The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

***
"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold."
Lord of the Rings is an important franchise. It made so many people childhoods, inspired many stories. I do believe that without these wonderful books and movies, we would not have as many stories around today. The movies are massive, I had to chose what to explore and obviously had to let some stuff behind.
I hope you guys will enjoy it.

It's unfortunate they put the Hobbit through the wringer just to make a much money as possible. What could have been a fun prequel (1 or 2 films max) got dragged out to 3 trying way too hard to be as epic as LOTR. Proportionately, if the Hobbit is 3 films, LOTR needs to be 6-9 films. That's just not reasonable.

"In his heart, Frodo begins to understand, the quest will claim his life." I notice that almost everyone disregards this line in the end because, well he doesn't really die.. does he? But that's not the point. When you think about it.. once the war was over, once the ring was destroyed and the evil of Sauron along with it.... he went home. But things weren't the same anymore. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't go back to his ways. The wounds from his journey, physically yes, but mostly mentally, hurt too strong. So... he left Middle Earth.. and like Frodo said himself: "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold." The quest DID claim his life.

This is what Game of Thrones was trying to be and failed to do so. splendid job, brother

[@addestj9535]

[@charliecoke7396]

Actually it tried to be the exact opposite. It killed off characters and made a point that they didn't come back, mostly because George R.R. Martin loved the Gandalf died but hated that the book basically removed any cost of his death. Game of Thrones is about the socially powerful who, on their own, can do very little whereas Lord of the Rings was about legendary one men armies with very little political pull. Most importantly though Game of Thrones is about the shades of grey that mankind creates to fuel our own petty wars whereas Lord of the Rings is about how some things are inherently evil and some things are inherintly good and how people overcome that evil. Game of Thrones is a political drama, Lord of the Rings is an adventure. The two are, purposefully, totally different.

I have yet to find a movie trilogy or any trilogy for that matter that evokes the same feelings as that of the lord of the rings. The feeling of longing and nostalgia for a place I have never visited and people I have never met. And yet somehow I feel as though I have been to middle earth and that I too have traveled with the fellowship. They leave me with a desire to fight for good and peace in the world, to never give up, and to have my own adventures. They have inspired me to believe in hope, perseverance, friendship, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Every time I finish watching these movies I am left with a deep sadness that I cannot be part of that world. Lord of the rings will always have a very special place in my heart.

A thought or two, for what it’s worth: Tolkien’s vision includes the dark things as well, and our world wouldn’t be complete without them. Why? It is only in the presence of the dark things that we learn who we truly are and for what our hearts ultimately yearn. This is because in the presence of the dark things, humanity is forced to make a choice about who and what they will follow eternally. We must have that purgative journey to become Children of the Light. In life, then, our purpose is the journey; how each of us defines ourself when faced with “the dark Lords” of this world. That is why in Christian thought, although Evil has been ultimately conquered, it still remains here in this existence. God uses it to bring about the Good.

I wonder if it was just my childhood innocence that made these movies so magical but when I come back and see stuff like this I'm convinced that they just don't make em like they used to... It even looks better than modern fantasy. So dialed in on the art direction...

A masterpiece. All the shots, music, just everything about this video is perfection. My new favorite video. FOR FRODO

[@MaddyWinkel]

Like a lot of us, this movies mean a lot for me. I was only a teenager when the movies were released, but they deeply marked me, and for life! Thank you slyfer for reminding me of that. Your work is an masterpiece, always 😊

[@JorxiiProductions]

This MASTERPIECE of a trilogy will stay with me forever. It's almost 20 years old, and nothing will ever rival it.

Beautiful video guys, the hardest part must be to pick the right scenes to render the story justice. P.S. Gollum/Smigol is missing, he is an essential character in this story.

[@thefabul1zer949]

Sam picking up Frodo ... Aragorn charging ... the music swelling up ... then Frodo's voice-over ... just perfection. Again your choice of music and scenes is impeccable. Amazingly put together.

[@TheTabletopAlliance]

A tribute worthy of the trilogy!

[@Diet040398]

This gave me goosebumps. To bad the ride of the Rohirrim isn't included though.

[@123bunnys4me]

When Aragorn said "for frodo" and it edits back to same carrying him... Oooooooo boy! I have never gotten more chills in a video before

[@JesseJr19]

This is genius, i don't have any other words. Made me want to watch the movies all over again!

