The relationship between Sam and Frodo was based on the friendship's Tolkien had experienced and seen during the First World War between soldiers serving with one another - a unbelievably close camaraderie and willingness to die for one another, a love closer than siblings but also not sexual. And for anyone who thought Tolkien intended to hint otherwise I'd point to the fact that Sam's interest in Rosie Cotton is established from the outset and maintained to the end of the books.
Exactly, not sexual at all.
I don't know about that. Asking your best friend who is Male if he remembers the taste of Strawberries seems pretty gay. Lol

@@CH-tv1cy I was just kidding my man. Thanks though.
@@CH-tv1cy naked in the dark. I speaks for itself 🤣
It's shocking to me how people haven't seen the greatest trilogy ever made with some of the best world building in cinema/books.
I know! At least she is watching it now.
It’s high fantasy, I can see why many would skip it, however I also 100% agree that this is probably one of the best film trilogies ever made, and definitely one of the very best adaptations ever!
Agreed!!
I haven’t seen it until now
I didn't get into fantasy until last year, but even I saw each movie in theaters. Probably because of the hype and Elijah Wood is one of my favorite actors. Plus, Orlando Bloom 😍🤣
One does not simply make jokes while Boromir is dying and Aragorn is comforting him
Or forget how Bilbo got the ring from Gollum if you claim you've read the Hobbit, like she admitted in the post-reaction.
@@eschiedler “What is in my pocket” is NOT a proper riddle, and Sméagol never should’ve let Bilbo get away with it. This is a hill upon which I will always stand, willing to die if need be
She should be punished..... I will say though, memes have made it very difficult for someone who hasn't seen the movies to take them as seriously as they should...
Anyone else wonder if this is what it’s like when Leonard FINALLY convinced Penny to watch LOTR 🤔 other than that - this is like every movie I’ve seen with a “girl” from chatty to more emotional reactions… to checking her cell as if totally checked-out… which is why I usually watch a movie MYSELF (90%) ever since High School! (Though, before the cell phone, chics used to check out with a quick make-up fix 💄 or rattling around their purse 👜 or looking at other couples and “comparing” 🤨 MUCH better to date at LIVE performances!!!)
@@randomusername89 agreed. that ain't a riddle, it's just a question.
Brett - “I cry at everything”
Also Brett - laughing while Boromir dies
It’s fucking rude my generation is so immature
Whaaaaaaaaaat? Should I even watch this? Laughing during Boromir's death scene is NOT kosher!!!
@@windsongshf LOL. She makes light of it for sure. I threw this series with Brett on in the background while working. Not anything super entertaining. But it’s worthy of a time waster
I'd laugh if Billy Ray Cyrus died, so . . .
I didnt cry when bpromir died but i did cry when sam said: i dont mean to
Fun fact Brett: Christopher Lee was the only cast member on the all three movies to meet Tolkien. He read the LOTR every year and helped Jackson with certain aspects of the movie.
He was a legend himself
Chris was awesome. Apparently he was hoping to get the role of Gandalf, but humbley accepted saurumon when Ian McKellen was selected for the part.
I loved him as Dooku also
Christopher Lee was also a spy during World War II. I won't spoil it for you, but some of his first-hand knowledge acquired during the war was used in the films.
@@UnclePengy ha it's not a spoiler. Lee told Jackson that in his experience, when someone gets stabbed in the back they don't start screaming like Jackson originally had written, they quietly sort of gasp for air and die.
Fun fact: the most common response to the end of this movie, after three hours and forty-eight minutes, is “Wait, it’s over already?”
Meanwhile with Return of the King. "Well it's over." "Wait no there is more."
Yeah that was pretty much my reaction
I'm sad they didn't watch all three back to back. We watched the first two extended cuts, then drove to downtown Seattle to watch the Return of the King at midnight in 2003. Such a wonderful memory!
When I took my girlfriend at the time to see Fellowship in the theatre, she had zero idea what it was. And when it ended she got mad at me because she didn't realize it was just 1/3 and wanted more.
This whole thread I feel kindred spirits...my dad and I stayed up and made lembas bread watched the first 2 then went to the theatre for the midnight premiere. Good times. I still have a cloak that my mom had made for me because I loved the ones in the movie.
Looks like the peer pressure to watch the lord of the rings from every single person on the internet ever finally got to her
usually how it is
And LOTR couldnt keep her off her phone???
Now the Matrix is next.
A good thing to pressure her into. Since Tolkien is such an open Christian (catholic).
Mission accomplished gentlemen. Drinks on me 🍻
Gimli is far from a simp. lol OK, so, when Galadriel gave Gimli 3 hairs it was VERY significant. It demonstrated that she recognized his purity of heart. She's immortal, right... So, Feanor, one of the greatest of Elves, asked for a single strand of her hair three times yet she refused each time because she could see his egotistical nature. But, she gave Gimli three hairs. So cool.
I wonder if this is Tolkien referencing Njal's saga?
Also, Fëanor probably wanted to create something using her hair.
Hey, do you listen to the Prancing Pony Podcast? Or maybe The Tolkien Professor, Corey Olsen? If not, you should definitely come and join the Tolkien community.
In the appendix of the Return of the King, Gimle encased those three hairs in transparent crystal as an heirloom of his house.
I'd never made that connection. Very cool.
It also shows the fact that even with the old feud between the elves and the dwarves, when the son of one of the members of Thorin Oakenshield's company asked the a royal elf of Noldor for a strand of her her and gave him three, while in the past, Feanor, the king of Noldor, was refused of one strand each of the three times he asked.
Seeing Brett using her phone during such a great movie is the most Gen Z thing ever
It is Blasphemy! That is what it is.
Zero attention span 🤣
Irritated the shit out of me.... dudes literally trying to show her something that takes so many people back and shes scrolling away...
@@tylertapp131 she can scroll if she wants to, stfu
That annoyed me so much too
The Lord of the Rings is the most important western trilogy of books ever. It's message transcends generations. It is highly spiritual and an amalgamation of western culture.
Also it's not a trilogy.
It was all downhill from there
Factual. I grew up with these movies (still am growing up) and they have influenced me so much as a person
D. Ryan Webb Correct. Tolkien intended for The Lord of the Rings to be published as one book, although it is actually divided into six parts called books, so it could be considered a hexalogy. Or because it was intended to be one volume of a two volume collection with The Silmarillion, it could be considered half of a duology.
I liked the Rings of Power better
The one thing you miss is that this first film came out the December after 9-11. Gandalf's words about the times and the need to rise to the occasion had a lot of meaning at the time.
You are 100 % correct. When Frodo said "I wish this hadn't in my time." It hit my heart as I was thinking about 9/11 and how I wish that happened happens in our time.
I held on the Gandalf response. It comforted me
Dang….. 😮
I like Brett's reactions but I know Scheller's heart breaks when she said something like "That's cheesy." or laughs when you shouldn't be laughing.
Anyone else wonder if this is what it’s like when Leonard FINALLY convinced Penny to watch LOTR 🤔 other than that - this is like every movie I’ve seen with a “girl” from chatty to more emotional reactions… to checking her cell as if totally checked-out… which is why I usually watch a movie MYSELF (90%) ever since High School!

