Top 5 Speeches In The Lord Of The Rings

[@EverythingInMiddleEarth]

Check out the amazing LOTR MERCHANDISE in the Description

[@GoodOldDaysGaming]

The older I get, the more scenes from this trilogy bring me to tears no matter how much I try to fight it. Not sure why it didn't do that when I was younger. I think it's from experiencing greater loss and pain, and friends who are no longer here - stuff I never could've foreseen or understood as a kid.

[@EverythingInMiddleEarth]

so true

[@Polarisk2106]

Same bro same

[@rachelb1502]

Same, I was only 10 when the first film came out but now it seems every time I watch it I get more emotional as I can relate more to pain and loss. Sounds so cheesy, but these films have helped get me through when I've been in the darkest places of my life

[@orvarurjonsson3528]

I hear you

[@ronaldduquette9545]

The truth is, each of these speeches speaks to a common theme - courage and hope in the face of apparent hopelessness and fear. Understanding the philosophical and intellectual background of Tolkien, as a devoted and life-long Catholic and a student of Anglo-Saxon, this is what he wanted us to understand about this "history" he was writing. The power of these speeches, however, is a combination of the character (and actors) delivering them - you want to follow Gandalf, you want to follow Theoden King, you want to follow Aragorn - I truly believe we all have a visceral response to leadership "brightly shown" - and again, culturally, spiritually, we all want to hope, even when things seem darkest, that as Gandalf says, (and I paraphrase), "there is a shining shore, and a green land beyond." What Tolkien's most brilliant achievement as a writer is, is to touch that aspect in each of us.

[@sce2aux464]

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” - Faramir

[@tAkaNd243]

You've misquoted this.

[@yannatoko9898]

It looks correct to me, all the words that are written there are right - it is only missing a little appending " the city of the Men of Númenor." at the end, after a colon of course.

[@Jacob-qz9fo]

[@jonathanbradley4896]

Faramir got done dirty by the films, as did his brother. I get they wanted a bit of drama with him taking Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath, but it kind of hurt his character. Book Faramir was very wise and humble, and he wanted nothing to do with the ring at all. If the War of the Ring never happened I think Faramir and Boromir ruling togther would have ruled Gondor very well, as they would have the wisdom and humilty of Faramir combined with Boromir's strength.

Sean Astin was barely nominate for any awards for his performance in these films. IMO that's arguably the biggest snub in movie history. He makes these films.

[@EverythingInMiddleEarth]

I know its a joke that he didn't win anything

[@xqiuvmah]

I still think that gollum should have won an oscar, he was snubbed because the Oscars don't know how to embrace new technology. The actor who played the elephant man won an oscar for his performance despite being completely covered in makeup, why couldn't Andy serkis? If you watch the behind the scenes he gives 150%in every single scene

[@VintageCardinal]

I can't like your comment enough. Sean Astin got robbed big time.

[@ronaldduquette9545]

It has been argued, and convincingly, that Sam is the true hero of the trilogy. He carries the Ring, and yet is not affected by it. He WILLINGLY gives it back to Frodo, and is accused falsely by Frodo of wanting to keep it for himself. He does everything he can - protects Frodo, carts the stuff around, distrusts Gollum at every step of the way - to make the task succeed. What is not to like about the hobbit? And Astin's performance was superb.

[@kristinal-ghoul2680]

@@ronaldduquette9545 agree 100% --Sam is a true hero--and Frodo tells him so in the book. He admits that he wouldn't have gotten very far without Sam! Also, Sean Astin was PERFECT in this role.

[@kaylenjohnson8325]

Frodo : I can't do this, Sam. Sam : I know. It's all wrong By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam? Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.💗💗This speech will never die and the films won’t either

[@EverythingInMiddleEarth]

Sam's speech was "meta" before meta was a thing. Sam and Frodo are aware they are in a story, which is part of a longer story and still part of story telling in the grand scheme. It's like breaking the fourth wall without actually breaking it.

[@andrewhodyss9092]

@@jonathanskulsky6631 the world is identical to middle earth, you gotta decide to actually go in and destroy that which is destroying you, (ring for frodo's case,or for me, guilt and regret for sins I've done repeatedly even when knowing they were wrong) and then put in the work, while whatever is destroying you destroys you more and tempts you to stop and embrace it(the ring tempting frodo to put it on, or for my case stop praying to God or doing soccer practices) then the times when you fall into temptation not to give up and realize that all your failures show is how much you hate your "ring" (whatever it is that you want or want to be rid of i.e the ring, drug addiction, laziness, or wanting to be a smarter student or maybe a better person) and then finally when presented with the chance to finally destroy it, you have to either Ask God to help you and you will then have the strength necessary to finally become or be free of whatever it is you are looking for, and with that strength either go back to what destroys you, or what will make you. (Destroy the ring and save urself from becoming like gollum or keep it) or you can try and destroy the ring yourself, hope that u won't fail, and regret it forever because in the end your not strong enough *alone* to defeat that which has such a strong hold on u -sent from someone who once was just like you, wanting to be in middle earth ,until I realized my life was the exact same as Frodo's , especially during these difficult times. I was just hating my failures and wanted to destroy it, like frodo hates the ring and wants to destroy it.

