How did Jackson find these actors and actresses? Fit them into the perfect roles. Stay so true to the story and make an unforgettable trilogy? And the actors and actresses! You can even sense and see it in their performances, the regard and respect for Tolkiens work. Simply incredible. Very rarely in this world do all things come together this way. Certainly glad it did...
He wanted Stuart Townsend or Russell Crow to play Aragon originally. I'm just glad they finally went with Viggo. I don't think the LOTR trilogy would've been great had they went with their original cast they wanted. Can't imagine anyone playing these characters aside from who they had. Lord of the rings was the perfect movie.
It's a shame that the Tolkien estate didn't see it that way. They had issues with LOTR, and when Jackson finished the Hobbit, Christopher Tolkien forbade Jackson from ever directing anything that had anything to do with Middle Earth. He called the Hobbit a "complete bastardization" of his father's work
Ian McKellen absolutely owned this scene. It was such a trip to learn he basically performed this scene opposite a tennis ball on the end of a stick XD
0:57 onwards. Everything from the dialogue go the visuals... It's the blueprint of high fantasy. Every single great fantasy story can trace itself back to that scene.
to u whose facing thru a tough times keep going, you are doing fine! no matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. be proud of yourself you got this. ☺️
Which is so much better imo. Gandalf literally throwing shade that the Balrog cannot and will not pass since he’s a wielder of the Flame of Anor. The difference between the dark flames of the underworld, and the power of the Sun clashing which Gandalf wields will literally not allow the balrog to pass.
It’s best that Hollywood doesn’t try to remake it. They have a habit of taking older good movies or classics, remaking them, and then turning them into utter garbage. 🙂
One of my favorite lines in the first Lord of the Rings movie by Ian McKellen. And it's the best Lord of the Rings trilogy of the 2000's with excellent cast members like Elijah Wood and Sean Austin. Also, I would recommend Peter Jackson's District 9 if you can upload it along with Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone, the original 2004 version of the first Hellboy movie with Ron Perlman, the first two Terminator movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and those two Jean-Claude Van Damme flicks (like Universal Soldier with Dolph Lundgren and Nowhere to Run for instance).
The demon rushed into the room. Sword blazing, smoke whirling, it roared. An earsplitting, deafening roar. Gandalf spoke, seemingly unfazed. "You cannot pass!" Frodo called out from behind the standoff. "Gandalf!" The demon reared up, its whole body alighting with eternal flame. Gandalf knew what he had to do. "I am the servant of the secret fire... wielder of the flame of Anor." The demon reared up, a flaming sword materializing in its hand. Gandalf spoke once again. "Dark fire of [UNAVAILABLE! Flame of [UNAVAILABLE]!" A glowing white shield had taken form around Gandalf. The demon struck, to no avail, bouncing off the shield, which had now dissipated. The demon roared once again. "Go back to the shadow," Gandalf yelled. The demon took a step forward. Its fiery whip lashing the ground. Gandalf raised both his sword and staff in the air, and with an air of power, yelled: "YOU, SHALL NOT, PASS!" The wizard slammed his staff and sword into the ground, shaking the entire cave. The floor cracked, and as the demon tried to take a step forward, the floor crumbled entirely. The demon fell, writhing, screaming, into the bottomless pit below. Victory.
It was rumored that Sean Connery was offered the role of Gandalf but he turned it down because he didn’t understand the story or didn’t like it. Even though Sir Ian Mckellen did a phenomenal job as Gandalf, I still wonder how Sean Connery would’ve done with the part if he had accepted the role.
1:24 Me Playing As the RED soldier in Team fortress with the rest of my teammates as RED Heavy,RED Engineer and the rest of the RED Mercenaries. While we’re camping inside to defend the intelligence. When a BLU Spy walks in to capture the intelligence,but he doesn’t know that all of us are camping and defending the intelligence inside. BLU Spy Steps In to capture the intelligence. And all of us in yelling unison:”U SHALL NOT PASS”!.
It's a great scene... very cinematic. When reading the books there are some similarities, but you can tell that Peter Jackson took some creative liberties with his interpretation of the Balrog. In the books, its size and appearance are merely described as "like a man, but greater." There's no mention of ram's horns or a skull-face with fangs. Wings are hinted at, with an emphasis on being a dark shape wreathed in fire. Personally, I like to think of them as being a fiery version of an angel... corrupted and deformed by Morgoth.

@@supratrd900 I love both those actors but I truly agree. Viggo is just PERFECT as Aragorn!