Scheller is a Certified Nerd/Geek.
it made me really annoyed that he does not like Orlando Bloom as Legolas, or disregard the change of tones Merry and Pippin had from novel to film, and a few other things which seems off for a fan of Lord of the Rings.
While watching this you can fully get a sense of how much Brett does not care about movies. 30% does not react, 20% on her phone, 50% watching while looking completely uninvested
And calling Boromir a "simp".
More like 50% on her phone.
She is too immature to understand true conservatism. Its become aparent that her producers have fed her every good opinion she has ever had.
I agree. This concept was fun at first, but so few fucks are given about movies at all, that...idk. Feels lame and pointless. Plus if I had to guess, she really doesn't like nerds.
@@Zeus-tx5rh she is getting bent over right now by some chad who doesnt give a dang about the future of middle earth
The way the fellowship theme builds until they are all together, then it slowly breaks apart until they fully break up is musical masterpiece.
Howard Shore certainly created a masterpiece for this film series. I sometimes wonder if LOTR would be as good without his soundtrack.
I relate so much with Brett's friend. That is literally me, knowing by heart each theme playing and being visibly excited the whole time about the most unsignificant things :')
Honestly, I had more fun watching Scheller than Brett lol Except when she freaked about Bilbo's Gollum face. That was funny.
*insignificant
@@thatiowan3581was about to correct that, thanks for already doing it.
same lmao😂
There's nothing insignificant about music. It makes the film.
Brett: *laughs during Boromir's redemptive death*
Ben Shapiro: *laughs during Brett's firing*
Her feelings didn't care about the facts lol
Is Brett Ben's sister?
@@nameless.greyceo lol Right?!
@@Lucid_Waking serio is she? That's my first thought when I saw this random Adorabable girl on the interweb
@@nameless.greyceo I mean, her last name's Cooper, so I don't think so. They just look like they could be.
How do you cut out “you shall not pass” literally most iconic line in the trilogy
one does not simply cut out that line
I can't believe how much is cut out from this. This is kinda a waste of time lol
I was hoping to see her reaction to Bilbo trying to grab the ring from Frodo in Rivendell
@@vernonsalisbury5276 if you want to watch the movie then go watch the movie.
DUH!
@@keithfaulkner6319 nahh. I was checking this out for HER reaction which was ADVERTISED
It's funny that you guys brought it up, but I think the whole trying to make "Sam and Frodo a couple" really detracts from a key theme of the story: the powerful love that exists between friends/brothers/fellowship. Sam and Frodo's friendship is one of my favorite things about the story/movie and defending the fact they are friends (and not a couple!) is 100% a hill I will die on.
👏👏👏
The fact that Sam goes on to sire 14 kids kinda lends some credence to your interpretation.
I mean, Tolkien was a WWI veteran and a devout English Catholic. Frodo and Sam reflect the strong bonds between an officer in the English army and his batman not a gay couple. Wherever you stand on the LGBT+ issue, a gay interpretation of Frodo and Sam is laughable.
It's literally the most immature take on the whole thing. When they were making gay jokes near the end I was pretty annoyed.
Them: "they said you cant have male friendships anymore"
30 seconds later: "that was gay" "thats gay"
To this day my proudest achievement is watching all 3 extended versions in one sitting
I've got a question. (For real) Does it change the way that the trilogy "feels"? For years I've watched these with my younger brother and his family (his kids are just getting old enought to watch the films and become fans, so they started watching with us). But we've never managed the entire trilogy in one sitting.
@@matthewmosier8439 It's a unique experience. Definitely worth doing.
this christmas i am determined to do this with my bro (he got the extended cut)
Goals.
Ive done that also. And with the Godfather trilogy too. The cut thats in chronological order
Making gay jokes and laughing as Boromir dies is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. 🤦♂
Have to agree. Having to mock real male friendships..and how powerful they are and have nothing to do with sexual attraction...is contemptuous.
That’s two things.
@@jwolters4453
I absolutely agree.
The other thing is that if two close female characters in an adventure were called lesbian, a male Presenter who said that would be pilloried.
Brett does okay, but the internalized misandry of our society is strong. 🤷♂️
She was being sarcastic. It was a continuation of their previous commentary of how the Left is always trying to make things - like same-sex friendships - LGBTQ twisted.
An interesting tidbit from the movies is when the characters are travelling to Mordor the characters generally travel from left to right on the screen, when the characters are travelling back home they generally travel from right to left on the screen. A subtle gesture that helps to add to the immersiveness of the movies.
It seems Brett is completely immune to the waves of deep emotions this movie brings on 😔
My day is ruined, and my disappointment is immeasurable.
She's not from the hobbit generation. We that were born between the hobbit animated special and the theatrical release of fellowship, we who were promised adventure and riches but got only war and ruin.
