Its a good addition to the Helm's Deep part but does not happen in the books

Well they were correct since they are sadly watching the theatrical cuts and as such are missing a lot of context. Haldir is insignificant without the extended editions. But like another xomment said, the "real" Haldir in the books is never said to have died during the war, since the elves never went to HD, because Lorien, Mirkwood, Beorn's people, Erebor and Dale where all busy fighting Mordor and Dol Guldur invading the lands seen in The Hobbit, because the War of The Ring was not limited to south and south-east Middle-Earth.

No one ever cries over Haldir death scene, and there is a good reason why.

The elves and dwarves were both fighting orcs on different fronts but they have no way to convey that in the movie without shoehorning it in their so the elves showing up to help is a nice cinematic way of representing that.

“You stink of horse…”

@@chaidie7056What a good dude, very cool thing of him to do

When Uraeus, the horse that played Brego died at 28, Viggo Mortensen - who bought his after filming - posted: “Aged 28, but a timeless presence in the minds of those who had the honour of knowing this proud, handsome, and supremely intelligent being, mighty Uraeus has finally come to rest on the physical plane. Thank you, Jane and Ray, for helping him do so with dignity. Dearest friend and teacher, I hold you and keep you.”

Not the whole town. The big hall and some houses and part of the wall. All other buildings where digitally added.

Not to mention that the Golden Hall was actually used as an administration office because it was the only solidly built place free from the wind in the area for the second unit.

Just the exteriors were made. All the interiors were shot on sound stages.

They went so far to not harm the horses, the nature, etc that the tree that the orcs take down in Isengard when they start building the army is fake. Unlike rings of power, where one of the horses died. Good thing it’s just fanfic written by modern writers, that means we miss nothing by not watching it :)

They removed moss from the rocks, then re-placed it afterwards, since it is a protected area.

Not watching the extended is almost criminal

The theatricals are fine for first-time viewers, some of the extended scenes really should've been left on the cutting board. The scene with Faramir and Boromir should've been left, and the seen in RotK with Saruman should've been left in, but a lot of others are just fluff that nerds will like and normal people will just wonder why it's there.

@@emPtysp4ce Why do you think that? It makes zero sense. Why introduce someone new to these glorious films and then not show them the best version of the films?

There was just so much preparation for months and years before filming that production companies don't allow for anymore because they figure they can release 3 or 4 movies in the time it takes to make one of these and they will make more money combined first weekend so it doesn't matter. It took 8 years total for the three films to be produced.

Toes 😅

The Noldor looked down on the other Elves but Haldir might have been Nandor or Silvan and most of his archers would have been Silvan like the subjects of Legolas father.

Not sure about that. The elves of rivendell and lothlorien are noldorin, while the elves of mirkwood are sindarion, who the noldor consider to be lower class, to put it mildly. The noldor definitely consider the sindar to be the hillbillies of the elven world.

@@tileux Elrond and Galadriel are Noldor, that does not mean all their subjects are,

Always loved that scene 😍

​@@tileuxthere were few Noldor in Lothlórien because Galadriel and Celeborn were leading mostly Sindar Elves and in Lothlórien there were Sindar and Silvan elves when they become the rulers. Also, not all Noldor thought less of Sindar. In fact they were few and mostly from Fëanor's people

Well, technically, only the line of Beren and Lúthien receive this privilege, since Lúthien gave up her immortality for Beren (Aragorn in the first movie: "She died.") This was a special divine dispensation-it also involved restoring Beren's life, for a time. It is hinted that there were other mortal lines with an 'elvish strain', notably Imrahil of Dol Amroth, that are nevertheless considered human.

He’s not half elf. His father is. And half VANYAR at that. And father is the greatest to ever live. At a time when most men were seen as equals to the elves by the elves themselves.

