The Hobbit: Bilbos Speech - Why did you come back?

The Hobbit - Bilbos Speech - Why did you come back?
Thorin Gandalf and company escape off and out of the mountain only to find Bilbo is not with them. To their surprise moments later, after Thorin says he knew he would run, to the joy of many in the company, some wondering how he escaped (not yet knowing about the ring). Thorin asks Bilbo why he came back. Biblo replying that he thinks of his home because that's where I belong, and that is why he decided to come back, because they don't have one.
Finding the ring is a BIG turning point in Bilbo's fortunes and bravery.
This is also in the scene a point where the dwarves begin to respect the Hobbit far more, and becomes a stronger character, the ring sort of helps that. Gandalf is right to bring him along after all. :)

That's why I'm so disappointed in Battle of the Five Armies, when they deleted the scene where just when it looks like Bard is on the brink of giving up during the battle within the city of Dale, Bilbo helps encourage Bard to keep going on living by planting the acorn he took from Beorns garden and planting it in the city square, illustrating Gandalf's point about Hobbits and Bilbo, that the simple folk with kind hearts and acts of love are the best hope against the darkness. Nah, we need more extra scenes with Alfrid, or Grima Wormtongue 2.0! Oh, and more shoehorned in scenes of Legolas, 'cause remember, he's gonna be in Lord of the Rings! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️Studios, man.

When Bilbo chooses to return to the group I can't help but think of Sam's line from The Two Towers. "Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turnin' back only they didn't." Bilbo had all the chance to head back to Bag End only he stayed with the dwarves. The courage of hobbits never ceases to amaze me.

You also have to keep in mind that this is probably the first instance since Erebor was taken from them that anyone actually offered them sincere help.

It was just there and still a very profound friendship, it's just amazing for me, PJ did this entire movie just very well! ^^

Martin Freeman deserved every award he got for his role as Bilbo Baggins. The movies didn't follow the book in every detail but so what?

[@BigBWolf90]

Hobbits will always surprise you. Simple folk they may be but they don't stop when they're set to a task. They will long for the comforts of home but will press on forward faithfully. Bilbo gave his word to help Thorin and Co return home, Frodo gave his word to destroy the ring, Sam vowed to protect Frodo while Merry and Pippin not only swore to follow Frodo they gave fealty to a king of Rohan and Stewart of Gondor which they faithfully served.

Everyone expected the Hobbit to be some great world-spanning epic like the Lord of the Rings movies, and hate on it because it's small, and niche, and comedic instead of serious. What they're forgetting, though, is that the book itself was small, and niche, and comedic instead of serious. I absolutely loved the Hobbit movies.

[@mykull1090]

Ben Stott (Balin) has a fantastic piece of acting right here in this scene. He's in the background and not entirely in focus, but he's hanging on Bilbo's every word, just as interested in his response to Thorin's question as Thorin is (even though we don't see him [Thorin]). And the slow spread of Balin's smile as Bilbo tells him, "But I will help you take it back if I can," completely validates the trust that Balin always had in Bilbo to begin with is perfectly timed as though Balin (Stott) didn't know those were the exact words that Bilbo (Freeman) were going to say. Yes, a great speech and I give great credit to Martin Freeman for his delivery of them, but I would just like to take this moment to applaud Ben Stott for his great performance, too.

[@waldoman7]

Tolkein's works have always been about the strength of the meek but loving. They are quintessentially christian, raising love above the masculine virtues, above all other virtues, and they are so brilliantly written that a person can not deny that there is real truth in them. I am not Christian but in Tolkein I still find testimony to the existence of the spiritual.

[@fbiuzz]

Not complaining. But please don't bring religion into the comment section..might start some wars..

[@waldoman7]

I will not have truth censored or silenced because some people have bad attitudes. I happen to find Christianity abhorrent in fact, but I love LotR and respect Tolkein enough to respect why he did what he did. LotR extolls Christian philosophy and virtue through a means that can be recognized by people of any religion. Would you have me avoid religious discussion on a Narnia vid? These things are ABOUT religion, even if LotR is less preachy and exclusive than Narnia.