[@DaGraysGaming]

I would love to see one based of the inspiration that the line “My friends... you bow to now one,” gives off.

[@SajinGeorge]

Those days, watching these movies with CD's were the best days of my life. Every 90's kids can relate ❤️

[@SimonBauer]

7 minutes ago.. just got my coffee and breakfast.. time to enjoy this one!

[@madisonholtze7344]

The Lord of the Rings movies are my favorite movies of all time. You did them justice and captured their essence. Thank you.

[@BrothersuKnow]

Truly a masterpiece! Finally an amazing video portraying this wonderful trilogy

[@Haaris.Qureshi]

It's a testimony of how much Lords of the Rings is a masterpiece of visual storytelling in that you can make an 8 minute montage of film series which is like 11 hours long and you still manage to accurately depict the primary story beats of the series as well as some of the emotional ones.

[@Vurti0]

it's just impossible for me to forget the greatness of this epic journey. A modern Myth. To me there is no doubt. Thank you.

[@MAGNUM2F]

I'm a big fantasy/star wars fan. Indeed, my favourite stand alone film of all time is The Empire Strikes Back and always will be. Nothing will change this for me, nothing! However, lotr viewed as a single 11hour + movie, which is what it is, is unbeatable. Lucas, cameron, Spielberg and Scott, some of the greats, will never ever better this, or even have the opportunity to try. When we participate in these polls for greatest movie ever, we need to look at these 3 films as a single entity. Lets be honest, this is never ever ever ever! gonna be bested. In terms of budgets, the wonderful scenic settings, the effects, storyline, music score and acting, this should be everyone's fave movie of all time. I watch the extented versions of these, every 2/3 years and never tire of them. What we have here is what's known as perfection.

[@nihilistsoul8610]

From 5:10 it hit me once again why I love Lotr, why I read all the books and studied the lore and why I love Tolkien’s work so much, you are the best editor on yt

[@mirceanicula9198]

I watch it every year and it never gets old. The more you undersand it, the deeper the mistery gets. A story for the ages

[@WorthyEdits]

This was phenomenal, a master piece put together to perfection. Well done once again Slyfer for creating another piece of art on your channel ❤️

[@SG98Films]

I had been commenting on pretty much all his videos for like a year and a half begging for this. Thank you Slyfer. I'd only mention that Theoden's speech before Pelennor Fields and a little from Gollum would have made it even better

[@slyfer2812]

I did not mention it in the description but since the movies are old I couldn't use as much as quote I expected due to the music in the background. :) Thank you for the comment!

Great respect for this edit my man. The Lord of the Rings will always be incredibly special, groundbreaking and captivating. There is nothing like it. And I think there will never be anything like it again. So glad to have this in my life...

[@CrAZychicke]

Happy 20 years Fellowship. Gotta love rewatching the extended editions every christmas.. one of my fav trilogies. This is AMAZING. I cry every time I see Boromir fighting for the little ones.... so many amazing quotes that I'll remember forever.

[@JDzAlive]

Few journeys ever end, that are remembered so fondly. Even when bittersweet. The books beloved as a child and the movies beloved also, by my child as well, captured wonderfully here. The burden and the comfort of friendship, the pain and joy brought by love, and the sacrifice and encouragement brought by loyalty. All in here! Super job!

[@seanbyrne7927]

“For Frodo” such a powerful scene. The mouth of Sauron has just revealed Frodo’s mithril vest and Aargorn is not certain whether Frodo is dead or alive but it does not matter; “For Frodo” works either way. If he’s dead then don’t let his sacrifice be in vain and if he’s alive then let us give him one final chance.

[@MythosGreer]

More than ever, we need The Lord Of The Rings.

Sauron is a dick though.

Literally just watched the trilogy today for the first time, extended editions, it was so good. It was what Game of Thrones wanted to be so bad lol

[@benjwilliams98]

Great... another Lord of the Rings video I'm going to re-watch over and over again because it made me cry!

[@noldo3731]

2:36 There are always tears in my eyes of these words of King Theoden.

[@SharpDesign]

Viggo/Aragorn, most badass because of how much happened to him behind the scenes

[@Menhtrol]

The only thing i would say that would make this better is the speech of Theoden before the Ride of the Rohirrim

[@brandeeno2846]

My mom always cuts onions downstairs when I watch videos like that.

[@Tonycillian5]

That intro gave me chills Greatest trilogy of all time period