@@majkusYes! Let’s dive into Elrond & his daughter Arwen (& Aragorn by extension) therefore we must look at Elrond’s Twin Brother Elros, they both were half-elven brothers who can choose to be mortal or immortal because of their parents; (Eärendil & Elwing), both “half elven” made a great sacrifice and went to Valinor to ask for help against Morgoth(who was making everything worse than a living hellscape for 100s of generations) which lead to the greatest events in the early first and second age. Instead of being punished, the valar listened to them, that led to a great hosts of Valar and Maiar And Vanyar Elves went to Middle Earth that laid waste to Beleriand. After the War Of Wrath, the valar rewarded them for their sacrifices. They can choose to be elf or men, including their children. They chose immortally, but never return to Middle Earth because they thought that their twin sons had died. But they didnt die. Elrond chose to be immortal while his twin brother Elros chose to be mortal. He founded the Kingdom of Numenor. ✨✨✨✨✨ He lived in Numenor Island and blessed with a long life that include his descendants Those men who fought for the war were rewarded a long life but not their families or children. Only the family of Elrond can choose to be immortal or mortal in which Arwen did. Aragorn is the direct descendant of Elros, thats why he has a long life. The average lifespan of a Numenorean at their height was 500 years maximum! Now remember too that half elves are a common thing and whenever they did come together it was always significant !❤❤❤ Remember this is the SHORT version, there are so many moving parts that will make you want to dive into the books or the audio books or even do reaction videos to the famous lore videos by the biggest lore channels out there! When you’re done the trilogy try doing reaction videos just like Moviejoob did now with the lore recently as well as OmarioRPG. I recommend videos by GirlNextGondor and The Red Book, and Tolkien Untangled and especially Men Of The West. ✨✨✨✨✨ Many other cool ones I’ll recommend in the comments section of those reaction videos you do from Tolkiens Legendarium lore videos. They are super engaging. You’ll be in love. Nothing would have existed if Tolkiens works never hit the light of day as they were meant to stay private and sometimes be shared with his children and so on. No Game Of Thrones. No Skyrim. No ElderScrolls, No World Of Warcraft, no Dungeons&Dragons. None of it. Not even Star Wars. Not even Harry Potter! They took inspiration from his works which were souly to give back a forgotten history of the Anglo Saxons that had their culture & history destroyed as the larger empires were riding around them. His works reflect the Elder Edda(Norse) The Kalevala(Finnish) and the Welsh people from Wales as well as Irelands cultures of the Tuatha De Danaan as well! His languages are fully fleshed out too resembling Finnish & Welsh • By the way Elrond is around 6870-8000 years old & nearly a full Elf year (as they age very very differently to Men) is close to 144 man years(solar years for them). ❤️❤️❤️❤️ But if you want a more true age you must realize that he may be 8000 but in human years after the sun and moon were created from the flower from of the two trees of Valinor as well as one fruit from the other of the two trees; they experience the TIME and the way men experience it but their clock is different! They live as long as the world/Arda/Ëa does. Essentially. Which is why they are so in synch with the world around them and the nature responds to them ! Think of when Legolas walked ontop of all that snow on the Mountain of Caradhras!! They continue to endure as long ad the world itself does. (Arda) and speaking of age, Legolas is also 3000+years old by the time he becomes a member of The Fellowship Of The Ring! If you look back on the original trilogy movies: The fellowship had a 3000year old Elven PRINCE in their party. And a clandestine angelic being who was Gandalf originally known Olòrin to those such as Galadriel who knew him when she lived in Valinor, Elrond also knew would be one of the only others who’d know this save Círdan The Shipwright(one of the surviving eldest Elf in the world.). ❤️❤️❤️❤️ But even he was a few generations down from the original elvish peoples to awake to the stars) & kin to Thingol who also is a semi distant cousin to Legolas as Legolas’ grandfather was the close cousin to Thingol(same with Galadriel’s Husband Celeborn through his father, their capital within Lothlòrien was named after his father(Caras Galadhon) Galadhon being the name indicating that which belongs to the father. And a 87 year old Númenorean man named Aragorn!, a 335 year old Dwarven Prince named Gimli. And as a microcosm they resembled the coalition of all the races of middle earth uniting under one banner which is another reason it sort of metaphysically set into motion the world uniting at the macrocosm ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Galadriel's Phial (gift to Frodo) is something really special. light & dark have a spiritual dimension in Tolkien. way back before the First Age Valinor was lit by two very special Trees that waxed & waned in opposition to each other. a master craftsman Elf named Fëanor fashioned three gems that captured their light, the Silmarils. (And it’s same power and light was drawn into it from the very firmament where it now stands amongst the stars as Eärendil himself (Elrond’s father stands watch over The Doors Of Night where Melkor still is held until fate holds him no longer.) Everyone who saw them was captivated by them, even the Melkor(Morgoth); the first Dark Lord. Wars were fought over them called the Kinstrife after Morgoth had the Trees destroyed the Silmarils were the only light from them left and he stole them as you may remember, they changed hands a few times & eventually one was left after one fell into the sea & another was lost in a pit of magma. a Half Elf named Eärendil (the first one! Who was Elrond’s father.) came into its possession & sailed it to Valinor as a gift to the Valar to ask for their help in defeating Morgoth, which they did. the Valar turned it into a star & hung it in the sky with Eärendil as its guardian. 💕💕💕💕 The fountain of Galadriel's Mirror is lit by light captured from the star Eärendil & her Phial has water from the fount. I've left out about 90% of the story but it's quite important & central to the story of Middle Earth. for her to give the Phial to Frodo is quite extraordinary. its light does burn & blind Shelob (that's the spider's name) but doesn't kill her outright. oh also, before he was put in the sky to guard the last Silmaril Earendil had two children, Elrond & his brother Elros the first King of Numenor. Tolkien's lore is deep & vast & the Silmarils are at the center of it. 💕💕💕💕 The Star of Eärendil is the light that shines in the horizon both in the morning and the evening. It consists in a boat raised by the Valar and led by Eärendil, who carries a shining Silmaril while watching the Doors of Night. The Door of Night was a portal in the distant Uttermost West that leads to heaven, and/or the Void. Eärendil's ship Vingilot was taken by the Valar from the rim of the world, passed through the Door and was lifted into the "oceans of heaven". PS: Eärendil is ELROND’s half Vanyar Elf half human father, that father was the son of the great Tuor of the great stories of The Children Of Húrin book!❤❤❤❤ Aragorn is a CLOSE descendant of a direct bloodline to Elros(Elrond’s Twin Brother) The title of half elven (Peredhel) was due to the combined history of Beren&Lúthien, his mother Elwing was the granddaughter of Lùthien! Eärendil was the husband of Elwing. The true half elf; son of the best elvish women ever who rescued hundreds from the highest of elvish kingdoms(Gondolin); her name is Idril & one of the best most powerful men around named Tuor. Who later on when they went to Valinor together through their own way lead to him choosing to be counted as One Of The Eldar for Idril. Eärendil did the same for Elwing. ❤

