I love that Christopher Lee knows exactly what is written on the ring in black speech. really shows how much Tolkien's universe meant to him. I'm so happy he got to play a role in the movies.

as well if you know that that Christopher Lee read the book once per year and was hit as he found out wch charakter he is playing he change the charakter multiple times as he said that is not book acurad and he would never led the professor Tolkin down and he is the only one of the cast that meet tolkin in persona

@@mikeh3240 well english is not my first language so i try to write it simpler so you can understand it better christopher lee had a mantra where he reread the lord of the rings books himself every year so he made a lot of changes to the script because it didn't do justice to his version of tolkin plus he was the only person from the whole cast who met professor j r r tolkin himself and wanted to push through the version of a good movie that's also the reason why he knows the ring lines so well because he knows or rather knew almost every passage in the book by heart

2:31 I made a video about this scene a few years ago. The parts you are a bit uncertain about (mmbi... shara, (inaudible) sherkuk) are actually "Nubin sherkuk" ("I smell your blood") in both cases. It's from the text The Treason of Isengard. There's a ton more specifically tied to the Ring. You can hear it whisper "Zigur" when it shrinks in Isildur's hand and the moment where Frodo and Gandalf get startled by the noise it makes.

My interpretation from the books has lead me to believe the Orcs and Uruk-hai who came from the Orthanc who captured Merry and Pippin were charged by Saruman to bring the ring to him, and not to Dol Guldu so that he could take the power from Sauron, and because of that I think “Wizard” may be the correct word in black-speech during The Two Towers. I also think Gandalf eludes to the corruption that the ring holds and his fear of it’s power and influence to even Wizards during the “Don’t tempt me Frodo” scene early in The Fellowship of the Ring. I mean he does wield Narya one of the 3 rings of the Elves Also this is a wonderfully done video and I love your work.

One of my favourite bits of speech is when Aragorn faces Sauron through the Palantir and Sauron recites the elven poem and after he finishes he talks in black speech (can’t remember what he says) but when he’s speaking the poem in elvish it sounds softer and when he goes to black speech it’s so much harsher

I just went back and listened and I'm assuming you mean right after Azog says "attack the city"?

The Nampat thing is really interesting when you think of real languages. In Spanish there are different words for what KIND of ☠️ it is: muerte=dead/death--morir=to die--matar=kill/(to)kill The root is the Latin word Mort(death) English also uses it and many other Latin words ex: Mortal/immortal/mortuary So I love writers that invent languages for their worlds, it's earlier in the LOTR timeline etc so super interesting to think about the root words/how they evolve later

7:25: Why not both? If the word initially meant "take back", then it could be used to describe the process of Mandos taking souls of the dead back to his halls; ergo, dying. It's not a huge leap of reason to assume that at some point this word started being associated more specifically with being taken to the land of the dead, finally taking over as the general term for "death". I know, it's a bit stretched, but not impossible.
