You Don't Have One, A Home, It Was Taken From You, But I Will Help You Take It Back If I Can

The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey

[@thenationalradar8355]

Bilbo showed true strength here. “You don’t have a home, it was taken from you, but I’ll help you take it back if I can” He gained EVERYONE’S respect at that point. He doesn’t have to do it, but he chose to help them.

[@stuartalexander2657]

Brilliant scene

[@Ry-le1cu]

Yep. Wasn’t cause he had to at that point. He chose too, with all the kindness he brought with him. Great scene.

[@freebird264]

“But I will help you take it back if I can.” And just like that, the Dwarves properly accept Bilbo into the company.

[@ThePa1riot]

My favorite part of these movies as it showed something I always treasure in film and art in general; empathy. Here is a humble hobbit comparing his hole in the ground to an exiled would be king's entire mountainous realm, and yet Thorin actually connects with Bilbo for the first time then and feels that the hobbit actually understands at least a little bit of Thorin's pain. Pain he is unable to fully express and share both due to his own stoic nature and the responsibility of setting the example for his followers.

[@theMad_Artist]

Masterful storytelling

[@happyhealsgaming7614]

I do like how Thorin literally looks like he ate his own tongue after saying Bilbo left them, just to see him appear. I love how Thorin looks down for a moment of shame, then back at Bilbo, realizing the hobbit he thought was of no help, had the biggest heart of them all. 10/10 to the acting there.

[@13141Scott]

Bilbo, a hobbit who is content with his lot in life is willing to give it up so he could help the dwarves find theirs. This must have been such a profound moment for the dwarves. After bring turned away by so many this ordinary hobbit is willing to help them in any way he can.

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

To me, Tolkien's work is filled with universal, spiritual, wisdom that touches all peoples of all races, cultures, and locations. That is why his fans love him so much.

[@Nusca93]

It always amazes me... The courage of Hobbits.

[@zachventure5941]

One of my favorite cinematic moments in history. It's one of the few where our hero fully admits that this is out of his control - though that doesn't mean he isn't going to try to help, still. Real stuff there, even in Tolkiens world.

[@cernstormrunner7263]

1:34 every time that music plays my eyes start to tear up.

[@LR-420]

I wish more people were as brave and caring as Bilbo

[@Technoidmania]

the most moving part. Always brings a tear to the eye

[@joemoe974]

Me as well. Brilliantly captured moment of the story.

[@EkaterinaGoldstone]

This scene and the one where Thorin finally fully accepts Bilbo and embraces him after Bilbo saves his life from the Orcs before the Great Eagles come

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

This is the best scene in this movie and gives depth to bilbo

[@madelinegarber7860]

I love this. Bilbo is so empathetic.

[@kimmiepinkie878]

I really loved everyone's performance here, especially Martin's!!

[@Yard_Machine]

Favorite scene in the whole trilogy! Well this and of course the "good morning" scene.

[@2ChainZsensai]

That ring into pocket and Gandalf suspicious look...so nostalgic f Lotr vibe I love PJ's trilogy and Hobbits so much

[@SockTheBop]

The shifts between the different motifs in this scene highlight how much a simple but recognisable tune can affect a scene

[@keithadams7619]

Those stubborn Dwarves were left with absolutely nothing to say to that. Never before had they needed to hear something like that so bad and never known till they heard it.

[@Bronzeflame2489]

I NEVER REALIZED HOW THORIN LIKE LOWER HIS HEAD AND LOOKS AT BILBO WITH TEARY EYES BECAUSE OF MY OWN TEARY EYES WATCHING THIS SCENE BUT DAMN IM CRYING

[@itztimg]

Right? I can just imagine him saying as he's looking at the ground, muttering "He understands. Baggins understands."

[@RedDragonForce2]

Bilbo had a bit of pride in him to stay, but he knew pride wouldn’t win over the Dwarves. This was the first step in Thorin accepting and respecting Bilbo Baggins.

[@alyssacollinwood1057]

I always cherish this scene because of the moment bilbo say I will help you there is a small chance that Thorin becomes a new man.

[@Foebane72]

The Hobbit movies may be flawed, but with moments like these, they're not entirely worthless.

[@jacksonw6742]

god damn this trilogy was so close to greatness

[@trevorthornley8835]

You should check out one of the fan edits.

[@mf5202]

The depth of Tolkien's imagination. Remarkable

[@xshadionytpx7891]

Master Baggins saw his chance and he took it!