she actually has good taste, your can surf the cheese wave all the way to snooozville
@@mremington8 not sure if you’re aware, but you just commented that she has good taste in movies on a video that literally proves that she does not
Not really.
Brett's reactions would make this movie seem like a horror movie.
Cant blame her, its just good jump scares
Wait'll she get a look at Shelob.
I mean Jackson *was* known for mostly schlock horror prior to LOTR lol.
@@LadyElfTari good point
@@bryancorrell3689 literally nightmare fuel.
Okay I actually really love Elrond's reaction to Merry and Pippin at the council meeting lol, just looking down probably thinking "It's a damn infestation, they're everywhere!"
One does not simply laugh at Boromir's death scene.
this feels like when you try to get your girlfriend to watch the things you watch but she stares at her phone the enitre time while you're explaining deep lore lmao
It looked like she mostly watched the screen, but had times when she looked at her phone. Who knows, maybe it was work e-mails. Idk. I'm someone who has to fully focus on a movie if I've never seen it before, and it annoys me when someone isn't paying complete attention to a movie I want them to see; but I feel like she pretty much paid attention. Her comments at the end sounded like she knew what was happening.
My wife does this, but instead of looking at other things on her phone she's looking into the deep lore of the movie. LOL!
why is that so relatable?😭
This is my biggest fear, I don't want to go through with this because I know how bored she'll be and it would make me not enjoy it :/
I'm not sure she realizes that the effects were AMAZING for the time and still are considered very good. This was groundbreaking stuff and looks way better than newer films. I'm also not sure she understands the amount of work and heart and zeal that went into these movies. They just don't make films like this anymore. There isn't the same level of skill and pride in making cinematic art!
She doesn’t care, she’s an NPC
The effects are still some of the best ever on screen to this day.
Literally though. Before LoTR and them winning so many Academy’s, Hollywood looked down on the genre as most fantasy/adventure films were seen as comical and childish and never thought that such a category would ever be seen in the red carpet…and then LOTR was out. There’s good reason why so many people back then said those 3 movies were a HUGE gamble at the time. So much effort and time for a fantasy series that everyone has looking down on at first. The score and production alone was enough to win awards…
Isn't she an actress though? I would have thought she'd have even more appreciation for them. It's sad 😔
You were right Brett. The first story Tolkien wrote was The Hobbit and it was originally a bedtime story for his kids.
Wild because hobbit is my favorite of the four books, followed by Fellowship or rotk
Well the first book he wrote. He wrote Beren and Luthien long before
It’s mind blowing how well these films have held up 20 years later. Absolute classics.
When he said “2001,etc” and she said “when I was born!” ….a little part of me died inside 😂😂
Right! I didn't think she was THAT young, I would've guessed she was a mid- to late-90's baby, not 2000's
Anyone else wonder if this is what it’s like when Leonard FINALLY convinced Penny to watch LOTR 🤔 other than that - this is like every movie I’ve seen with a “girl” from chatty to more emotional reactions… to checking her cell as if totally checked-out… which is why I usually watch a movie MYSELF (90%) ever since High School! (Though, before the cell phone, chics used to check out with a quick make-up fix 💄 or rattling around their purse 👜 or looking at other couples and “comparing” 🤨 MUCH better to date at LIVE performances!!!)
@@TheGeoDaddy bro you gonna copy paste this on EVERY damn comment thread?
@@TheGeoDaddy *BOT*
😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂😂😅😂🤣
Says a bot that Dares not use its name…
I love how hard ppl try to make Tolkien look racist/sexist and fail miserably every time .. he was an outstanding human being with zero hate in his heart. Give up, this is the best book ever written and the best trilogy of movies ever made, no debate. Facts.
I actually had the pleasure of meeting Sean Astin (Sam)! He was the nicest guy ever. We met him at a convention towards the end of the day when there were no other people in line to meet him so we got to talk to him for a good 15 minutes and got maps of middle earth signed by him. My cousin actually wrote and directed a kids play of The Hobbit and got it approved by Tolkien Enterprises to put it on so we got him the map from the hobbit and had Sean sign it for my cousin's bachelor party gift. Great memories.
I also had the opportunity to meet him a few years back after he did an improv show, and he really is super nice and friendly! We could tell he was tired, as it was late at night and he had done 2 or 3 shows that day, but he still took the time to meet with us and take pictures. And during one of the improv scenes where he took suggestions from the crowd, he very happily said his infamous line "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" It made us all so happy to see him say that in person. It was an unforgettable night.
These movies are damn near perfect. Cast, acting, writing, directing, visual effects, editing...everything.
as soon as she joked around during Boromir's last breaths... I was done. the diSreSpeCt!

