The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) - "Forth Eorlingas" scene
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2024
- The Rohirrim sometimes referred to themselves as Eorlingas, and this was the battle-cry that King Theoden shouted as he rode out of the Hornburg at Helm's Deep, to meet the Uruk-hai head-on just before Gandalf arrived with reinforcements, "at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east."
This is one of the first scenes that springs to mind when I think about the many perfect movie moments in the LOTR trilogy. Everything is done sublimely, especially Howard Shore's score. The scene starts with the Nature theme as the sun rises. As they ride out, a triumphant statement of the Rohan theme accompanies them, and then they look east and see Gandalf, as the choir announces 'Shadowfax', before a warm and welcome rendition of the Fellowship theme. Soloist Ben del Maestro then sings a version of the Mearas text (about Shadowfax), as the Rohirrim sweep down the mountain with Gandalf leading them, before the final blast of the 'Gandalf the White' theme as they charge the Uruk-hai. If there is a more perfectly scored sequence in recent film history, I have yet to see it.
Starring Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Bernard Hill and John Rhys-Davies. Directed by Peter Jackson, written by JRR Tolkien, and with one of the best film scores of all time composed by Howard Shore.

"A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to."
Ooooh. Nice!
THIS.
This makes so much more sense as an adult as it did as a child.
LOTR is a perfect puzzle, it's amazing
Explain that to all the dead men and elves from the battle
This is one of those scenes that you can watch thousands of times and will always give me the chills.
Can't watch without tears even.
Yup
Angeluss Blade Same here. Must be something rooted very deeply in our collective psyche as humans. Something that kept us going whatever the odds.
Over and over and over. This and the Roharin charge
You're absolutely right! My favourite scene ever!
Man, LOTR came at a perfect time where CGI was used to ENHANCE a film, but not CARRY a film like they try time and again today, but fail.
Right, i’m so glad they only got the chance to ruin The Hobbit and not the entire LOTR franchise
@@SugarPeachPrincess I enjoyed the Hobbit thoroughly
I recently rewatched the Hobbit, and while there's quite a few things I don't like about it and it's nothing compared to the absolute masterpiece that is LotR, it's actually a really fun set of movies to watch. It absolutely does not deserve the hate it gets.
@@NS-xo6qe It wouldn't get nearly the amount of hate it gets if Peter Jackson was not at the helm. We KNOW what he can create in the universe, so giving us.......that.........was just a slap in the face.
Hard work will be rewarded vs. just using CGI to carry everything
It's not a coincidence that two of the most memorable lines/speeches of the entire trilogy are delivered by King Theoden. Bernard Hill is a brilliant actor.
He's also the only actor who's been on two of the most awarded films of all time: LotR and Titanic.
@@Vampirewolfking Theoden King stands alone
Two out of hundred yea
@@Vampirewolfking dang, he was the captain?! how did i never notice that?
The Ashbringer
Eomer is probably the most unsung badass of this series.
So true, but we will always have this scene and the one with the mumakil. Honestly, I'm just happy that at least ONE of my favourite characters didn't have his moment of greatness butchered. Faramir trying to take the ring still makes my eye twitch, same with warmonger Thranduil in the hobbit movies. Still, the movies are overall so awesome that it's easy to overlook some flaws.
Morgan21590 but this should be Erkenbrand's moment
Beatlebyrd characters who actually appear in the movie. if we start with all those who were cut completely, i'll go on a long rant about Glorfindel xD
Liable Punchline Dispenser eomer and theoden both..
you know how much of a badass Eomer actually is? he kills an oliphant with his entire crew with just one spear. that is how much badass he is.
"Battle of Winterfell will be even more epic than Helm's Deep".
Yeah, sure.
TO THE KING!!!!
It was a joke
Well they didn’t have Pippen appear to kill the main Urukai.
winterfell is trash episode. This is other level
Season 8 is trash.
Theoden has the best pre-charge speeches
Damn straight... I, to this day, wait for possibility of using "Fell deeds awake..." as a conversation starter...
For now i only could use "Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!"(my mom finally decided to make that chicken in the oven, with beer), "The age of men is over. The time of the Orc has come"(when talking to femminists) and "They have a cave troll..."(that one was when my younger brother came to visit with his wife and he put... "some" weight since i last saw him)
Well, he has been a King and a leader longer than Aragorn. He may be younger than him, but Aragorn spent most time in exile or fighting under someone else's colors.
@@heretyk_1337 Lol, I like using "Come Hobbitses! Long ways to go yet!" When going somewhere with friends.
That’s because theoden is a boss!!!
Luis Maldonado
He was the captain of the Dunedain rangers in the remnant of the lost city of Arnor. Yes heir to be King but he couldn’t just come and claim. He needed to proof it!
Rest in peace Bernard Hill. One of the most memorable moments in all of movie history. The sun will always rise no matter how dark in each of our lives and we shall look out for it. Yes...we shall draw swords and courage as we ride out together for each other, our people. Let the horn sound in the deep one last time for Bernard Hill, for he does not stand alone. To the King!
“Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!”- Bernard Hill, Theoden King.
yeah rip hill. But Have the Uruk-hais ever thought of slashing the horses stomachs with swords when the men ride toward them?
"At dawn, look to the east."

