The Ring-verse:
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

What I find interesting is that when you think of the Fellowship, almost all them are Highborn. Everyone except the Hobbits are basically princes in their homeland. Even Frodo is considered heir to the most famous and richest Hobbits. Pippens family is also well esteemed and Merrys father was the 7th master of Buckland. Only Sam was the one with no famous bloodline. He was just a Gardener. And he was perhaps the most influential of them all.
You're right, other than Gimli. Gloin wasn't exactly aristocracy, he was just famous for being involved in the quest for Erebor. (Although I do suppose he must be quite rich still)
@@Bloomazz Even Gimli. Gloin was son of Groin, son of Farin, son of Borin, son of King Nain II. They're descended from the second son of King Nain II, whereas Thorin, Thrain, and Thror are descended from Dain I, Nain's eldest son.
@@th3warr1or Fair point! ALTHOUGH!!! Frodo isn't of any lineage, merely the adoptee of the richest and most famousest hobbit!
Sam was the true hero in my opinion
- This is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, you owe him your allegiance
- This is Boromir, son of Steward Theodon of Gondor
- This is Gimli, son of Gloin
>>> and this is Legolas from the woodland.
I literally just noticed when Legolas says "You owe him your allegiance", it plays that Gondor theme music that comes around in the third movie. I've seen this movie a million times and yet I still learn/notice something new every time. Good lordy are these movies immaculate.
I literally just noticed that as well. It shows that even at the beginning of this whole franchise, the filmmakers were planning ahead to when Gondor's moment would arise and the peoples of Middle Earth would need a leader who could unite them.
Same, the reason I'm watching this video rn was to comment this!
@@nateborie6329 WEll, they had the source material. And it was DAM GOOD!
You can hear the Gondor motif playing on a lone soft French horn when Boromir first mentions it, I don’t think you actually hear it again in it’s full form at least until The Return of The King.
(EDIT: If you watch the ‘Extended Editions’ of the three movies, you do hear the theme in its full glory when Boromir shouts “FOR GONDOR!!” in the flashback scene in ‘The Two Towers’)
A movie ahead of its time, unfortunily we rarely see things like this today
Sean Bean is a great actor. The way he slinks down low in the chair and looks at Aragorn with those "I despise you." eyes.
I mean he has every right to do so.
Boromir was the one leading Gondor's forces all this time when in fact he wasn't even the one who needs to. He was just the son of the Steward, a highborn but not royalty. He spent all his life fighting orcs and watching people under him die, and then you see your king on the other side of the continent who SHOULD be the one leading them.
Ngl I'd be damn pissed too.
I love how incorruptible Gimli is as a dwarf, and even more so than others, so instead of trying to take it he just tries to smash it
Dwarves greedy nature for wealth and other worldly desires prevents them to be tempt by Sauron darkness, at least thats what I've know
@@mukhtarsyajaratun1025 actually its because their nature is too different from men and elves, as they are not child of Eru but from Aulë and thus the rings, made to the elves, cant fully corrupt them, but their greed is actually a reflect of the rings influence
The dwarven rings didnt corrupt them like the rings of men did
@@BaneRain that's why Melkor made Balrogd
The Dwarves were designed to be resilient and hardy by their maker in the time of Sauron's masters even before the eldar.
I love the fact that Gandalf is visibly exhausted after talking in Black Speech.
Can anyone explain this further? Why is it exhausting for him? I
@@johnhsmckay That is an exciting topic. While nothing is confirmed, my belief stems from what Gandalf and Sauron are; Maiar. Or, more broadly, Ainur. Before the universe existed, Eru (God) had the Valar and Maiar sing of what his new creation would contain.
This song was called the Music of the Ainur.
Meaning Gandalf's voice existed well before his physical form. And now he is speaking a language of darkness and evil that his physical body is struggling to contain.
@@FallenOne669 Dang I never noticed this in the movie before
little things like that make a movie great
@@NeroCloud1 it sure does
I love how Boromir despises the claim of Aragorn to the throne at first, but later willingly recognizes it in his last moments.
He redeems himself and with his sacrifice making him a legend
Yes, it’s a great development of his character in the story (particularly in the Extended Edition) how he despises Aragorn’s claim to the throne of Gondor, only to later recognise him as his King in his dying moments.