Facts
Brett is an annoying normie
agreed
Brett is the first female I've seen laugh and not cry at the Boromir scene
She is a soulless right wing fascist. You have to be a human to have an emotional reaction to a film.
because she doesn't give a F
@@alessandrorinaldi842 Correct. I also laughed when she said she read the Hobbit and forgot how Bilbo got the ring.
@@alessandrorinaldi842 100%. Let's face it, Brett doesn't care about this pop culture stuff. She like the Star Wars OT but doesn't care about them outside of that 2 hours she watched it and thought it was fun.

I love that I'm not the only one who quotes the entire movie as I watch it. 🤣
" You Shall Not Pass," ‼️💯 I guess you don't know who said that part. I was saying that line as I was driving my truck to town on highway 🛣️ LOL 😂
yeah I've been known to quote lines from the trilogy on several occasions
@@richa.s9912 hell, there's an actual clip of Ian McKellan telling a bunch of school kids "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
As I've gotten older and suffered greater losses and celebrated higher achievements, my appreciation for the concepts that these movies explore has gotten deeper and deeper. The depth of friendship and the value of companionship between Frodo and Sam, the sacrifice and loss of what the others considered a person of immense power and wisdom in Gandalf, and the acceptance of of Boromir's flaws in himself as a reflection of his esteem for Aragorn, and all the other small but so important moments shared among these characters are priceless examples of how great we could be if we only had the courage to try. It feels like Brett and Scheller paid more attention to how current events relate to these films, rather than how these films relate to individuals committed to a common goal. Not saying any of it wrong, but in my opinion, it is deeper than that.
You have to consider that Brett and Scheller are still children. They obviously have little to no experience or context for the grueling effort, the incredible danger, the potential for being horribly murdered by real monsters and the trust and comradery that can develop under those circumstances in what is essentially a military, small unit infiltration operation. I am sorely annoyed at the little girl who laughed at Boromir's death. But like I implied and said, immature children with no context as to what they are watching.
I think the two of us hold similar opinions on the movies and concepts, but I don't think that Brett and Scheller could be classified as children. I think a more accurate way to say it is that they haven't truly considered what it would be like to commit yourself to a set of principles so deeply that living by them is the only way you *can* live. I'm sure there is someone in their lives they could spend time with in order to have a living embodiment of what we're talking about as an example. Brett is young and full of passion, but it seems that she hasn't been tempered by suffering yet. Scheller on the other hand openly admitted that he might shed a tear during ROTK, but not so much here. He knows what happens, so he's kind of glossing over what the characters are experiencing in their own real time like it's less meaningful because it works out in the resolution of the 3rd movie. His stoicism dampens his compassion.
Watching some of their reactions had me realizing that though I feel pretty young, I was raised in a completely different world.
Strange to consider that the time between noticeable change keeps getting shorter and shorter. I'd guess it's related to how the pace of our development has been getting faster and faster. There's probably a better way to say that.
This comment and subsequent discussion is very well articulated and I appreciate it greatly.
1. Fellowship
2. RotK
3. 2 Towers
Always brings a tear to my eye when, at the counsel in Riverdale, Frodo starts yelling I was take the ring. Then they cut to Gandalf he looks very sad knowing what that means for Frodo
There are 3 more movies in 2012 through 2014 base on the first book First story The Hobbit The Unexpected Journey number 1.
And numbers 2 movie The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug.
And numbers 3 movie The Hobbit The Battle of The Five Armies.
She skipped step 1.
Step 1 is watch the peter jackson movies
Step 2 is watch the extended cuts
Then you read the books all the way through
Then you listen to lore videos for hours on end and realize just how absolutely enormous the world the Tolkien made was
Then you read the silmarillion and get even more mad at Amazon for their Rings of Power series not having anything to do with it.
RoP is worse than the Hobbit movies: Change My Mind
@@mathnerd3364 no no your right, The Hobbit movies were just mindless cash grabs. Rings of Power was an attempt at ruining Tolkien's extraordinary fictional world. And when I mean "attempt," I mean no Tolkien fan or not was sold on it.
The character archetypes portrayed in lord of the rings is such a masterclass. Aragorn displays the best of what a man should be, and what truly masculine is. Sam and Frodo show the best of brotherly love. And their are many more
I see what you mean
ua-cam.com/video/FFiv4w6y_u0/v-deo.html
While true in the movie adaptation, the archetypes are quite different in the original novel.
@@eschiedler that's true, and while both characterization are fantastic, the movies do such a good job at tastfully adapting the books
One of the finest cinematic renditions of a very complex story ever attempted.
Agreed
yeah, these movies are proof that it is possible for cinema to do books justice
@@johnjungkook2721 his son thinks they're an abomination.
