Live action vs animated. I remember seeing it on TV. Let's be real though. Rotoscoping doesn't really hold a candle to live action with a big budget. Also...."FfFffrooodoooo of the nine fingers..." That song still lives in my head.
Bro she said "that old" like it was long before her time, meanwhile I remember growing up watching it, I've never had a movie that came out during my lifetime described as "that old" before aahahhfbsoksnrj
I’d imagine the literal translation would still be “Mount Doom”. Just like it would have been technically correct to call Melkor “the dark enemy” instead of Morgoth which sounds cooler.
Gandalf? The real chad is Tom Bombadil. >Enters the story >Makes the ring vanish in his hands >Brings it back >Saves Frodo and the hobbits >Doesn't explain who/what he is >Leaves without explanation
I recently learned that Gandalf actually went to him at the end of the story to better learn how to remain uninvolved in mortal affairs. Really plays into the theme that real heroism is helping others rule themselves rather than making them dependent on you.
LOTR is the beginning of the fantasy genre as we know it today. Elves, dwarves, halfings, orcs, wizards, all of that stem from the Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship laid the groundwork for DnD parties today. I love Lord of the Rings, and I'm so happy that Bao got to experience it
5:25 I love how different the masculinity of Aragorn is compared to that of most "action heroes". He is tender, loving, a friend of his friends, loyal. He can exercise violence, but he also prefers not to do it. He doesn't hide his pain. The physical contact and closeness with Boromir on his last moments were beautiful. The emotions, the care, the vulnerability. We rarely find male characters like Aragorn, and that makes him extra special IMO.
Fun fact: this is how things were in the 70's and 80's. Masculinity was severely impacted by the LGBT movement at the time which would co-opt many masculine behaviors and declared them as gay in efforts to be more mainstream. You'll note in old pictures from that time, men had their arms around other men that were their friends. We wore short shorts that girls all wear now. That's all gone now. Men still confide our feelings with friends but its a very private affair now and much more rare than before. And with the younger generations it seems almost non-existent although I could be wrong. It wasn't done around women though so that hasn't changed.
The LoTR movies were a formative experience of my childhood. I always loved fantasy, but these movies were on a different level than anything else I had consumed, videogames, books, movies, shows, etc. 10-11-12 y.o. me were on the edge of the seat and my brain chemistry was forever changed. The sound so loud that the beautiful OST made my whole body vibrate. These are the epitome of movies that you have to watch in a good cinema room, on a big screen and with loud sound. It is not surprising that from time to time they do re releases on cinemas. I cannot wait to bring my nieces and nephews, and my own children one day, to have this first experience in a movie theater. I keep an eye on our local theater to check when they are planning to do the next re release.
I think its amazing that Lotr has reached new people outside its time and outside its demographic Tolkien wrote for the British, his works have a lot of intricacies that only the British people would get ( In particular the British folks of his day but still matters to this day to us current brits), Yet he wrote in a way that it meant his works were still enjoyable despite that , this has lead to his works still being enjoyed to this day and by people he never wrote for.
The books need to be read to get the full scope of everything. The movies do a good job but there is only so much you can fit in them. Example, in Return of the King, when Theoden shows up with his Riders and gives that epic speech, it was a death speech. Early in the movie they mention how they didn't have that many reinforcements show up. When they get to the castle and see the host army, they realize they're outnumbered at possibly 7 to 1 odds, and that was just those in the rear from which they were attacking. Theoden intended to go do his duty regardless of that fact even if it killed them all. It was a suicide run and they all charged in anyway. It was a supreme example of fulfilling an oath and doing your duty despite adversity, themes which played heavily throughout the books. I mean look at the actual speech and description in the books. The movie speech doesn't compare. "Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before: Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed."
Dear god, I've never heard a movie that came out during my lifetime described as "that old" "impressed it held up" before 💀 Is Bao even that much younger than me? I'm 28, I'm not old! Movies that came out after I was born aren't old movies yet, right? Right?
The one bao to zoot them all
And in the jarness bind them
Perfection
Bao: "A movie that old..."
Me, who first encountered Tolkien in The Hobbit, 1977: *Withers away to dust*

'Mount Doom' was only ever a nickname/ name given by the humans. Its real name is Orodruin. So...
NEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD
(oh god I knew that I’m such a nerd too)
True nerds know they actually call it Amon Amarth and "Mount Doom" is only the translation in westron
Okay, but Orodruin sounds 10x better
I’d imagine the literal translation would still be “Mount Doom”. Just like it would have been technically correct to call Melkor “the dark enemy” instead of Morgoth which sounds cooler.
The best trilogy ever made.
I'm glad you enjoyed both series and are a fan!
I wonder if she's thinking of reading any of the books?
Gandalf?
The real chad is Tom Bombadil.
>Enters the story
>Makes the ring vanish in his hands
>Brings it back
>Saves Frodo and the hobbits
>Doesn't explain who/what he is
>Leaves without explanation
Don't forget the banging tunes he sings

It makes me overjoyed when new people not only watch or read LotR but genuinely enjoy it. My love of the Halfling's leaf has truely muddled my wits

@@randallsanchez3161are you seriously blaming gay people for toxic masculinity? Good Lord.

Also, find yourself a friend like Samwise Gamgee and your fortune will be greater than that of a king.
Looks like BAO the vtuber is back on the menu boys.
This is the most down-to-earth I've seen her, wow!
I think its amazing that Lotr has reached new people outside its time and outside its demographic

Long video but totally worth it
Shadow Money Wizard Gang is... Cash money.
1:40 I also love the first the most, but the sequels are near-perfect as well!

starting to realize people didn't go to the theatres to watch this movie and the second as well as the third. I'm old now.... yay
Mt. Doom isn't a silly name!
If she didn't thirst for the wargs I'll be very disappointed.
LOTR, or should the film trilogy be called ”Andy Serkis and friends”?
Now watch ring of power and witness how they butcher galadriel character
Dear god, I've never heard a movie that came out during my lifetime described as "that old" "impressed it held up" before 💀
Is Bao even that much younger than me? I'm 28, I'm not old! Movies that came out after I was born aren't old movies yet, right? Right?
