I feel the same. But tbh Aragorns reaction always hits me. Viggo acted his ass of right there. You can see the mix of both pain and disbelief that he just watched one of the most powerful and compassionate "man" hes ever met die right in front of him and he couldnt do anything because he couldnt risk Frodo running out there and getting shot by an arrow since he was the only one with the willpower to carry the ring. That face always gets me.

Gandalf's speech to the Balrog is all the more awesome when you've read the Sillmarillion. "You CANNOT pass!" ('Back off, chump, I'm better than you!') "I am a Servant of the Secret Fire" ('I am a Maiar just like you, I'm already your match.') " Wielder of the Flame of Anor!" ("I also command Narya, the Great Ring of Fire. So I'm your BETTER.") "Dark fire will NOT avail you, Flame of Udun!" ("Your weak pitiful flame is not enough to overcome me and the Great Ring together, servant of Morgoth!") "Go back to the shadow!" ("Just go home, this fight's already over!") "You SHALL NOT PASS." ("I might perish fighting you. You WILL perish fighting me. The one thing you will not do, is pass this bridge.")

@GreyhawkTheAngry Ай бұрын

You're missing a key part of the meaning of his speech: "I am a Servant of the Secret Fire", The Secret Fire = The Flame Imperishable. Gandalf was identifying himself as a Maia (maiar is plural btw) who was acting under the authority of Eru Ilúvatar. Literally God. And at the risk of being nitpicky, while its a somewhat popular theory, the part of the Flame of Anor being Narya isn't definitive, especially in the light of the fact that none of the Three Rings are weapons.

@GuukanKitsune Ай бұрын

@@GreyhawkTheAngry 'Flame of Anor' is one of the nicknames for Narya, because of its ability to repel evil creatures/magics similarly to the light of the sun. (a power Gandalf DEMONSTRATES during this fight) Also I MENTIONED 'Servant of the Secret Fire' and how it means he is identifying itself as Maia. A said 'A Maiar' as in 'One of the Maiar' although perhaps admittedly that's not rightly worded.

@lukasnightmare Ай бұрын

@@GuukanKitsunenot true since this battle was written by Tolkien when he had the idea of sending the three rings across the sea. The flame of Anor is a reference to the sun, the fruit from the trees of Valinor.

@Iluvantir Ай бұрын

@@lukasnightmare Agreed - The Flame or Anor refers to the Sun, specifically to the Maia, Arien (second greatest of all the Maiar) who drives the chariot of the Sun across the sky... who just so happens to be one of Olorin's best mates. Olorin is Gandalf, btw. His Maia name. Narya gave assistance to Gandalf in dealing with fire, but itself was never a weapon. None of the Rings of Power were created as such, all made by the hands of Elves (with all but the Greatest Three made with Sauron's touch). Only the "One" was wholly made by Sauron alone... and even that wasn't a weapon. It was simply a means of control and domination. Narya could "enkindle" hope and resilience, preserve from the effects of Time, fend off the weariness of Time, etc. Gandalf's use of "fire magic" (shown far more in the books) is bolstered by the Narya, but is entirely due to his nature as a Maia aligned with light and fire, who served Manwe, Varda, Irmo, and others of the Valar before being sent to Middle Earth.

I wish that had put this in the film; The dark figure streaming with fire raced towards them. The orcs yelled and poured over the stone gangways. Then Boromir raised his horn and blew. Loud the challenge rang and bellowed, like the shout of many throats under the cavernous roof. For a moment the orcs quailed and the fiery shadow halted. Then the echoes died as suddenly as a flame blown out by a dark wind, and the enemy advanced again. (In case you didn't realize Boromir blew a blast so loud & strong he made a literal demon go "wtf...did he...he really just challenged me?!")

Gandalf is essential an angel but he has to operate by a code. He’s not allowed to use his powers to aid men and other mortals, he can only use his wisdom. The Balrog is an ancient magical beast and so he’s allowed to use his magic to counter it.

@MrBottlecapBill Ай бұрын

..and the nine as well. That's why his magic is mostly low key. The first time he and the valar were in middle earth in their full glory the peoples of middle earth distrusted them and though they were being lorded over and herded like beasts by beings of greater power which caused resentment and many peoples took Morgoth's side because of it. The battle with Morgoth which was a world wide cataclysm scared everyone........even the gods. So they decided to be low key from that point on. Not ueing their power to pressure people but using wisdom and good will to convince them.

