[@Makkaru112]

The elvish songs of lamentation were for Gandalf when they arrived in Lothlórien. So the song you hear is literally for him whilst being a theme for the movie itself. The only excerpt from these songs is "Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey!" This was expanded & set to music by Philippa Boyens & Howard Shore, respectively, for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was sung in the said film by Elizabeth Fraser in the track Lothlórien. Notable about this song is that it assumes that the elves of Lothlórien were aware that Gandalf was an incarnate Maia. This is debatable. As well, the lyrics ask "What drove you to leave/That which you loved?". This suggests that Gandalf was well aware that he would fall in Moria. Other debatable verses include the claims that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar, and that with him the Flame of Anor would leave the world (assuming that it and he were one, or he was the only wielder of the Flame). (English comes after the Quenya) * The first part is in Quenya: A Olórin i yáresse Mentaner i Númenherui Tírien i Rómenóri Maiaron i Oiosaila Manan elye etevanne Nórie i melanelye? - The Second part is in Sindarin: Mithrandir, Mithrandir, A Randir Vithren ú-reniathach i amar galen I reniad lín ne mór, nuithannen In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen Caled veleg, ethuiannen. * Olórin, who once was... Sent by the Lords of the West To guard the lands of the East Wisest of all Maiar What drove you to leave That which you loved? Mithrandir, Mithrandir O Pilgrim Grey No more will you wander the green fields of this earth Your journey has ended in darkness. The bonds cut, the spirit broken The Flame of Anor has left this World A great light, extinguished.

What's amazing is his foreshadowing. When he's arguing with Aragorn & he says " there is weakness in men, frailty. But there is courage and honor to be found as well". Literally depicts the whole arc of the kingdoms of Gondor & Rohan

and the most important fact is that in the book it was an ordinary death but what peter jackson did here was something really commendable! 🙌🏻

[@warriorpitbull1170]

The significance of Galadriel's hair runs deep in Tolkien lore. Galadriel denied her hair to Fëanor because she knew the greed in his heart would never change. By gifting Gimli three hairs instead of the one he asked for, he proved a point that spanned back to the First Age. Giving three strands of her hair to a Dwarf but denying Fëanor even one shows that it's the character of an individual that's most important. Though their species didn't always agree, Gimli genuinely admired Galadriel. He showed this by asking for just a strand of hair while others were given weapons and enchanted items.

[@Makkaru112]

If it wasn’t for him caracroth wouldn’t be burned alive from within, eldrich Terror like Ungoliant wouldn’t have been burned by the holy light from within and had to regurgitate them back out after trying to devour Melkor(Morgoth) for them. Morgoth stole them and killed Fëanor’s father Finwë. The Valar hadn’t intervened against Morgoth in such a long time. Letting him essentially rampage in middle earth where his forefathers were from. Where the elves tire homeland was. Middle Earth. The elves wouldn’t have established Gondolin along with their alliances with mankind of which Finrod Felagund discovered and befriended the first of mankind to enter middle earth from far away. Also, it’s a big deal because His two eldest of 7 sons wouldn’t have needed up being the Foster parents of Elrond and his twin brother Elros either: Maedhros and Maglor.

[@Makkaru112]