And I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal
Samuel Thrift BECAUSE HE INVENTED IT
@@mahfew326 AND PERFECTED IT
Lmao!
This was epic haha
"Theoden King stands alone"
"Not alone."
The most powerful line in the entire series.
Followed by one of the most powerul scenes in the series, "To the king!"
Only rivaled by the charge of the Rohirrim in Return of the King, which says a lot about a movie trilogy that came out almost 20 years ago now! They didn't make movies like Lord of the Rings before or AFTER.
I hope that, should the theaters be open again next year, they'll show the trilogy in theaters to celebrate 20 years. I want to experience the thrills again that I felt when I was 11, 12, and 13.
@@amandanies3174 And I want to see LOTR in a theater for the first time
Still get goosebumps when I see it.
I love when Theoden first sees them and just says, "Eomer". At that moment, Theoden knows the battle is won.
2:05 _For a Wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to._
A.k.a. "I'm a walking Deus ex Machina bitch"
For the hour is late but never for the wizard
I remember the Return of the king pc game had that line in this scene... that game was badass
Its exactly that what I have thought about too....!
I read your comment per accident precisely at the same time as gandalf arrived hahaha
the sun rises over the hill at the exact moment and I cry every time. That's what the magic is in Middle Earth, no fireballs, but the pieces fall into place and the whole universe joins your side right when you need it
When long stick fall in tetris precisely when it's needed most.
No. You ride to die, but on this day, you have been spared, and have fought with honor
For me, it's the music. I get teary eyed every time I hear it. Just freaking beautiful.
thats lukácsian shit :D
The sun of middle earth is actually the last fruit of Laurelin, one of the two trees of Valinor which got destroyed by Melkor. And this heavenly fruit is in a vessel which is guided by a Maia (angel) of Valar (God) named Arien across the sky. So I like to think that at this scene it was Arien that came to help and protect them from evil.🤍😊🌞
I think the most beautiful thing about this scene is that Eomer and his company were previously exiled by Theoden- kicked out of their homes. Still, Eomer was loyal to his king, bringing his company to save Theoden in his time of need. The level of loyalty is insane. After LotR, Eomer became king of Rohan, and wherever Aragorn took Gondorian troops into battle, Eomer was right there with him. Eomer and Faramir are of the highest quality.
Amen.
A chance for captain faramir of gondor to show his quality?
@@nickthegreat9434 the very 'ighest
🤩
There was still War after destroying The Ring?
I'll never forget when the whole theater erupted during this scene. God I wish i can feel that rush again.
Sadly my family never took me to cinema, but the first time I saw this, I jumped up from my seat like an idiot and shouted, it was so exhilirating. 😅
It's sad that nowadays you can't get the same level of chills during a movie in the cinemas 😔
@@Sikkeskatona Endgame would beg to differ... Still, Helm's Deep has my heart
I balled my eyes out!
Jennifer Ariesta Engames final battle wasn’t that good though. It just felt like a little kids smashed his toys together Untill the good guys won. This battle had ups and downs and phases. For example there’s times in the battle in this movie where you said the bad guys blew up the wall it’s over. Then you see Aragon charge with his men to defend the wall so you get a sense of hope. Endgame had none of this and just was visually appealing in my opinion. There wasn’t a time in endgames battle where it seemed the good guys would lose. There were no stakes.
Thats why this scene in lord of the rings was epic. There was no hope Untill they remembered Gandalf’s words. Then you see Gandalf arrive with Rohan and it just brings the best exhilarating reaction especially the first time you see the battle. But still you can see this battle over and over without getting bored.
Part of engames problem is that some heroes were over powered. Like captain marvel. She’s so overpowered that you know she’ll win all her fights. So as a viewer you don’t worry about her.
Also there were scenes in endgame where a hero would randomly show up to help or save another making it seem lazy, adding to the feeling that it was like a kid playing with toys. In lord of the rings when a character saves another at least you had a sense of direction. You knew the general location of each character and where they were positioned to defend helms deep so when a character saved another in there location it didn’t feel lazy because the character was there to begin with
Now I would admit it was cool Seeing all the heroes together in endgame. It was cool to hear Sam say on your left and then everyone arrive like in this scene. But the epicness felt all thrown away once the final battle started because of the reasons I listed above. A wasted potential. The endgame final battle could have been revolutionary, and amazing. Now no one seems to care about it. The Endgame battle could have been talked about for years to come by fans and non fans alike. But no, the Russo Brothers said, let’s just wrap up the franchise by smashing everyone together and being lazy.
Jonathan M well that’s just your opinion though. Still doesnt change my mind that both are utterly amazing
"Not alone. Rohirrim!"
Still makes me cry.
"TO THE KING!"
Part also gave me goosebumps.
@@martmandred9182 For the king bro
everytime..
I like how they were waiting behind the edge of the hill so they can show up epically once Eomer called them
Definitely had to rewatch it like twice
The Rohirrim charging to the aid of the king is epic. But the detail I absolutely love is that Shadowfax is leading the charge ahead of the herd. He is the lord of all horses, and the horses are following him into battle just as much as Gandalf is leading the men who ride them. Thats why I love this visual at 2:37. There's two commanders here in white, not just one.
Also, it took 3 days for Gandalf to be there all because of looking for Eomer's lost sword
An excellent observation.
You said it dude!
Definitely
Holy spirit
Endgame: “We have the greatest battle/charge Scene!”
The Two Towers: “hold my breakfast”
The Return of the King: “Hold my second breakfast”
Peter Parker should have yelled "Forth Eorlingas" when they charged.
Lol
We’re comparing this with endgame now?? Why tho??
winter because they are good movies
LMAO!!
“To the king!!!” -> loyalty
“Death!!!” -> courage
“For Frodo” -> fellowship