Boromir seems a bit tempted by the ring
@@kohtalainenalias yet he is the only one who temped not for personal gains but for the protection of his country and his city ... The only pain of boromir is the white city and its survival
@@kohtalainenalias In this case, no. In the books he aspires to be the King of Gondor when he was a kid. He even asks his father how long does it take for a steward to become a king if the king doesn't return.
I love how the higher beings (elves) look as if this speech is truly painful giving them migraine.
it also kinda looks like Elrond is thinking "goddamnit Gandalf wtf are you doing??" LOL
Yeah, it's just like me when I hear someone speak in Estuary English, or a Brummie accent.
It's cause they've fought and lost to sauron before so they know what he's capable of and the black speech is like an insult to them especially it being said in rivendell
One can imagine similar facial expressions upon the upper classes if their underlings began exchanging pleasantries in slang while serving guests at a dinner party.
@@blaznsoccer3997 Especially since they would hear the same thing in the battlefield as their people would get slaughtered. It was already unnerving to the others who never heard it before then.

In their thoughts
Elrond: We should stop him. He's gonna touch the ring
Gandalf: Agreed
Elrond: Boromir st-
Gandalf: *Speaks black speech*
Elrond: Goddamn it
Gimli: WHAT THE FUCK?!🪓
Gandalf ain't fucking around. Elrond thought differently.
One doesn't just make sheep jokes.
What did he say in the black speech? Why did he speek that?
@@magicalmilimi894 He just said the famous « One ring to rule them all » speech that Sauron says .
Gandalf - Are we done, Boromir?!
Bormor - It is a gift...
Gandalf - *Turns* Why you little...
The way gandalf turns around after hearing him say that HAHAHAHA!
Gandalf: *turns* B*tch what did I just say?
Lmao
This is probably why that part got cut. It looks like it just kinda replayed the same part but slightly differently.
2:10
@horriblepancake That doesn't make any sense...
I love how elrond just facepalms when Gandalf starts shouting at boromir
"I've lived too much to go through this again"
The black speach hurts him
*Im too old for this crap *
It wasn’t that he was shouting at Boromir but what he was shouting. Imagine someone standing up and hurling slurs and curses.
Honestly I think the black speech actually hurts him. Rivendell and Lothlorian are tied directly to the elven rings of power and thus to the elves themselves. The One ring was supposed to rule them before steps were taken by the elves to negate that control. I can see how the Black speech could be seen as an attack on the elves and their countermeasures.
Gandalf: talks in Black Speech to shut up Boromir
Boromir: it is a gift
Gandalf: am I a joke to you?
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 💀
Boromir : The ring is a gift
Gandalf : Perhaps you didn’t hear me well the first time , AZNAGH-
Elrond : Hey yo chill Gandalf !
@@togucvinw7 PFFFT- 🤣🤣🤣
Boromir: In Gondor, yes you are lol
Gandalf spoke a tongue that literally darkened the sky in a duet with the ring and bro says that sht 😂
Elrond :"None can escape it", well except me. I can just hop on ship west of here.
Dwarves n men couldn't sail west? I never understood that. Isn't the west like heaven
@@mikemal4398 @Mike Mal The west is not heaven as we understood it to be. It's more like "the place where the Valar (gods in LOTR if they can be called so) live along side the high elves, it's better then Middle Earth in that more beautiful things and creatures are found here but that's about it.
The west referred to here is actually a continent called Aman. Here is where the Valar and High Elves live, not Wood Elves like Tauriel who are considered Dark Elves. Legolas is actually a Grey Elf which is a sub race of the High Elves from his father's side, Thranduil so he does not count.
High Elves who came back to MIddle Earth long ago are permitted to return to the West. This includes all their descendants including Elrond who is Half-Elven, in his case and his family it's more like a choice : Either stay in Middle Earth and become mortal and die or go to the West and be at peace. This is what Arwen meant when she choose to stay with Aragon. All Elves are immortal if you are wondering.
As for Men and Dwarves, no they can't travel to the West. Even if they sail west they will not reach Aman because the world was changed after the fall of Numenor, they would only circle the globe. Only the High Elves can reach Aman on the "Straight Road".
The only way to reach the West as a mortal would be
1) Be a Ring bearer like Frodo,Sam and Bilbo or:
2) Hop on a ship with the High Elves which was what Gimli did in the appendix of the book years afterwards. Assuming if the Elves would take you.
Even if they reached the West they will still die all the same in the end. Because the West is only the place where immortals live (Elves and the Valar). Also any non-elf except a special few like those stated above would have been killed immediately as soon as they set foot on Aman.
