“I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed.”
RIP Bernard Hill
This really hurts me.
Dear Bernard Hill, rest in peace. Hail the victorious dead.
Hail the victorious dead
RIP
Eala þeodnes þrym
RIP Bernard Hill, King Theoden. You now lay in the halls with your fathers in whose might company you shall not feel ashamed.
Earth and Middle Earth seems so much smaller now.
As a kid, Legolas and Aragorn were my favorite characters, but as you grow older you idolize king Theoden as you realize that there is no man stronger than the one who overcomes his demons and rise again..
Literally was coming here to say just that. He embodies what “normal” men go through, the ups and downs and although he doesn’t always make the right decisions, he fights for what he deems right without fail.
True story. As men, we can relate so much...
Likewise, always felt the same, as I grew older, Theoden has in my heart become the the real king in this series
I agree King Theoden fall and rise is a true testament of humanity knowing there failures and able to recover and lead dispite over whelming odds.
How hasn't this comment got more likes its so true
First place I came after seeing Bernard Hill passed. A great portrayal of a great man, by a great actor. RIP.
Same here 🙏🏼
Another one of my childhood and adult heroes gone too soon. RIP Bernard Hill.
For Death and Glory
He was 79 so that wouldn’t necessarily count as too soon in my view
"If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end, as to be worthy of remembrance."
RIP King
In the books, when the rohirim arrives at the pelennor fields upon the battle of Minas Tirith, it was said that when King Theoden saw the army of Mordor and its numbers, he looked like an old man again, about to flee back to the mountains and hide. Then the wind hits him and he proceeds to blow a horn so hard that it splits into two, before charging into battle and his death.
Even though king Theoden is fictional, he is a man everyone should aspire to become one day.
Another excellent part there: when they charged into the battle (Then the Winged Hussars arrived!) (oh wait, wrong war), they weren't screaming "Death!" like they were in the movie. They were singing. "And so fair was their singing that it carried even into the City." But after Theoden died at the hands of the Witch-king, no more the Rohirrim sang, but cried out in one fell voice, "Death!"
I guess it connects to the movies somewhat, idk if the producers did this on purpose, but when he was about to flee, he was basically saying, "what can men do against such reckless hate?" but then when he charged he was basically doing what aragorn said, "ride out and meet them!"
@@stardestroyerism Personally i preffer the death speach because it perfectly underlines that this charge literally was a suicide charge for Rohan. The army was like 70% of Rohans male population. After this Rohan would never be the same. Theoden led his country into a suicide charge with close to zero odds of victory despite knowing full well his country will most likely not survive this and he will not fight for his own but for everybody else that would be spared. It was to be the last charge of Rohan. One glorious last time.
@@noobster4779 close to zero. But not zero.
Think that's the thrust of it; if something truly evil stands before you or yours, and the wager you make is victory or death. It is your duty to stand as hard as you can for as long as you can, because to not fight, is even worse than failing.
A big theme in LOTR is to meet challenges, and overcome them. Boromir, Theoden and Denethor all faced challenges, but only Theoden overcame his challenges - to go to war against Saruman, to aid Gondor and in the end to make the final charge. He was indeed worthy to meet his ancestors without shame.
Frankly I think that Theoden in the movies are a bit to young and fresh. He was past his prime, and would in the best of times spend his final years teaching his son the art of kingship, make good marriages to Eomer and Eowyn (the children of his sister, and of royal rank) and in general prepare Rohan for the next king. Instead he has to bury his son and go to war - a war he knows can't be won (at least by conventional weapons - discounting some hobbits and a Ring). Respect!
“Imagine a King who fights his own battles... now wouldn’t that be a sight”
-Achilles
Most did or they would not be Kings,go away with your comunist propaganda.
gospa ironija do you have any facts to back up such a claim?
@@user-ty4uj1gz7g well... On the Iliad Agamenón did fought spear in hand.
Martin Guerra Yes and Alexander the Great led his men into battle many a time, I would never deny that there were great kings who fought their own battles... but he said “Most” which is a very different claim.