Lol Robert Baratheon would have won that fight.
@@starwarfan8342 god was I strong then!
StarWarFan
Robert would’ve died. He would’ve fought more than 7,000 riders, wizard, and 3 princes. And seemingly from GOT lore, nearly every army is 200-2,000 strong.
Minus like 1 of them and since Aragorn could easily bring in the King of the Dead, the Iron Fleet ain’t a problem.
@@masterkerminator8641 nigga what? The starks had 40000 men once they had called their bannerman. The hell are you talking about
@@user-fn4ds7zm1i 25000, not 40000 lol.
The moment Eomer yelled "Rohiirim!" is 100 times more epic than the Battle of Winterfell
Please, don't compare between a masterpiece and a piece of crap.
@@KaelOnAir screw got
It's no comparison. That GOT battle was complete garbage compared to this.
To be fair, that's not very hard to accomplish
Battle of the bastards not of Winterfell you couldn’t tell what was happening
Viggo was the most perfectly cast actor for a role I've ever seen. He was and is Aragorn.
Amen to that
Ok but DID YOU know...
The whole cast is perfect, really. I think maybe Liv Tyler is the only one who maybe wasn't perfect but even then she has uncanny elven qualities.
@@gabrielp8660 fUn FaCt...
Not disputing that he is great but the most perfectly cast actor in LOTR is Christopher Lee.
I remember crying at this scene. When Gandalf appears, a piercing white beacon of hope, alone on top of the rise and suddenly behind him, thousands of exiled come to aid their king. Beautiful. Epic. Powerful fucking scene.
Horrorcide that's pretty fucking gay lmao
I'm pretty sure that this is at least partly based on the Siege of Vienna of 1683, where the Ottoman Empire had been sieging Vienna for 60 days, before a cavalry charge (in fact, the biggest cavalry charge of all time) was led by the Polish King, Jan III Sobieski, and they routed the Ottoman army from the gates of Vienna
Jag Singh he showed emotion so he is gay?
Wow you act like a gay in disguise and im gay myself
Jag Singh Ok well first off there is nothing wrong with being gay. Second I'm female so if anything is hilarious, it's how much of a moron you look.
This is the scene which made The Two Towers my favourite film of the trilogy.
“Aragorn looked at the pale stars, and at the moon, now sloping behind the western hills that enclosed the valley. 'This is a night as long as years', he said. 'How long will the day tarry?'
'Dawn is not far off', said Gamling, who had now climbed up beside him. 'But dawn will not help us, I fear'
'Yet dawn is ever the hope of men', said Aragorn.”
-------------------------------------------
remember that in your worst of times.
The words have even more meaning imo because you know Tolkien saw some shit at the Somme.
Remember his words in today’s trying times, brothers, LOTR is a beautiful part of our culture.
Thank you 🌄. God bless🕊
@double endemnity well that’s because that’s how it was written and there’s no rewriting Tolkien

When I was really little, my grandfather would read The Hobbit to me. When I said I want to read them myself, I remember tears were in his eyes when he gave me his copies of The Hobbit and LOTR he was so happy. We spent hours talking about the things I couldn’t understand yet. When I was 10, Fellowship came out and we saw it opening night and I remember coming out of it asking him if he liked it, he proceeded to say how much he loved it, how much it was like how he pictured it in his head as a kid. We watched all of them opening day. He passed before we could go see Battle Of Five Armies but I went myself silently crying the entire time because that was ours. As a 32 year old man and a father, I can’t read them or watch them anymore without crying. That was our thing. But I will never stop watching them. I miss him so fucking much
May your story remain eternal
Well now I’m crying too. Lovely story.
Oh the way I'm crying reading this, thank you so much for sharing your story and may your grandfather be at peace in heaven 💙
Blessed be your grandfather, a great man for sure.
I can feel you - my father has died in April this year , this movie always reminds me of our bound.
Before Endgame's "On your left." there was LoTR's "Look to the east."
And look to the east still top.😁
@retired cat man well, duh, aragorn battles with knives, swords and bows, meanwhile Ironman is a one-man army, don't compare movies with a medieval time tone, with a technological advanced future movie, power level of characters.

