I love how Gandalf is disappointed that everyone started arguing and five seconds later he joins the arguing

[@ThePortalDark]

I always assumed that the arguing not random. Might not be the same on the books, but this scene on the movie implies the discord ensuing is caused by the ring's influence. So while Gandalf is disappointed, soon he also falls victim to it

[@larnregis]

I assumed he only pretended to argue as well, not to appear immune to the influence of the ring. Thus preventing anyone from suggesting he would take the ring and thus meddle more with mortal affairs than he is allowed to.

I mean to be fair it was also a Dwarf, Hobbit, and Maia meeting, and whatever the hell you call the unholy hybrid that is Elrond. No seriously, look up his family tree. Bro is related to *everybody.*

[@cpegg5840]

@flowerfaerie Elrond’s own identical twin brother was Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first King of Numenor who chose the life of Men and was dead for 6000 years by the time of the Council of Elrond. Arwen is indirectly lrelated to Aragorn, it’s gross as hell.

[@flowerfaerie8931]

@@cpegg5840 If you do the math on that, Aragorn is Arwen’s cousin (insert number close to 50) times removed. The vast majority of, if not all of, human couples are more closely related than that, and no one considers it gross. The lifespan of elves vs the lifespan of men makes it so they’re more closely related on paper than in reality.

[@RojiBlanco]

[@ShotXD-vzz]

Gimli too knew. I'm sure he heard of the name Baggins

[@perrycarters3113]

@@michaelktran Gandalf and Elrond are the only two who truly understand the Ring's nature. Anyone with any amount of ambition or shred of darkness in them is a plaything for the ring. Even Aragorn, as honorable and good as he is, would have been crushed by the Ring. The Ring works by feeding on your desires, your wishes and ambitions. It floods your mind with thoughts and promises and images of your ambitions taken to their most extreme. But a Hobbit? A Hobbit has no greater aspiration or ambition than a warm bed, fine company and good food. What images did the Ring show Sam? Mordor being turned into a garden. That's it. That is the darkest, most twisted thing the Ring could pull out of Sam and tempt him with. Because when you want for nothing but the comforts of home and simplicity, the Ring has nothing to grab onto save how beautiful you may find it. It's like trying to climb a sheer cliff face after it rains.

[@pingufanal9455]

The look on Elrond's face. He knows about hobbits. But he never had to deal with one, who actually tried to hide. Throughout the books it is repeated over and over again how stealthy hobbits are. Bilbo probably never hid before the elves and this is the first time in Elrond's milenia of experiences that he got surprised by not one, not two, but three hobbits who even him as lord of the elves with their keen senses could not perceive when they did not want to be perceived.

3:54 Pippin you had no idea what you and Merry signed up for, and glad you did that in the end

[@eoretaspace]

they had great salted pork and longbottom leaf to smoke

[@wolfkniteX]

I only recently started listening to an audiobook of Fellowship and I actually really love how Elrond here says "Nine Companions...." here in the film. For context, in the book, Elrond purposefully sets out to have Frodo accompanied by 8 companions, reasoning that these 9 companions would be a light reflection the 9 Nazgûl and Pippin was originally rejected from joining the Fellowship until he was convinced otherwise. In the film however, when Merry and Pippin join in and declare that they're gonna stick by Frodo through thick and thin, he looks at them and only then realizes that there's 9 of them. Keep in mind that Elrond has the gift of foresight but here in the film he clearly never expected for there to be a group of 9 that would be willing to go save the world and immediately knew that it had to be fate.

[@rexringtail471]

Merry&Pippin: "You'll have to tie us up in a sack to stop us!" Tolkien: "Ah, my most subtle foreshadowing yet"

[@VotingHarmony]

It's so sad that Boromir, was realistically the only casualty out of all them. Everyone else survived but lost(and gained) pieces of themselves. Boromir just wanted to save his people. Hell, he didn't even want to go to the Council of Elrond. He was just a man who wanted to be a hero to his people, and his brother.