They just don’t make films like this anymore. What an epic film
I totally agree
Despite the fact that this scene has been memed to death, it’s still just so unbelievably badass
"Cringe" nothing can stop me!
"Gandolf" YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!!
One the best scenes in cinematic history!
Best scene and line in history
over 20 years later that bit still gives me chills, Ian mckellen is one hell of a actor
I LOVE THIS SCENEEE. It gives me goosebumps
Same
Same here
1:26 Gandalf: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!
Batman: WHERE’S ROBIN?
Doom Slayer: Send that Balrog down to me 😅
Said Gandalf "calmly" 😂😂😂😂
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!", said Gandalf "calmly"😂😂😂😂
In the animated version he actually does say it calmly.
@byteresistor I'm referencing Harry Potter though
1:26 best moment. It never gets old
The gravitas is incredible.
to u whose facing thru a tough times keep going, you are doing fine! no matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. be proud of yourself you got this. ☺️
Gandalf commanding it to "Go back to the shadow." will always be so cool.
One of the greatest lines in cinema and yet it's so simple.
"You shall not pass" is definitely one of the best improvised lines of all time.
really? what was the original line?
@@majinnemesis “You cannot pass!”
"Oh no you didn't!"@@majinnemesis
Hands down one of the best scenes in the trilogy, if not film history
The most iconic scene and line ever said.
Seen the movie 5 times in cinema. Can not believe it’s already 20 y. Time passing by my dear friends.
One of the greatest movies
That powerful voice, always gives me goosebumps
awestruck when i saw it in the theaters back then. powerful scene.
The music at 0:35 is so awesome and epic
Darude-Sandstorm
“You cannot pass” is the line in the book. He repeats this several times, and never says “shall not.” Interesting.
Which is so much better imo. Gandalf literally throwing shade that the Balrog cannot and will not pass since he’s a wielder of the Flame of Anor. The difference between the dark flames of the underworld, and the power of the Sun clashing which Gandalf wields will literally not allow the balrog to pass.
He says it. It's the first thing he says to the Balrog.
Dumbledore said calmy
Really amazing 🔥❤️🔥

He's not wrong. He gave them the biggest opening to ever open and they're just gawkin'
“Fly, you fools” is what he said
@@ob1kendobe no.

This scene makes me teary eyed and get goosebumps no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
Man, the soundtrack to this film is so so so good
I love the Lord of the rings
Same
@@bighand1530 yeah
I do love lord of the ring game and trilogy
@@1326evolvedGodzilla yeah , they games of trilogy
It’s alright
1:26 One of the greatest pieces of Dialogue in cinema history.

Iconic movie still binge watching this series.

the balrog didn't study for his finals.
he shall not pass

Frodo: NOOOO!!!!!!!!
Peak acting
Imagine standing up to you're own demons like Gandalf does here
The demon rushed into the room. Sword blazing, smoke whirling, it roared. An earsplitting, deafening roar. Gandalf spoke, seemingly unfazed. "You cannot pass!" Frodo called out from behind the standoff. "Gandalf!" The demon reared up, its whole body alighting with eternal flame. Gandalf knew what he had to do.

“RUN, you fools” what a hero until the end.
I guess he survived that fall since he battled the Balrog to the top of the mountain.
Amazon really thought they were gonna top THIS?!?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ian McKellen one of the greatest actors of all time!

Most iconic scene. I remember a friend in 7th grade who used to repeat this part when playing Yu-Gi-Oh in 2006.
I made the joke "You shall not pass!" years ago on university lecture about english grammar. The lecturer didn't even appreciate my humor.

I can't let you get close!!!!
Such a brilliant scene, thank you!❤
Lol You shall Not Pass!
Aragorn is my favorite character from the books and the movies. So humble and yet, what a hero!
Well said
Viggo Mortensen played him brilliantly
@@chasehedges6775 Indeed. 😊
@@chasehedges6775 Nicolas Cage was almost cast as Aragorn.
@@bighand1530 What a casting that could’ve been.
if you havent seen it yet watch the deleted scene it is so epic
1:26 best part
Ian Mckellen knows how to sell a scene.
1:26-🧙♂️
2:09 he fell calmly
BTW they're different actors

The only multipart movie i really rewatched i enjoyed
15 bud light oranges later I turn into this 😂
“You shall not pass.”
Said Gandalf calmly
Lol
When your friends study for the final but that one person ends up fighting with their inner lazyness.
Ever see the Southpark episode with Jimmy acting like Gandolf and not being able to utter the words because he is a studderer. LMAO!
My fav movie
Fell off the wagon vs falling off the cliff of sobriety
1:26 Gandalf said calmly
This always comes to kind whenever I take an exam
Good old times

THE BALROG!!!!!
Gandalf: You'll Never Pass!
In the book Gandalf never cries the command " You shall not pass"
Who else saw this movie in theaters and had the whole audience go hype?? Because my fellowship of movie viewers were going NUTS during this moment!
Always listen to a higher level Character....when he telss you something always listen 😅
