When Aragorn said 'for Frodo' he was referring to the promise he made at the Council of Elrond (Fellowship of the Ring) 'if by my life or death I can protect you then I will'. He was willing to keep that promise - that is what heroes do.

From the book when Sam wakes up: Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?" A great Shadow has departed," said Gandalf, and then he laughed and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as he listened the thought came to Sam that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count.

They don’t show it in this movie, but while Sam has the ring there’s a moment where the ring shows him a vision and he starts to consider what kind of Dark Lord he would be. I don’t remember it perfectly, but he imagines himself as a giant powerful warrior whose presence rallies armies into Mordor to destroy Sauron and then he turns Mordor into a Green and Wild place. He changes his mind when he remembers Frodo is his master and best friend, and that he himself is a simple Hobbit who enjoys a simple life, not some grand lord.

@dannykent6190 2 ай бұрын

As it drew near the great furnaces where, in the deeps of time, it had been shaped and forged, the Ring's power grew, and it became more fell, untameable except by some mighty will. As Sam stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, a vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor. He felt that he had from now on only two choices: to forbear the Ring, though it would torment him; or to claim it, and challenge the Power that sat in its dark hold beyond the valley of shadows. Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dur. And then all the clouds rolled away, and the white sun shone, and at his command the vale of Gorgoroth became a garden of flowers and trees and brought forth fruit. He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be. In that hour of trial it was his love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command. 'And anyway all these notions are only a trick, he said to himself.

Frodo never fully healed from his wounds, which means he could never stay happy in Middle-Earth. He, Gandalf, Bilbo, and the rest are going to the undying lands (Elf heaven essentially), where mortal beings usually aren't allowed. An exception is made for Frodo and Bilbo because they were ring bearers. In the appendices we learn that Sam becomes mayor of the Shire and lives a long and happy life. After his wife dies, he also sails west to the undying lands because he was briefly a ring bearer. So Frodo and Sam do meet again. Merry and Pippin spend their days with Aragorn in Gondor, and when they die they are buried next to Aragorn's grave. Legolas and Gimli remain friends, and their friendship heals the rift between Dwarf and Elf. When they reach their end, they also sail to the undying lands together. It's a massive honor for Gimli, being a dwarf, and never a ring bearer. Once they leave, the fellowship is gone from Middle Earth forever.

With as many gut punches as there are throughout this trilogy, the one that hits me maybe the hardest is one of the more subtle moments. Right at the very end, Frodo gets on the boat and turns around to smile at them. That's the first truly weight-free smile from Frodo since before he was given the Ring. Even after it's destruction, he was still burdened by the mental damage and the wound from the Witch King's blade. The very end is the first time he genuinely smiles, knowing he's finally about to escape all pain

@opaliittiopa 2 ай бұрын

The moment of aragorn kneeling in front of the hobbits always hits me in the feelings. Even more so when the thought process behind the story is explained a bit: Tolkien wanted to show that even the smallest and ”insignificant” people (hobbits in this case) can cause a massive change, and that even the small good deeds keep darkness at bay. I somehow love the idea

@zoesumra9152 2 ай бұрын

At 24:07 , Gandalf didn't summon the Eagles. The moth is a visual shorthand for alerting Gandalf to their presence. Tolkien went backwards and forwards on what the Eagles were, but eventually decided they were lesser Maiar - angels - and was consistent that they answer only to Manwë, the chief of the Valar (archangels). Manwë sent them to join in, and ordered them to carry Gandalf wherever he wanted to go. Back in film 1, the eagle leader rescued Gandalf only because he owed him a favour. They aren't easy to order around.

@joshuawiedenbeck6944 2 ай бұрын

These stories were written in the 50s, right after WWII. I've always liked to think that the Eagles were like the U.S. The U.S. didn't want to get involved in WWII and came into it late. Once they did arrive, though, they were a massive force in helping turn the tide of the war. That, plus the U.S. national bird is an eagle.

