One cool bit of trivia: the stunt woman who rode the white horse in place of Liv Tyler/Arwen when she was being chased by the dark riders fell in love with the horse but couldn't afford to buy it when the animals used in the film were being auctioned after it was finished, so Viggo Mortensen/Aragorn bought the horse for her as a gift.

My favorite thing about Boromir in this movie is that even though he seems a little sinister around the ring. He always is looking after Merry and Pippin. He trains them, he looks after them on the mountain. Jumps with them on the stairs in Moria. And when hes dying, the first thing he says is "they took the little ones." Really shows that hes a hero inside and wants to protect the weak

@sertaki 2 жыл бұрын

And with the flashback scenes in the extended editions, it's pretty clear that Boromir was in fact a great man and a hopeful and brave warrior. But he had some arrogance about him, and he was ultimately driven by a desire to save his homeland - and these things, the ring was able to ruthlessly exploit and drive him to do things he would have never done by himself. If the Fellowship had remained as one for much longer, I fear that most likely, even the more steadfast Aragorn would have ultimately fallen under its influence. The resolve of anybody would be weathered away like cliffs by water, with enough time. Frodo was probably the person best suited for this task thanks to his inherent desire for peace and lack of great ambitions (and Hobbits are naturally resistant to the influence) - but even he fell under its shadow in the end. TL;DR: Boromir was not a bad guy, he just failed to stand up against the darkness and evil of the ring.

Ok so Hobbit ages! For frame of reference, hobbits come of age at 33, and their average lifespan is about 100 years. The oldest known Hobbit up to this point died at 133. So 111 isn't unheard of. What makes his case strange is that he barely aged since he got the ring, which was about 60 years ago. The hobbits like to joke that he is "well preserved." As for these four being kids... bear in mind that 33 is the age of adulthood for hobbits. Frodo is 50 when he leaves the shire. Sam is 38. Merry is 36, and Pippin is the baby at 29. So he's basically a teenager. The rest are young adults. Fun fact, though! In the books, there are 17 years between Bilbo's 111th birthday and when Frodo leaves the shire. That didn't happen in the movie because it would have absolutely wrecked the pacing. But Bilbo and Frodo have the same birthday (September 22nd), and Bilbo chose his 111th birthday to disappear because it was also Frodo's 33rd birthday, meaning that he was old enough to inherit Bag End. Otherwise, the Sackville-Bagginses would have tried to claim his property. Again. Sorry for the wall of text. I'm a HUGE nerd, and these books were my childhood.

But also, when I was growing up, my dad was blind, but he LOVED books. He would always sit in his chair and listen to "books on tape." That Was audiobook technology back then: Dad would order "books" from The Library For the Blind, and they'd send him boxes of cassette tapes with recordings of narrators reading books aloud. And each book was X number of tapes. When he was done, he'd mail them back and they'd send him a new one. Now, you just open up Amazon and just download an audiobook whenever. And whenever my family went on long car rides, we would listen to audiobooks instead of music (not that we didn't like music. We all love music too, but more than half an hour in the car and we'd start to bicker over it). And "The Hobbit," and "The Lord of the Rings" were our favorites. In still listen to audiobooks on my commute to and from work.

@@justtrustash in The Hobbit, I loved to imagine myself as Bilbo, coming up with clever solutions to problems, being brave enough to go on an adventure and find courage even when you're scared. And loyalty and compassion. Those are powerful lessons I took from that book when I was a kid. As for Lord of the Rings... there is a character who I saw myself in. But she doesn't get introduced until The Two Towers. I don't want to give anything away, but keep an eye out for Eowyn. She definitely taught me some things when I was a kid. I will talk more on that when you get to the second and third movies if you'd like. Here's another little bit of book backstory for you though. The Hobbit was written by Tolkien to be a bedtime story for his kids. So the writing style is very different. It's very whimsical, and the characters solve problems differently. He also addresses the reader directly pretty frequently, like you would when you are trying to keep a kid engaged. Lord of the Rings was written afterward for a more adult audience.

@aflyonthewall8177 3 жыл бұрын

@@justtrustash I loved that you two picked up on how the Ring can adjust its size. Not a lot of people notice that. The Ring exhibits a malevolent but limited form of sentience and it is very powerful. It can dominate the will of other beings (its least accessible power), make a mortal wielder invisible unless someone could perceive the non-physical world, augment the abilities of whoever has it and extend their lifespan or give them extra abilities like great hearing or vision. It could project a false appearance of the wielder to others, like make an innocent Hobbit look scary. However not everyone has access to these abilities. Only Sauron or someone with equal power and experience could use it to it's full potential and since it contains Sauron's power, other beings would be corrupted. That is the power the movie shows us the most and you will see it later in the movies as well, how Frodo's demeanour changes the more time he spends with the Ring around his neck.

