Not just the best cavalry charge ever filmed. It might quite possibly be the greatest scene overall ever put to film. I literally can't watch it without getting emotional.
That charge was based on cavalry charges of the Napoleonic wars, namely the ones filmed in Colonel Chabert (FRA) and Waterloo (RUS). Those were the last day of true cavalry charges and they were even larger than what they filmed in LOTR. It's insane that these things happened in real life.
There's so much language in LOTR that can make the heart sing, or make it weep...that's why it is a book that will continue to be read and passionately loved through ages to come...this is just one example.
This is one of the true winners of this story. for the kind of man his name stands byside of Barahir, Beren, Eärendil the long and Aragon himself. A Kind that was stronger then suffering, lost of family and darkness. a true hero of the third age.
All classics but missing one of the greatest lines ever imo. Not enough have come we cannot defeat the armies of Mordor... And we shall meet them in battle none the less.... A King any true warrior would follow till death.
The Ride of the Rohirrim is, IMHO, the best cavalry charge ever filmed. Bernard Hill owned the role of Theoden.

Correction... The best scene ever filmed
@@rEdQUINOX Absolutely
It's clear that you havent seen 1970's 'Waterloo'. Go watch that cavalry charge and then remove your commment ;)

This video has more heart into it than the entire amazon series fiasco
Even the supporting characters were simply outstanding in this movie.
Théoden *KING!!*

Theoden King, The Graetest king ever rohan and middle earth have seen. Be at Peace in Halls of Your Fathers...
He is really cool and a very good king. But knowing some of the history of middle earth, that statement isn't even remotely true.

This is a beautiful tribute to Théoden. I like how you included his interactions with Saruman.
It is even a more fitting tribute to the fine actor, Bernard Hill.
You already did, that is such a beautiful line.
I’m listening o “TLOTR” on Audible, I can’t wait till I get to hear about King Theoden.
Great king.....
Respect
Fell Deeds Awake For Wrath for Ruin and the Red Dawn Forth Eorlingas
Théoden's "oh shit" face when the witch kings coming at him is still great to this day
It looked like more of a sigh of I can't do anything against this
@@fuzzyhair321 yeah it is a look of resignation kinda like "man I tried so hard I really did"
Theoden and sam are the best charachters
And Aragorn and Legolas too
R.I.P
What an awesome video that you have put together!
Mr. Hill was daddy as Captain Smith and King Théoden.
My favorite charachter.
All classics but missing one of the greatest lines ever imo.
Not enough have come we cannot defeat the armies of Mordor...
And we shall meet them in battle none the less....
A King any true warrior would follow till death.
Truly an awesome line⚔️, but there was just so many of them
You know I thought that. It’s personally my favourite theoden quote.
There is lots of things to know about this story. Credit to those work for this
Great post!
He was PERFECT for this part...Miranda Otto as well...
this was amazing
this video feels like you're watching a trailer for the next episode of the series 😂

the only thing more beautiful than Rohirrim riding into battle is seeing Galadriel riding a horse in Rings of Power :D