The thing is with a certain clan of dwarves: A giant set of events throughout the ages caused a huge rift between dwarves and elves since before any elf ever saw a dwarf. Elves are the firstborn. Men are the secondborn. Dwarvish forefathers were created by the hands of one of the Valar named Aulë, then essentially Eru Îlluvatar(AllFather) breathed life into them to later wake up at a later date since Aulë was still excited to create things of his very own. It’s also why dwarves overall can resist the rings power and so forth. There were these beings became known as Petty Dwarves in the books where these beings were super hostile and the elves thought it was just another spawn of Melkor (now Morgoth) so when they finally did see actual dwarves they killed them on site. That and dwarves were keen on chopping down trees by huge amounts so you can kind of see why… but this was only the beginning. But it’s not a very good start. Buuut not all dwarvish clans share this rift as the creator of the 16 rings was an elf named Celebrimbor and is one of the best characters ever. His main smithery guild in Eregion was full of dwarves and elves called the “Gwaith Ír Mirdain”. Even Gimli’s father was really close to a certain elf I won’t name yet! ❤ Not all dwarves were enemies to elves. Galadriel and her brother were best friends with dwarves. Famously the fortress of Nargothrond was built by Finrod Felagund with the dwarves! It was only a certain clan that killed Elu Thingol! (Elwë) ​​⁠Galadriel & her elder brother Finrod Felagund were best friends with the dwarves. Finrod was named Felagund by the dwarves meaning “Earth Hewer” from the fact he helped them build the great fortress called Nargothrond of which he was the elven lord that ruled there justly. Was the same for Celebrimbor and the dwarves of Eregion especially the guild called Gwaith Í Mirdain. His bestie was Narvi the dwarf. Narvi and Celebrimbor created the doors of Moria. Moria is also the elvish name for Khazad Dûm. This gift for Gimli set it into imperishable Crystal and would be the only thing left in middle earth that holds the light of the two trees of Valinor (Valanor by the Eldar). It’s basically the uncursed version of the Nauglamir. He named it The Galadramir. ❤ ​​⁠ If you search for 'victorian hair art' then you can see what amazing things people created with hair in the past. Craftsmen as dwarfs were, I imagine that Gimli must have created something beyond exquisite!

Boromir’s death is one of the most tragic and glorious death scenes in all of film history. Sean Bean gave us a character that while we were wary of him we also came to love. Yes he was briefly driven mad by the ring and did try to taken it from Frodo, but he more than redeemed himself by trying to save Merry and Pippin. He took THREE arrows to the chest and while our hearts sank with each arrow hit he still fought his heart out. And in the end he dies with his sword in his hand, forgiveness from his brothers, and assurance from his king that Gondor and the world of men WILL NEVER FALL. A warrior could not ask for a better death. 😭😭😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@nataliestclair6176]

While sad and tragic and even more so in the book, to call it the most tragic and glorious death in all of film history is quite the long stretch.

It's alot less sad in the book cause you don't see the fight and he only has a couple of lines of dialog. But this death hits all the right beats;Redemption, suffering,slo-mo, great acting...his character comes fułl circle. It is a stereotypical beautiful death but maybe that's why its so great.

I told Season Astin my favorite movies of his is Encino Man, Toy Soldiers and The Final Season. When I said The Final Season Sean said you’re the second person that has said that and he really liked that I said that because that movie didn’t make much at the box office.

[@dylanwillmott5586]

It was spot on Magy when you compared Gandalf to an angel as that is basically what he is. He is one of the Maiar which were spirits given flesh. Originally named Olorin, Gandalf and four other wizards took on the forms of man and travelled to Middle Earth to help guide the people and help them against Sauron. The other four Maiar were Saruman, Radagast and two other wizards that travelled to the east. While originally Saruman was considered the strongest of the five and the most wise, Gandalf excelled at being able to bring people together and was one of the few that saw the inner strength of Hobbits.

[@MovieDan1011]

Like many in the comments Boromirs death always gets me as well as the rest of the movie"I made a promise Mr Frodo a promise don't you leave his Samwise Gamgee and i dont mean to i don't mean too"😢I love the trio of Aragorn Legolas and Gimli so much "Not if we hold true to eachother we will not abandon Merry amd Pippen to torment and death not while we have strength left leave all the can be spared behind gentlemen we travel ligh lets hunt some orc"

This was an incredible experience in the theater. I went in blind. Never heard of the books and had no clue what to expect. I initially thought the beginning was boring until the end. Once I learned more about it and re-watched the movie to understand the beginning better, the movie went from, not so bad, to incredibly epic. I mean, landing in probably my top 5 favorite movies of all time (though I count the entire trilogy as 1 movie). Definitely, the greatest fantasy movie ever put on film for me. There is so much going on, so many topics and issues. I don't think it will ever be topped.

[@dionysiacosmos]

The One Ring goes after the weakness of people even if they are not wearing it. In Boromir's case he's desperate to save the Southern Kingdom of Gondor, so it whispers that with it he can. It knows what Frodo plans to do with it, and latches onto Boromir before Frodo leaves to take it into Mordor to be destroyed. Boromir had a lot of pressure on him.