Most kings did fight their own battles up until the 17th century (as in active battle role), sometimes a bit later, and even afterwards they retained a battlefield presence for command purposes (a dedicated, rear command had become a necessity due to the nature of war changing). Modern times have seen that more rarely indeed. Medieval times and a bit closer: Henri IV of France, Leon and Aragon | Sebastian I of Portugal | John of Bohemia | Edward the Third | Henry V (I mean, who doesn't know that one) | David II of Scotland | George II (around the 1700's, so a bit later) | Richard III | Albert I king of the Belgians (and not of Belgium, as per their constitution) in 1914 | Louis XIII of France | Napoleon (he had been an artillary commander rising trough the ranks, and as emperor still commanded from the rear). There are many more, but I selected a few from all over Europe that might ring a bell (mainly from England, because I'm more familiar with them, but I tried to include others).
The thing to understand about kings fighting battles is this: If the king dies during battle, you most likely just lost the entire war, put your country in jeopardy on the political scale, and shortened the potential lifespan of your house if you lacked heirs. The reason why the more we go back, the more kings took risks, is because the more we go back, the more king meant "local warlord dude with 50 men that asserts power over three villages". As time went by, and territories grew, so did the nature of war and politics. They had to shake the habit of putting their leaders at risk, and change mentalities concerning noble character and war. It always was a balance between political caution and political fame/glory.

Death!

Rest in Peace Bernard Hill, King of Rohan.
"Hail the victorious dead."
I think theoden had one of the most complete story arks in the lotr, he completely changed processing the death of this son, dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts to then over coming fear of death for a greater cause. True OG
He was not an elf, not a wizard, nor Numenorian, he was just regular man, a King who was only trying to protect his people. With all the human flaws and treats. Truly great character.
Marcin Tanski Idk why, but i got really emotional reading your reply
@@marcintanski8549 I totally agree. The fact that he is a "lesser" man rising to the great challenges of his time, is more relatable (to me at least) than what Aragorn did and does a better job expressing the "Strength of Men".
@@stefanjuckes5166 Aragorn has the love story and the weight of his destiny as isildurs heir to contend with
He was directly contrasted with Denethor
No parent should have to bury their child.
Such an emotional line....
Let's not forget that Theoden is not only a great king .....coz he's also a loving father.....
@@darcyliz9993 And a loving uncle
Bernard Hill heard a woman tell him that after her child died. It touched him so much that he demanded the line be put in the film.
Damm in the a similar scenario played out in lotr backstory with one of Theoden's ancestors which was the infamous Helm hammerhand, he died after his two sons where killed by dunledings!
This line Get’s me everytime
The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep, one last time.
R.I.P. Theoden King
Poor man died thinking he was a lesser son of greater kings, when in truth he was probably the bravest king Gondor and Rohan has ever seen.
Remember Earnur who went Witchking's lair for 1v1
@@justlikethativ873 There's a difference between being foolhardy and brave, Earnur was foolhardy.
@@thehistoricalgamer are you fucking serious ? I respect theoden but he shit himself when witchking got him there was fear in his eyes so be careful about who you call foolhardy
He felt lesser while alive, but at his death, he states that he Will not feel ashemed in his forfathers company
Cough cough fenfgonfin
Ughhh... I'm not crying...

Game of thrones (TV Show) failed, Star Wars failed, but The Lord of the Rings will forever be the GOAT. No series or film has even come close.
Markonefifteen I would love to agree with you but you have to think about the hobbit
Aidan Hendricksen isn’t LOTR
Aidan Hendricksen despite how bad the hobbit was at release. It’s behind anything put out now on 2015-2020. It could’ve gone so bad. I think I aged better and the story is there but it was terribly executed.
@@yestoES355 It was done in the rush.Peter wasn't originally suppoused to direct it but some other guy who quit at the last moment.So Peter had to work with what he had,thus CGI is used where Peter would usually look for location,wait for makeup to be done or even build the whole sets.
@@aidanhendricksen4832 I agree that the Hobbit was poor, but unlike Star Wars and Game of Thrones, it didn't spit at all over the rest of the material, so it's way more easy to live with it.
