    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.

      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

      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.

      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.

      I still think that gollum should have won an oscar, he was snubbed because the Oscars don't know how to embrace new technology.

If you watch the behind the scenes he gives 150%in every single scene

      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.

    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

(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.

    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."

      At first, when Sam talked about how the darkness would leave the world one day, Gollum felt a little bit of hope. Then he turned his thoughs to himself and realized that he couldn't see himself one day freed of his own darkness. And hope has given way to despair. This is my interpretation of that scene though.

      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. :)

      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.

Do I think Grandpa Jimmy would be interested in the whole middle earth thing with orcs, goblins, and hobbits? No probably not.

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.

      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.

    Sam : ”then lets get rid of it, Once and for all. I cant carry the ring for you, BUT I CAN CARRY YOU! COME ON!”
    (Music intensifies) goosebumps :,,,D

    The best part of Aragorn's speech was when he turned to Saurons hordes and for a brief moment looked as if he would answer their call.
    But he simply says "For Frodo" and goes and shit get real.
    Those two words are a speech unto themselves.

    *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 had 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. They kept going, because they were holding on to something*
    *What are we holding on to Sam?*
    *That there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.*
    Basically sums up the year 2020...

    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

      Sam is a great hero no doubt, but Frodo was the one who bore the heaviest toll. to the point where in the movies and book he can no longer find peace in any of the things he once loved and must leave the world of middle earth altogether. Tolkien clearly taking inspiration from WWI vets scarred by their experiences

    The heartbreaking part about Sam's speech was that Gollum could see this truth and even felt it, but as Gandalf explained, "he hates and loves the ring just as he hates and loves himself..", and there was no one to fight for the good in Smeagol. His life is truly a tragedy.

      But what about:
      - who am I, Gamling?
      • you are our king, sire!
      - and do you trust your king?
      • your men, my lord, will follow you to whatever end.
      - to whatever end.
      - where is the horse and the rider?
      where is the horn that was blowing?
      they have passed like rain on the mountains,
      like wind in the meadows.
      the days have gone down in the West,
      behind the hills, into shadow.
      how did it come to this? 🥰🤗