@@mikemal4398 The comment below is a lore answer.
To sum it, the undying lands are reserved for the Elves, for they do not age and will never get to to to heaven so per say.
Men and other creatures will die and I believe each will go to their respective place. Men in specific are blessed with a sorrow gift, that in death they'll reach a land that not even the Elves can and be at least in peace.
There is a whole debacle about how the Numeronians tried to go to the west and how define providence sank the landmass that connect middle Earth from it and thus the Elves have to use ships to get there.
_____________
Obs.: Frodo (and others) were granted the gift of going there to ease their last days in the world of the living as a means to easy so heavy burden they had to carry.
@@mikemal4398 They can sail all they want but they will never reach Valinor. Eru made it that way after Numenor's uprising (when they were deceived by Sauron).
@@vehx9316 but elrond was, like, 6 thousand years old when he went to Valinor, so how could he lived for so long out of there? He stayed in middle-earth for a long time, isn't he supposed to become mortal?
Anyone else noticed that subtle smile on Frodo's face at 00:48? Just after he placed the ring on the table. It's like he immediately feels relief to be rid of the damn thing. Very neat and quick detail.
Never noticed before that's great
At the same time, you can perceive a hint of longing as well, like the ring has already started to take hold
I didn't see a smile. That looked like an addict being separated from what he's addicted to lol. He looks immensely stressed that he no longer has it.
also the exhale of relief!
It was quite obvious ❤
Here you can understand Boromir's feelings, look at his eyes! ... the desire to protect his people, he thought he finally found the ultimate weapon to defeat so much suffering! Can you feel his feelings when talking?! despair , anguish, illusion! :
"give us the weapon of the enemy! Let us use it against him!" So moving Bro.
He wanted nothing for himself!
He always was thinking on his people!
Exactly, that's how the ring used him.
Just like it would have twisted Gandalf and his will to help others.
@@JonatasMonte I would love to see a spin off story showing what might've happened if Gandalf was corrupted by the ring

Can’t believe Hugo Weaving played Elrond and Agent Smith at similar times. I’d have never guessed they were the same actor. Same with Ian Mckellen. He played Gandalf right after filming X-Men as Magneto. Such an outstanding cast!
and V for Vendetta
Same thing for Christopher Lee as Saruman and Count Dooku
@@Diabeatu, they’re both villains though who also serve a master, unlike Weaving and McKellen who played one villain and one hero in similar times
@@joeyjerry1586 WTF man, how could you not tell, it's the most recognizable face of the world.
They started filming around 97 if im not mistaken for trilogies. Around 99, fellowshipi already finished and two towers near complete
The passion displayed by Boromir is such a midas touch, it encapsulates both the good of the bad of Men. Perfection
Exactly
Man, I feel so bad for Boromir. He was put into a situation he couldn't handle, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good man. Throughout the movie, if you look at the subtle hints, he is shown to be very caring and brave. Especially after the death of Gandalf, his only concern is to comfort Gimli and the Hobbits. When Galadriel shows him his future failure, he starts to cry in shame. His flaw was that his love for his people was so great that it became his weakness. He would have been a better Steward of Gondor than his father. At least he was able to redeem himself at last.
Denethor was a good steward in the books. He became more callous and hard-minded after the death of his beloved wife, but still continued to do what had to be done in the rule of Gondor. Boromir cared more for the human aspect of Gondor, the people (though he was also a typical proud Numenorean descendant), whereas Denethor cared more for the realm as an abstract concept and it’s inherited legacy. Denethor was the kind of guy who didn’t let his left hand know what his right hand was doing. Ie he considered advice and circumstances carefully, spoke little, and never let anyone anticipate or be privy to his plans. This is a great strength for any ruler, but a failing for one who needs allies - like Gondor did. Denethor struggled for decades against the forces of Sauron, and in his reconnaissance through the Palantir was led to believe that there is no hope for Gondor. Regardless he continued to do his duty stalwartly until the apparent deaths of both of his sons. Only when this happened did he collapse into delirious madness. His majesty and nobility is impressed upon the reader multiple times in multiple ways, and his fall is meant to be a tragic incident. His worst failing would be a prideful demeanour and mentality which made him scorn the aid of others and seek mastery by his own will. He was up to par and able to handle it for most of his rule, but of course by the time of the War of the Ring cracks started forming and the strength of Gondor alone was not enough. Funnily enough in a way he is more similar and akin to most of the Numenorean Kings of old than Aragorn. Not that it is portrayed as a good thing at all. But definitely a great and impressive thing, if you understand my meaning. A man like him has his place, and under less trying times I would even go so far as to say he would be a better and more effectual ruler than somebody with the character of Aragorn. At least in real life circumstances. He would rule his court with an iron fist and be a constant and incisive threat to any jumped up nobles with unbefitting ambitions. He is noted as a supernaturally perceptive man (due to his Numenorean lineage and use of the Palantir) who is almost impossible to deceive and dangerous to try. He also is noted as being interested in the minutiae of running Gondor, not just the more broad duties of rulership, and as a man who exercised and cultivated great control in all matters of Gondor’s affairs, great or small. Though of course in LOTR real life politics is not really a concern, and Aragorn’s reign is supposed to be the most prosperous in the history of Gondor.