We all need a friend like Sam. 😥 When I first read the Fellowship of the Ring, I was a child, and I hated Boromir. I didn't understand the corrupting power of the Ring. I just saw someone that betrayed his friends. Now, I grieve for Boromir. His death breaks me every time. That said, he didn't go down without a fight, and he protected Merry and Pippin with his life. He redeemed himself. These movies are so amazing, and deserved every accolade they received. Wonderful reactions Magy and Laura! Also, you should react to Detective Pikachu! 😉 I look forward to the rest of the reactions to this amazing trilogy! ❤🐺

[@mevb]

For when Boromir dies, you can see that his face does get pale as the blood flow stops when you die, they did that with the color timing (which was used in almost all of the movie to enhance the mood of the scenes like making The Shire look so green, the prolouge feeling "ancient" by having a reduced colors, to make Moria look dead by having almost all the colors saturated with exception of a green cast in the shadows and the light from the torches, to make Galadriel and Celeborn look like light is coming from within them, to make The Prancing Pony feel like an uncomfortable place by having all the firelight being more of "urine-stained" greenish-yellow, turning some day shots into night shots, to mention a few). This also happens when a certain character dies in the third Hobbit movie (which I won't spoil here as you have yet to see it at time of writing).

@@tarmaque Don’t know if you are being a pretentious jerk who happened to take a film class in college and trying to one up someone and trying to embarrass or “troll” someone by asking those questions or if you are really curious by asking. Either way I’ll play your game and you most likely know more than I do about films and or books in some ways but not all. It does not matter either way to me. I will start with Japanese cinema because that is an easy answer for me. I know nothing about Japanese films. I don’t watch Japanese films and have never even seen The Seven Samurai that the original Magnificent Seven movie is based on. Maltese Falcon I would have to go with the 1941 film with Humphrey Bogart, no one can play Sam Spade like he did. Six Broadway plays made into movies, that’s really too easy- West Side Story, Grease. Camelot, Cabaret, Chicago, A Chorus Line, The King and I, Funny Girl (I named more than six)and many more. Never watched a Russian film. I can name Two movies Peter Jackson did before LotR- Heavenly Creatures and a supernatural comedy horror Frighteners. Alistair MacLean wrote The Guns of Navarone, Force Ten from Navarone, and Ice Station Zero and those were made into movies. Village of the Damned = The Midwich Cuckoos, Don’t know what was Clint Eastwood’s first move he directed, but if I had to guess I would say something early like Outlaw Josey Wales or High Plains Drifter. Maybe the Dirty Harry movies. Robinhood I would have to go with the Errol Flynn version. I did like the Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn (can never go wrong with an Audrey Hepburn movie) version with an old Robin coming home from the Crusades. Yes I have seen Zardoz with Sean Connery. Burt Reynolds- yes, Smokey and the Bandit. Only thing I know about Sessue Hayakawa is that he played the Japanese Col. In Bridge on the River Kwai…forget his name. Only thing I know about Ida Lupino besides that she was very beautiful was that she was in High Sierra with Humphrey Bogart. My question to you is, of course this is based on your own personal opinion- What do you consider is the best movie based on a book. Again personal opinion so if you want you can say the terrible Conan movie. Ok it was not terrible just in no way captured the true Conan as Robert E Howard created in his original stories.

[@tarmaque]

