I wish the would regulary show it in cinemas around winter. Not these 730 Minute Binge sessions.

This trilogy is a rite of passage . Courage , bravery , and hope . Good believing they have the power to vanquish evil . . . Despite all odds .

That's because they had the best series of fantasy books ever written as a source, and a director that actively fought to maintain the original author's vision. Directors now take far too many creative liberties in film, and are more concerned with THEIR vision than what was originally intended, the humility and restraint shown in making the Trilogy is what makes it great.

Older TV shows are beating the hell out of modern shows as they come from a time when quality mattered so the same is likely true with movies, one thing for sure people are abandoning Disney and don't trust them anymore

It was Aragorn’s speech

There is. That's what makes this speech so good. They fully expect to die, but they'll die on their feet regardless.

BlessedWarrior my favorite comment, made me wanna play some total war

@@burnwankenobi803 Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it lol go play it man!!

Thank you knowledgeable one

Lotr lore goes so deep

@@explosves Because the placement and walls of the fortress are designed to protect the people inside it by breaking up and baffling the sound... the sound's effect is vastly reduced inside the deeping coomb because the echoes don't bounce into there effectively, and just to be safe they bring people into the keep before blowing the horn for extra protection from it. Not only that, but if you're paying attention, by the time of the charge the blowing had stopped.

@@explosves "continuously bombarding anyone in the valley with reverberating sound at what I'd guess is about 140-160 decibels for as long as the blower keeps blowing" and "Pay attention and you notice the Horn stopped sounding as Theoden and Aragorn entered the valley."

Sounds like someone should have been working round the clock horn duty.

Well we won’t get something like this again so cherish it!!

it doesnt even add up. is it even real

Even 20 years after release these films still hold up

I watch them once a year. Best movies ever done

I think pelenor fields is partly so meaningful because of this moment. In these moments we're watching theoden in the pit of despair. He's climbed out of depression, seemingly for nothing. His son is dead, and he can't even save his people. Then a fellow king talks him into one last fatalistic charge. And theoden decides that he would rather meet death with courage than fading away. And his courage is rewarded: his estranged nephew, something like his second son, who he had sent away in the darkness of his cravenness, returns to him. It shows him that there IS something to fight for, that his nephew and niece will carry on his legacy, that he can fight for the next generation. That even in the face of absolute annihilation, his courage and faith are meaningful. And then, at pelenor fields, he has his own courage. He doesn't need talking into anything. He leads at the front, proud and assured, and ready to meet whatever end faces him.

+MKECBS1 he was on time because he was late I bet the orc leaders were on the watch for reinforcements early. the surprise attack worked because they were unprepared

+LordDragul Smitty (iamLordDragul17) id put more money on him waiting until morning so that the sun was right behind them. otherwise you launch a downhill cavalry charge into prepared and braced pike phalanxes... and thats how you die.

Vlad the Impaler Holy shit I never thought of that. These men had no idea if anyone was still alive, that’s some pretty deep stuff

Holy shit this gave me goosebumps

Holy shit

suhail ahmed same. One hell of an observation.

I can fully imagine Eomer and his forces riding up to Helm's Deep as quickly as they can. As the sun rises, they begin wondering if they're too late, if the Hornburg has fallen and Theoden and all their people are now dead at the hands of the Uruk, wondering if its still worth it to press on. Then, as their pace slows, as they begin to fear the worst, giving into the despair that all they love is now gone, they hear a loud, earth shattering horn. A horn unmistakable to all true sons of Rohan. The Horn of Helmhammerhand sounds as loud as ever. With that, they realize that their King lives, that Rohan still stands, that the Hornbug is yet to be breached, and that hope still exists. With renewed purpose, they all rush forward as quickly as they can, riding harder than any of them has ridden. Then, as they reach the top of the hill and look down into the vast army of Uruks before them, they see him. King Theoden with his royal guard charging out to meet the enemy one last time. They see that all is not lost. That there is still hope. And so they charge down with fury and fervour. Charge down for their home, their families, their King.

I always took that line to be more dismissive. Like saying you'll ride to a glorious death but that's it.

i was rewatching and noticed something: you see theoden was hopeless and i dare say even aragons took that battle as defeated, and then, suddenly they have a change of heart, to go face the enemy, i believe it was because gandalf was close enough so his ring of power, Naya, rekindle their hope and lit their courage

@@GusJKlaus damn that's a thought

It was definitely more dismissive in it's delivery, like, "what's the point?" Which is why Aragorn said what he said and revived Theodens morale.

@@halfknight6706 Jesus, Aragorn is such a CHAD he always brings the best in the people around him

Yes, but that being said, he is not even using magic here. He simply arrives in time (at sunrise), precisely when he means to, as a wizard should.