As amazing as the depiction of the Ride of the Rohirrim is in the movies, it's somehow even more epic in the book. Theoden isn't simply out in front of his men, he's charging headlong into the enemy at such great speed that the rest the army can't catch up no matter how hard they try. The battle-fury of his fathers burns like fire in his veins. Dawn breaks behind him, his golden shield shines like the sun and the grass flames into green beneath the feet of his steed- his appearance is so majestic and fierce that he looks like a god of old. The Riders of Rohan see him and they aren't simply encouraged or psyched-up, they go so completely berserk that they start SINGING even as they smash and hack through the armies of Mordor like a tidal wave hitting shore.
I truly wish we'd AT LEAST gotten the singing
THIS i didn't know/remember, damn
At last he halted once again. The City was now nearer. A smell of burning was in the air and a very shadow of death. The horses were uneasy. But the king sat upon Snowmane, motionless, gazing upon the agony of Minas Tirith, as if stricken suddenly by anguish, or by dread. He seemed to shrink down, cowed by age. Merry himself felt as if a great weight of horror and doubt had settled on him. His heart beat slowly. Time seemed poised in uncertainty. They were too late! Too late was worse than never! Perhaps Théoden would quail, bow his old head, turn, slink away to hide in the hills.
Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering. Far, far away, in the South the clouds could be dimly seen as remote grey shapes, rolling up, drifting: morning lay beyond them.
But at that same moment there was a flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white, its topmost tower like a glittering needle: and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great boom.
At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. 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. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.
Fingolfin would be proud
The battle of the Pelennor Fields really captures Man's strength. Even the evil men fight to the bitter end.
Theoden is the most badass character in LOTR. Not a hero or a legend, but a human, a leader made of flesh and blood
Agreed. But one I would follow into battle.
I disagree. Aomir is the most impressive pure human warrior in lotr. All that he did and yet he never lost hope or stopped fighting even when his country burned and friends and family betrayed him and chaos all around his nation he loved. His neighbors and allies ignore cries to aid. His king is bewitched and kicks him out as a traitor. Did he go rogue or hide or leave Rohan ? No Aomir kept fighting the good fight and led by example and mustered the rohimmir all over Rohan and ready when his king came to his senses and called for aid. He is the best. But theoden is close indeed along with fairamir whom I personally enjoy and relate to at times. But Aomir is the best lotr human warrior leader by far.
Like Boromir
@@joedemelfie5509 who the heck is aomir?
@@joedemelfie5509 your opinion
Théoden has to be my favorite LotR character, and there are so many great characters. He has this grim humility despite being a king, and it’s so badass.
"I know how to defend my own keep, master dwarf." Théoden was a legend.
He's severely underrated. It's criminal.
Hes my favorite! KING!!!!!!!!!!!
@@artifexdei3094 He is my favorite on how badass is he and the quotes he does is amazing
@@vincefromph9264 ako basta gusto ko na leader talaga siya, wise feels maganda pag dala din Nung actor.
"I go to my fathers. In whose mighty presence, I shall now not feel ashamed". I don't think any death has hit me like Theoden's
I really believe Bernard Hill should've got a supporting Oscar nod for his role as Theoden in the Two Towers. He just captures an entire generation of the hardship of being a king while also trying not to crumble himself.
Many of the actors were more than worthy of best supporting actor in LOTR.
"I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company, I shall not now feel ashamed." - Théoden Horse-Master, King of Rohan, Lord of the Mark.
“He was strong in life. His spirit will find its way to the halls of his fathers. Westu hàl.”
Rest in Power
RIP Bernard Hill. This video definitely hits different today.
RIP Bernard Hill, you won't be forgotten.
The scene when Gandalf frees Théoden:
- "I know your face... Éowyn"
When he dies:
- "I know your face... Éowyn"
I have no words to tell how great this is...
Shulky I think the words you’re looking for are: “I know your face... Éowyn.”
Shulky I cried like a baby when I saw it in the theatre! And I first read the book in 1965!
It's the release. Both times he was freed from shackles. First from slavery to Saruman and thenfrom his mortal coil and the pain of life. Both times Éowyn ws there too welcome him, like a guardian angel.
I actually never noticed that...
"No parent should have to bury their child" that line makes me cry every time
I’ve watched this about 50 times since yesterday
Bernard Hill passed on today. Underrated actor of his generation.
Bernard died today. He'll always be my king. And the guy who sank Titanic.
HA HA HA.
Long live the rider, may longer the steed.
Long sail the father, to distant seas.