Galadriel also backs him up on that last point (in reference to the mirror). “Even the wisest cannot tell.” That realization of there always being more at play than can truly be reckoned by any (possibly including even Eru in some circumstances) is great wisdom in itself.

Peter Jackson wanted people to see the extended (uncut) versions in the theatres, but Harvey Weinstein stopped him. In fact, Harvey wanted just ONE movie in the threatres, not a trilogy. 5 years of court proceedings - and the 'harvey weinstein orc" in return of the king (made at Jackson's specific direction) was the result. Too many people don’t realize they are arguing in favour of a version of this movies that was only shown in theatres because of legal reasons - not for artistic reasons. - Peter Jackson’s passion project team was forced to not show their full content as it would cut into what the cinema CEOs literally called the theatrical edition to get more screen time in and more mulla for themselves. It’s a such a nasty business. 80 percent true that money be the root of all evil. It’s the reason the real pumped out the EE as fast as possible in DVD format before the second and third film hit theatres to get back at Harvey Weinstein, again, they wanted people to see the whole movie which invites feelings of completion in one’s heart. But he just announced that’s he found 1300 hours worth of footage from a warehouse he finally got access to so we will see more specially made super extended edition cinema extravaganzas that no cinema would pass on the opportunity to ride on his coattails again. The EE wasn’t just for fans. He literally was adapting the books to film as honestly as possible. the DVD documentaries showed that they didn’t want to cut anything. And weaselled around things to create the EE. (EE is extended edition by the way! ❤️). Without the extended for the next two films I always say “Good luck missing the Boromir backstory. Good luck explaining why the cloak turns into a rock. Good luck explaining the elves that had explained their current situation since the first film. It all ties together good luck skipping the gift scene with Galadriel and Celeborn and the extra scenes between Aragorn and Celeborn & Galadriel to Aragorn!” It’s seriously needed for the film worldbuilding and heightening the stakes. Also, I’d rather have faith people have the emotional and intellectual IQ high enoug to understand it or shall we have changed the title to something else same as how JK was forced to change the title in America to sorcerers stone instead of PHILOSPHER as Americans don’t even know what a Philospher is anymore these days which is sad. Relating to that: Tolkien was very sad about people losing connection to their past and heritage etc!