3:06-3:14 the power of good/light briefly blinds the enemy. This moment is powerful and bring me chills over a decade later since I first saw this film.
The power of Light is such magnificent yet so subtle. No wonder dark forces forever will overestimate ourselves and underestimate courage, bravery, honor and loyalty.
Thats why gandalf chose that exact moment to attack
And notably, it’s Gandalf bringing forth the flame of Anor (the Sun) of which he is wielder, also having Naria, the ring of fire!
We see some of it again when he saves Faramir. I mean he uses the Light to repel the Nazgûl and it was beautiful.
Gandalf’s arrival honestly bought tears in my eyes....
its the music that does it. TO THE KING!
Seeing it in theaters was so awesome!!!
To the King!!!!!!
Same here!
Every time!
Sometimes we all need a Gimli to remind us the sun is rising.
No, the horn is enough to wake us
Yeah, truth be told 0:51 wasn't the orc it was just the shockwave from Gimli's hype for this scene, and the directors decided to keep it in the film.
I will NEVER forget watching this in theater. I was a young boy, dragged to the movie by my older brother, completely uninterested in LOTR, had not even seen the fellowship. This scene left me completely speechless and in tears. The greatest film experience of my life.
I’ll always remember being dragged to the cinema as an 8 year old girl by my Nan to watch the first film as she was a fan of the books and really wanted to see the film and I’m so glad she did I watched the other two films with her when they came out
My older cousin took me to an amc to watch return of the king on opening day. I will never forget that experience
Almost identical to my own experience. LOTR is a masterpiece.
Your older brother is damn cool.
I'm with u I was the same didn't see fellowship but I was still enamored by this movie and am huge fan now. Endgame did steal the most powerful movie moment of my life but this was right up there along with return of the king
First place I went to pay respects to King Théoden AKA Bernard Hill.
"I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."
May you rest in peace.

This scene in theaters ... was breathtaking not even words can describe it I wish i could go back in time and rewatch this scene again for the first time
It was utter bliss Prim. An overwhelming goosebump of emotion. People were going nuts.
This trilogy is by far the greatest ever filmed even better than Star Wars. Nothing has come close to this level of storytelling.
@@ryancampbell5039 oh so true The king leading a dozen of riders charging thousands of enemies you can never forget that chill feeling

It was one of those movies that you didn't want to end. Complete goosebumps during this scene.
“The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep...one last time!”

every single time i hear “TO THE KINGGGGGG” i get goosebumps down my entire body. cinematic masterpiece right here
Gandalfs war cry brings a tear to my eye
i like to think of it as the roar of olorin, even trapped in the body of an old man, he remains a powerful being and i like to think we are seeing that bleed through that warcry ^^
@Greybeards if you think about it, it's the case for a lot of beings, sauron is immortal, saruman and galdalf too (even if thet can be lessened by losing their physical form), elves are immortal (they litteraly "respawn in mandos cave/palace), in the end immortality is almost common in tolkien world ^^
Jakeus 25 same

I was there, 15 years old. Was pretty epic when the army marched down the hill
hope to turn back time to see this again in cinema for first time
I watched the trilogy in the cinema and I can tell you it's a lifetime experience... I will NEVER forget it!!!!!! May cinemas around the world consider having the trilogy on big screens again to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fellowship of The Ring and I really hope to see whole trilogy being celebrated like this again. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Peter Jackson really knew what he was doing when he created this timeless masterpiece
@@LokaJohn Why not both?
aah the music ...nothing can match it...not even star wars
Anjay Ranjan music will make or break a movie.
Exactly. I loved what Hans Zimmer and J.N.Howard did with the score for the Dark Knight Trilogy. I think that could go toe to toe with the LOTR score anyday.
Are you high?? Nothing Zimmer or Howard have created will ever come close to matching this. Howard Shore created literally dozens and dozens of iconic motifs and themes and played them out over ten hours (!) of film. This is a masterpiece, I kid you not, the likes of which the musical world hasn't seen in decades and you just compared it to the Dark Knight trilogy, a soundtrack that contains about 3 themes, at most, none of them particularly original or engaging? The Dark Knight is a masterpiece, not of composition, but of production and engineering. Musically though, it's really, really not great. So no, the Dark Knight trilogy soundtrack could NOT go toe to toe with this. It's ridiculously simple and dull in comparison.
There's a reason why the LOTR soundtrack gets voted number one in practically every poll and the Dark Knight never makes the top 20 and there's a reason why this trilogy won 4 Oscars for its music while the Dark Knight trilogy won zero.
Completely agree. In my opinion LOTR is the greatest achievement in the history of film music. The only thing that comes even remotely close is Star Wars, but even that isn't on the level of complex thematic development and sheer scope presented in LOTR. I'm not sure anything will ever come close to Shore's masterpiece.
I think Shores' LotR-Trilogy and Williams' Original Star Wars-Trilogy both stand at the top of Film Scores. Definately the best Music Trilogies and indivdually all in the top-twenty of every Film Score ever composed.
The cinematography of the entire LOTR trilogy is just drop dead gorgeous
Peter Jackson's Magnum Opus.
The cinematograper Andrew Lesnie, who sadly passed away in 2015, was a master of his craft
The music plays a massive part too
@@DCDSG It is a perfect combination of amazing cinematography (and editing), music, story, and acting. A master film.
It was very expensive too
Peter Jackson. You living legend. Thank you for giving us these movies.
3:05 The music. The atmosphere. Gandalfs echoed war cry
I get goosebumps and chills every, god, damn, time. Cinematic perfection.
Me too! Goosebumps even now here on RUclips, eventhough I watched the movie on Sunday 😍
I really love that small detail after Theoden says "For death and glory.." and Aragorn counters with:" (No), For Rohan. For your people.". Theodens expression changes immediately. Like he is realizing something essential.
He realized it’s not about him. It’s about all the lives he was trusted with
Guys, stop, I can't cry anymore.
All the while being inspired by the nearing of Gandalf wearing Nenya, which you can hear by the soundtrack suddenly being a single clear voice.
Let this be the hour when we draw swords together!
One King to another King.
I love that Aragorn knew Gandalf was coming to save them but in order to convince Theoden to ride out and meet them Aragon essentially convinces him to commit suicide.
games of throne battle at winterfell brought me here. needed to be reminded what a true battle scene looks like. what a fucking masterpiece this was. FELL DEEDS AWAKE, NOW FOR WRATH, NOW FOR RUIN, AND A RED DAWN!