@@nataliestclair6176 I stand corrected. Your knowledge is pretty damned good. Not everyone's knowledge of movies is identical, but most of that was spot on. Since you are a fan, I would suggest you check out the 1931 version of _The Maltese Falcon_ starring Ricardo Cortez. His version of Sam Spade is much slimier and less affable that Bogart, and closer to the novel. Also a young Una Merkle as Effie is delightful. As for my "favorite" movie, it certainly isn't _Conan the Barbarian._ It's okay, and better than most of the rest of the Sword and Sorcerer movies of the 80's, but hardly my favorite. I'm tempted to say _Blade Runner_ is my favorite, but that would be dishonest. It's certainly among my top ten, along with _Lawrence of Arabia_ and _Auntie Mame._ I'm also a fan of _Three Days of the Condor._ But to be honest my favorites change all the time. My current favorite is a little independent movie from Japan called _Our Little Sister_ by Kore-eda Hirokazu. Nothing special really, but it just punches all my buttons having grown up in a small town with lots of aunts and grandmothers in my life. Sessue Hayakawa was a huge star in the US prior to WWII, and was considered a sex symbol by most women. Of course the war ruined that for him, but that was what his real fame was. He was in dozens of movies from 1914 through the 1930s, and more after that. It's just that the rolls changed and he was usually the villain rather than a heartthrob he was before the war. Ida Lupino, aside from being gorgeous, was one of the first great women directors. In fact she was only the second woman to be accepted into the Directors Guild. She directed _Outrage_ in 1950 about a girl who is raped. Very controversial in its time, but Ida was fearless. Clint Eastwood's directorial debut was _Play Misty for Me_ in 1971. A movie he brought in four days early and $50,000 under budget. It's a slow kind of thriller, but one of his better performances in the 70's. ( _Zardoz!_ ? Really? If you're going to watch a Boorman movie, try _Point Blank_ or _Hell in the Pacific._ Or _Deliverance._ Or even _Excalibur._ Anything else.) Watch movies and enjoy them. All different kinds. Don't pay attention to an old troll like me. (I'm not, but I am a curmudgeon.)

Galadriel’s Gift To Gimli part 2 - ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 elf-years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous). Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz. (So by this current era in HUMAN solar years she’s like 150,000 to 180,000 years old. Now that makes more sense if she’s going to be older than the sun and moon. Tolkien was always reiterating his manuscripts with the growing scientific discoveries.) Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees. Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.) One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah. Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her. I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed & most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting what would be the vessels of the last fruit & flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them and it was stated that she learned all there was to learn from ALL of the Valar that they could teach and she mastered all at a deep level. (Wow hey?) She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning. The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun&Moon. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years. Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤ The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm) Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.

Fëanor "the greatest elf" (in his crime) did not receive a single hair after asking for it 3 times, because Galadriel saw the greed, ego and arrogance in his heart. He sought to possess and dominate. Gimli did not even ask for it but was forced to ask because he wanted to preserve it as a memory of his friendship with the lady of the galadrim and a symbol of friendship between their peoples. She gave him 3 locks (like the 3 silmariles). It is said that Galadriel's hair caught the light of the two Trees of Valinor and that is why Fëanor desired it and the Silmariles were inspired by them.

With Boromir, although perhaps not portrayed quite as well in the movies, he is written to represent the idea that even the best of men will fall to the power of the ring. The ring's influence increases according to ambition and seeking strength, even in good cases like Boromir, who wanted to help his people. Hobbits are peace loving, and humble which is why Frodo seems less effected.

[@ajl9772]

Galadriel's gift of three hairs is a lot more significant than you'd think. Early in Middle Earth's history before the sun and moon came to being and before men and dwarves woke up (technically the dwarves were created earlier by Vala Aule, the blacksmith god and Sauron's mentor before Melkor/Morgoth convinced him to join him, therefore becoming evil, but the great creator god Eru Illuvtar found out about it and when he confronted Aule about this, he offered to destroy the seven first dwarves he created but as he was gonna do so, they recoiled in fear, making Illluvatar change his mind and let them be part of Middle Earth but on the condition that they must be remained asleep until after the elves woke up), a mighty elf smith named Fearnor (who would later make the three gemstones, The Silmaril, which contained the light from The Two Trees, the light sources of Arda the workd before the sun and moon, and would cause a whole lot of grief to Middle Earth thanks to Morgoth stealing them and Feanor forcing his people to fight against him to take them back), who was Galadriel's uncle, wanted a hair from Galadriel's head but as she saw the selfish desire, she turned him down three times. With Gimli, it wasn't for a selfish reason he wanted a strand of hair and didn't expect her to give him one, so she gave him three. That's the reason why Legolas smiled as he knew the backstory and the significance behind the hair strands.