That's exactly how the ring got to him. Gandalf and Galadriel were even more tempted, with even more solid reasoning and an even more acute and desperate awareness of the danger that Sauron represented, and only their wisdom and willpower saved them
boromir was a fine warrior with lots of honor, but even so the ring will corrupt anyone (even frodo), that is the main theme of the movie
Boromir was my favorite character in the books/movie. The Ring got to him, but he only wanted good for all. The death of Boromir was such an epic part of the story.

Damn. Even from thousands of miles away, Sauron was tempting the inhabitants of Middle Earth.
Is this right from the beginning or from when Gandalf started yelling at Bormir in black speech to shut him up? XD
@@eimanb3887 from when Gandalf started
Watching in 2022. The Black Speech sequence was stunning and the reactions of the Fellowship to hearing it was absolutely amazing. Brilliant writing and camera work.
0:57 I like how after Frodo puts the ring to the middle the whispers start and one deep voice poetically says "the doom of men" and it shows Boromir. Many details to notice even in 2021
you hear it say "the doom of men"? how?
@@Sonyetc at 0:57
Holy shit, i would've never noticed that myself
Ikr! I find something new every time i watch this trilogy. Not to mentioned iv watched this 100 times or more
I think regular people have a hard time understanding just what the situation is now that the Ring has been found. This is THE END OF THE WORLD. To actually behold the ring, understanding what it is, is to feel the deepest existential terror
I like how Gimli seems interested in the Ring but isn’t as strongly affected as the elves or Boromir, because Dwarves are canonically harder for Sauron to influence than Men
The Dwarves were so resistant to the rings of power that Sauron tried to reclaim their rings because it pissed him off.
@@luminozero "Oh you dont want to listen? Fine, gimme that"
True, but Dwarves are subject to greed when it comes to gold and material things, and "dragon sickness" as seen in The Hobbit trilogy and LOTR. I don't think power is as much of a temptation for them as gold and jewels are.
Gimli probably just saw a nondescript gold ring. He seemed confused, to me.
"It doesn't even have any jewels inlaid, no inscriptions...nothing unique about it on its face. Why is it so revered? So feared? It's just a tiny band of gold metal!" is what I imagine he must have been thinking in that moment.
Would also explain why he had no qualms about just swinging his axe at it. He got his first real taste of its power when his axe shattered upon it, he saw a flash of Sauron in his mind, and was knocked on his ass.

Keep blessing aragorn
It's interesting that they went through the trouble of giving Sean Bean dirt under his nails, and tattered clothing. It's a nice hint toward the book which tells of Boromir having spent quite a long time wandering the Western roads trying to get here, since he didn't really know where it was and neither did many others, he spent many nights camping from place to place.
They invite him to the council but don't even give him directions? 😂
@@LX.Zandaaa62 In the book he wasn't invited by Elrond, but he and Faramir saw prophetic dreams in which a voice told them to go to Rivendel. (Faramir saw that dream first, so perhaps the giver of the vision wanted him to go.) In the movie it's Elrond who gives the invitation, so I assume Boromir did know the way. But it was still a long and hard road through deserted lands with no proper roads or bridges.
The deliverance of: “Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king” will always live in my head rent free
Boromir's reaction when he heard Aragorn was Isildur's heir is priceless. That look on his face.
It's funny, I never noticed Sauron's laugh during this scene when Gandalf was speaking in Black Speech, but now that I heard it, I am now fully aware of just how much of a sadist Sauron truly is. He enjoys torturing his prey and watching as they tear each other apart trying to get this one all powerful thing that could destroy them all, but they don't care. They all want to use it for their own purposes, especially Boromir who is fully ready to take the Ring to try and save Gondor, which is exactly what Sauron wants. That's how he corrupts the human race. He gives them methods to protect their homelands and their people and in that way, he controls them. He tempts them with power and greed and in so doing they become his puppets.