Long carry the king, for all his deeds.
May you rest my king, and be at ease.
May he spread his seeds
From under the hills, and over the trees
Just as the wind over the seas

RIP Bernard Hill. You go to your fathers. And even in their mighty company, you shall not now be ashamed. 😭😭
RIP Bernard Hill, Theoden King, you gave us all this unforgettable performance, for this we will always be grateful.
Be at peace now.
I was gutted they left out Theoden slaying the King of the Easterlings in the Battle of Minas Tirith. It was the moment of completion for his character arc whereby he had achieved a feat worthy of song like his forebears, he overcame the enemy cavalry and plunged his spear into the serpent kings chest and captured their banner, routing them from the field.

Beautiful
Wasn’t the serpent king a Haradrim king
@Caleb Weiberg Yeah its been some time since I read the books if i'm honest, Uni keeps you busy. Ironically I did read Tolkien's most famous academic essay 'The Monsters and the Critics' about a week ago which is a fantastic read.
RIP Bernard Hill, a legend who walked the earth. ❤
RIP Bernard Hill
I like how Theoden & Denethor's stories kind of mirror each other's. Both are rulers who lost a child. However, while Theoden dealt with his grief in a relatively healthy way, didn't let it defeat him (in fact, you could argue it strengthened his resolve), and maintained his honor and dignity, Denethor was crippled by his grief, lost all of his honor and dignity, and became a mere shadow of his former self.
Even their names are almost mirrors of each other. Just reverse the syllables:
Theoden - Denothe
Denethor - Thoreden
Denethor was also way more competent in the books than he was in the movies. In the movies he sent Faramir out to his death, whereas in the books what happened was Faramir had come back from Osgiliath before it had fallen, and Denethor sent him back out to continue defending it.
In the movies, Denethor was a madman, in the books he was conducting a defence in depth strategy that was about the best he could do with the forces he had, and it was only after Faramir was apparently dead that Denethor really lost it.
I also find it interesting how Tolkien managed to link the despair the Third Age back to the First. In that final charge upon Pelennor, Theoden is compared to the Valar Orome in his fury and wrath, and the only other character I can think of to be compared to Orome was High King Fingolfin in the First Age who similarly rides out for one last charge after the breaking of the siege of Angband. Theoden, Denethor, and Fingolfin all came to point where they believed that there is no hope for their people, but both Theoden and Fingolfin decided that they would meet their foes upon the field rather than wait for their doom.
Rest in peace, son of Rohan. And thank you for making memories for milions of fans.
Horn of Helm Hammerhand, shall sound in the deep, one last time!
The thing about tlotr is that you get fully fleshed out characters within only 3 movies. Theoden only gets 2 movies to build up his character and even still you feel it all. You feel his growth, his sadness and anger. You see him get out of this shell of a man and become a great king. It all ends with him staring down evil and giving his life for the greater good of his people. Truly an amazing character, my favorite one from the series.
True. And even better, Boromir only gets one movie and still does it all so well.
The way the line "To whatever end..." is delivered by Bernard Hill. The chills. Each and every time. Not to mention the absolute power of "We shall have peace, when the lives of the soldiers whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the gates of the Hornburg are avenged ! We shall have peace." This actor was one of the gems of the cast.
Although he has sadly left us, Bernard Hill's legacy will always be assured as a result of his incredible performance as Théoden. He was utterly perfect for this role in every way.
Forth, and fear no darkness, Bernard. You will be missed.
"We shall have peace. We shall have peace when you answer for the burning of the Westfold, and the children that lie dead there. We shall have peace, when the lives of the soldiers, whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the Gates of the Hornburg are avenged!
When you hang from a gibbet, for the sport of your own crows, we shall have peace."
Hard to negotiate with somebody after you have tried to exterminate their people...
Chills, truly.

In Theoden's mind, he strongly believed that the race of man was doomed, that they would fail. When he arrives at Minas Tirith you can see despair cross his face momentarily when he sees wave upon wave of enemies. Despite all of this, he led from the front and fought with courage. A true leader.
RIP the king who answered and rode for a death
"Now for Wrath, now for Ruin and the Red Dawn"
Badassery
Where now is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
RIP Bernard Hill, our Theoden King
Rest in peace my King. Go now to your fathers. And even in their mighty
company you shall not now be ashamed..