I've always said this is a task that could not be done without flaw and things WERE left out but Jackson picked his battles in the smartest way possible and what we got was excellence. Perfection? Nope, but striving for that and only that would have been fruitless.
@@NaeMuckle His opinion is his own and a fair one but it in NO way should be considered the authority on the matter.
Love Scheller's commentary about the musical themes and motifs. Good man; Howard Shore deserves all the recognition, because the music is basically another character in this trilogy. That's exactly what I'd be doing if I were introducing these films to someone too haha.
Scheller is a man of culture...he knows that the extended cuts are the only ones to watch.
Mouth of Sauron go brr
Hard disagree 😂 I love the extended cut as much as the next guy but I don’t think it’s the best way to view them for the first time. I think its better as a rewatch with bonuses
@@ethanfosterYT you right
I watched these on repeat during my childhood, and probably could recite most if not all of the movies. LOTR will always have a special place in my heart.
same my great grandma bought one of my sisters the two towers on dvd for christmas when it came out, we were poor at the time and rewatched the shit out of it lmao.
SAME
Ditto
I may never forgive Brett for laughing through Boromir's death scene.
Also, the best way to watch LotR is to make a day out of it and run the three extended-release versions back-to-back-to-back. No better way to spend 12-ish hours (not including pee and/or snack breaks)!
Also, also, thank Sheller for doing this as I would have stabbed both of you for talking over parts of the movie. The second time he said "This is the [___] theme," I would have slapped him. You two are definitely a good movie-watching fit.
Can be forgiven if he had paused the movie, but talking over the theme is a capital offense.
Boromir *Sacrifices himself after betraying one of his friends in order to redeem his honor*
Brett "Ha! GAAAAYYYYY!"
Yeah, that scene is so powerful, he laid down his life to protect Merry & Pippin and to redeem his honor and she's laughing and talking about how much of a simp he is 😑😠
I definitely agree with watching the LOTR series altogether in one day. We have done it a couple of times during the Christmas break as a family.
She is clearly not the champion of conservatism we thought... if she cant even respect a soldier dying. She even called them gay. Does brotherhood mean nothing to her. Im unsubbing now.
What people don't understand is that these stories where a life's work by Tolkien, they began when he was just a boy. His experience in the first world war really shaped the stories especially his four best friends and the loss of two of them in the war. The Lord of the Rings is Tolkien's Magnum Opus, unparalleled by anyone to this day, of course drawing some inspiration from Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen and his wife's love of Wagner. Buried together in the verdant cemetery of Wolvercote in Northern Oxford, Beren and his Luthien. I think that I understand that the "jokes" help make light of an emotional response.
Absolute favorite characters are Sam and Aragorn. According to the hobbit history, Hobbits are affectionate beings. And it's sad that brotherhood is no longer a thing and everything is gay, their brotherhood throughout this story is powerful and beautiful.
Bring back brotherhood! And bring back community! The Hobbits celebrations and communal socializing are amazing. Be willing to hug your friends and keep them from the brink of self-destruction and be willing to be the person to bring your community together through meals and celebration! Ignore pride month and instead be humble together!
Ian Mckellen’s acting was truly superb in these films
When I was watching it via HBO Max, it occurred to me that when I first watched it in theaters...this is what I was literally watching (at least most of it). The extended versions are like the definite standard with regards to story explanation, compared to the Director's Cut. I thankfully have the Extended Version on DVD of RotK.
I love it when Merry and Pippin run out and join the fellowship, then after Elrod announces the party's official name, Pippin says "Great... where are we going?" He was so clueless. 😂😂
I like how Brett was actually looking at her phone for half the time but the nerd on the right watched it through the entire thing
There is something to be said about these movies...fans get excited when they hear someone hasn't seen these movies and can't wait to show them the movies. They are in my opinion the best trilogy ever made! So happy to see Ben's sister finally watching these 😜
Also not often talked about is the bttf-trilogy
@@Emppu_T. Bttf is a bit of a slog
I remember when my dad first showed me and my brothers the Lord of the rings movies (extended editions, of course). He never actually said this, but it definitely had the feeling of "boys, this is the most important thing I will ever show you". And it was. Best trilogy ever
I remember watching these movies in the Theaters... my God, I'd read the books nearly every year of my life. It had become a tradition. I have the poems, lines memorized, and then, these movies. They aren't perfect by any means, but they are as close as we will ever get.
I feel like it's impossible for LOTR fans to not quote the movie right before that quote is about to happen. It's simply, irresistible xD
There's no other way to go!
"That's where Viggo bro-"
"We know! You tell us every time."
As is tradition.
I cry every time I hear Gandalf say “Fly you fools”. Watching it this time was no exception 😢
I’m a nerd, and I don’t care who knows it!
Right!