dude is different... in ambientance, winterfall won.,... night shouldn't have so much light as helm's deep had... but you cant compare at all, LOTR is still to me the best
"The Sun is rising", the most practical of comments, even in the worst of situations. Yesterday is gone, a new day has come, new problems and also new possibilities. One of those scenes that actually make you shed a tear.
That moment when you suddenly have hope when it seems all is lost is incredibly moving.
Fuck I thought I was just being a bitch for tearin up
I think of his comment in the worst situations and this plays in my head
"We are the fighting Uruk hai! We do not stop the fight for day or night, for fair weather or for storm... what of the dawn?"
None knows what the new day shall bring him. Get you gone, err it turn to yout evil."
Peter Jackson is SO LUCKY that Howard Shore produced such an outstanding soundtrack for this trilogy. So many scenes could have been cheesy or ruined by average music, and the score here just lifts the picture to incredible heights. It never grows old, I get goosebumps each time 🥲
Howard Shore makes these movies
Beacons being lit? Omg
@@kristynerosier2734 lol I get chills just thinking of that scene. So perfect.
Facts man.
It would be catastrophic if they used 2000s pop music like imagine if they chose 'I'm a survivor' 💀
Gandalf- “Theoden king stands alone”
Eomer - “NOT ALONE.....TO THE KING!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most iconic scenes 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. Eomer is underrated as a badass.
Agreed.
Hes my fav character
Karl Urban nailed it as Eomer. I wish he had more screen time, and that it showed more of his heroics.
Those lines really get to me. Even after all the pain and hurt Grima tried to foster between him and his uncle, Eomer still loved him, and came as soon as Theoden called for help. This makes his lines all the more epic.
To the king? I always thought he said "to the keep"
Aragorn, the most selfless and bravest mankind ever to exist.
Jon Snow from GoT is much better
Fei Li Nah. Jon Snow is an idiot and terrible commander, his decisions always cost him his people's lives. The only reason he's alive is because of his bloodline
Jon Snow is a boy, not a man. As much as I adore him as well, he is no where near Aragorn :P
Or indeed, not exist.
Who is the bigger fool, the commenter or the the one who comments on the one who made the comment foolishly, or is it the fool who commented after the the first fool with another foolish comment? Maybe all of the above fools, who commented? Anyway this looks bad on all of us.
"let this be the hour, where we draw swords together." SUCH AN UNDERATED LINE
THEODEN ACCEPTING HIM AS KING OF GONDOR... 🥺
The two swords flashed from the sheath as one.
"Guthwinë!" Shouted Thëoden. "Guthwinë for the Mark!"
"Anduríl!" Replied Aragorn. " Anduríl for the Dúnedain!"
(Anduríl used to be known as Narsíl; it was the sword that cut the Ring from Sauron's hand.)
Such a strange time to suggest an art project, but whatever