[@KingAslan4]

waldoman7 I appreciate what you have said! I myself am a Christian, but what I cherish the most about what I believe in are these beautiful virtues that Tolkein has so wonderfully placed in his books. Love, Courage, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Kindness! We are all in this world struggling together to live our lives as best we can and to fulfill our destinies! God bless you all:)

[@Garthock]

You said it yourself, any religion can understand and respect these the traits and morality of Tolkien's work. So explain again how this is uniquely "Christian?" Sorry. The respect of humility and kindness goes farther back than Christianity. It just seems too convenient for Christianity to just claim every single good attribute of a human being. Christianity didn't create these traits or is even responsible for it. It just adopted them and touted them. In fact, I've always seen Tolkien's work as a direct criticism of depending on superior power or spiritual beings to save you from the brink of hopelessness. It's only in man and the common person that we can find any hope - not in some divine being or some belief in a predetermined fate (the Elves commonly "foresee" the fate of Middle Earth).

Same.

[@myicecream43]

It's he is just an amazing actor and person in general !

I know right!! he's a wonderful personality, and a brilliant comedian!!

Bilbo is husband material

I'd turn gay to get someone like that.

Lol and know one would blame ya :D

[@katarinatorres9675]

You said it! He's so cute and selfless 💕

[@RonisonSouza]

Gandalf knew that Bilbo was with the ring all the time!

[@luisfelipesales07]

No he did not. He couldnt imagine that bilbo had the ring of power.

[@SlasherClips]

But he didn't know this Ring was THE ONE Ring at this time

[@danyakba8244]

Ronison Souza gandalf didn't know the ring of bilbo was the one ring. in the fellowship of the ring book it's related that when he begins to do a research about the story of the ring, he begins to investigate and finally knows what happened to the ring after he got lost in the anduin river, he joins aragorn to hunt gollum and then he tells the rest of the story, by the way no one knew the story of gollum until gandalf started to do his quest and he talks about this in elrond's council.

Ok, i've seen enough, could anyone give this guy an oscar, please? Seriously: His acting is 100 timmes better and charismatic than elijah wood and this is one of too many reasons rating Bilbo baggins as my favourite Hobbit.

men this is the only scene that thorin respected bilbo

[@christianperez7846]

This scene really does it for me. And the scenes leading up are iconic and crucial. But Bilbos speech is so sincere and true. He has all the courage Gandalf wagered for

[@fool-_-9866]

First movie: Bilbo: "I miss my books and my armchair and my garden" Last movie: Thorin: "it's over, go back to your books, and your garden..."

[@Ravenous1990]

Close, but... no. "Farewell master burglar. Go back to your books, and your armchair... plant your trees, watch them grow.."

[@Vikingr4Jesus5919]

Anyone noticed how action scenes get over a million views and scenes like these only around 200.000 views? I'll tell you why! People who see the depth in these stories know that it is not action that makes a story. The real salt of the story comes from little quotes from little people, such as Bilbo, that humble the strong and proud, such as the Dwarves.

[@sinnahkrome7146]

This right here retains the heart of LOTR. The acts of kindness towards your fellow men, unity and courage in the face of fear is the driving points of the originals. If more of the Hobbit films had moments like these I am sure that we would have been treated to something truly special.

[@joshuawillis602]

Sinnah Krome these movies are filled with moments like this you moron.

[@markhunter3533]

I loved this scene, and in my opinion the light of it is a bit different from what many think. Thorin didn't trust Bilbo, that much is a given, but I believe that all the other dwarves didn't think much of him either. Here in this speech, the dwarves, loyal as they are, find a different kind of loyalty. Not one coming from being a follower of the king or from sharing a similar struggle, but one born out of empathy and genuine care for someone that doesn't have any bonds to them. Here when they see this loyalty and genuine care, they feel bad about what they though about Bilbo and truly accept him as a friend.