Fun fact: They built, created, wrote, and shot all three films at the same time, all the way through 2003. The project started around 1995 (when I was born, no less). 8 years for 3 films. Full material lasts over 100 hours, which Peter himself cut down, with his editors, etc., to around 11.5 hours, then the 'short' version of the three films was around 7.5 hours. Indeed, it was so complex and long-lasting, that they ended up with 3 or 4 shooting crews for films 2 and 3, at the same time (Peter being team 1, then team 2, then team 3). Andy himself (the actor of Gollum) would sometimes direct some fight scenes, etc. by 2002 or so, for film 3. Peter pretty much slept for 3-5 hours a day for 5 years to create these films. He wrote, directed, crafted, sometimes even acted, along with working on design, tech, and otherwise. He also did that barefoot since he doesn't wear shoes, and would always have a cup of tea in his hand -- English-style (indeed, his grandparents came from Wales, if I can recall). He would never spill his tea, despite running up and down hills, on and off choppers, and up and down stairs. That man is a genius, along with the other 10+ key figures on these films.

When you comment that the effects look better than a lot of today's CGI. it's worth noting that a lot of shots that would be done purely with CGI today were actually done with very large scale models(places like Minas Tirith, Isengard etc), that were nicknamed "bigatures". For me one of the most successful pieces of design was the Nazgul, they were BLOODY TERRIFYING in these movies! Their costume design is so simple, but so effective. And the actors they got to wear the suits did a great job bringing them to life.

When the hobbits cross the river on Bucklebury Ferry, the Nazgul don't go in the river because it's too deep.

Tolkien started writing his first drafts of what would later become his 'legendarium' around the year 1917 (the first drafts of the Fall of Gondolin, and tale of Turambar seem to date from those years), the first book he published was The Hobbit in 1937 and Lotr was it's sequel. And funnily it is said that Tolkien actually read some of the Conan stories by Howard, there is a reference to it, though I don't know how much truth was to it (at the very least he received copies of tales with 'Shadows in the Moonlight' in it).

The One Ring gives it's wearer power according to their nature. Hobbits aren't powerful, so all it really does for them is make them "invisible". If Saruman or Elrond had the ring, it would make them very powerful.

@simeonteitelbaum3673 3 жыл бұрын

The ring has power which may well be limitless in potentiality but is hidden just like the markings and can only be accessed depending on the power and ambition of the user. But the will and nature of Sauron is in the ring and anything anyone would do would ultimately achieve manifest the spirit of the Dark Lord. The invisibility is more the ring's signature than a power; it signifies that the personality of the wearer will be nullified by the the ring and will eventually disappear. Its like a sick joke. Notice how Sauron wears the ring and remains visible

Main power and purpose of the Ring is to dominate minds and wills of other creatures, it was what it was designed for, naturally that control and domination was not limited only to controlling all other rings of power and their wearers but others as well (we can call it officially 'power of Command' as this is a term once used in book), then it enhances all powers and abilities boosting strength of the wearer (so Sauron wearing the One Ring is stronger than ever before) and all others who would manage to fully use the capabilities of the Ring would be enhanced as well depending on their original 'power level' so to speak, invisibility is part of the powers contained within, though it's more a power involved with drawing person into the Unseen, the wraith-world, the second layer of reality, it's a power derived from Sauron who is in origina an immortal spirit (so naturally he would have powers like that), invisibility may be simply connected to the spiritual realm of rendering physical body invisible by drawing half into that realm, that is why the world changes when the wearer of the Ring is invisible, into that misty world. Other powers of the Ring, like understanding and insight, understanding of tongues may be directly related to mental powers of Sauron, in the end the One Ring contains larger part of Sauron's innate strength.

Hobbits become adults on their 33rd birthday. Frodo in the book was 51, I believe. In the movie, Elijah Wood was 19, so he would be considered a child in hobbit years. As I think a hobbits teenage years begin in their twenties. Sam and Frodo had a respectful relationship between Master and gardener and a much more significant age difference in the book. (Sam is 39 in the books) Still, I preferred the movies Sam and Frodo relationship as it established a loyal friendship that is always heartwarming no matter how much I watch it. The real child in the story is Pippin (he's 29).

@evenmoor 3 жыл бұрын

Pippin was 29 during the events of the story, the easily youngest of the Fellowship (but, hilariously, played by the oldest actor of the four playing hobbits!). Merry was 37, Sam was 39, and Frodo was 51 (but had not aged at all in the 17 years since he'd received the Ring from Bilbo). Boromir is 40, Aragorn/Strider is 87, Gimli is 140, Legolas is 2931, and Gandalf is older than the planet. Another fun fact: Frodo, Merry, and Pippin are all related to each other! You might recall Pippin's chatter in the common room of the inn in Bree, where he said how Frodo was related to him on both sides of the family. Merry and Pippin are first cousins, too: Pippin's paternal aunt is Merry's mother.

18:00 - In the book, Frodo was 33 years old when the ring came into his possession. He had the ring for a further 17 years before Gandalf returned to the Shire. So Frodo was actually in his 50's by the time he set off from the Shire. Just as with Bilbo, the ring delayed the ageing process for Frodo so he still looked like a young man.