The extended edition adds so much more to Boromir's character! You get such a better sense of the type of person that he was, and why his people loved him, and it adds to his tragic death in the first movie. Definitely part of the reason why I always recommend the extended editions to people who haven't seen it yet.

@@ThatBlackPiano Kids these days. Man I'm old

She gets in my nerves with the juicy thing. I'm enjoying the reactions but it's like listening to teens who only know two words to describe anything

I agree, but I see why they did it. Everyone so far has been tempted by the ring and when it's this condensed it would be very jarring if someone suddenly wasn't even tempted. It's sort of required for narrative consistency, they do that to every character who gets a reason to be tempted.

The ents also were made to look dumber and hastier than they were in the books. They never hesitatedto go to war after the ent-moot.

I agree. Peter Jackson probably wanted to highlight Aragorn as honorable, virtuous and strong, and that Faramir being tempted by the Ring was to reinforce the fact that all men are easily corrupted by it. I just don't think that portraying Faramir correctly would've taken away from Aragorn too much.

They also changed Aragon as well, I like movie Aragon more than book. In the book he had little conflict with his heritage and wanted the throne. Movie Aragon has a better character arc to accept who he is and his destiny. It made his journey more rewarding to me.

This is the same write-by-the-manual reasoning that was applied to Aragorn. Characters are required to have 'character arcs' and so Aragorn must begin as the Reluctant King and claim his kingship (and sword) much later in the story. Similarly, Faramir has to start by taking Frodo to his father, and only reach the point of rejecting the Ring later, after an added (and, from a plot standpoint, pointless) excursion to Osgiliath ("By rights, we shouldn't even be here" may be an acknowledgment that this was a Jackson invention). I suppose I can understand why Jackson felt there had to be a story beat here, but book-Faramir has a sort of signature line, spoken twice, "I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway." Jackson could have redeemed his treatment of Faramir a bit by giving him this book line at the end. Oddly (weak spoilers), Jackson later slanders Denethor, who is already one of the book's more complex characters, one whose motivations are subtle, by reducing him to a one-note nuisance.

The bond between he and his son is the same bond Thranduil has with Legolas. And the braid he wears is to honour his grandfather. I believe after his death braids became less common.

Of Beren And Lùthien comes to mind and Children Of Hurin!! You’ll fall in love even more after the third movie. Then you can enter into the lore videos like Moviejoob and OmarioRPG have done reaction videos too. Amazing stuff. One thing to add though is this scene resembles a lot from the other battle Tolkien was involved in called The Battle Of Somme. Look into it and tell me your thoughts. I’ll add something here though: that clan of elves really didn’t like being under the command of anyone else so they went ahead without the order and let’s just say it didn’t end well. That and they weren’t fond of the Ñoldor… huge history there as to why that is. That and the Sindar subgroup of these clans were a tiny bit more isolationist. But there are many amazing Sindar in the legendarium too Elrond and his two sons and daughter are connected to all of the main clans of men and elves through the union of his half elf father and full elf(quarter goddess) mother. Who essentially played a huge role in saving the world from the original dark lord Morgoth. Gained the Favour Of Valinor. Which subsequently lead to Numenor being a gift from the sea to the men who helped. Becoming blessed. Their land existing within the light of Valinor as it was situated closely to The Undying Lands. (The same ancestry Aragorn has that Èowyn spoke of while they were travelling to Helm’s Deep! (Elrond’s Twin Brother became the first king of Númenor. His name becoming Tar-Minyatur, and those faithful to Eru, the elves and the natural world all of this line carried Tar before their name! Ar for Aragorn is the word meaning Noble in his tongue called Adúnaic. That too is a fleshed out language Tolkien created too.
