, is most certain smiling as this tale is known by all Elven Folk.

2024-12-07 10:36:41 +0000 UTCI love your reactions, and emotion while watching this film. Thank you for making these reactions. You should hear the dirge that was written for Boromir to remember him: Search youtube for: Lament for Boromir - Enhanced Edition - Clamavi De Profundis Boromir is most relatable to me. Strong, able, but also flawed and capable of making mistakes, even when trying to do the right thing. What a tragic tale, and one of my favorite characters.

2024-12-06 20:43:40 +0000 UTCI'm really happy to hear you talk about Boromir at the end, especially considering a lot of people don't understand what he's going through. He's one of my favorite characters, and you're absolutely spot on. The Ring preys on your deepest desires, insecurities, and weakness. Boromir is SUCH a good man and wants so badly to save his people and turn the tide against evil that the Ring used really exploited that and used it against him. Like you caught onto, this is why Hobbits seem at least to have a unique resistance to its effects, as they don't have many of those to grab onto. It does not discriminate though, eventually ALL would fall to the ring given enough exposure, time, or circumstance, so ANY time you see moments like Aragorn resisting or ESPECIALLY Gandalf and Galadriel being OFFERED the ring, it's incredible to see them be able to hold back. It knows just what to say to each person in each situation to try as hard as it possibly can to return to its master. This is my favorite story of all time and I've probably seen this amazing trilogy over 50 times in its entirety and read the book multiple times (which you absolutely should even if you're even remotely interested, as it provides probably 50x the content of the movies) and you are already one of my favorite reactors and I absolutely cannot wait to see more of your journey through this! Thank you so much.

2024-11-27 11:29:50 +0000 UTCI see that a number of people are telling you to watch the making of the trilogy video, which are wonderful and include some videos specifically about the soundtrack. There are also a couple of YouTube creators who have made some fabulous videos over the years that delve into this as well. I’m going to put the link here for one that is about the soundtrack and its creator Howard Shore. It is a short video, around eight minutes long, but does a wonderful job and pretty much focuses just on the first movie and how the primary musical themes are used in it. The title of the video is Lord of the Rings: How Music Elevates Story. https://youtu.be/e7BkmF8CJpQ?si=xlCRb9_akfkXmanT

2024-11-22 05:55:18 +0000 UTCAs far as why Sam calls Frodo, Mr. Frodo, it is because Sam was literally his servant in the Shire. His gardener specifically. Frodo, Merry and Pippin are like gentry. And they are all related in various ways. Tolkien grew up in England when the class structure was much more adhered to. And the relationship that he set up between Sam and Frodo mirrored a military relationship that was very important during the time that Tolkien served in WWI. At that time, the British officers typically had a personal assistant assigned to them that was called their batman. From what I understand this originated out of the calvary, and the batman took care of the officer’s personal gear and was their personal servant in general. While they were from different social classes, these relationships were often some of the closest formed in the military. And it was not uncommon for a batman to continue to work for the officer after their military service. A good example of this was what was shown in the popular television show Downton Abbey, where Lord Gratham’s batman, Bates became his valet. Frodo and Sam’s relationship is drawn from what Tolkien experienced in the world he lived in.

2024-11-22 04:50:06 +0000 UTCI saw this popup on YouTube and had to come here for the full length, I was not disappointed! It's really nice to have someone come into this trilogy with almost no knowledge of the world and clearly fall in love with it almost immediately. And you're really sharp too - picking up on a lot of stuff that most people don't notice (or at least don't verbalize). I won't say which 'cos spoilers and I'm definitely looking forward to the next two! I heartily recommend doing the three Hobbit movies once you're done with Return of the King. Yes they're probably not quite on the same level as these three (will anything ever be?), but seeing how much you love this world and the characters in it, I am certain you will also absolutely love those three.

2024-11-22 03:04:05 +0000 UTCIf you look up the significance of why Galadriel giving Gimli 3! hairs is indeed generous, you will be amazed.

2024-11-21 21:11:06 +0000 UTCIts not like poetry. It IS poetry. Tolkiens books are full of song and verses.

2024-11-21 20:54:13 +0000 UTCI know I'm a bit late to the party, buy the LOTR trilogy is awe - inspiring and breathtaking. I want to say how much I thoroughly enjoy your reactions, they are so heartfelt and sincere. Thanks.

2024-09-28 09:08:30 +0000 UTCSeveral times, you mentioned the depth of the lore. One reason it is so vast is that Tolkien first created the languages of Middle-Earth. Then he came up with stories of people who would have spoken them. These are the "Elder days" and the "ancient world" referenced in the movie. At the time, he had not yet even conceived of Lord of the Rings. But once he did, he had a vast wealth and history to pull details and references out of.

2024-09-28 02:25:25 +0000 UTCSomething that doesn't get noticed a lot, as Boromir is floating away you see Aragorn wearing his Gondor Bracers. Nice touch showing Aragorn embracing his Gondor heritage

2024-09-27 08:44:31 +0000 UTCYou definitely should watch the "Making of" these movies on your own time when you are finished with them. You will be mind blown by the dedication and labour that went into them by the entire crew, as well as some of the stories. For example, when Aragorn fought the big Uruk Hai at the end and had the knife thrown at him that he deflected with his sword, Viggo Mortensen actually managed to do that for real, it is not CGI. They used the shot where he did that in the final cut. There is an internet rumor that the knife throw was accidental, which is wrong, they intended for it, he was just meant to dodge it. They just found the take with the deflection to be cooler.

2024-09-27 05:15:55 +0000 UTCWay back in 2002, waiting a year between movies was torture! And I think waiting a month for your next reaction is gonna be even worse! Since you seemed to fall into the thirst trap, Legolas or Aragorn? Inquiring minds want to know.

2024-09-27 05:02:54 +0000 UTCSofie, since you seem to have enjoyed the music from the very beginning, I would strongly recommend you watch each movie credits through (they are like 20 mins long!) - there's always a song or 2 in end credits reflecting the story lyrically and even integrating Tolkien's language into them. LoTR soundtrack is kind of in a league of its own even till today, so I think you will find special pleasure in exploring it in all its mithril-standard glory! :)