What many don't understand is that two characters, besides Boromir, die in the 1st movie. Gandalf and Frodo. Gandalf returns as Gandalf the white, a spirit of sorts; and Frodo started to die the moment he put the ring on his finger. The ending of the 3d movie, the boat ride of Gandalf and Frodo, symbolizes death, that's why Frodo say "you cannot follow" and that is why everyone is crying, because they know.

Brief and generalized context to Gandalf's "Servant of the secret fire," Also, Gandalf and the Balrog are essentially the same beings they just took on different forms. 1. Wielder of the flame of Anor alludes to the Valar and the Eru (God the creator) Basically, no flame is greater than the creator's. 2. Flame of Udun refers to Morgoth (Sauron's master and the fallen Maiar).

I think all the reactors were only watching this demon chasing them. It's like everybody were so engrossed with the majestic Balrog that they forgot about the spear weilding actual villians- the Orcs, who were hiding in the shadows from the Balrog "with spears". Soon after Galdalf fell they were bombarded by spears from every side. This is the very reason Aragon and others couldn't approach and help Gandalf climb back. Even Gandalf didn't want them to save him.

So in the book, the Balrog's whip drags Gandalf right away. He shouts his last order "Fly you fools!" while he's already falling. There's no moment where he clings to the bridge. This was Fran Walsh's & Peter Jackson's addition, yet it's so good! It gives a glimpse of hope, just to be shattered completely. And then Frodo's "Noooo!" and that beautiful sad music, so good, so much drama. I believe Tolkien would have loved it!

This fight would be like if Gabriel (the angel) fought with Mephistopheles (One of Lucifer's Lieutenants). While they are not the leaders of their respective sides so to speak, they are EXTREMELY strong and influential members of their sides.

I'm no structural engineer but a main reason why no one tried to rescue Gandalf is because the dinky bridge had been compromised.

Plus this was before Sam got the elvish rope.

100th comment! The interesting thing going on in this scene is that Gandalf and the Balrog are sort of like old schoolmates, in a manner of speaking. Both were present and participating during the Song of Creation at the beginning of the world, though Gandalf remained true to the vision of Illuvitar (the God of Tolkien's universe) while the Balrog sided with Melkor. While there's no evidence that they were ever friends, they might be said to have known each other in passing, at least. Despite their very different appearances (and size), they are good and evil versions of the same order of being (Maiar).

Just my personal reading of it but maybe I'm off, know tolkien didn't want it to be a one for one metaphor of his religious faith but come on he had some of his religious beliefs through out.

As many people know, Ian McKellen actually messed up the line, as it was written "You cannot pass" not "You shall not pass". An interesting theory is that these were not lightly chosen words by Gandalf, but essentially a command. It's said he was invoking his power as a Maia and asking the Valar to quite literally, make it impossible for the Balrog to cross the bridge.

Gandalf had a vision of his death and he knew when Frodo chose to go through the mountain, instead of continuing to go around it, that his death was imminent. The stricken look on Frodo's face as they stood grieving showed that he realized Gandalf knew how that choice would seal his fate even before they took one step into the mountain.

Think about it from Gandalf's perspective. He's already told them to go ahead. He's literally risking his life so that they at least have a chance to escape. He knows in a fair fight, he can't win, especially in that environment, so he's already willing to die. When he catches the ledge before he falls, he sees all of them watching him. He's probably surprised and even a little pissed off that they didn't go on ahead like he wanted them to. Which is why he calls them fools for watching the fight.

Why aren't you helping him? Just walk towards Gandalf, grab his hands, and pull up both the old man and the ancient demon out of the pit.

Yeah, it's like they don't notice the absurd amount of arrows being fired by the goblins right after

The amount of people confused as to why Boromir won't let Frodo WITH THE RING run across the bridge to help Gandalf is staggering lol. There's no telling if the rest could collapse.

It did collapse moments later in the book. Good call by movie Boromir.

What I find funny is that no one clearly has read the books before watching these movies. If you read the books you would know there is no way Gandalf died. I remember when The Hobbit used to be required reading in high schools and if you read The Hobbit then you would have read The Lord of the Rings as well. Once you read The Hobbit you have to read the other books too.

Movie Pippin: touches an arrow stuck in a dead Dwarf which accidentally causes it to fall causing a loud commotion & everyone loses their shit Book Pippin: *purposefully drops a rock down a well just to hear it hit the bottom thus purposefully causing a massive noise on a stealth mission & no one bats a fucking eye*

Gandalf a Mia known in Valanor has Olorin, a book worn really. Knew he had to Defeat the Balrog of Morgoth or Souron would bath all of middle earth in a second darkness.