@@Rackhark Long story short, he suspected the ring long before Frodo got it...he'd been contemplating the ring for ~70 years (Bilbo held it for 60), and he'd seen Bilbo's change in behavior, as well as his lack of aging. He wasn't gone for the entire 17 years though, he came back occasionally over the first 8 years, but then stopped for 9. The gaps were, in part, because he needed to track down Ilsidur's notes on the Ring (which weren't easy to get ahold of) but also because he wanted to see the effects the ring had on Frodo. The 9 year gap, was, in part, to verify the anti-aging. Another reason for the inaction was, what was he gonna do, take it? And then what? Easily succumb to it's poison and cover the world in darkness? To give you an idea, Gandalf and Sauron are the same race of 'angelic' type being called Maiar. They serve the 'Gods' of Tolkien's Universe (Valar), Sauron just happened to serve Morgoth (Sauron's only a Lieutenant lol), the big baddie in Tolkien's Universe.

for the Wizard's Duel: The Wizards are a few thousand years old in their physical form. They are actually divine spirits called Maia (Maiar is the plural). They were sent to Middle-Earth to aid the Free People (Dwarves, Hobbits, Men and Elves) in the fight against Sauron. They are limited in their power (compared to their original divine power) and cannot fight Sauron head on, matching him power for power. Saruman, however, is bad. He turned evil some odd years ago for a few reasons. 1 of them being jealous of Gandalf. Another is his desire for power. The wizard's staves (Staff) is not what holds their power but it acts like a conduit, allowing them to really focus their power for a spell and be more accurate while in their physical form.

You guys are adorable XD And yeah, you're right, Frodo doesn't get tempted by the Ring has to do with all the stuff Bilbo narrated at the beginning about hobbits - how their greatest loves are food, drink and green things. Most men, elves, dwarves or wizards would take weeks or months to become completely corrupted by the Ring - probably less if they were using it regularly like Bilbo was. It took Bilbo DECADES of use to reach the point where he got a little cranky at the idea of leaving it behind. So it's kinda impressive, when you think about it. Plus Bilbo is actually more corruptable than most hobbits because of his unusual desire for adventure and freedom. He has a reputation among other hobbits as a troublemaker. So Frodo is a great Ringbearer because he has no real desire for anything the Ring could offer him, but he also cares deeply about others and the world, so can't be scared off of his mission either. Also Frodo (in the books) is like... in his 50s when he leaves Hobbiton, not a teen. Hobbits age more slowly than humans, but not by much - it's probably fair to say that he's supposed to be the equivalent of a human in probably his 30s. Though I think the casting aged him down considerably in these movies :P

To get an idea of the depth of work Alan Lee, John Howe, Grant Major, Richard Taylor & the rest of the production design team put into the trilogy I’d recommend searching for the bonus features from the DVDs on KZfaq. Fun Fact: Back in 2007 I got to meet Sir Christopher Lee; which was an incredible honour. He was a true legend in every sense of the word; although he disliked the term. I got to speak to him about LOTR, his work with Hammer films & his iconic role as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man (the greatest British horror film ever!!!).

Whattt!! How did you get to meet him? Proper jealous mate

@davidanderson1639 3 жыл бұрын

@@justtrustash he was doing a signing of his heavy metal album at the record store I worked in at the time. The man was seriously tall; I’m 6ft2” he towered over me. I’d been a fan of his work for years & it was just incredible to meet him. Also, I have a degree in film design & seeing people be amazed at the technical achievements made during the production of LOTR is always awesome. Everything in Bag End was made from scratch & its staggering when you find out that the props team made somewhere in the region of 45’000 pieces for the films!!

Got to give Gimli his props, of all those who didn't know how to destroy the ring he was the only one who actually tried.

Yeah... when's that mamacita and Ash's sister channel happening? Is it a pending backorder? Do I have to call my local alderman? Okay, just finished watching yer reaction vid and had to add... I've watched this gem a guhbillion times now, and countless other reactor vids, to the point of over-dosing and just not watching them anymore... I watched your beginning just to see yer intro chit chat and let me tell you, in all sincerity... THIS version is beyond the best I've seen, if just for you both being so enamoured or enraptured or whatever, just so coolly mesmerized and grinning... just brilliant; I honestly felt like I was watching it for the very first time. THANK you for that, can't wait for the rest of the series!

Sam is such a hero, and especially how he started so ordinary, the end makes me cry like a baby no matter how many times i watch to see his loyalty and courage.

Peter Jackson said they treatee the Ring like an addiction., Tolkien said the Ring's effect on a person was like that in the Our Father, "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." The Ring draw evil out from inside of you and evil from the outside toward you.

12:23 It doesn't clink, it doesn't bounce or roll...it just slams onto the floor like an anchor dropped from a great height. 20:29 Ironically, this scene is a tribute to a rare great shot from Ralph Bakshi's ugly mess of a cartoon version _The Lord of the Rings_ (1978) which crammed the first two books into one ninety-minute film with disastrous results. Bakshi responded by demanding credit for Jackson's success.

Arwen and Aragorn's voices are sexy indeed. Upload the next part please!!