[@wezzers84]

This moment captured the essence of the story

[@fedgesmedjji7494]

I love this scene and how it was delivered, maybe the best scene in the hobbit movies. This is the message Tolkien has always been trying to give to his readers, to help others even when it is an inconvenience to you, to do what you think is right for the good of all, to be yourself, and to empathize.

[@jasv49]

1:14 brilliant little use of the Ring theme

[@alextilson9741]

Anyone else think Bilbo's speech is suddenly more relevant?

[@rursus8354]

This is in discord with the book. Thorin didn't suspect Bilbo, and all of them were worried of him missing.

[@nicholascazmay2126]

If only the whole trilogy lived up to the quality of this moment, or even just the first film.

[@infamouscha]

0:05 “WHERE IS OUR HOBBIT!?!?” Gandalf really does love the Hobbits.

[@josejulianmarcialllerenas9889]

They all start blaming each other 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[@schawdaya]

Martin Freeman was born to play Bilbo.

[@WarpRulez]

At least there was an _attempt_ at making a good film trilogy. Just not enough time.

[@jkdbuck7670]

1:58 right on the feels.

[@ephemispriest8069]

You want to make friends with a dwarf? Help them get back something they care about.

[@ALSeth-Storyteller]

Garden. Armchair. And books. You really don't need much to appreciate a home (and those who don't have it).

[@finnmcool2]

That right there is why Bilbo had the respect of all the Free Peoples in Middle Earth. Bilbo is why when Frodo said he would carry the Ring all the powerful people around him just nodded and asked how they could help.

[@alexmohamed9940]

For some reason it is an unpopular opinion but the hobbit was pretty great.

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about them in a short narration, and yet after 6 movies, they can still surprise you.

[@CyberController-]

What this trillogy got wrong, It got wrong. But what it got right, oh boy did it get right.

[@LORDALPHA]

Bilbo remineded them that they are not going for just the treasure, but for the Home that they lost.

[@matbroomfield]

Best scene in the the trilogy. Still moving now. This was the moment that he started to win their respect, and Gandalf knows it. The nuance of his performance, and to a lesser extent to the others. is just incredible. Thorin is still a douche though.

[@robertwelch1341]

I love this movie ❤️ it's a jurney that is adventurous

[@joshuadavidson8793]

Gandalf saw that ring for sure. Haha.

[@user-ox4ro4hw6m]

Martin Freeman single-handedly elevated the trilogy with his face expressions

[@grodo40th]

Thanks youtube, guess I'm watching the whole series again. I didn't have anything major planned this week anyways.

[@badroady]

Yes! Never not gonna love this scene, firmly cemented Bilbo as someone who wasn't in it specifically for the reward in the minds of the dwarves.

[@all_your_baser_belong_to_us]

A great scene!

[@danivarius]

Gandalf noticed Bilbo checking that the ring was still in his waistcoat pocket, then glossed over it by changing the subject. Interesting… I think that was the beginning of his suspicions that Bilbo had the one ring 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@joepugh678]

Good to dedicate this now to the refugees from the Ukraine.

[@theMad_Artist]

The music that starts at 0:42 is heart wrenching

[@freddymcshreddy6586]

Ok one thing I don’t think gets enough credit is Martin Freeman nailing Ian Holms’ mannerisms (especially when he gets worried and puts the ring into his pocket)

[@ace0matic284]

The Hobbit is better than LOTR

[@TheCerealkiller148]

*Everyone liked that*

[@semperuna1609]

"I would like that alot"

[@biancalong1231]

😭😭😭

[@rainershea3880]

This should have been where the first film ended. Not with the contrived climax.

[@ikaikaotteman7723]

see the hobbit movies arent bad. they arent great but they arent bad

[@jonemeigh5588]

If only the second and third movies had lived up to the first. The whole trilogy peaked with this moment. Unfortunately Peter Jackson’s own pride had gotten to him at this point and he stuffed the rest of the movies with irrelevant nonsense. To the point where even though they gave Bilbo a Hero Moment here, he was almost irrelevant the rest of the way through. Especially in the last movie. Criminal waste of Martin Freeman’s acting ability.

[@davesulphate4497]

It is a shame that the dwarves look so stupid, I really wanted to like these films.

[@kefka3]

There's a lot right and a lot wrong with this movie but I can't *stand* the dwarves' design. We have miniature hot Aragorn and 12 freakishly cartoonish CGI bearded nutsacks.
