"Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!"
- King Theoden as quoted from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Chapter V "The Ride of the Rohirrim"
This is by far my favorite scene of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and one of my favorite parts of J.R.R. Tolkiens works.

Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young.

I love the description in the book, how it basically describes this old king suddenly exploding with might, energy, and defiance.

I love how even for a trilogy the music never changed, the feel of each movie was the same. It all felt like one film. All 11 hours of it. They dont make films with passion like this anymore its sad.

Agreed. One of the big issues I jabe with the Hobbit is they all feel like separate movies. And the amazing Dwarf theme from the first one is abandoned in the later movies.

1:02: What an actor. His expression captured that moment of desperation so perfectly. Theoden had no hope of success, and was looking at both his own death and the death of his entire people. Yet he knew what had to be done, to fulfill his oaths, and his people's honor. What a god-damned MAN.

@dessertstorm7476 Ай бұрын

Theoden understands the power of a speech. Éowyn's expression when hearing the battlecry is "death" sums up the gut-wrenching fear and apprehension of facing down your own likely (painful) death, something most of us wont experience, and even for those who serve, not a normal scenario in modern warfare. But by the 3rd cry they are both "bought-in" and the power of the rallying call and the group mentality is filling them with courage.

The look of sheer horror on the terrible faces of the army of Uruk-Hai as their inevitable doom comes stampeding at them, thousands of men strong, is one of the most amazing displays in cinema history. These creatures once shown and thought of to be an unstoppable force, now met with the true meaning of valor and courage, as they begin to retreat only to be trampled and absolutely slaughtered. And they can do not a single thing to stop them from their advance. Truly one of, if not the greatest trilogies of all time.

What's up with thar order to Grimbold? "--take your company right, after you reach the wall!" It's a fine scene, but that's a tiny flaw: apparently the left wing was supposed to turn flanks, but that is never shown. Actually, it's Eomer on the left, so where is Grimbold's regiment supposed to go? There's not much room on the field for a sweeping move like that... They'd turn right, and basically run into the city walls. 😦 Not to nit-pick, I've just seen this scene over the years many enough time to really take it apart. I loved the book battle, because it was total chaos in the darkness, and the Rohirrim used it to their advantage perfectly.

From a military point of view, the attack by Rohirim fixes the orc army in place. It can't continue the assualt as it responds to the attack. This sets the stage for Aragorns arrival with the Army of the Dead. Basically, the or7cs are destroyed by a double envelopement. And yes, it's a great speech.

@RagPlaysGames 6 жыл бұрын

The Rohirrim assembled on a stretch of elevated ground before the charge, so the orcs wouldn't have been able to see past the first line of cavalry to gage their number. The shock was realizing that their volleys weren't enough to stop the charge which consisted of far more men than they were capable of repelling. The terror was having no where to run since they were packed up against the other formations still besieging Minas Tirith.
