Every Line in LOTR is perfect. I now try to read other stuff, and they can be good books. But they always seem to have one issue or another. One author can be brilliant in creating tension but is real crap at writing love parts or realistic women. Others do nearly everything perfect, but the main characters are either a bit dull or are going through such hardships there never seem to be a win. (I'm looking at you farseer) Tolkien had everything. Nobody beats the original. All opinions are of course subjective. But i think many who read fantasy can agree on this. It is still on the top rankings of book sold even 60+years after it's release. I highly doubt we will say the same about current fantasy epics in 60 years. LOTR is a masterpiece on the heights with Bethoven or the Mona Lisa.

Fun fact: Melkor, Sauron’s master and the original dark lord although easily the most powerful of the Valar, he was cursed with one thing no other Valar was. The ability to feel fear. This was ultimately his undoing, and a paranoia that he passed down to his servant Sauron as well. Their fear, anxiety, and apprehension was what ultimately led to both their downfalls. It made Sauron act before he was ready, and rashly. Although weak, the strength of men was tenacious and was able to take advantage of these moments when Sauron overextended himself and his forces out of fear.
@pabloortega20072 жыл бұрын
But that was because the Fall of the Angels (Ainur in Elvish). Melkor, the Lucifer of Tolkien, was able to feel fear because his revolt against Eru, the One True God. The fear only can known by those have fallen in sin and evil, and Melkor, as Lucifer, was the first one

What I love about this scene from the extended edition is that Gandalf helps explain to those who haven't read the books why Mount Doom was unguarded. The idea of destroying the One Ring never entered Sauron's darkest dreams. What he feared the most was someone like Gandalf, Saruman, or even Aragorn mastering the Ring and supplanting him. Plus I love how Gandalf's spirits rise when he learns from Aragorn that Sam went with Frodo.
@zackclark626 Жыл бұрын
That's true, but Mt. doom and mordor would have been far to full of orcs for Frodo and Sam to get through undetected. That's why after the battle of the Palenor fields, Aragorn assembles all of what is left of the armies of men and confronts Sauron in the Palantiri stone that was in Denethor's possession. In the stone he bluffs that he (Aragorn) has the ring and that with it he's coming to Mordor for victory. In reality of course Frodo still had the ring and because his mission was still totally unknown Sauron believed him and drained all of Mordor of orcs to confront Aragorn. Aragorn and all who followed him new they were grossly outnumbered 20 to 1 but it was known that this last distraction was the only opportunity for Frodo to make it safely. This is suggested in the movies but I think it's one of the major drawbacks that Peter Jackson didn't make this more clear for the audience. One thing which is painfully done wrong is there is a scene in the extended edition of ROTK where they show the moment Aragorn confronts Sauron, and instead of besting Sauron's will, Aragorn falls to the ground and drops the Palantir. . . which is just so wrong. I don't understand why they did that, but otherwise the movies are tremendous.

This is true but there’s something else everyone always forgets. Mt. Doom is guarded. There are thousands of orcs stationed right in front of it. Literally the only reason Frodo and Sam got through is because Sauron sent them all to the Black Gate to destroy Aragorn’s army. Between this and the fact that he can’t imagine someone destroying the ring, he just didn’t see the need for placing guards directly in front of the door

Sauron is depicted as pretty powerful and scary even without physical embodiment in the LotR trilogy. But it's what Sauron does in the Second Age - subjugating Numenorean Kings, seducing them with promise of immortality, turning men against one another , starting a Satanic -like death cult that demanded blood sacrifice, that you really understand why he's so terrifying. He's not even a fraction of that in the LotR

Which is sad considering the whole plot hole of the one ring at that time, surely if sauron was in possession of it at the time, Eru would have destroyed it then. Nevertheless one of my favourite stories.
@danjitheman2 жыл бұрын
@@wintax Curious why you think that's a plot hole. If Eru wanted to intervene directly and destroy the One Ring he could have done so at any time, at least most probably. Sauron did have it in his possession and used it with great affect to overthrow and corrupt minds.
@webby22752 жыл бұрын
@@wintax that's actually not a bad point. However you're not the first to think of it and so Tolkien directly addressed it in Letter 211: "I do not think one need boggle at this spirit carrying off the One Ring, upon which his power of dominating minds now largely depended." Sauron was able to carry the ring from Numeor, after it was cast into the sea and the world reshaped, by his spirit, at the same time that he himself escaped to Middle-Earth.

Man, the extended editions of these movies are incredible. Each scene is just so well done. Written and acted well. The relief in Gandalf's voice and tone when he discovers Sam went with Frodo is great. "Good. Yes... very good." Prior to that you could see the doubt in Gandalf facial expressions and tone when he said they must depend on just Frodo, but he had to say it in front of Aragorn in order to show trust and belief in the strategy. You can also see the concern and doubt in Aragorn's face as Gandalf is saying it. However, the moment Aragorn tells Gandalf that Sam went with Frodo, there is immediate relief for Gandalf.

“Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee. And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.” I love Gandalf’s reaction to hearing Sam went with Frodo. He understood that Frodo was going to need someone to keep him on the correct path. To remind him what he was fighting for, as well keeping him fed and protecting him. And after seeing what Sam was willing to do to keep Frodo safe from Gollum, Gandalf made the right choice. I mean, hell, Sam even took the Ring when he thought Frodo was dead. If Sam wanted to, he could’ve finished the mission, but he understood Frodo made the choice to carry the Ring to the end, and was willing to honor his choice, even to the end.

I've recently been reading up on the true ties of the heirs of Arnor & Gondor Aragorns claim has validation but not so much so that he could just waltz into the city and claim it. It was his actions leading the attack on mordor healing the wounded after the battle of pelenor fields and the key to his eventual claiming of the thrown was farmer newly appointed steward supporting and stating the actions of aragorn over the years.

Gandalf clearly knows how important Frodo and Sam are to each other. He probably knew it even before they did. And it occurs to him that Frodo might have a chance of making it if Sam is with him, because Sam keeps him grounded within himself, and it's Sam's influence that builds Frodo's strength to resist the Ring. They're two halves of one whole and Gandalf knows it. Ian McKellen conveys it all in three simple words: "Yes, very good."

It seems to me, gandalf was obviously playing the long game with this entire quest. Movies aside, gandalf was always picking those people usually underestimated by everybody else. In the case of Sam, I think gandalf saw inside Sam the desire to be of service. He was not tempted by the power of the ring the same as frodo, whose identity by the time the book ended became intertwined with the ring. He also saw in Aragorn a desire to be stronger than his forefathers. A quote I remember from a different movie, when you ask to be courageous do you get courage or do you get moments to be courageous? Gandalf I think is the representation of this belief that rather than receiving courage, bravery etc., you are given those opportunities.