[@cmw3089]

Agreed, but I believe that Balin, the wise counselor, believed in Bilbo, and saw the good in him. Gandalf wasn't the only character with a "proud papa" look on his face.

[@nicksmiley5810]

Nailed this. Haven’t we all thought of home when darkness encroaches? Haven’t we all thought of our armchair, or our garden? Haven’t we all thought of our friends, which is what this company is? Haven’t we all thought of our companions? Haven’t we thought of that?

[@loveandlucky3]

Excuse me while I cry bc this scene is beautiful af

[@konniemac316]

Martin Freeman owns this role. He captures the emotions greater than anyone I could ever imagine anyone else eclipsing. I like the Gandalf, Gollum, Galadriel, and the Legolas connections to LOTR, but Martin Freeman’s portrayal of a young Bilbo makes these movies.

[@OldBeanUK]

Thorin: He is long gone Bilbo: *I'm about to end this man's whole career*

[@aarongarner4862]

Thorin still was the best character

[@JamesWolffPiano]

It's frustrating to see these films receive so much criticism. For some reason it's now 'trendy' to be a nihilist and hate everything you watch. People seem to forget that The Hobbit was originally a light-hearted adventure for kids/young adults. Is it as deep and nuanced as Lord of the Rings? No, but if you have a problem then take it up with Tolkien. If you simply allow yourself to sit back and get whisked away on an adventure then you'll realize that the films are great fun. I'm not ashamed to say that I honestly enjoyed this trilogy

[@anotherhappylanding4746]

Exactly this

[@MichaelLee-tt7gm]

And 60 years later, at the Council of Elrond, Gloin will remember Frodo's uncle to him as "our friend Bilbo the Renowned." This is why.

[@sisa4514]

The actors are wonderful

[@NickTovA]

- Why did you come back? - 'Cause now i have a magic ring, bitches.

[@Temujin1991]

Very few movies can elicit a feeling from you, but they are the best because of it. This is one such movie.

[@Steel-101]

The main three movie scenes that make me cry 😢 is this one right here with Bilbo, The “I could’ve gotten more” scene in Schindler‘s List, and when Woody says “so long partner” to Andy in toy story 3.

[@melkhiordarkfell4354]

People forget that the Hobbits raised a small army to fight the Witch-King, someone told them: "You all love second breakfast, but all the people ruled by the Witch-King, they don't get second breakfast, or even a first breakfast, it's taken from them".

[@sle_amuj]

That's it. That's the scene. This right here is the essence of why my heart sings the tiniest bit louder for the Hobbit movies than for the LotR ones. I wish more people realised this simple, pure form of humanity; of helping someone lost and uprooted find their home again, even though it would have been so much easier and convenient for them if they hadn't. As much as I love and adore the LotR movies, this quite literally, hits a bit closer to home for me.

[@emilywolf8821]

Bilbo thought a lot of home,and this was the reason that he came was because that the dwarfs didn't have a home.And that he was going to help them reclaim it back.Bilbo thinks of his home because he belongs there,that's why he came back was because the dwarfs don't have one.

[@user-L13]

After hearing what thorin said about him...he could have went back home, safely being invisible, but he didnt, he had that goodness in him to help him, even though they are small they have big heart to do the right thing and that's why Gandalf trust hobbits.

[@cassia-andor6445]

Sometimes I think he wanted to prove Thorin wrong, but I usually truly believe what he said; although, wanting to prove Thorin wrong was probably part of it. Most people aren’t going to stick around when the main guy is an ass to you constantly, no matter how well everyone else treats you. Thorin wasn’t really toxic, just stubborn, untrusting of anyone he didn’t know and determined, and for the longest time not realizing that he was falling down a toxic path. Sometimes you need a friend there to humble you, remind you that the world isn’t all bad.

[@alandawe8025]

In that moment, gandalf realised he pulled a master stroke getting bilbo on board with this quest .

[@Rusky14]

This movie gets better with every viewing. I didn't like it at first but five viewing in and it's become a favorite.