Edit: There's one more detail I didn't recognize until now. The music that plays when Gandalf and Pippin are riding through Minas Tirith starts playing when Boromir stood up and defended Gondor's right to hold the Ring and use it as a weapon. It means that even in a moment when Boromir was giving into a selfish desire to care only about his own people rather than the future of the entire continent, he's still a man of Numenor, and therefore the music signifies that quality. To show that eventually, all of that greed and desire for power will give in to his desire to see Aragorn on the throne.
I didn't think Sauron could see them or that he knew where the ring was at this point though -- if he'd known who had the ring, he would have had a huge advantage.
I think the laughter was just a cool-sounding effect added in the movie to highlight that the black speech is evil, it's not a plot point.
That’s exactly how he corrupted Saruman
@@final_animal I think the voice we hear coming from the ring is definitely Sauron but I believe it's the enchantment he spoke upon the ring as he empowered the one ring to be the master of all of the others.
but even sauron's sadism is nothing compared to melkor. One could even say Sauron is simply obsessed with hierarchy and order, that's why he does what he does, as opposed to satisfying personal sadism.
It's an echo of Sauron speaking from the ring, because it has part of his soul in it. Gandalf reads out the words inscribed on the ring (the part about "one ring to rule them all") in black speech, but only part of it is inscribed. The ring is replying to him with the rest of the missing words in Sauron's voice and laugh.
The best movie ever! 20 years man! 20 years!
Yeah
Love how you can hear Sauron laugh at 01:43
Ha ha ha :D
You can also hear him talking in the background when Gandalf speaks black speech.
He’s like “you fucking idiots”
woah i just noticed that
What the actual fuck…
"Long has my father, The Stewart of Gordor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay by the blood of our people while your lands kept safe."
MAN!!! I don't know about you but I sure as heck love the delivery of that line.
But it wasn’t entirely true, the Dunadain and the elves from Lothlorien and the elves under Thranduil saved the Kingdom’s of men from invaders from the north.
@@The_real_Arovor but it was only gondor that kept mordor in check
Yeah for a little bit….obviously they dropped the ball with Boromirs dad and that’s why lord of the rings trilogy exists
That’s what makes boromirs fate more tragic. The fact that yeah he does have a point that he and his men have been trying to defend what’s left from Mordor but at the same time the incompetent denethor has allowed the enemy to grow in strength while the defenses have been weakened.
@@patriot459 Denethor in the books did do his best, and even resisted Sauron's will for many years while continuously using the Palantir. The problem is, his whole realm is in decay, and there's nothing he can do about it.
I love how Frodo sighed in relief and even smiled a little after he gave up the ring as if thinking he has finally completed the quest Gandalf gave him and was glad to see it in safe hands. This was after having the ring in his possession for years, and yet it was so easy for him to give it up. He was really meant to be the ring bearer among those in the counsel.
Elrond sounds likes he's about to drop the most epic DND session ever.
One of my favorite parts is when Boromir starts his speech about Gondor, how the lone French Horn plays the theme in the background. Just a masterful blend of music and cinematography.
That lone horn is my favourite thing to listen to. So much pride in the notes being played, yet it's so weak it feels it could end at any time. Brilliant.

The elf understands the evil power that it posses and the dwarf's wits and stability on beliefs surpass the willpower of the ring. It is just amazing how Peter put those small but iconic details in the movie thus making it the most epic trilogy of all time.
Alan Howard managed to make such an iconic and terrifying voice that even when layered BEHIND someone, he's scary. Love it
I love how the elves are sitting looking dignified, hands together. All except Legolas, who in comparison is sprawling. I like to think this is because he is from the wood elves, more relaxed and wild.
I just love watching these out of order and realizing how much of a vocal and posture change Ian M. Showed between grey and white. Amazing. Even the facial expressions and mouth posture. Legendary
The older I get, the more I like Boromir. He is the most human and wants the ring only to protect his people. He really is selfless. He is a protector. One of my favorite characters now.
@Brianna Jenell Same here! I can understand his reasoning for wanting it too. How many of his friends and kin have been slain in the constant wars with the Orcs while so many parts of ME are untouched because of their sacrifice. Doesn't make it right to use the cursed ring but I can't blame him for thinking it could save his people.