20 years later and this scene still makes me feel inspired and ready to charge to the king. Amazing job by the cast and crew
Shadowfax leaping into the horde of Uruks is the most beautiful violence in the history of cinema in my opinion. Simply amazing.
yes
He's the lord of all horses. He knows when to jump over a spear.
@@yorkaturr And when and how to kick the stuffing out of the Orc holding it!
Well, Shadowfax was, after all, a direct descendant of Felaróf, the founder of the Méaras, Lords of horses. Felaróf himself was the beloved mount of Eorl, founder and first King of Rohan. Felaróf was a direct descendant of Nahar himself, the beloved mount of Oromë, of the Valar themselves. So Shadowfax had royal blood in him.
It is something to behold
Don't forget the truly majestical sound design for that horn. I still remember how that sounded/felt in the cinema all those years ago.
I envy you sir, I was a kid when this movie came out.., only manage to watch it on CD which are pirated back then. Of course, I bought the original blue Ray collection to compensate for that few years back. But to watch it in the cinema, must be one hell of an atmosphere
I remember seeing Return of the King with my father and brother at a midnight release, and all of us walking out of the theater in tears. My dad grew up reading the books, and he never ever cries, but I know this series definitely hit him deeper than most movies do. Really put into perspective how powerful these books were and makes me happy to have shared that moment with them.
Imagine if Aragorn, in the heat of battle, forgot to look east and trigger the reinforcement cutscene...
Damn it I've been fighting for 7 hours now wasn't Gandalf meant to- oh *Aragorn and Galdalf make eye contact across the battle*
Loool
Press A to look east.
3:08 gandalf's battle cry here gives me huge goosebumps.
Yeah. It's just incredible.
Amazing.
Yup
Gandalf's Resonance: All ally units get increased Strenght, Speed, Defense and Dark Defense.
Enemy units get Blinded and Stunned while their critical strike chance decreases greatly.
It’s a battle cry filled with hope and strength, rather than rage. It’s amazing.
JUST noticed that at 1:45, Aragorn yells out "Elendil"!
The Lord of the Dunedain. Beautiful.
Sigh i wish i could still play battle for middle earth.
HOLY.... SHIT!!!!!!
He actually does this a lot in the book
My favourite man from the second age with Amandil (dude is hella underrated) 🖤
2:48 almost 20 years and these shots still look fucking amazing, there will never be a series of movies like this again, a true cinematic masterpiece
There's a chance Dune might get there, but then that's the last of the "unfilmable" trilogies. Until someone else creates a masterpiece of similar scale, which they eventually will, but ones like this only come around once every generation or two
Can we talk about the discipline of those Uruks? Quickly shifting positions and forming a pike wall. Well done.
Yeahh. Still dark and they were like going on a party for destroying Theoden King and his empire. Gandalf arrives and they were like "shit".
And then the sun came up and they all fell out of position for several seconds.

It's weird since they're no more than a year old, are they? It's fantasy, I know 😀
Rest in peace Bernard Hill. Thank you for leading Rohan and Middle Earth to victory and for giving us the best king of all time. Fly high 🕊️ and be in peace, king of Rohan!
I love how Eomer is so loyal to his uncle. Despite being banished. Theoden raised them like his own children. ❤
Also Theoden voice when he says Eomer sounds like pride in his nephew
Theoden was "demon possesed" by saruman at that time when he exiled his nephew.so its not theoden's will.gandalf set him free.after theoden died,he(eomer) become king of rohan.
Better to read the book because sometimes filmmakers change the original story.
@@angiealigo4012 all of this is in the movie
@@angiealigo4012 I like to imagine Gandalf finding Eomer and his men telling them Saurman claws have been ripped out of the King and his soul is his free. I imagine Eomer drawing his sword and crying to the King!
Eomer actually becomes king after Theodans death I the books.
Eowyn marries Farimir, who is named Prince of Ithilien by King Elessar (Aragon)
This charge is the most beautiful work of cinematography I've ever seen. Breathtaking. Poetic. Outstanding. Unmatched. Outsold. Outsnatched. I am wigless.
Haha I love it. I feel similarly :)
Wigless?!
This one is second to the shadowfax scene for me.
Same. This was THE scene of The Two Towers. Each film has that special scene and this was it for this film. It always brings tears to my eyes.
i think the way tolkien used magic in lotr was so fantastically well done like so subtle yet still gandalfs magic was always seen as something amazing, yet he never let it feel overpowered or overshadow any of the other characters or story, truely amazing
Cunningflop The funny thing is, I don't even think he used any magic. Remembering his famous words to Frodo; "A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to," and later to Aragorn; "Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day,". I think he timed his arrival perfectly to coincide with the sunrise since the light shines from behind them just as the sun begins to rise.
He did shoot lightning at the Balrog and cast a shield spell kind of thing and then used light to blind Nazgul but other than a handful of spells and like pushes with his staff against Saurumon there was only like spoken spells.
Haman Karn Yeah I remember those, I meant specifically that the sunlight blinding the Uruk-Hai was more down to timing than Gandalf using his powers.
Gandalf is a minor diety, being as he is a Maiar spirit, he wields the Ring of Fire Narya, and mentions being the 'wielder of the flame of Anor'. Anor is Sindarin for Sun. He is thus associated with Arien, the Maiar charged by the Valar with guiding the Sun across the sky.
There is every chance that he used his magic and/or his association with Arien to make the Sun rise when he arrived. Which I actualky find more likely than 2000 Rohirrim waiting for 40 minutes on the other side of that hill while Gandalf says "any minute now".
Tl;dr, I think this was actually Gandalf using his magic. Which would make sense, because his magic was always powerful but often subtle. Quite often it caused things that could be mistaken for hapoy accidents rather than acts of will by Gandalf.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human wow.........
It's amazing how Peter Jackson managed to make not 1, not 2 but 3 great movies. And all in one production.
It’s amazing how well trilogies can be when there is direction and a plan *cough* starwars *cough*
All filmed back to back!
Thats what I call a deducation,I will forever admire Jackson for that
also took 3 years to film! and more time to edit & cut
Which LOTR movie is your favorite?
Me: Yes.
the best. not only lotr, but all movie history.