Fly you fools. It reacts in me to when I just jump into the unknown, start doing what Jesus Christ put on my heart. Just do it, alive or going to die. Just do it. And... Amazing... I'm still alive 45 years later. I took more jumps though...
It's the same as Bilbo daring to join the adventure. Or Frodo and Sam going on their mission. I never understood people that never moved. Some refused God's plan, others just stood there when Gandalf said : Fly. But they waited and were destroyed.
Lord of the Rings has a meaning. Its not just entertainment.

I was kinda expecting Brett to not like it because she didn’t like SW. i hope Brett sees this. I know she’s a smart woman with traditional values and the LotR movies reflect a lot of those traditional values and cristian values to an extent. The healthy masculinity of the protective while sensitive man seen in Aragorn, the clear divide between good and evil (something that the world desperately needs to learn) and much more. I belong to a community here in Ecuador that does seminars on these movies and how they portray many good and cristian values that one can follow and be happy for it. They are great movies
Dude why people are so mad over people when they don't enjoy X thing, she simply didn't like the films, period, it's okey, don't push it
@@jolopolo4761 lol. What? Who’s mad about anything. I was expecting her not to like it because I know LotR is not for everyone. I personally love it and high fantasy in general but Brett or anyone else doesn’t have to like it.
Also it looks like you didn’t even watch the video. She did like it
@@erichmahnke5806 well not you but look at the comments, a lot of people are raging for Brett looking her cellphone and not enjoying that much the movies, almost like it was illegal or something. And yeah i don't thing she actually like the trilogy, maybe I'm wrong
I went to a private Christian school and, as a contrarian, I was determined not to like LotR. We had folks learning elvish and everything, and I wanted no part of it. Then my cousin John convinced me and my family to watch Fellowship. Pretty sure I was hooked within the first half hour. I'd read the books by the time Two Towers hit theaters. My friends and I went to see it in costume. So.... Yeah, it got me. 😂
These movies will forever stand the test of time
Brett Cooper: What? Oh, that's gay. (back to the phone until Orlando Bloom appears and then starts a whole rant bashing the character)
6:33 - fun fact, the composer Howard Shore was interested in the idea of leitmotifs, which is a German way of saying a musical theme for important characters, places or ideas. Since Saruman was ruining the land he wanted to depict an imbalance in the music. Thus he wrote music with 5 beats in each measure instead of 3 or 4. The feeling is unnatural, reflecting what Saruman is to and with the land.
also the choice of music instruments for each theme have a great impact. Concussions and brass instruments like trumpets with "hard" sounds for the evil Isengart theme, wooden pipes and stringed instruments for other lighter themes
I can’t stop laughing at Brett’s facial expressions 😂
She doesn't need to say much, as her face says it all!
I was wondering if she was doing an impression of an Orc :-P
The facial expressions were the best parts!!

Lord of the Rings shaped so much of who I would become as an adult. The first movie came out when I was 10, and thus began my obsession. I love it to this day, and am working on my own fantasy novels. Watching Brett's reactions bring me so much nostalgia.

Weirdly the movies burned me out on LOTR. I had been hoping for fifteen years for good movies, but the hype train lasted so long I kinda got over LOTR. I still think the list is one of the best movie series ever.

@@naazahs9045 Once I get some edited, absolutely!
Sorry,Brett for disliking your reactions on Lotr .I am still your subscriber because I like your commentary on different issues.But I feel that you all have a very lack of respect towards one of the greatest trilogy of all time.Look it's true that art is subjective.But there should be a little room for respect. Please atleast don't make jokes on poignant moments.This filmmakers did something so phenomenal thay modern Hollywood can never replicate that with their billion dollars budget.
Also the thing about Galadriel in this movie is that she is strong, but not in a warrior's way, she doesn't wear armor and rely on brute force, she's closer to Saruman and Gandalf, if you ask any LOTR fans if Galadriel and Aragorn were to fight, they will say that Galadriel would win the fight.