That means you all fail.
@@joheric8886 correct, welcome to humanity.
@@spazemfathemcazemmeleggymi272 incorrect. Welcome to Gondor. Aragorn fixed that. Your comment wasn't well thought out was it?
@@joheric8886 Aragorn had the blood of númenor much more than Boromir, making Boromir more human and more prone to mistake. It seems you didn't think your comment out very much either?
just this 3 minute scene alone is a perfect masteripce work of art writing it has more character and story development than entire 2 seasons of rings of power
Gandalf: *speaks in a evil language to convince everyone that the ring is not to be f***ed with*
Boromir: It is a gift!
Gandalf: Bruh…
I also love Frodo’s face when he realizes that the ranger he’s been tagging along with is the literal future king of middle-earth.
The way elrond talks and carries himself, he truly belongs in the boardroom... as chairman! 🙌
The fact Sam, Mary, and pip all hid from elrond and every single highly advanced being at that council should have been a good sign to the rest they could destroy the ring undetected
_Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king_ , so badass how this line is delivered, I almost can sense how Boromir has defended Gondor without any help for so many years
That's what his father has told him. As I recall, the reality was that the Rangers also kept Mordor under surveillance and were always their allies.
I guess there's an argument that Denethor as Steward of Gondor had to act as if his forces were the last army between Mordor and the rest of the free lands. Even if he had secret allies, he had to fight as if Gondor was alone.
He just hasn't told Boromir all of the history yet. I'm assuming he would have told Boromir as his heir, eventually. Except that he doesn't get to do that & despairs too soon.

There were no Dunedain rangers from the fallen kingdom of Arnor (ie Aragorn’s people) in Gondor, nor did they surveil Mordor directly. Mordor is too far from their lands. They patrolled the former lands of Arnor exclusively (apart from Aragorn and possibly a few others who had travelled south long before). Perhaps you are thinking of the rangers of Ithilien? These people were of Gondor and were not an external faction.
In many ways Gondor was fighting alone. There was no coordinated defence against the forces of Sauron. They received no direct aid from Rohan, any elven kingdoms, the dwarves, Aragorn’s rangers, or the men of Rhovanion. Every one of these peoples were fighting alone without communicating, if they were fighting at all before the events of the books. So for all intents and purposes Gondor was truly alone… the problem was that Denethor in his pride and despair tried to endure and continue alone, instead of calling upon the kingdom of Rohan for example, which would certainly have answered the call and at least been on standby if given proof of the threat (if called upon before Saruman’s sorcery and raids). He most certainly thought that they would not have honoured the alliance, however. He was in some state of depression and hopelessness after both the death of his wife and the visions of despair he saw in the palantir, which developed into madness after he thought that both of his sons were dead.
Best part about these films is I’ve seen them dozens of times in entirety read all the books yet I still pick up on the most clever of simple little things from Jackson . Even the cutscenes from Legolas to Aragorn to boromir; as Elrond goes on to say , you can’t run from it, cutting to Legolas, being an elf indicating the elves want to sail away from middle earth , or run away from the problem. Then cutting to Aragon as he says “or you can unite” foreshadowing Aragorn uniting men and elves as king , and finally cutting to boromir as he says “or fail” which foreshadows boromirs momentary corruption, lust for the ring , and eventually his downfall.
Wild.
Saurons voice is truly otherworldly in the fellowship of the ring.
It's truly awesome.. always loved it. The late great Alan Howard's voice..
I love that the whispering for gimli simply disturbs and disgusts him. The elves are wary of it and the men are obviously beginning to listen to it. And gimli is the first to just try and destroy it, doesn’t even consider having it around.
Something about Saurons voice is so compelling in this scene, it’s like listening to Dio from JoJo’s bizarre adventures, there’s this confident calmness and smoothness to it but it’s also got this deep dark tone that projects his voice thru you and all around you. THIS is the voice of a dark lord
One thing they did perfectly in this movie was the malice of Sauron with just his voice alone. Both here and the scene in the tavern made me terrified of Sauron as a kid with simply a flaming eye and his voice alone. You could only imagine what the people in the setting themselves feel towards such a presence.
I love how when the Gondor theme pops up when Boromir speaks up. Such a great scene.