When Lurtz throws the dagger at Aragorn, that happened for real, it wasn't CGI or a planned film trick. If Viggo Mortensen (Aragron) didn't managed to deflect the dagger, he'd either be seriously injured (despite the dagger was made out of aluminium, it's still metal and sharp) or killed if he was unlucky. This scene was directed by Barrie M. Osbourne, one of the producers, who also were one of several extra unit directors (others were co-producer Rick Porras, writers Fran Walsh and Philipa Boyens, Head CGI Animation director Jim Rygiel, Geoff Murphy and John Maffie and even Andy Serkie, Gollum himself when Walsh got sick during a scene for The Return of the King). He came up with the idea of Lurtz licking the blood off Aragorn's dagger, which people have berated Peter Jackson for, because he's known for gross and sick jokes like he did in Braindead/Dead Alive, Meet the Feebles, his debut Bad Taste and even in LOTR itself at times,, King Kong and The Hobbit.

Love you all!.

[@Makkaru112]

You’ll love the full scene with Frodo+Sam &Galadriel the great Peter Jackson & team didn’t seem to include.. which all this little stuff lead to that scene in the movies which gave it more meaning; & the”one who has seen the eye” thing was a mistake by the team. It gave the wrong message and was not needed as it lead some reactors to be like “so creepy lol” which diminishes how much farther that well done scene could have gone especially in the extended to do it properly as in the books that latex it out perfectly.: •[Frodo] stepped back shaking all over & looked at the Lady. “I know what it was that you last saw”, she said; 'for that is also in my mind. Do not be afraid! But do not think that only by singing amid the trees, nor even by the slender arrows of elven-bows, is this land of Lothlórien maintained and defended against its Enemy. I say to you, Frodo, that even as I speak to you, I perceive the Dark Lord and know his mind, or all of his mind that concerns the Elves. And he gropes ever to see me and my thought. But still the door is closed!' She lifted up her white arms, and spread out her hands towards the East in a gesture of rejection and denial. Eärendil, the Evening Star, most beloved of the Elves, shone clear above. So bright was it that the figure of the Elven-lady cast a dim shadow on the ground. Its rays glanced upon a ring about her finger; it glittered like polished gold overlaid with silver light, and a white stone in it twinkled as if the Evenstar had come down to rest upon her hand. Frodo gazed at the ring with awe; for suddenly it seemed to him that he understood. 'Yes,' she said, divining his thought, 'it is not permitted to speak of it, and Elrond could not do so. But it cannot be hidden from the Ring-bearer, and one who has seen the Eye. Verily it is in the land of Lórien upon the finger of Galadriel that one of the Three remains. This is Nenya, the Ring of Adamant, and I am its keeper. 'He suspects, but he does not know - not yet. Do you not see now wherefore your coming is to us as the footstep of Doom? For if you fail, then we are laid bare to the Enemy. Yet if you succeed, then our power is diminished, and Lothlórien will fade, and the tides of Time will sweep it away. We must depart into the West, or dwindle to a rustic folk of dell and cave, slowly to forget and to be forgotten.' Frodo bent his head. 'And what do you wish?' he said at last. 'That what should be shall be,' she answered. 'The love of the Elves for their land and their works is deeper than the deeps of the Sea, and their regret is undying and cannot ever wholly be assuaged. Yet they will cast all away rather than submit to Sauron: for they know him now. For the fate of Lothlórien you are not answerable but only for the doing of your own task. Yet I could wish, were it of any avail, that the One Ring had never been wrought, or had remained for ever lost.' 'You are wise and fearless and fair, Lady Galadriel,' said Frodo. 'I will give you the One Ring, if you ask for it. It is too great a matter for me.' Galadriel laughed with a sudden clear laugh. 'Wise the Lady Galadriel may be,' she said, 'yet here she has met her match in courtesy. Gently are you revenged for my testing of your heart at our first meeting. You begin to see with a keen eye. I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired to ask what you offer. For many long years I had pondered what I might do, should the Great Ring come into my hands, and behold! it was brought within my grasp. The evil that was devised long ago works on in many ways, whether Sauron himself stands or falls. Would not that have been a noble deed to set to the credit of his Ring, if I had taken it by force or fear from my guest? 'And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!' She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad. 'I pass the test,' she said. 'I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.' They stood for a long while in silence. At length the Lady spoke again. 'Let us return!' she said. 'In the morning you must depart for now we have chosen, and the tides of fate are flowing.' 'I would ask one thing before we go,' said Frodo, 'a thing which I often meant to ask Gandalf in Rivendell. I am permitted to wear the One Ring: why cannot I see all the others and know the thoughts of those that wear them?' 'You have not tried,' she said. 'Only thrice have you set the Ring upon your finger since you knew what you possessed. Do not try! It would destroy you. Did not Gandalf tell you that the rings give power according to the measure of each possessor? Before you could use that power you would need to become far stronger, and to train your will to the domination of others. Yet even so, as Ring-bearer and as one that has borne it on finger and seen that which is hidden, your sight has grown keener. You have perceived my thought more clearly than many that are accounted wise. You saw the Eye of him that holds the Seven and the Nine. And did you not see and recognize the ring upon my finger? Did you see my ring?' she asked turning again to Sam. 'No, Lady,' he answered. 'To tell you the truth, I wondered what you were talking about. I saw a star through your finger. But if you'll pardon my speaking out, I think my master was right. I wish you'd take his Ring. You'd put things to rights. You'd stop them digging up the gaffer and turning him adrift. You'd make some folk pay for their dirty work.' 'I would,' she said. 'That is how it would begin. But it would not stop with that, alas! We will not speak more of it. Let us go!' When] at last all that [Galadriel] had desired in her youth came to her hand, the Ring of Power and the peaceful rule of Middle-earth which she had dreamed... her wisdom was full grown and she rejected it.... Meaning definitely by now it’s become trivial to her. Even back in the day he couldn’t find her or pierce her mind and whenever he went looking for her presence he boils t find her ALL AT THE SAME TIME AS HER BEING ABLE TO READ HIS OWN MIND WITHOUT HIM KNOWING! Often times even from a great distance. That’s power. Just one calm look from her is all it takes to send even the Nazgûl run away from her. They even avoid her entirely, opting to travel 100s of miles around her realm; both because of its own power as well as they know exactly who she is and her exact lineage through themselves being very old. 4000+years old. Especially the WitchKing(head Nazgûl). Remember Númenorean men are not like other average men. They were known to be rather superhuman & very tall. Between 6-8 feet.