@@markarato8034 it’s def magic

@@markarato8034 Well he is not using for the light, but definetly for morale boost... he with the ring of fire he basically is beacon of hope...

he is kinda using magic.he wields narya the ring of fire.

Thats by design. The Valar tried it the way of overwhelming power. Morgoth was defeated sure but it came at the cost of a ruin of an entire continent. His job is to inspire the races of middle earth to defeat Sauron themselves, not smite Sauron and his forces with divine power (though he is capable) Thats why I like how they handled Gandalf vs Balrog. One of the only displays of truly divine power and its used AFTER he has allowed the Fellowship to safely flee. At that point he is no longer holding back and trying to help them. Its just an Ainur grudge match for old times sake.

Helm Hammerhand is a guy.

Helm hammerhand was a badass

The whole speech is one of my favorite parts of the whole trilogy.

"Yessss!!" *runs off to sound the horn.*

Same, how can you not scream "Yessss" with Gimili after that

Aragorn is such a Chad, he encourages and brings the best out of the people around him and never takes their spotlight

Brings out the kingly attitude in Theoden. A Christlike response.

Theoden could probably make doing your taxes feel epic.

In LOTR Aragorn is 87 and Theoden is 71.

Theoden doesn't need any pep talks in the book, though.

How is it strange to realize?

u gayy dawg

Different from Eleves or Numenorians (the greatest race of men in the history of Middle Earth). This scene is deep when you consider that Theoden probably felt like all off humanity was doomed.

Theoden had been systematically reduced to a hopeless, depressed shell of himself. It wouldn't be realistic for him not to revert to that to some degree under stress at this point. But having found his courage once, he finds it again soon enough.

He didn't chastise or belittle he inspired

i agree

It's either him or Gandalf

and to think Aragon is still there carrying chairs and stuff to defend the people

I think it has more to do with the king of gondor and the king of rohan riding together to war

@@yongo1304 not really since Aragorn was still no king, and Aragorns claim to the throne is not as simple as they show in the movies.

@@TheLuisaco correct me if i’m wrong, but don’t the books emphasize Aragorn’s rightful place as the High King of Gondor and Arnor? Of course, in the books, there are more mythos and details regarding Aragorn’s claim to the throne, so I guess you could say he had “more to prove” in the books than was shown in the movies, but didn’t Aragorn’s healing abilities, humility, and servant-leadership-style solidify him as the true High King in the eyes of the people even more? Again, correct me if I’m wrong, I read the books over half a decade ago haha

@@kikihohohaha Yes, they do, but the complexity of Gondor line of succession is, in my opinion, a bit simplified in the main books compared with the rest of the lore they give you in appendices and other books. Just think Gondor citizens barely knew Aragorn until late War of the Ring and it would have not being the first time they would have rejected the rightful claim of the heir of Gondor like they did for example with Arvedui of Arnor. Its quite complex because if it would have been just a matter of having the right to claim the throne, there were many chieftain of the Dunedain before Aragorn who had the same right than him to rule Gondor, but no one came to claim it because, in my opinion, they knew how hard it was.

Those are too different. Even the nature of evil is different In Lotr, evil is power, brutality and tyranny, grand armies In Asoiaf, it's cold, winter, slow end of all life, natural forces The battles against each had to be different. I was let down by the battle of Winterfell, but they were right to make this more gritty and "down to the mud"

Exactly. The sun rising is a metaphore for hope as well not just announcing the coming of Gandalf

I think his transformation was complete at "We will meet them in battle nonetheless".

The glory of a honourable death

in the books however he was very determined. ‘The end will not be long,’ said the king. ‘But I will notend here, taken like an old badger in a trap. Snowmane andHasufel and the horses of my guard are in the inner court.When dawn comes, I will bid men sound Helm’s horn, andI will ride forth. Will you ride with me then, son of Arathorn?Maybe we shall cleave a road, or make such an end as willbe worth a song - if any be left to sing of us hereafter.’‘I will ride with you,’ said Aragorn. he has a transformation from weak to strong and kingly after Grima is casted out. I think both scenarios are interesting, what was done with the character in the movies describes the character of Theoden consistently. I encourage you to read the chapter of the helms deep if not the entire trilogy, that chapter is exhilarating

Wait, Théoden died in The Pelennor Battle, right? Don't mind if I'm wrong, I don't have the best memory

@@Ext_R2 yes, but that battle is after the Helm's deep battle

@@widexawake_ That is one of the reasons he is my favorite of the series. The character development was incredible and Bernard absolutely nailed every aspect from the broken down, possessed Theoden to the heroic Theoden who lead the Battle of Pelinor Fields even at the cost of his own life.