I love the faint sound as Frodo puts the ring down - as if it were a very heavy object.
gold is one of the heaviest metals
@@ns7353 True but I don't think a magical ring is made of simple gold
Gimli can attest to that
I will be DEAD before i see the Ring in the hands of an Elf! - Spoken like a true Dwarf! Greets, from a European Dwarven player in any D&D, Videogame, etc!

Awesome
That moment of Black Speech....absolute metal ⚔️🩸⚔️ Then Sean Bean..reading his lines like poetry.....quite amazing.
2:15 ,, Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay, by the blood of our people are your lands kept safe!''
That is how the greatest Knight of Gondor speaks from his very hearth. Boromir loved his people too much and his desperate need for the Ring make sense because nobody knew better than Boromir against what forces Gondor has to deal alone, again.
But the very need to protect his people is what corrupts him, so loved will make him weak
They can't achieve this without allies. Sauron has persuaded Denethor that they're alone, probably can't even rely on Rohan for help, and the Rangers are supporting them silently because like Aragorn, they work better if Sauron doesn't realise they're working to defeat him.
Boromir: "Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king"
Aragorn: "It's treason then"
Boromir: Spends the entire meeting tempted by the ring.
Everyone else: "You should be part of the Fellowship!"
That's the movie's fault. Boromir was as loyal and incorruptible as Aragorn all the way until he met Galadriel, who actually put doubts in his mind in heart on the gift's ceremony. Jackson probably thought making Galadriel a piece of shit woman (as she was with him) was a bad idea, so Sean Bean had to act as a far more corrupted man than the book was.
@@ItsNotaTuhmah >Jackson probably thought making Galadriel a piece of shit woman (as she was with him) was a bad idea,
What do you mean "with him"?
@@smokesdegrass Galadriel's actions make very little sense. She was the one who put doubts in Boromir's mind and made him want the ring.
@@ItsNotaTuhmah his father put thoughts in his head about using the ring. Denethor corrupted his son`s mind because the stone showed him that Sauron would defeat them
@@ItsNotaTuhmah Are you from Qanon or something? I never read so much BS before.
Boromir's opening speech during the Council of Elrond in the book is much more epic and truly shows his sense of duty and responsibility towards the legacy of Numenor.
The little teaser of the Gondorian music when Boromir speaks is class.
I love reading the books and I noticed reading recently in the book, in the council of Elrond when Frodo brought forth the ring, I believe the ring immediately began to effect Boromir because like in the films he's the first person to speak during it's reveal and then in the book he goes on to deliver a brilliant speech, standing tall and proud about his people but wants Gondor to take possession of it for protection or use it as a weapon. Of course he wanted to protect the Hobbits but slowly the ring took over him and it was so gradual nobody noticed. However from the first moment Boromir seen the ring it took him over. He later restored his honour by fighting to the death to protect the Hobbits and it was when he blew the horn of Gondor did his memory of past glory return to him. This was the only time Boromir was not effected by the ring. In my opinion. Sean Bean did a excellent job as Boromir.
Aragorn is perhaps the most valuable and honorable member of the fellowship.
I would argue it is Samwise
What about the literal god who put things in movement, Gandalf?
Only plebs endear themselves to Aragorn as their favourite character. It takes a certain kind of simplistic psychology to do so.
@@jeanlundi2141 get out of your basement and touch grass once in your life...
@@smaug9833 I agree Sam is the most influential and important member
I love the fact that even though they did not speak, you can see the representatives from other lands. The Men of Dale, the Dwarves of Erebor and the Blue Mountains, the High Elves, the Elves of Mirkwood, Gondor, the Shire...Only a representative from Rohan appears to be missing.
which makes sense because the king of Rohan is under the spell Saruman, so even if they sent an invite to him he wouldn't send anyone
@@creeperkiller78
Makes sense, actually. Because Theoden was ensnared by Saruman and thus no one from Rohan was present at the Council, it explains why Eomer and Eowyn were so distrusting of the Three Hunters when they entered Rohan; They thought Rohan was on her own against the Evil encroaching against it and didn’t realize otherwise until after Gandalf lifted the spell.
@@jackdaone6469Yes. The old Divide and conquer meme was operating there. Sauron had them all doubting each other when united they could defeat Mordor.
"What is the House of Eorl (Rohan) but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their brats roll on the floor with the dogs?!"
Yup yup.
2:09 Galndalf be like : What part of the "the ring is all-together evil" did you not understand?