[@brittanyb.singer]

I like that that even got to Gollum - go Sam!!!

[@wctrqn]

Frodo wouldn't have made it without Sam. Sam's the hero, I say. He was the light when darkness fell. On the slopes of Mt Doom, when Frodo collapsed, the way he talked about the Shires - "it'll be spring soon....the birds will be nesting... And eating the first of the strawberries with cream..." then he picked Frodo up And carried him. "I can't carry IT for you, but I can carry you." Powerful scene & speech. Brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I've seen it.

Great music too! V emotional

[@Qaztar44]

[@kaister901]

sweiland75 Well how bad can going to sleep be? A long sleep. It's often the fear of not being able to continue living or the regret of not having lived enough. That makes it weary. I think gandalf's speech to frodo is words to live by. What you do with the time given to you is what that matters.

[@stan2703]

Elrond : "If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you, no comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death an image of the splendor of the kings of Men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell bound to your grief under the fading trees until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent." This has got to be one of the most poetic, most moving speech I've ever heard. I'd put this in a top 5

[@tomosborne4702]

Agreed. Even if in making it Elrond was utterly wrong.

[@ilcorvo9559]

[@zlinedavid]

I love Arwen’s counter to this even more. “I looked into your future and I saw death.” “But there was also life. You saw there was a child. You saw my son.” As an immortal elf, maybe that doesn’t resonate as much as it should with Elrond, but it should to any parent who has ever heard those lines. We will all die eventually, but our children and what we can teach them are what we leave behind, and in a sense, transcend death itself.

[@joedemelfie5509]

The best speech of all tolkien middle earth lore if from the hobbit book from galdalf talking to galadriel in Rivendell... sauruman believes it is great power that keeps evil at bay but that is not what I have found... it's is the small things done by ordinary people. Simple acts of love and kindness that keep the darkness at bay. Ask me why I chose the hobbit biblo. It is because I am a afraid and he gives me courage. ... what a truely magnificent line tolkien wrote for a world healing from the world wars that tore it apart. How to prevent and keep evil at bay. Not a great threat of army to punish. But simple everyday acts of love by ordinary people in a society that stop people from giving into hate and malice. Truely epic. God bless. :)

​@@joedemelfie5509 Very beautiful speech, but it was not in the book. It was not written by Tolkien, but made for the movies. But it certanly captures the essence of Tolkien's message very well

They instilled into my dad at an early age a deep love for stories filled with virtues and noble characters. They were vastly influential to him as he grew up and he absolutely loved reading and his passion grew to incorporate tv shows and movies. Do I think Grandpa Jimmy would be interested in the whole middle earth thing with orcs, goblins, and hobbits? No probably not. But I do think he would have loved the characters and the acting, the wonderfully told story, and the inspirational courage depicted in them. Rest In Peace Grandpa Jimmy and Grandma Audie.

Gollum’s face after Sam’s speech is so underrated. His facial expressions show utter sadness in his knowledge that he’s beyond the good in the world that Sam is talking about. Genius !

[@Islandkid679]

I dont think that he is beyond the good, rather he doubts that he can return to it. Seeing as he is carrying a lot of guilt from his original sin of killing his brother Deagol, which consequently allows his Gollum persona to have greater control over his psyche, the continued presence and kindness of Frodo allows Smeagol to be redeemed in a small way...until they were captured by the Rangers, which allowed Gollum to return and undermine the bond of trust that was growing.

[@Uninspiredradio]

The way I see it, Gollum could never truly be saved. His body and mind destroyed. If Frodo did not have the strength to destroy it, neither would Gollum have truly turned for the better. In the end it was chance the ring was destroyed, just as it was found.