@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- *CHARGES INTO CERTAIN DEATH*

Great lesson for life in general, not only war. Life will try to break you- even if you are dommed to fail- try to break it in return. At the very least, you will feel satisfaction of trying, of giving your foe fewnew scars, rather than cowering in the corner, waiting for the sword to swing down...

men were REAL men in the days gone by....i know LOTR is a fiction but the spirit and courage are very REAL and reminicent of REAL battle. sadly we live in a world controlled by a few and the power they have amassed through technology/weaponry prevents any kind of revolutionary war like the ones of the past! i fear the future for this reason...

@@gerbear3227 That's because Tolkien was an officer in World War 1, and was fresh from the trenches of Verdun, I believe, when he began writing LOTR. The Dead Marshes were inspired by a real battlefield he was at, where the rain had flooded the field after a major offensive and all the corpses were just under the surface of the water.

Oh yeah...I have people lol

What? Thats all Theoden is thinking about, the whole reason hes distressed is because hes got to defend his people and in this moment he seems to be failing.

I have those? I have a lot of those!

I always thought Theoden was being incredulous to Aragorn's motive. Like "Why? So it can be said we met a noble end?"

Horses are treated with a tremendous amount of respect in Rohan.

+Carlys Is it even physically possible for real-life horses to run down an incline like that?

+William Manning it is not, if I'm not mistaken in the books they say a Valar (not sure wich) helps the rohirrim riders by making the horses "float" just above the ground

+xBucefallusx Don't each of the Maiar "work for" specific Valar? And according to Wikipedia, Gandalf's is Manwe, the lord of "air, wind, and clouds", so that would fit.

In the book it was Erkenbrand with Gandalf

I saw this when I was I think 13...I agree the best scene I have ever seen in a movie bar none!

fuck bro don’t forget when Frodo threw Gollum down that abyss. the whole theatre started clapping when that happened. i was only a kid when i saw them in theaters but they were so memorable they all stuck with me until now (24 years old). listen to this, just before the battle of Helms Deep kicked off, the bloody film broke!!! we had to go back and watch it the next day (free of charge of course).

@@Dustyholes yup, that and the mass audience roar when Sam stepped into the frame while Shelob was wrapping Frodo up! We were damn lucky to see these films in the theaters when first released, weren't we?

@@Purplesquirrel31 For real! What I would give to experience these movies when they were released in theaters

I remember watching this with my dad aunt uncle Mom basically all the adults I knew were Into it and went. Sadly I don’t remember much tho of my theatrical viewing on Two towers tho. I do remember being scared by the swamp scene and that the theater was so packed people were sitting in and on the stairs for the whole three hour movie. I was 6 at the time. Can’t imagine if I was mid 20s like you were in your awesome story and like I am now, that would’ve been so cool!

CeruleanFilms I remember how I'd get scared everytime I'd see an Orc or an Uruk-hai. And that was 13 years ago...

I feel you brother

This comment nailed it. It was so much better than anything that preceded it.......and pretty much everything after. Definitely a movie made for a big screen.

Actully i only had the pleasure of watching Return of the King in a cinema and i was very young. It'll be pleasure to hear you share in specifics what the energy and reactions in the theater were when you watched the first two and third movies!

@@SkPuzzle Oh man, up to this point of the film there was so much tension in the theaters. Total silence. Peter Jackson built up the emotion so well. I was only 11 or 12 and I was there with my grandpa and my cousin. I had never read the books. I'd seen the first film and saw Boromir die, so I figured any character was fair game. It appeared as though Theoden and the fellowship heroes were about to meet their end with this film..That the battle was certainly lost. I was blown away when the rohirrim and gandalf appeared. Honestly I'd forgotten about them, and the quiet theater was suddenly cheering. You could just FEEL the relief wash over the audience. Intertwined brilliantly with scenes of the ents DESTROYING Sarumon's orc workshop. Up until that point everything seemed so hopeless! Honestly indescribable experience. Afterwards, my cousin and I gushed about the film and he told me he was so happy when the ent who caught on fire doused his head in the rivers, hahaha. Just a little gem appreciated by a kid. Anyway, I know this experience was a little personal but thanks for letting me share.

Tremendously badass, we were gushing like crazy afterwards. As awesome as modern home theater setups can be there is something special about being in a movie theater.

I was on the first run of the first day. I had to wait more than 2 hours in line but it was awesome! Me and my friends from high school skipped school for this! I was 17 at that time. I will not deny that I was moved by the charge led by Gandalf and Eomer. It was beautiful and I truly had to hold my tears of joy to avoid being called a fanboy nerd or whatever. It was worth it!

