One of my favorite scenes from both book & film is when Merry overcomes his fear and stabs the witch king. “He bent over her like a cloud, and his eyes glittered; he raised his mace to kill. But suddenly he too stumbled forward with a cry of bitter pain, and his stroke went wide, driving into the ground. Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle, and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee. 'Éowyn! Éowyn!' cried Merry. Then tottering, struggling up, with her last strength she drove her sword between crown and mantle, as the great shoulders bowed before her. The sword broke sparkling into many shards. The crown rolled away with a clang. Éowyn fell forward upon her fallen foe. But lo! the mantle and hauberk were empty. Shapeless they lay now on the ground, torn and tumbled; and a cry went up into the shuddering air, and faded to a shrill wailing, passing with the wind, a voice bodiless and thin that died, and was swallowed up, and was never heard again in that age of this world.” And a bit of detail as to exactly why Merry’s attack was so powerful: “So passed the sword of the Barrow-downs, work of Westernesse. But glad would he have been to know its fate who wrought it slowly long ago in the North-kingdom when the Dûnedain were young, and chief among their foes was the dread realm of Angmar and its sorcerer king. No other blade, not though mightier hands had wielded it, would have dealt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will.”

2024-07-13 06:26:03 +0000 UTCThere it is!!! The moment that changed little girl me forever. The fact she flips her long hair over her shoulder before speaking her iconic line. " I am no man. " Is such an incredible touch.

2024-07-10 03:25:53 +0000 UTCThe Ring could have been trying to appeal to that part of Sam tho, him not wanting to see Frodo be further corrupted

2024-07-09 13:33:20 +0000 UTCOh wow, you're right. I think because thewe sounds fit the general feeling of the scene so well, I never questioned their specific meaning. Thank you!

2024-07-09 03:41:06 +0000 UTCThe whispering, high pitched squeals, music, and Frodo's voice being muted during that scene are all because of the Ring's influence

2024-07-09 02:39:36 +0000 UTCThe books described it very differently to the how the movies adapted it, but the scene where the Eye focused on Frodo, was the very moment that Aragorn was by the black gates, apparently. So it's focus was drawn away at the right moment.

2024-07-08 21:16:15 +0000 UTCDenethor had been using one of the Palantir (seeing stones) to look out on the world for information, and having looked upon Mordor, Sauron caught his gaze, and held it, and each time he looked upon the Palantir although Sauron couldn't control him cause he had the Numenor blood nearly true in his veins same as Aragorn. Sauron chose what the Palantir would show him so he began to despair, and eventually fell into madness. He mainly feared the black fleet coming up the Anduin. Eowyn didn't need Elvish medicine, Aragorn had accepted that he is King, and in the books it is said "the hands of the King, are the hands of a healer"...he was Elessar the Elven stone of his people...he was Numenorean as well. He did have Elvish blood in his line though as well due to the Numenorean blood of Kings. Best endings ever, the smallest of people, deserving of everyone's thanks, and admiration...Aragorn..."My friends, you bow to no one! And Gandalf at the Grey Havens...“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil”...And the three mighty Elves...Elrond, Celeborn, and Galadriel...and Galadriel's smile! The little hobbit girl who hops up into Sam's arms at the end when he gets back home to Rosy in the shire is actually Sean Astin's actual real life daughter at the time!

2024-07-08 16:32:53 +0000 UTCOh interesting, I always read Sam's look not as being tempted by the ring but more scared or shocked by Frodo's reaction. Maybe also not wanting Frodo to be influenced more by continuing to wear the ring. That might just be my idealistic view on his character though... Does anyone know details on this?

2024-07-08 12:34:19 +0000 UTCSo excited! I love these films but have never seen the extended versions and watching these reactions makes me feel like I'm getting to see them for the first time with a friend and it's been such a joy! One happy marshmallow here!