Poor Bilbo will never truly be rid of the Ring's influence over him, just like all the beings who come in contact with it. Boromir got quite attached to the hobbits, just like everyone else. The "duel" between Gandalf and Saruman, Gandalf trying to calm down the weather and Saruman fanning the flames, "waking up the mountain" and it's murderous intent - this is a perfect example of magic being done right, subtle, but delivering an incredibly powerful performance. What Gandalf said here very much applies to the kraken-like creature that attacked the party moments before they fled into Moria. Nobody knows where that monstrous being came from. One of the best conversations in the first movie, Gandalf has such a masterful way of imparting wisdom to those in need of it. Setup and payoff - earlier in the movie Gandalf mentions Bilbo's mithril vest and how durable it is, now we see that. The battle between Gandalf and the Balrog, although brief, was spectacular. Such a powerful moment, seeing Aragorn and Boromir bond like that. The little peek Galadriel offered at just how terribly powerful and beautiful she would be with the Ring - it emphasizes why the Ring should never reach the hands of such powerful beings as herself or Gandalf. Gimli was blessed with the most precious gift of them all by Galadriel. Aside from being incredibly old and powerful, because of her age, she was around when the original sun and moon (a pair of trees called Laurelin and Telperion) were alive and lighting the entirety of Middle Earth. That beautiful, perfect light was said to be captured in Galadriel's hair. By offering Gimli 3 strands of her hair, that light made its way into the dwarven kingdom too, Gimli encasing those 3 strands into diamond so they would forever be preserved. It's sad to see how in the end the Ring made Boromir try to take it from Frodo. Even so, when it mattered the most, he defended Merry and Pippin until his strength was expended and he died with his honor intact. Magy, you did a fantastic job not spoiling anything, I'm very proud of you! Thank you for this epic reaction ❤

[@Alexszander]

@hephner78 One of the most beautiful in the trilogy, along with his description of Valinor/death to Pippin in the 3rd movie.

[@Alexszander]

@hephner78 They never fought in the book so Peter Jackson took some liberties with it. Not ideal but irrelevant nonetheless, we know the Witch King was not fated to fall there.