@@sahilhassan8538 idk
am i the only one who gets gooosebumps when i hear "TO THE KING!!!!" right before they charge?
James Dick Non!
Certainly not the only one 😂
It’s “to the keep”
lonestartalent It’s to the king dumbass try using your ears
@@lonestartalent wrong.
"For death and glory"
"For Rohan, for your people"
"Oh right i forgot about them"
Well at this point he'd given up all hope that his people could be saved, so he's like "well we might as well do this and go out with a bang and die fighting" and Aragon, who still has some hope, is like "nah, if this works we'll fight and live".
I agree completely. Theoden was inspired to die fighting, he had long since lost hope. Aragorn and Gimli's utterances may have given him a sliver of hope, even though he knew they had no chance. Of course when he sees Gandalf and Eomer, he knows he did the right thing and that the next natural thing to happen is for them to all go out fighting the Uruk-hai, win or lose. And it quickly becomes apparent that they will win, miraculously. Miracles can happen, people, but only if you're willing to fight for them.
Lol!! 🤣🤣🤣
xdddd
@@ghostsade3 To be that guy: Theoden definitly was fatalistic at this point, but he didn't need help in deciding to attack in the books. It's just a little switch of dialogue by the movies, to make Aragorn be more important to the situation.
Just a small change of course, but it takes a bit away from Theoden.
R.I.P Theoden King. Hail the victorious dead 👑 ❤️
Hail 🍺
So this is from 2002 and in 2019 they have x20 the money and technology and GOT can't make massive epic battles. oh LOTR will remain the one true masterpiece
This is called difference in between passion and marketing
@@albertsanz2424 damn bruh!!!!
That was good
For epic battles, Sergei Bondarchuk's Waterloo was even better. Bondarchuk had the advantage of the film being part-funded by the Soviet Union, so he got to borrow an entire division of the Red Army to use as extras.
CarzorStelatis yeah i’ve seen that one, doubt we’ll ever ser something like that again, but still lotr is simply amazing
@@albertsanz2424 Additionally, there are no dragons in this scene too because who needs them... This scene is just *chef's kiss*...
"Not alone" is quietly one of the most bad ass lines in the entire trilogy.
What. a. scene. Unbelievable.
This scene makes me tear up every time I watch it. This is the greatest trilogy that has ever, or will ever be made.
Everyone who worked on these films should be (and probably is) immensely proud of their accomplishment. This scene alone - even out of context - is unbelievably powerful and beautiful. Well done.
Agreed. You can find the website of the artist who came up with he design of the Balrog and he says to this day it is the design that he is the proudest of.
The way they composed it, that the music actually emphasizes Gandalfs magic... just masterfully crafted.
How is it possible to watch the same exact scene thousands of times and to get the same exact shivers every single time you watch the scene! Pure unparalleled cinematic brilliance! Thank you Peter Jackson for this eternal cinematic gift, and thank God for the existence of the cinematic art!
Theoden is the best character in the whole trilogy coz of Bernard's beautiful acting. I'm genuinely hurt by his passing 😢
"Yes... yes! The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep. One last time.
Let this be the hour that we draw swords together.
Now for wrath. Now for ruin. And a red dawn!
Forth Eorlingas!"
You forgot “fell deeds awake”
Gandalf had told Aragon that Theoden will need him in the end. And when Aragon said “ride out with me” you can see how Theoden’s courage is renewed. He is not going to fight to live but to go meet his ancestors in glory and bravery. It is such a goosebump moment the whole convo between them. And when Theoden sees Eomer he feels happy and relieved. I love how much they love each other uncle and nephew (and now heir to Rohan)
@crazyandfashionable another thing I really enjoy about this scene, is yes gandalf told them look on the fifth day etc. But none of them actually knew if gandalf would be able to make it. So this is all essentially based on hope and makes it even more beautiful honestly for me.
The movie that redefined fantasy genre on screen. And let Game of Thrones become adapted to television. Surely one of the greatest movies of all time
atif syed Unfortunately Game of Thrones has turned shit
@@nischay4719 no, game of thrones is definetly top Tier series.
But lord of the rings is lord of the rings.
It's not game of thrones that's it's shit, it's actually insanly good, it's just that lord of the rings is abnormally good.
Game of Thrones top whaaat??? After Winterfell??? Its garbage
John Morrison let’s hope the book actually comes out before George dies cause I swear man the show really died and committed suicide
Breathtaking. They don't make films like this anymore.
And they won’t for a long time.
Watch "Waterloo" to see really epic battles.
Lol
@@czzp77
my favorite moment is when gandalf says "theodin king stands alone" and eomer says "not alone...."
So many GoT comments under LotR videos 😂 I was a massive fan of that show for the first three seasons, then I became a casual fan. But the Lord of the Rings... It’s been my passion for more than 15 years. Everything about it is just so unique. It’s incomparable, no matter what!
The thing is GoT was great because of the scheeming. Lotr was great because of the fantasy badassery it had. There was no magic shit in GoT.
Default Name and LotR has its fair share of tragedies too, so it’s not like everything was going right for the characters. Meanwhile, GoT is realistic, to a certain extent, but feels kinda random and forced at times (something that was never seen in LotR).
Dark lores watch it. You won’t regret it.
@Default Name Even moreso, the LOTR is a black and white world. It is very clear what is good, what is bad, but the characters are more complex than that. Just look at Gollum, and even Frodo, who decided at the end to keep the ring for himself.
It's not just LOTR, Tolkien's universe overall is untouchable.
"The Rohirrim sometimes referred to themselves as Eorlingas"
Everything in LOTR has like 6 different names...
@@lucianomeira8392 The Rohirrim have their own language as they originally lived within their own territory along the Anduin river. "Eorlingas" derives from their first King Eorl who got the lands of Calenardhon (originally the north part of Gondor) as a present from the Steward Cirion after the Rohirrim helped Gondor to win against some eastern invadors. The land's name then changed to Rohan, which means 'land of the horse lords' :)
Also known as "Whoop-ass on horseback enmasse." Roughly translated from the Gaelic "Ar an gcapaill."
@@b-chanhatysa3150 It has been over 15 years since I have read either The Silmarillion and The History of Middle Earth but I bet you have too. :P Either that or there is a brief history prior to their introduction in The Two Towers. I also read that book 15 years ago.
@@joelcosita It's been waaay too long since I last read the Silmarillion xD To be honest I bothered the (German) Lord of the Rings Wiki page for the details because all I could remember was the fact that the Rohirrim fought for Gondor and as thanks got land for that ^^' The Wiki refers to some of the Lord of the Ring books, the Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth and Letters from Tolkien as sources.
Read the Silmarrillion.
Has a name dictionary at the back so you don’t get lost XD
I always lose it when Gandalf leads the army and the beautiful sunlight shines behind them, it’s so pure and full of hope. Good will always rise against evil!!!
2:50 seriously that shot is one of the most beautiful shot in the entire trilogy

