[@miguelamezquita5574]

There is something to be said about Boromir- he fails. He knows he is weak. He knows he's not THE man, but he gives his life to protect Merry and Pippin anyway- in the end, isn't that ALL of us? Not perfect, not above faults, but with the potential to rise above these and do the right thing even if it costs our own life... there's something inherently masculine about that, i think...

I love that Sam, Frodo, and Merry all look very humbled, while Pippin this has "It's about time I get the recognition I deserve" smug smile on his face.

Helps when you remember that Pippin is the youngest Hobbit who's barely an adult by Hobbit standards

[@daanw6270]

Meanwhile pippin was responsible for fucking everything up on more than one occasion 😂😂

[@aaronz1326]

Even the toughest among us find it difficult not to cry at this scene, regardless of whether they made it through the others. We all have a place in our heart where we recognise goodness. This scene captures one of the main themes of the entire trilogy. A good heart, and the strength to be led by it may just be what matters most. In the end, it is hobbits that make the difference, despite inhabiting a world of men, elves, orcs and wizards. Nobody uses authority to convince you of Pythagoras' theorem. You see it for yourself. This scene resonates so, because your heart recognises the rightness of what is happening. This is the ultimate vindication of decency.

Genuinely think this scene is very telling for human nature. We all have felt small at one point. Weak and tiny in a big world that you don't know how to navigate. That is the part that resonates so hard with this trilogy and with this scene in particular. Finally, that tiny person that feels seen, and it's so damn beautiful. Masterful storytelling to the human soul.

[@kaseyboles30]

Many do not realize just how significant this was. A King is not the chosen representative of a country, he the embodied soveriegnity of his country (Ruling Queens as well). If it had been President Aragorn making that gesture it would been a powerfull gesture from the leader of a country. From King Aragorn it's a powerfull honor bestowed by the Kindom. When a president bows, a leader bows, when a King bows a whole Kindom bows. As powerfull as this scene is, knowing that takes it up a notch to me. "My friends you bow to no one". A kings decree binds every noble.And high is place of honor he places these hobbits in.

As king of the lands of the Lost Kingdom of Arnor as well as Gondor, Aragorn declared the Shire a Free and protected land, giving the Hobbits power over who could enter their lands. Some of the details they couldn't include from the books just add so much more weight to things.

And suddenly they're the tallest people around but they have no idea how to take it in. You can have great & powerful advisors like Gandalf, great & powerful commanders such as Aragorn, Elrond, Theoden, amazing soldiers like Faramir, Eomer, Legolas & Gimli but without your basic soldiers like Frodo, Sam, Merry & Pippin you have nothing. Against all odds it's your least likely comrades who will end up doing the amazing feats & this scene would've made J.R.R. Tolkien proud

[@RobEmmer412]

I love the power of movies. Things like Lord of the Rings and Marvel and DC were the exclusive realm of children and the outcasts and nerds for decades and then movie adaptations of them came along, along with universal loves like Star Wars and Trek, and made them beloved by everyone like they always should have been. I'm so glad nerd has become mainstream.

[@johnbardy373]

I had to appreciate EOM's reaction. It's no bad thing to go with a powerful moment in a movie this great. I feel the urge to stand in reverence for the scene in which Luke sets fire to his father's funeral pyre at the end of "Return of the Jedi", so I can definitely relate. Much respect, sir! :)
