Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd | LOTR Panel | CC Liverpool

[@4eyesinthecorner399]

They’ve been running this gig for over 20 years and are still so courteous to fans and answering questions that they’ve probably been asked a million times before - a true testament to how impactful these films and this experience was for them.

[@saltedllama2759]

I'm not sure they really get worn out about it, because as actors, they have all gone on to do different projects in TV, cinema, and theater ever since. They have had to get their heads into different roles and characters and settings, while also having families at home. They all split up from each other for a while, but the 20th anniversary of Fellowship in 2021 brought many of them back together and it has been like watching them relive memories for the first time. We as fans can be focused on the universe, watching all of the extras over and over again, and feeling (constantly) immersed in that world, but again, as actors, they have had to get their headspace into very different worlds. For them, this probably feels like...there and back again.

Also they are being paid…

[@Digitalsapien]

@@coppershark1973 If being paid drives your decision making, I feel sorry for you.

[@MycketTuff]

Part of being an actor is being a good actor, the other huge part that is often overlooked is being cast properly. Not only for the raw skills but for the energy you bring on and off set. Very few people have the capacity of knowing how to bring the right people together. Same goes for running a business. Sometimes it's worth taking the less ambitious or less skilled worker just because they bring good vibes to the rest. Which can mean they instead work harder than they normally would, or that stress is lowered in the group. Peter Jackson and any others that had input who to hire for the trilogy absolutely nailed it.

I just don't understand why he's not so enjoyed in modern times. The series Dirk Gentlys Holistic Agency was a riot but didn't go for a 3rd season. And he's a great actor but even me I can't remember the other movie I watched him in.

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

I mean they gave us all something really magical and timeless which I am sure was the high point of his life. Age has a way of driving people apart and when you get the opportunity to see old friends like this, especially when you shared in creating something so special, yeah…you take the opportunity to linger.

To Sean's credit, I always thought that Sam was scared of giving the ring back to Frodo, not that he wanted it for himself. Even when my dad told me otherwise.

[@zerowheeler]

Yeah it came through that he wanted to protect Frodo. 💚

[@Lucrei.]

I think it ultimately made for a more powerful and interesting moment, because to me it's a bit of both.

[@greenhealer7136]

Exactly too..my first thought was he was wanting to protect Frodo and therefore he was hesitant in giving back the ring....not once did i think Sam wanted it for himself...thats not who Sam is..

13:45 Out of everyone tempted by the ring, Sam's trial was the only one where his emotions were drawn to concern for the ring's effect on Frodo. Sam does not lust after the power of the ring at all, but rather he wanted to keep carrying it to protect his friend. Really touching moment.

I was 9 when fellowship came out and I remember it was in the cinemas at the same time as the first Harry Potter film. I loved HP so much that my Dad took me to see it a second time but when we were buying the tickets he suggested we watch this new Lord of the rings film. I thought it looked rubbish so we went in for Harry Potter round 2, blissfully unaware of what I was missing out on. A couple of weeks later my friend and his Dad were going to see LOTR and they invited me along. I remember going and expecting to be bored. Turns out that cinematic experience was to become one of the highlights of my life that I still vividly remember over 20 years later. No other film has blown me away the way fellowship did. What a film.

[@howvery_]

i was maybe between 7-8 and i remember vividly kids on my school bus trying to convince me elijah and daniel were the same person and no one believing me when i said no hahah (i was also a big hp fan, saw the 2nd movie twice in theatres i think around that time lol ur comment brought back memories)

[@jbTHEunpreticable1]

"Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!" 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. Eomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first eored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Theoden 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 "Orome" the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. RIP Bernard Hill.

I'm not sure they really get worn out about this reunions, because as actors, they have all gone on to do different projects in TV, cinema, and theater ever since. They have had to get their heads into different roles, characters, and settings, while also having families at home. They all split up from each other for a while, but the 20th anniversary of Fellowship in 2021 brought many of them back together and it has been like watching them relive memories for the first time. We as fans can be focused on the genre, watching all of the extras over and over again, and feeling (constantly) immersed in that universe, but again, as actors, they have had to get their headspace into very different worlds. For them, this probably feels like...there and back again.
