Dude keep it up, I love your deep dives more than you will ever know. I hope you can do one on Joker since the second movie is coming up soon! Thank you.
thank you so much for keeping the **There and Back Again** segment in your video. it. hit. me. Hard. thank you, erik. that you for reminding me of that.
These videos are a huge undertaking. Between being a new dad and everything else Voss is trying to do, I’m just glad he didn’t completely abandon it. Nothing wrong about taking some time and reassessing goals. I’d much rather have one awesome deep dive a month than Eric get to the point where he hates doing what he does.
I really appreciate this. I think the best time I had making one of these was the analysis of Mad Mad Fury Road. Not that that was my best video, I don't really know, maybe it was, but it was the first one in a while where I really had to slow down and take time with it, and I ended up just loving the explorative places I could go with my analysis. That's how I want to approach all of these. I want to live with one great film per month and put everything I have into it.
@@DeepDiveNR There's more and more video analysis content farms out here every day and I'm so grateful that the DD turned out to be the opposite, rather than a second channel to increase content. I cried when you cried about not being ashamed to care so much about movies. Horse boysssss
@@DeepDiveNRcan you do Unforgiven by Clint Eastwood? It’s a complex story and has an amazing cast who practice subtlety. Absolutely LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
When Return of the King won every Oscar, that was the most fun watching the Academy Awards. Not only because I loved all three movies, but because I had watched all the extended DVD extras and felt like I knew all the crew.
I was fully immersed in the lord of the rings fandom by that point along with my mom and sister, and the energy of that Oscars night with them winning it all was legitimately like the Super Bowl for us.
Well I held it together until the family photo at the end. Thank you Erik, for being our Samwise. So much of your own personal time is spent giving us entertainment, knowledge, and wisdom; and not a second of it is unappreciated. Thank you for every video you do Erik!!
It's an interesting perspective that Frodo dives at Gollum, as an act of heroism. I always thought he was just pissed off that Gollum now had his ring and that's why he attacked him.
What a jaw dropping ending to a video. It almost felt like the whole thing culminated and the true story was Voss’s journey of deep diving all along. Well done my guy. Beautiful family and beautiful conclusion to a fantastic series.
1:12:23 and remember, the Numenorean line is Elrond’s line too. The kingdom of Numenor comes from Elros, the twin brother of Elrond who chose, like Arwen, to give up immortality and live as a mortal man. In seeing Aragorn crowned Elessar, Elrond is also seeing the redemption of his brothers House and Line, a brother he has not seen in ~6,000 years. With Isildur, Elrond saw his brothers line fail and break. And you can see Elrond’s despair that “the line of Kings is broken.” Which means so much more to him. But in Elessar, Elrond sees his brothers House healed. The line of Kings is redeemed.
1:06:45 I haven't seen anyone online mention this, but I always enjoyed the scene where Sam saves Frodo and Frodo reaches out to grab Sam's hand BEFORE the ring is destroyed. It's another moment of redemption where I imagine that the ring still influences Frodo, but somehow, through sheer willpower, he can fight past it and defeat its influence by saving himself.
I cried at the end of this video. I’m sure some others found it corny, but as a Tolkien super-fan and relatively new dad-this hit me so hard. I am so happy to see you and your beautiful little family happy. We love you, but your family loves and needs you even more. Than you for opening up and sharing this with us, with the world.
If I had to make a list of my top 10 favorite movies, Return of the King is easily in that top 10. An absolute masterpiece. Keep up with the incredible work Erik.
“You can only come to morning through shadows”. Kudos Erik in completing this hefty task of breakdowns. I appreciate your hard work and dedication, no matter how long it takes, as well as your honesty with failure and how it shapes us all. Very well said in your closing… and congratulations on “being back”!
There are many moments in the trilogy that make my hair stand on end, but the one I think of most often is perhaps Theoden's speech and the Charge of the Rohirim. The footage, the editing and the music are like a triple whammy of soul food. Just sublime.
1:14:53 I've been in a relationship with my husband for nearly 12 years. We've had a lot of hard times but finally were able to get married last month. This line made me cry because even though we weren't officially married, I've felt this for a long time! Love this.
Eric, as a new father myself. I absolutely love your new found love and emotional connection to your content. I appreciate EVERYTHING you do. Thank you
The way this movie was the last, and yet at the end we thought Frido would've just kept the ring and all of that journey would've been for nothing was what made this could. It exceeded the expectations I had, and showed so much gore as well. Great movie.
I'm not one to normally post, but I feel like I need to today. ERIK VOSS, I would just like to express to you my admiration and appreciation for all the work that you do. The care and detail of every single INVOSSTIGATION you do astounds me. You truly love what you do, and it shows. That love transcends through your work and continues on to every one of your viewers. Whenever I get to watch one of your videos, I consider it a highlight of my day. You and the whole New Rockstars team have been a source of joy on days when it was hard to find. I appreciate you taking your time. Keep doing what you’re doing. Whenever you feel burned out or overworked, take some time for yourself and your beautiful family. You deserve it. All of you do.