[@Alexszander]

@hephner78 Yea it's pretty much the same scene, except in book the confrontation happens in front of the gates. It really isn't that much of a big deal, all things considered. Clearly Jackson wanted to emphasize the importance/power of the Witch King and maybe he took it too far but it is what it is. In the end, the confrontation ends exactly as in the book.

[@Alexszander]

@hephner78 I agree, it's clearly a very strong creative freedom he's taken however, Gandalf's age/importance since his inception in that universe is irrelevant. Their directive was clear, they were not to use grand displays of power in order to help the mortal races deal with Sauron's evil. The role of the wizards were to guide, to inspire, to put things into motion but that's it. For all intents are purposes, he behaved exactly like he should have - like an old, wise, man who inspired those around him to keep fighting in that dire situation. If he suddenly deleted the Witch King, all mortals on Middle Earth would've started worshipping him like something he clearly never wanted to be and nothing good would've come out of that.

[@Alexszander]

@hephner78 It is what it is. Again, there very much was a point to see Gandalf thrown down, it emphasized his role in Middle Earth - to inspire the mortal races and offer counsel when needed, not to throw around Sauron's liutenant like he was nothing. Sure, it would've been better if Jackson stuck to the book scene but then again, like I've said above, he really wanted to make sure the audience knows exactly how dangerous/powerful the Witch King is.

[@johntumahab323]

One of the only things I didn't care for in the trilogy when I first saw it was Galadriel...or, at least, a combination of Blanchett's performance and Jackson's direction. She seemed to utterly pessimistic and almost antagonistic at points---like she was more out to discourage and dissuade everyone from opposing Sauron by constantly saying how pointless opposition was. But...I figure I can kind of blame that on how the films were made. One of the details I know is Cate Blanchett had a very tight schedule of availability; such that all of her scenes for all three movies had to be shot first (The final scene at the Grey Havens was actually one of the FIRST scenes shot for the trilogy). And Ian McKellen admitted when he was in that scene he wasn't really sure how his character should be feeling because the only other scene had had shot so far had been his arrival in the Shire in "Fellowship". So...my guess is Blanchett was much the same and really didn't know what outlook she was supposed to be having in most of her scenes.

Gimli's gift from Galadriel was his prized possession for the rest of his life. He sealed the hairs of Galadriel in a glass rod, and he treasured it above all other jewels until the day he died.

[@Makkaru112]

I’ll give some background as well as what the hair actually was used for - The thing is with a certain clan of dwarves: A giant set of events throughout the ages caused a huge rift between dwarves and elves since before any elf ever saw a dwarf. Elves are the firstborn. Men are the secondborn. Dwarvish forefathers were created by the hands of one of the Valar named Aulë, then essentially Eru Îlluvatar(AllFather) breathed life into them to later wake up at a later date since Aulë was still excited to create things of his very own. It’s also why dwarves overall can resist the rings power and so forth. There were these beings became known as Petty Dwarves in the books where these beings were super hostile and the elves thought it was just another spawn of Melkor (now Morgoth) so when they finally did see actual dwarves they killed them on site. That and dwarves were keen on chopping down trees by huge amounts so you can kind of see why… but this was only the beginning. But it’s not a very good start. Buuut not all dwarvish clans share this rift as the creator of the 16 rings was an elf named Celebrimbor and is one of the best characters ever. His main smithery guild in Eregion was full of dwarves and elves called the “Gwaith Ír Mirdain”. Even Gimli’s father was really close to a certain elf I won’t name yet! ❤ Not all dwarves were enemies to elves. Galadriel and her brother were best friends with dwarves. Famously the fortress of Nargothrond was built by Finrod Felagund with the dwarves! It was only a certain clan that killed Elu Thingol! (Elwë) ​​⁠Galadriel & her elder brother Finrod Felagund were best friends with the dwarves. Finrod was named Felagund by the dwarves meaning “Earth Hewer” from the fact he helped them build the great fortress called Nargothrond of which he was the elven lord that ruled there justly. Was the same for Celebrimbor and the dwarves of Eregion especially the guild called Gwaith Í Mirdain. His bestie was Narvi the dwarf. Narvi and Celebrimbor created the doors of Moria. Moria is also the elvish name for Khazad Dûm. This gift for Gimli set it into imperishable Crystal and would be the only thing left in middle earth that holds the light of the two trees of Valinor (Valanor by the Eldar). It’s basically the uncursed version of the Nauglamir. He named it The Galadramir. ❤ ​​⁠ If you search for 'victorian hair art' then you can see what amazing things people created with hair in the past. Craftsmen as dwarfs were, I imagine that Gimli must have created something beyond exquisite!