What a scene, my mouth literally hit the floor when I saw this in the cinema, just stunning
Like a painting come to life
Lots of acknowledgement to Bernard Hill (Théoden King) who learnt to ride just so he could properly portray a King of Eorlingas, the horsemasters
Every detail of this scene is amazing. I even like Gandalf’s slight head nod at 2:11 showing his approval of the badass display before him. To me it reads, “Theoden king found his balls. Knew he would.”
"Let your balls breathe the free air again, my friend."
“Ride out with me, ride out and meet them”. Words that will always give me the chills
Gandalf: "It's over, Uruk Hai, I have the high ground!"

@@alfredocubelo1109 You & You again.
well GOT is just LOTR's rip off, starting from the anthem valar morghulis, valar are in silmarillion, morghulis are the morguls blades, they took it and place it on another meaning, so fak it
I whish GOT did this good of a job
Game of thrones has some absolutely brilliant writing you can’t deny that. It’s never easy to maintain such a high standard all throughout. I was dissatisfied with season 8, but you can’t discredit the show as a whole. I mean lord knows what LOTR could have turned out to be given the same seasonal structure.
I think game of thrones peaks were actually higher than LOTR peaks although it’s mighty close.
1:52 When your at the back and there's no more orcs to kill so you just pretend your doing something
Yeah, they also want to take the credit, well u know😄😄😄.
Just swing your swords around guys, we'll add the orcs later.
@@kapsi orcs are actual people, theyre not cgi
"...you're gonna see more of it in the second and third movies, but i've kinda been using less prosthetic orcs and more digital orcs, and i'm really happy. I'm doing what I wished I could have done 12 years ago where we didn't really have the means or the technology to do it properly back then, but we do now. So I think our Orcs, certainly coming up in the next two films, are going to be pretty formidable and scary creatures compared to what we have done in the past."

@Nobody, I heard that one twice. Two men said they finally had all the technology needed to film the stories 'they've always wanted to tell' . One was James Cameron and he ended up with a CGI sci-fi version of Dances with Wolves (few people talk about this movie these days). The other directed the Star Wars prequels.
@@thorbenlockenvitz3686 while I agree the orcs had the scarier gruesome look they certainly lacked intimidation. There is just something about looking like you have a tumor on your face that beats all the scarring.
"The sun is rising" ... probably one of Gimli's most epic lines.
"Ride out with me..." When he finally put aside the ranger and became what he was meant to be.
2:09 The Fellowship theme, a theme that symbolizes hope and eternal friendship. What a perfect scene.
This is just truly masterful film-making. The acting, the visuals, MY GOD THE FUCKING MUSIC. Tears every goddamn time.
All that music is the genius of Howard Shore. I believe he won an Oscar for the LOTR music.
Hans zimmer wishes he was this bad of a bitch
I remember watching this scene in theatres for the first time when I was in elementary school. This scene was the first time in my life I was brought to tears from awe and amazement. The visuals, the soundtracks, the symbolism all came together to perfection. It’s a moment in my life I’ll never forget. It still gives me chills to this day.