[@jonathanskulsky6631]

@@Uninspiredradio I think smeagol could have been saved from gollum if the ring were destroyed and smeagol shown compassion then maybe he could have been reintegrated into the shire or left to enjoy life anywhere be it catching fish or something of that sort heck who knows maybe gandalf has a mind wipe spell he could have used and smeagol would forget his past and be able to live a normal life again, but sadly we shall never know as we got what we did and there is nothing wrong with that but as for smeagol i dont think we can say with 100% certainty he is beyond redemption

[@eugenelum4415]

If Smeagol survived, Does it mean he gets to sail alongside Frodo and Bilbo to the undying lands? Since he is also a 'ringbearer'. I thought that, there, he could finally recover from the ring's influence. buuuut. yah, he's gone. He looked up at that hope, and downwards... the guilt.... and then gollum returned in the next scenes. somehow reminded me of myself at times. of guilt of hopelessness at times.

[@robertmudriczki7055]

Bernard Hill was amazing in these films. His speech at the Battle of Pelennor Fields is for me the best of the trilogy. To face a square mile of monstrous vile creatures with an army made up of tribes and have the mind to give clear instructions and motivation whilst leading from the front is amazing. Perfectly depicts how the courageous non-Dunedain men, who lived your typical real world human life, felt a sense of destiny and purpose in their shorter lives which was more inclined to deeds then seen as tied to the earth's lifespan (as with the Elves). Theoden was driven by a thorough belief that his actions in life would somehow be judged against those of his ancestors, both by his kinsmen and by a force in the afterlife.

[@josephstewart2821]

He really does get a lot of great lines - the sort that most other fantasy movies would reserve for their main hero, not a secondary character, just shows how much depth the lord of the rings had!

[@josephstewart2821]

Also the rousing spirit he shows in return of the king is in stark contrast to his pitch black monologue in two towers where he convinces us all that we are about to bear witness to the doom of his entire people.

[@Hugo_d_boss]

@@josephstewart2821 thats the best thing about his character. He represents man, not infallible, prone to despair and feelings of hopelessness, and that makes his charges in Return of the King even more epic because you know it is pure courage! Aragon, who is a brilliant character in his own right, never really shows proper fear which is why I find theoden more relatable.

[@RadarHillGoogleGuru]

Gotta weigh in on this one... yes Bernard Hill was amazing. I personally love his speech during the mustering of the Rohirim: "We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor." "No. We cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless." Boo-ya! Also, with the death of his son "No parent should have to bury their child." What a range this man has.

It moves me to hear of the encouragement you've had from this scene. Tolkien certainly wrote from a Christian perspective, and I would simply encourage you to look to the one Lord who is able to truly give you what you seek, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Christ, who sits at the right hand of the father in heaven. He is the only wise and true king who really will return, the ultimate Return of the King, to take his seat on the throne and rule over the whole earth, ushering in a golden age the like of which mankind has never seen. May we meet in his kingdom.

And they will be sowing the summer barely in the lower fields... and eating the first strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?” Frodo : ”oh sam, i cant recall the taste of food nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. Im naked in the dark, theres nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my wakibg eyes.” Sam : ”then lets get rid of it, Once and for all. I cant carry the ring for you, BUT I CAN CARRY YOU!

[@onetruehaldir9059]

Good videos, personally I think Theoden's speech at pelanor fields should have been within the top 3, either way they are all brilliant speeches

[@EverythingInMiddleEarth]

thank you and its such a tough decision

[@dessertstorm7476]

Theoden had all the best lines in the trilogy. When I first saw it I was about 20 and didn't really like Theoden, he was insecure, flawed, old. but rewatching it recently, I found him to be a much more interesting character than the invincible one dimensional Aragorn or Legolas. The Two Towers lines "fell deeds awake" etc, was brilliant too, but not long enough to be considered a speech. This clip from pelanor fields is amazing, especially the emotions of Eowyn and pippin. They are on the edge of terror and panic, something you don't see from any of the other battle hardened main characters in the fight. Theoden's speech stirs them into a kind of suicidal, fearlessness. Also the musical climax of ROTK.

[@JohnyAngelo]

Théoden's speech brings me chills down my spine each and every single time. Bringing up the courage within when all hope is gone and lost is one of the aspects that made him the leader the people needed to face that desperate hour. My God, this trilogy is just amazing; even after all these years I never get tired of it, and as I grow up I find more meaning to it, both in the books and the movies. I think, just like Sam, I think I do understand, I know now why they have remained in the hearts of people for so long.

[@jackmcgurk1945]

Not mentioned; My favourite speech is Lord Elrond's speech to Arwen, he made her ponder the consequence she would face should she dare give her heart to a mortal man. But upon hearing the shadows of his words, she realized she wants to love a mortal man and no matter how deep and dark places your heart has to offer, she figures it's pointless to have a heart if you can't feel its' every corner that makes life feel worth living, and based on her decision, a rogue man's heart was found and given by himself to her and Gondor had been returned a King and a Queen and the fate of Middle Earth was changed