[@soorej91]

he was a hero. His death had a significant impact . To Boromir

[@VotingHarmony]

@@soorej91 Well, yeah but he didn't know that. It was his active goal to save his people but he died in the process, probably without knowing if it was all for nothing. He only had faith in Frodo moments before his death when he realized he wronged him. Unfortunately the Ring's urge was too strong

[@Axel1051]

He died a hero. Boromir wasn’t the type to live to a ripe old age before dying in a bed. He was a warrior and I doubt he left the world with many regrets, other than the biggie which indirectly led to his death.

[@ItsSpecialHands]

Frodo was a casualty too. He never recovered from weathertop, never recovered from carrying the ring and never really recovered from Shelob. He didn't die in the sense Boromir did, but Frodo was dead spiritually the moment he was stabbed with a morgul blade

[@ItsSpecialHands]

​@@VotingHarmonythe Ring was too strong for almost anyone. The Hobbits and the Dwarves were probably the only two races who could have handled it. Hobbits do not have lofty ambition and are fundamentally good, simple folk and hard to corrupt and the Rings didn't effect dwarves the way they were supposed to. Though the inherent selfishness of dwarves and their love of Gold would probably have seen them just throw it in a vault somewhere. Gimli could have probably carried it, he was fairly unique in that he didn't have any real lust for treasure, especially after meeting Galadriel, though he also was very likely to lose it in battle

[@eirikhartveit-schee5536]

My favourite thing about this scene is how Gimli, when swearing to join the fellowship, sort of huddles close into Legolas. I like to imagine its way of saying "were in this together now/im keeping an eye on you"

[@Peter_1986]

It is pretty weird to imagine that the full fellowship was only together for a brief moment - they left Rivendell, fumbled around on Caradhras for a while and were like "no thanks", and went through Moria instead, and then Gandalf was lost, and then they never fully came together again.

[@arthaiser]

well... it was 21 days until gandalf parted ways and another 42 until boromir died and the rest were separated, so... not really brief. 28 days after the separation the ring is destroyed, so they stayed together basically 1/3 of the entire mission and more than 2/3s if you dont count gandalf

[@thebatman7347]

I love how Elrond is happy when sam steps in, he knew he was going to go either way he was just waiting then, but he didnt expect the other 2 to come but gandalf gave him a: "I.... dont ask" And elrond was like: olay, so 9 co.panions then

“One does not simply walk into Mordor.” Oh, Boromir, I wish you could’ve seen Frodo and Sam prove you wrong. Maybe you did see it, in Vairë’s tapestries within the Halls of Mandos, before you moved on. I sure hope so.

[@YourHeartIsTheKey]

There is NO movie like this!!! I still get emotional or get goosebumps at this legendary scene!

[@armyypurple4617]

You can see the moment Aragorn's eyes admire Frodo. And the relief and sadness in Gandalf's eyes. It takes a lot of courage and bravery for someone who does not know the fears of the world to take up such a big burden that only leads to death and suffering. And at that time, Frodo haven't actually experience the true power of the ring though he has an idea of it.

[@carlosespadas1022]

Frodo taking the ring was the ring's doing. It used Frodo's wish to have an adventure like Bilbo as a weakness so the most frail, tiny creature would carry it to Mordor.

I love that all of the members of the Fellowship are members of important families or of important stature EXCEPT for Sam. Frodo, Merry and Pippin are all members of well known families in the Shire. Legolas is the son of the king of the Woodland Realm. Gimli is related to Balin the Dwarf Leader. Boromir’s father is the Steward of Gondor. Aragorn is the heir of Isildur. Gandalf is an Istari Wizard. Then there is Sam, who is the “Ordinary man” as Sir Christopher Lee called him, Sam is not from any important background, he is simply a gardener who carries with him the best elements of a living persons spirit.

[@radscorpion8]

In retrospect it was a quite silly for them to expect 7 people to sneak into a mountain gaurded by a sleepless orc army and the ring wraiths. They didn't really have any plan at all, it was basically just to "wing it" and hope they'll figure something out when the time came. Legolas' blind faith claim that this was the only path available to them was completely wrong, and Boromir was right - their quest really would have and should have failed multiple times over. It succeeded only due to a number of divine coincidences, and also the presence of several invincible super weapons like the undead army that could have exterminated the orcs from the entire continent if they were used properly. Its a great movie but as a simulation for how to conduct a war or perform clandestine operations I think it is deeply misguided