I like how Frodo sights and smiles a little bit when letting go of the ring, he shows the relief
The subtle theme of Gondor playing as borimir speaks makes me cry
Love how Frodo sits back down after putting the ring in the middle and exhales deeply, like he just dropped a heavy weight he had been carrying...
man, i fucking love that movie. the music, the pictures, the dialogues, the actors, the lighting....truly a masterpiece
I just love how Hugo Weaving says Mordor. I'm sure J. R. R. Tolkien would have been pleased.
every year i spend a weekend rewatching. love it so much.
I love when once Frodo sets down the ring and goes back to his seat, you can see that little smile he gives as a sign of relief, as if a massive weight was lifted off his chest. Little touches like that makes me appreciate the film a little more by every rewatch
The looks in Frodos eyes… the King of Gondor.
I love Sauron's voiceover, it is epic and his laugh at the end is menacing.
Peter said of all of the scenes in the book, this one was one of the hardest to write. They basically were constantly changing it right until the last minute.
When you read the book, this beautiful chapter rambles and goes back in time to various eras and geographical locations. It is full of indecisiveness and confusion. Justifications, proofs, counter points.
Converting it to a scene which could faithfully get the main points across to an audience while being fast paced enough to set us on our way again on this already urgent journey was an insane feat. A truly insane feat. And yet the scene remains largely true to any character who opens their mouth and nothing huge is lost.
2:26 Aragorn's reaction is immaculate 😂 Boromir has no clue. 😂
Perfect absolutely
“By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe!”
Heavy line.
I love how Gimli's first instinct is to grab his weapon.
By the blood of OUR people are YOUR lands kept safe!- That has resonated with me a lot these past decades.
Legolas nailed the introduction,"This is no mere ranger" even aragon was surprised 😂..... assignment accomplished ✅👏👏 I wish thranduil was here to see 🙌
Interesting how in the movie they changed the direction of Boromir's dream from seeking out Aragon to this. In the books it reads: "In that dream I thought the eastern sky grew dark and there was a growing thunder, but in the West a pale light lingered, and out of it I heard a voice, remote but clear, crying:
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand"
In the books, Boromir wasnt even interested in the ring until after Lorien.
I love the details of this scene. Especially when Gandalf starts using Black Speech, all of the Elves look physically ill
You can see both Legolas and Gimli looking at the ring in disgust, and Boromir's face immediately light up
I never thought more into this before, but unlike most people when in the presence of the ring Gimli went straight away at trying to destroy it with no hesitation. I think that shows how strong he is and selfless. That is why Galadriel gives him her hair.
It's also funny though because Gimli then pledges his axe to the Fellowship - right after he's just shattered it in front of everyone.
"Your axe, what axe, dude?"
I guess the Elves reforged it for him before they set out again.
"The ring is all-together evil!'
"...It is a gift!"
"Bitch, what part of 'ash nazg durbatulûk' did you not understand?"
Here after the Elf Tale Film musical.
You cannot weild it! 🎶
I will never see this scene without hearing the music..
Notice how it shows the differences in races here. Legolas is patient and calm and reasonable. The elves were wise. Boromir was immediately corrupted by the ring and Gandolf and elrond saw it. The hearts of men are easily corrupted. Gimili was brave and immediately took action without thinking although in vain. Frodo was scared but willing to act. Gandolf and elrond just observed the others trying to come up with a plan
Why are you being racist?
I think that the great danger of corruption that mankind faces, its desire for power, dominion, and domination, but also for love, justice, and honor, is what makes mankind's efforts against Sauron so meaningful. They constantly live on a knife-edge, must constantly guard themselves against corruption by evil; as such they live with stakes that Elves couldn't even fathom living with, so the glory of their actions is far greater. That, in my opinion, is one of the things that makes figures like Aragorn and the men of Gondor worthy of respect from Elves and Wizards.
Elves are more dangerous if they corrupted by The Ring. Probably that's why high elves such Elrond, Galadriel avoided it if possible.
if this video didnt end i'd have probably sat through the whole film again. absorbing
Sean Bean is a fucking treasure. Every line he delivers a perfect.
Sauron’s black speech in the original trilogy was so epic. Deep and you can feel fear with the smoothness of his tone
So many people in this movie had such cool voices. Frodo and Aragorn in particular have such unique voices
Gandalf *recites the ring verse in Black Speech, making the skies go dark and the voice of Sauron to be heard (with a creepy laugh at the end) and than says "The Ring is evil"*
Boromir: it's a gift
Gandalf: facepalm
elrond has seen it all, since the battle of the five armies; their fates goes in circles