Same. Then I got to the end of two towers and was like....meh. kinda felt too samey. I still saw Rotk but didn't have anywhere near the anticipation I did with Two Towers
And that was when years were a lot longer.
Same!
And I was fighting imaginary orcs all the way home. Good times.

That's a very short movie .
The fact they started with the extended editions shows the daily wire is truly a cultural company.
They should've started with the theatrical versions then Brett wouldn't have complained about "pacing" and feeling "drained". Then on her own time she can expand to the extended editions if she's hardcore, I felt her response was muted and underwhelming.
@@youtubedick-tators1991 I had watched extended only like her... I would say for the first time fellowship feels kinda boring at the start... other two enjoyed more in my 1st view.
No, it shows that they don't understand movies. They're forgetting that the theatrical release was cut down for A REASON.
The Extended editions are better… that’s all I meant.
These movies aren't old, Brett, you're just really young 🤣🤣
Brett is clearly part of the younger generation. She’s working, yet relaxing, watching a movie, and clearly the movie is not grabbing her attention since she’s hiding the fact she keeps fiddling around on her phone in her lap.
Head and eyes keep looking into her lap, blanket and legs up covering midnsection.
Todays youths brains are broken to the point they can’t focus on one thing at a time
Yep.
Maybe LOTR just isn't her thing. Which is fine
😥
That's what I noticed too. Sure, the movie can be longwinded at some points with nothing much happening, but still. I can only assume that movies that interests Brett more would make her forget to check her phone/messages during the watch time :)
@@Macop where doesn't happen much in LOTR?
I am jealous of Brett! Wish I could watch these again for the first time!
She didn't watch.....she was on her phone.
@El Nora the cool thing is watching with people who have never seen them. I introduced the movies to my oldest son while on a flight from and to Japan. About to bring my youngest son into the fold
So happy Brett's watching them with a true fan. When you are citing the number of themes and immediately call out the Nature Theme, then you know you are dealing with a fan.
Nah, at that point it's called being a nerd...
A true fan wouldn’t call The Hobbit a prequel.
@@tanizaki I think he meant the book. Otherwise, I think this trilogy is wasted on her.
Pretty sure there's actually over a hundred themes tho.
A true fan also wouldn't talk through the whole damn film. If I was watching with him he'd be getting duct tape over his mouth instantly.
Laughing/talking during boromir’s death is proof you’re a sociopath
Not to mention forgetting who was playing the character. She called him the "Miley Cyrus" guy in her TT's apology, yet she never looked up Sean Bean before addressing the feedback. I can disagree with Sean Bean's views (including Orlando Bloom's), but I can respect him/them as a great actor.
I was listening to a podcast recently that touched on the fact that many people these days assume that any close friends of the same gender must be gay for each other. Our society has lost the concept of platonic love. We are so saturated with sexual content and sexual identities that we have begun to automatically read sexual attraction into everything. We don't know how to have intimate friendships anymore. Friendships where we have real, deep conversations. Where we are willing to share our hopes, dreams, fears, and failures. Where we rely on each other and truly love each other like brothers and sisters.
Maybe the close friendships that men like Tolkien used to have are the reason that the world survived before therapists. Before everything was online, before we were so preoccupied with the image that we present through our social media profiles...maybe it was easier to trust and open up to someone you weren't paying to be non-judgemental.
Just some thoughts.
I've thought about this too. People can't just be close friends anymore because society sees sexual undertones when people share a bond. It's a very Freudian ideology.
I want the innocence of friendship back.
Excellent comment.
This almost pathological need to see sexual connotations or meanings, where there's absolutely none to be found other than a very close relationship, is our era's blight. To be fair though, I watched other reactions to the trilogy from a similarly young audience and they never went there.
My main gripe with her "reaction" was more her being constantly looking at her smartphone, demonstrating a very short attention span and missing crucial content. Then complaining about the lack of exposition, and having a puddle deep review of the movie.
Yes, people today would do well to read C.S. Lewis's _The Four Loves._
The multiple looks of concern on Brett's face always gets me