Rest in peace, Bernard Hill. A tremendous actor and a tremendous loss.
God, Theoden has to be one of the greatest kings in cinema history, he’s just so damn human. He falters like everyone else yet he always continued on whether with a little bit of help or not, not to mention he was a good man. May you be united with your son in the halls of you fore-bearers my king
All hail the King!
LOTR shall remain a Masterpiece forever. I wish I could lose myself in the LOTR world, never to return.

Take me along..
Hope you have room for more hobbits on this boat!
You should try to bring some of that magic into your life in this world :)
Rest well Bernard Hill, our Theoden King... Hail the victorious dead
I don't know why, but Theoden was always one of my favorite characters, I think it's because he has relatable fears, real tragedies, and great deeds in spite of them
Lord of the Rings. Best movies ever made. I am happy I witnessed them in the cinema 2001-2003!
Me too. And watched the extended dvds multiple times. I had a last project. Read the books, watch the behind the scenes and then watch the movie. But I stuck with the third book many years ago, many others things comes in my life in the mean time. So it still on the list. Maybe with Blu-Ray.
I envy you so much.
It truly was a golden era, never forgotten. The music inspired a lot of my writing
bloody hell, i was just born then :D
Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises! Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! DEATH!!! Forth, Eorlingas!.
that scene gives me goosebumps everytime!
@G E T R E K T 905 Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!
Theoden blamed himself for his son’s death and he never forgave himself for it. From “The young perish and the old linger” to “I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed.”, Theoden was in some ways, the most heroic character of the movies. He was the most human, that’s for sure.
The most bone-chilling pre-war speech. Never fails to give me goosebumps.
Hail the victorious dead.
Hail! 🍺
King Theoden, Bernard Hill passed away.... He goes to join his father's, in whose mighty company he will never feel ashamed.
RIP Bernard Hill, the King I would follow to whatever end.
"Smoke then, and think of him, for he was a gentle heart and a great king and kept his oaths; and he rose out of the shadows to a last fair morning"
Westu Theoden Hál
The Hall of Mandos awaits you King.
Hail the Victorious Dead.
Hail to Theoden King.
Breathe the free air again my friend...
The bravery of men who have fought evil, yet ride out to meet it again, not without fear, but with determination.
RIP, Bernard Hill!
He was strong in life. His spirit will find the way to the halls of his fathers.
RIP Bernard Hill
When you get older and you rewatch these movies its funny how you start to see story unfold from perpective of the "lesser" characters and you find a new appreciation to their story archs.
REST EASY KING. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
He truly understood Theoden as a character and portrayed him beautifully. One of my favourite performances in the trilogy. Rest in peace.
Swords raised! RIP, Bernard Hill!
Eomer became a king of Rohan after king Theoden died
and rip Gamling he died too in the battle of pelennor fields
Gamling died with honor he didnt fear no darkness
is it described somewhere how he died.?
@ If I'm not mistaken Theoden speaks of him and the slain Rohirrim being mutilated by Uruk-Hai when they are at Orthanc, negotiating with Saruman
Hennack but in the movies Gamling fought at the pellenor fields against the mumakil riders. but laybe its diffrent in the book.
SirSpliffaLot 46 ahh, sorry, I was referring to the books, but it seems that I was wrong, his fate seems to be not further described
Who’s here after hearing the tragic news? Live well King Theoden
Rest well Bernard.
"My body is broken. I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."
Hail the victorious dead!
RIP Bernard Hill Ere Sun Rises !!
The Rohirim are the true heroes of the books. They are a small nation only recently recovered from a massive crisis, and they follow Aragorn and their King Theoden to fight the largest most terrifying army on the planet. Theoden and his people were rightly praised by Elessar in the epilogue.
Rest in Peace Bernard Hill "Our King Theoden"
Amazing tribute for King Theoden who proved a worthy ancestor of Eorl the young. Theoden went from desperation to legend. Rest in peace King Theoden (Bernard Hill)
There are some actors who have so much conviction in their words and their movements that you feel them in your very soul. Bernard Hill is one of those actors.
"We shall have peace."
Aragorn was always my favorite character but as I grew up I found myself really relating to Boromir and Theoden. Great characters.
thats cause u are a human. the most human characters are boromir and theoden.