I’ve been on the lookout for your final reaction here. This is such a special trilogy. On top of the wonderful acting and cinematography, the epic musical score and special effects, it’s the heart and deeper meeting of the story that really resonate with you. And I have a few thoughts in that regard. Gandalf told Frodo back in Fellowship that he believed Gollum had a role to play, for good or ill, before the end. Frodo was saying that it was a pity that Bilbo hadn’t killed Gollum when he had the chance. But as Gandolf said it was pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. In the end, it was very important that Gollum was there, because even Frodo was unable to destroy the Ring on his own. This was such an important part of the story. And then there is the end of Frodo’s story. It was very perceptive of you to catch on to what was happening there at the end. So much of Tolkien’s early adulthood was shaped by World War I. He lost almost all of the very close circle of friends that he had as a young man. And he saw the lifelong trauma, physically and emotionally that the war had on so many of his generation. The idea of Frodo having wounds too deep to heal is another one of the themes of this story that really resonate with me. The horrors of war and it’s affects on a person feels so well portrayed by Frodo’s experience. I was really curious about whether you would discuss this aspect of the story with your son afterwards. Many reactions have a tough time with Frodo leaving in the end. And while I think it is a beautifully poignant part of the story, I could understand someone your son’s age not really grasping that part. Which in the end might be just fine. It might be something that is more meaningful to him when he re-watches the movies sometime in the future. I love that final shot of Frodo as he turns back to his friends and gives them that beautiful smile. Just like the immediate relief he felt after the Ring was destroyed, this felt like a similar moment. The idea of how traveling to the Undying Lands would allow him to finally heal from the effects of the Ring is completely expressed in that smile. And then the final moments of the movie, when you hear Frodo’s voiceover telling Sam how he can’t continue to be torn in two between Frodo and his family. That he has to be a whole person for his family, and that his story would go on to enjoy the peace they fought so hard for. As most people seem to do, you two saw that Sam was the true hero of this tale. The last bit that I want to comment on is Eowyn and Merry killing the Witch King. Eowyn was King Theoden’s niece by the way, not his daughter. One thing that never really got explained in the movies is how just being around the Nazgul had a very harmful effect on others. And while Eowyn and Merry were able together to destroy the Witch King, they both fall gravely ill from their contact with him. Lots of people watching the movie are really confused when for a few moments it looks like Eowyn is actually dead, before Aragorn uses his healing skills on her. In the books there is this lovely part where both Eowyn and Faramir are in what is called the Houses of the Healing. This is where they grew close and is the start of their relationship. Unfortunately, like a fair amount of the books, this was really glossed over in the movie due to time constraints. Therefore, lots of people are a bit surprised at how quick the movie develops their relationship. But it is flushed out in a lovely way in the book. I always enjoy watching people react to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But this was a really special experience to see a father and son watching this trilogy for the first time. I know it was a special experience for the two of you as well. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.❤

Notice Gandalf brought three eagles. Just in case Sméagol survived.

It’s a huge question, right? Why would Tolkien write SIX books, a prequel and a Bible just to have Frodo come all this way and fail in the end? Imo there are two points he was making. First, it’s about the journey. Frodo got the ring all the way there. He made the effort. He TRIED. Sometimes we get to the end and it doesn’t work out. But we tried. And that’s what matters. The second point is that the world was saved, not by the sword or by power, but by compassion. Leaving gollum alive. That’s what saved the world and in the end, if we are to save this one, compassion is what will do it. Imo these are the themes that make this work timeless.

Thank you. I wasn't bugging out. "Pick him up Sam." 10 seconds later, Sam picks him up. One of the most emotional scenes of the entire movie, he takes it in stride as would someone who already saw that scene. "Sam is fighting with him, Frodo is going to have to go for it." A direct contradiction to what he said 20 seconds earlier. The only guy that ever realized that Frodo recharged his batteries already, after Frodo was last scene flat on his back with Golem. The best was at the very end, "They're all going back to the Shire, Sam is all married up." Who thinks like that after Frodo's journey is over with his final look back? Nobody is thinking about the Shire at that point. The screen dims & we see Sam in the Shire with his wife, 5 seconds later. At least another half dozen other call outs I noticed. Yes, I forgive him, because his son needed to watch this.

@@jayhildenbrand7237 Those are all explainable though. The first 2 aren’t even contradictions either, Frodo did need to be carried but now that Sméagol has attacked them there’s no other choice except to try and run no matter what. Sam being married isn’t a very big surprise either.

@jayhildenbrand7237 2 ай бұрын

@@fosterbennington6405 I think not. There are nearly a dozen occasions where he blurted out what's to happen in the next scene. Besides that, did Frodo even fight with Golem, when Golem jumped them? He just fell over, lay flat on his back & got saved by Sam again by a rock being thrown at Golem. "C'mon Mr. Frodo, I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you." He must have gotten a shot of adrenaline off screen & the reactor knew about it. It was plausible as to what they were set to do, but less plausible that Frodo could of mustered the energy to run, let alone walk at that point. That's why it's a fictional movie. Nobody's thought process is concentrated on the Shire at the point he blurted it out. The concentration is on Frodo's journey & that he ultimately paid the price for it. Only someone that saw the next scene would mention the Shire & Sam being married directly after we see Frodo's eyes.

"Holy Banana Tree." Glad you're easing up on the profanity in front of your son. 😊

24:06 Gandalf didnt do it. The giant eagles are an intelligent race. There are not many of them they live on high mountain peaks and for the most part stay out of the affairs of the world. They do have a "special" relationship with Gandalf which is too long to go into (work for the same boss (and the moth!)) but Gandalf did not expect them. They came by the're own volition (perhap strongly suggested by their boss)

I have watched these films sooooo many times, but I'm a Kiwi so it would be wrong for them not to be something I know word for word. I have read the books as well & Tolkien was before his time, worlds, races, and each language all from his imagination. Knowing the both the writing & the screen I know there are characters missing that some people have issue with, & yes afew I would have loved to have seen in action but I still love these movies. Also as a proud Kiwi, yes boy's totally filmed in New Zealand, and all the creations & digital work had it's birth here too. You can take tours to so many locations & Hobbiton is awesome ...been twice, planning on going again, they were building this when I last went about a year ago. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJaEhK9z26ideZc.html&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Freis360.nl%2F&feature=emb_imp_woyt

Notice when Gandalf sent 3 eagles, one for Frodo, one for Sam and one for Smigol, because he believed in his redemption until the end. It makes my heart feel heavy.