15:39 this whole saying is super crazy important not necessarily to the story just to the history. Let's just say the fact that she gives him three proves that she has more respect for him and that he's a better person than the greatest elf to have ever lived. Like it's some super deep significance and that scene was really cut from the theatrical because only Lord of the Rings fans would understand it. That's why Legolas Smiles after Gimli tells him what she did.
What's the significance of it ?
@@cernunnos8344 Fëanor, a High-Elf Lord in the First Age (over 7000 years before the events in LOTR) is believed to have seen the way Galadriel's hair shined and got the idea for the Silmarils (jewels that would be sources of light and beauty and control of which would define the First Age). Fëanor admired her hair so much that he requested a tress from Galadriel on three different occassions, but she refused each time and would not give him even a single strand.
However, when Gimli asked for it (when strictly asked his desire, not what he wanted her to gift him) and did so not based in its material value and not from a sense of simple admiration of the hair, but of its representation of Galadriel's persona, Galadriel gave him three times what he asked for. This three is an exact counterpoint to Fëanor's thrice-made request. A secondary point here is that by the end of the Third Age, when LOTR takes place, there had been a longstanding enmity between Elves and Dwarves. Gimli's father Glóin, in particular, had been imprisoned by the Woodland Elf-King Thranduil and Gimli grew up with those kinds of grudges. Therefore, when Gimli made clear that he admired Galadriel's character and that he could find the highest beauty among the Elves, Galadriel saw it as a small chink in that armor of prejudice and wanted, as a gift before she went out of Middle-Earth, to help break down that needless animosity.
And they call Gimli a simp. A simp!
@@junior4900 Simp??? "They" are ill-informed and unobservant.
Everything about this is a YES. You're damn right we would've roasted you for watching the theatrical version. If you're going to do something, do it right!

Doesn't really impact the story at all tho so it makes sense not wasting the limited time to show that
@Jacob Sampsonis I agree, I meant more like it's just a fun fact to share with people that are watching and haven't read the books yet.
I didn't know this, it's always so easy to ignore the passage of time with movies.
Well, just a warning to viewers, Brett didn't respect LOTRs throughout the whole movie trilogy. Didn't listen to her subs about their issues regarding her behavior and the whole phone controversy in the Two Towers. Hope this saves your time watching one of the worst reaction series on UA-cam.
Just rewatched the entire trilogy recently,and it’s amazing how it still holds up against a lot of recent movies,and the CGI and special effects are still as good or even better than recent movies.
IMO the theatrical versions should be watched for first timers, as it replicates the same emotions that everyone experienced at that time. The extended versions are also good, but to me it’s more of a fan service to people who already love the originals.
Exactly!
@Opener73 Still, most scenes cut from the theatrical release actually feel poorly done and it seems justified that they were cut out. But even if extended editions are amazing, the theatrical release is what people should watch first because that's the movie most people watch.
@Opener73 Nah, agree to disagree there, I prefer judging movies on the theatrical version, not the version where they can go wild with the runtime to show everything. But I would also say that in some cases the producers or production company force directors to ruin a movie by demanding short runtimes and changes that they think will be nice but aren't, and in that case I'd make an exception. Like Justice League's Snyder cut.
The extended editions ruin the pacing, especially in Two Towers (where the climax is totally destroyed), and the director Peter Jackson very clearly said the preferred version is the theatrical release.
There is no greater problem (for movies) than the fact these extended editions exist and therefore we rarely see the real versions when they are rereleased in theaters.
More content doesn't mean better. A movie has pacing, a movie has a narrative. Those things were carefully crafted in the originals and it's why the movie won so many Oscars. The extended editions would not have won Oscars.
Enjoy them on your own time as fun extras, but they aren't the "right" way to watch the movie.
@Opener73it's not nonsense. Both scenes break up the pacing of the film and introduce concepts that aren't needed, which is why they were edited out. Also, you're focusing on a couple minor thing vs the glaring stuff that ruins the movie, like the totally changed ending of Two Towers.
The "right" way to watch a movie is as the director intended, usually, and when there's ambiguity it's the one that has clearly stood the test of time and awards.
The extended editions have not. There's a reason people like Brett would get more bored watching them, and because they are more "boring" with all the extra fluff and ruined pacing.
Deeper lore version for you: Galadriel's gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. Galadriel is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun, the moon and the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower and fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor. It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people & also arguably their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked/demanded that she give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, & other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien.
The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Noldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol)
ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous).
Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz.
Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees.
Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.)
One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah.
Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her.
I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed and most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting of the last fruit and flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them.
She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning.
The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun&Moon. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years.
Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤
The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm)
Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.

Sad to see her using the phone, it’s kinda disrespectful in my opinion. We have a rule at home, where if we are watching a movie, everyone puts their phones down in the tv stand, that way everyone is enjoying the movie together. Especially if it’s somebody’s favorite movie, out of respect. It almost seems impossible nowadays to convince the youth to put the phones away for couple hours.
If you think you were drained after this one, wait for Return of the King. I have to sit quietly for a while when that one ends. It is, in my opinion, the greatest movie ever filmed.

How has Bret missed every classic To ever exist ? Especially the classic of classics
The odd thing is, she's probably read/watched far more classics than the average person, but the classics she was raised on are from the actual CLASSICAL PERIOD. She's read a bunch of Shakespeare, Dickens, Campell, you know, the "old stuff". Her education has been thorough, just not current. It is a somewhat tragic tendency of conservatives to retreat completely into the past when the present is vile to their sensibilities (which is almost always.)