[@Makkaru112]

Set it into imperishable crystal actually. Becoming The Galadramir. Becoming the less tragic version of the Nauglamir. Mending the two kindreds back together again. Even though it was only one particular clan of dwarves which did the whole murdering of Elu Thingol(Elwë) over possessing it.

[@Makkaru112]

@@marshallprince2583here is a little more context to the gift Galadriel gave him - her gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. She is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun&moon, (only the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower & fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor when he struck them with his Lance and Ungoliant the primordial Eldrich Terror, Ungoliant she was named by the Eldar). It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people after his father Finwë was slain by Morgoth(Formally known as Melkor). Fëanor arguably was their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked if she could give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, and other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien. The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Ñoldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol)

[@ahmarelvirgio823]

That only 1 Balrog. Back in the First Age the elves and the men fought 4 to 7 Balrogs simultaneously in the battlefield

[@daneelolivaw1976]

Very cute reaction. I loved it and cried with you.

[@masastronomia5247]

Los cabellos de galadriel poseen el brillo y la magia de los silmaril. Y por eso son tan especiales. El más grande de los señores elfos le pidió uno de sus cabellos una vez, y Galadriel, se lo negó. Por eso Legolas sonríe. Porque él sabe que Galadriel le dió a Guimli tres veces más de lo que le negó al más grande de todos los elfos. Y a partir de ese momento Legolas comenzó a ver a Gimli como alguien muy especial. Se forja una amistad que nunca se vió entre elfos y enanos. Y nunca se volverá a ver.

Her gift was turned into something very special that basically became the holier and uncursed Nauglamir! The thing is with a certain clan of dwarves: A giant set of events throughout the ages caused a huge rift between dwarves and elves since before any elf ever saw a dwarf. Elves are the firstborn. Men are the secondborn. Dwarvish forefathers were created by the hands of one of the Valar named Aulë, then essentially Eru Îlluvatar(AllFather) breathed life into them to later wake up at a later date since Aulë was still excited to create things of his very own. It’s also why dwarves overall can resist the rings power and so forth. There were these beings became known as Petty Dwarves in the books where these beings were super hostile and the elves thought it was just another spawn of Melkor (now Morgoth) so when they finally did see actual dwarves they killed them on site. That and dwarves were keen on chopping down trees by huge amounts so you can kind of see why… but this was only the beginning. But it’s not a very good start. Buuut not all dwarvish clans share this rift as the creator of the 16 rings was an elf named Celebrimbor and is one of the best characters ever. His main smithery guild in Eregion was full of dwarves and elves called the “Gwaith Ír Mirdain”. Even Gimli’s father was really close to a certain elf I won’t name yet! ❤ Not all dwarves were enemies to elves. Galadriel and her brother were best friends with dwarves. Famously the fortress of Nargothrond was built by Finrod Felagund with the dwarves! It was only a certain clan that killed Elu Thingol! (Elwë) ​​⁠Galadriel & her elder brother Finrod Felagund were best friends with the dwarves. Finrod was named Felagund by the dwarves meaning “Earth Hewer” from the fact he helped them build the great fortress called Nargothrond of which he was the elven lord that ruled there justly. Was the same for Celebrimbor and the dwarves of Eregion especially the guild called Gwaith Í Mirdain. His bestie was Narvi the dwarf. Narvi and Celebrimbor created the doors of Moria. Moria is also the elvish name for Khazad Dûm. This gift for Gimli set it into imperishable Crystal and would be the only thing left in middle earth that holds the light of the two trees of Valinor (Valanor by the Eldar). It’s basically the uncursed version of the Nauglamir. He named it The Galadramir. ❤ ​​⁠ If you search for 'victorian hair art' then you can see what amazing things people created with hair in the past. Craftsmen as dwarfs were, I imagine that Gimli must have created something beyond exquisite!