@@dukes2874 I disagree. The most human characters are fair amir and Sam wise gamgee.
@@dukes2874 theoden is great sure yah as human. Boromir represents some but not all of humanity. To be human is to have free will to choose. Not everyone makes poor choices like Boromir. But they do die with honor. Fair amir and Sam are proof that even in the mist of war... live and death.. you can do your part and not get caught up in the evil going on all around on both sides even at times. They served and saved middle earth too. That is human as it gets too. You can learn from others mistakes. You don't have to make them yourself to know it's not the best choice.
@@joedemelfie5509 everyone has no flaws. Boromir had flaws. So he is the most human after all. Easy to corrupt and manipulate
@@dukes2874 being human doesn't mean we have flaws. Being human means we have a mind and body and spirit. Being human means we have free will and not always given into animal nature like the rest of nature on earth. Being human doesn't mean we are flawed and made mistakes. Sure overcoming your flaws is great but in the end, it was a poor choice of free will. You can choose not to be flawed. We all make mistakes in the end... but some way more than others. Like grema worm tongue compared to someone like fair amir. Both are human. Both lived entirely different lives and far more honorable. Worm tongue isn't more human because he chooses evil more often. You don't have to give into your desires especially selfish conceited vain unethical ones... it's called character. Something Tolkien speaks of much in his middle earth lore writing as he develope characters.
"Then the Riders of the King's House upon white horses rode round about the barrow and sang together a song of Théoden Thengel's son that Gléowine his minstrel made, and he made no other song after. The slow voices of the Riders stirred the hearts even of those who did not know the speech of that people; but the words of the song brought a light to the eyes of the folk of the Mark as they heard again afar the thunder of the hooves of the North and the voice of Eorl crying above the battle upon the field of Celebrant; and the tale of the kings rolled on, and the horn of Helm was loud in the mountains, until the Darkness came and King Théoden arose and rode through the Shadow to the fire, and died in splendour, even as the Sun, returning beyond hope, gleamed upon Mindolluin in the morning.
'Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising
he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
Hope he rekindled, and in hope ended;
over death, over dread, over doom lifted
out of loss, out of life, unto long glory'"
[LOTR, book VI chapter VI]
Got shudders just reading that
It almost 23 years and still this movie hook me in. and now I'm here because another Legend died and for that i will dedicate this one to start watching Lord of the Rings Triligoy again. RIP King of Rohirrim. Bernard Hill AKA Theoden the King. 👑
" Your men, my lord, will follow you to whatever end". I wish I could follow a king.
Edit: Rest in peace, Bernard Hill.
"There is one who I could follow. There is one I could call "King"."
This looks like a trailer for a Rohan Spinoff
Would be awesome if they do a movie as long as it is directed by Peter Jackson.
A Rohan spin-off would be B.A.
RIP Bernard Hill! We will never forget you! Best king performance!
May the Maiar guide thee....
And sing your legends along side Eru himself...
Rest in peace...
King of Rohan....
Rest in peace Bernard Hill, captain of titanic and the King of Rohan. May you find peace and fly high 🕊️❤️
Honestly one of the most badass kings in all of film history
the "no parent should have to bury their child" scene actually works as a great save the cat moment for Theoden.
LEGEND. RIP KING THEODEN. RIP BERNARD HILL. 👑
Rest in piece, the King of Rohan
Theoden is all that is good and noble and worthy in Western Civilization
He was far from perfect. He was vulnerable to the corruption of Wormtounge . He was full of doubt and fear and guilt and despair. But he would ride out to meet the orcs,, come what may.
"Too few. Too few have come. We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor" "No... we cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless."
"Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising
he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
Hope he rekindled, and in hope he ended;
over death, over dread, over doom lifted
out of loss, out of life, unto long glory. "
Rest in peace my 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!”
For death and glory, Bernard Hill. Rest in peace.
Hail the victorious dead. my fav character in LOTR RIP
RIP Bernard Hill
Go to the halls of your fathers. In their mighty company you shall not feel any shame.
Rest in peace, King
Theoden was anything but perfect...and that's why he's perfect!
My king, your fathers await you. Go now, and be at peace.
RIP Bernard Hill