I saw this movie twice in the cinema and it was the only time i've ever seen a movie twice in the cinema at that and i'm 24. Might break that record with the Guardians of the Galaxy though ;)

My mouth was dropped through this entire battle and i was literally shivering from so much excitement ... Really an amazing cinema experience

Yes, man, i was there, and i can tell to you like a veteran, like a survivor, i was there twice, and the first time was an amazing cinema experience, everything was stressing my body and my mind, and during the helm's battle (the owner of the big movie theatre was my friend) i ran away from the theatre and i went to the little bar just beside the cash screaming: "fucking shit! it's a hell inside! please, give to me coke, chocolade and pop corn, or i won't survive! quick!".

+Patrick Bateman Bateman as always.

+Patrick Bateman FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS ASWELL

+Patrick Bateman I will deliver a video tape.

Plus, GoT was so cynical and nihilistic, there was no heroism in the characters, and no ideal to fight for. Everyone was just a backstabber and a political opportunist. There was a point when I didn't even care if the Night King wiped them all out. But LotR was a heroic story with an ideal worth dying for.

I love A Song of Ice and Fire, I maintain that I doubt many of the scenarios that D&D put forth in the show are going to come pass no matter what they say (how does Stannis burn his daughter from hundreds of miles away? In a snowstorm?) and some they've all but admitted won't happen (like them saying they had Arya kill the Night King instead of Dany or Jon, the characters that would actually make sense, because it was reportedly 'cooler' that way (We're not idiots. Who ever kills the Night King in the books is Azor Ahai, they choose Arya to randomly do it because it let's them conveniently dodge the question for the show, not alienating the fans of the other character and have there be no Prince That Was Promised.)) Game of Thrones didn't have the soul Lord of the Rings had, A Song of Ice and Fire doesn't have the soul that Lord of the Rings had. Every part of Lord of the Rings, which equally condemns war as a horrible thing as it exalts those who enter that war knowing that, came from the heart and soul of Tolkien. From a man who saw the horrors of World War I on the most personal experience at the Somme, the bloodiest battle of the war where at least one of his University friends died, and saw two of his sons go off into the Second War. At the risk of armchair psychoanalyzing a man that was frankly a greater person than I will ever be, I think in some ways, Lord of the Rings was his equivalent to All Quiet on the Western Front. It let him, in some way, talk about the horror he witnessed, about the equal parts pride and fear that any parent would feel seeing their kids enter a war. Especially a war that was the follow-up to what had been called the War to End All Wars. George RR Martin is a good writer, hell, he's a great writer and if you were disappointed with GoT, I'd suggest reading aSoIaF... but I think it says something that George was a contientous objector (not that there's anything wrong with that. He has made it clear on numerous occasions that despite his books being grim, he's still very anti-war and maintains that he believes the Vietnam war was a terrible mistake, and there is an equal amount of bravery in standing up and saying that you don't support something). And we can never say that he wouldn't have come out of Vietnam and still written aSoIaF, but Lord of the Rings is undeniably a happier story than A Song of Ice and Fire, and I think a lot of that has to do with the hell Tolkien went through in his youth. He wanted to tell an old type of story, a story like Beowulf or Le Mort De Arthur. And I think that's the best reason claiming that they would top Helm's Deep was a bad idea. Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones are both fantasy yes, but Fantasy is still a broad, BROAD topic. What works in one fantasy story doesn't work in another. We go into Lord of the Rings, and while they might fake us out here and there, we don't expect death around every turn. Game of Thrones forged itself on a mountain of death, it told us no character was safe, that they could and would die at the drop of a hat. And in a genre that had grown stagnant in attempts to clone LotR, of course that got people's attention. But then they changed the rules, suddenly the only casualties in the biggest, hardest fought battle are the BBEG, a suicide after the fact and a little girl? We feel cheated, because what we were told wasn't true, every character suddenly had plot armor.

@@thatonepsycho5157 nothing truer has ever been said in comparing these two fantasy stories. There's nothing to add and nothing else to comment on.

Fully agreed. It's like Theodens flame rekindled after Aragorn said to ride out and meet them. One last purpose, and not going quietely into the night.

And the yet one more change in his demeanor when Aragorn responds "For Rohan. For your people" - the full weight of kingship falls on him again, but this time he has the strength to carry it.

It is astounding acting.

This is one of the best thing I have read about LotR.

One correction Forth Eorlinga's... As the descendents of eorl and gis followers. Eorl was the horse lord that faught and took the land of rohan from Gondor whon the stewards of gondor recognized as kings. The white horse rode by Gandalf, shadowfax is a direct descendant of the horse ridden by Eorl. One that could speak the Numenorean tongue.