Thanks for your dedication, Eric. One small addition: at the end when Bilbo answers: "Oh, Pity", he might as well be talking about his own pity towards Gollem that made the end of the story possible, incuding the 'losing' of his ring by Frodo.
To try, is not to fail. But, fail to try, is to fail completely. Thank you for these deep dives into the books and films in what is (and I speak from experience having two children myself) an overwhelming time in your life.
Oh my stars! Perfection! Thank you! I always love this series but how beautifully you tied it to our own failures but finding success in our connections and relationships is so heart-aching! If only 1 DEEP DIVE a month is that well done - OUTSTANDING AND THANK YOU! Enjoy every moment with your little one. You will never regret time invested in your family.
Becoming a parent truly is an act of courage. It’s the hardest job you’ll ever have. But the moment to moment joys and reflection along the way will balance that difficulty. I wish you, Eric, and your family all blessings in the years to come. From a parent near the end of the journey, to one who is just setting out.
Eric, you are a master at your craft. Waiting for this was very much worth it, and it was very cool to have you end on such a humble note. Congrats to the Deep, congrats to your family. Very excited to join you in the future.
Eric you did a great job with this film breakdown. I just finished watching the two towers and return of the King breakdown. I forgot how great those movies were and how many emotions you could feel. Thank you so much for doing these breakdowns. As a father myself, I can’t wait to share these movies and books with my children. I feel this channel is here for those are a wanting a deeper understanding of film theology. Do not burn yourself out because those who wanna watch the channel will always be here to watch it.
I just finished one of my usual revisiting of watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy this past weekend…it’s something I can watch over & over again and never get tired of it or lose interest. The amount of work that went into telling these stories on the screen never ceases to amaze me. Then I found your channel and proceeded to watch all three of your deep dive breakdown of each movie…how much work you must have put into this…simply incredible. And unlike some of the other analogies I found on RUclips…your videos never put me to sleep because it was so well done and so entertaining and interesting. You covered so much of each movie and the great part was that I was fresh from watching the trilogy again so everything you covered surrounding the 3 movies, I remembered and understood what you were talking about. Again…an amazing job on the videos!
Eric, you deserve a standing ovation for these breakdowns! Thank you foendoing this and giving us all an eye opening and different perspective to these and every movie you break down. You, sir, are an inspiration. Thank you and to the staff.
You are doing amazing Eric! Thank you so much for breaking down these awesome movies. They are one of my first fandoms and hold a special place in my heart. So to hear you talk so lovingly and respectfully about the source material, cast and crew, and the films themselves makes my nerdy heart full of joy.
Erick Voss, you may never see this comment (and I’ve never commented on a RUclips video) but as a new-ish father I can’t tell how much your ending comments about your new journey got to me emotionally. Thank for the hard work that you put into everything you do but must importantly into shining a bright light on what’s important!
Finally able to finish watching this breakdown. It’s been on my iPad for months. This is your very best Eric! It moved me to tears. God bless you and your family.
52:53 there’s no F# in a G Major chord… it’s either a Gmaj7 chord or taking the G Major chord and expanding the top and bottom note by a half step (semitone) to go to an inversion of B Major. The F# exists in both keys, but so does B and E.
And yet, if your video release schedule had gone according to YOUR plan, we would not have gotten this beautiful testimony of what you endured and further confirmation that despite the fact you and your team churn out those New Rockstar videos at a breakneck pace, you are in fact still a human being. Thank you for covering one of the most important movie trilogies in my movie watching history and for being willing to be so real with your viewers. God bless you and your family.
Well worth the wait, Erik! And you got me at the end with your sign off and the photo of your lovely family. Other more important chapters that are full of the bravest thing you’ve ever done, indeed.❤
Wow 1 year already. Well done. No need to rush your work for your fans. Been waiting for this review when this series began and knew that all good things come in time. Have a bite of lembas, looking forward to your other works.
thank you erik for opening up to us about how you were feeling and what was going on. i was wondering why it was taking so long between each new video on this channel, but i also understand these are huge undertakings. you must be spread so thin with just the new rockstars content, let alone the break room. anyway, no need to apologize. thank you so much for your amazing in depth analyses. you are my favorite reviewer/analyst out there for all content. keep up the great work, and congrats on your new family!
Voss, this was SO worth the wait. These three videos are probably my favorite on all of RUclips. Thank you for putting this work in man, thank you thank you
One little detail about Faramir and Denethor that i never really saw mentioned is that when Faramir is leaving to die, Gandalf says "Your father love you Faramir. He will remember it before the end". Then going to Denethor final moment he looks at Faramir and calls his name seeing that he is still alive which i always interpreted it as him feeling relive and happiness that his son is still alive
I enjoy all of your breakdowns Voss as I found you forever ago with your original marvel breakdowns! Can’t remember which one, but you always make your videos so interesting and amazing! I love learning about these films (and more) in true detail especially as someone who has never even read a single comic book! It’s clear that you’re passionate about everything you do as I hope you’re enjoying the father life as well! Bless you Erik! Can’t wait to watch this video throughout the day! Edit: wow! Truly wow! Thank you again Erik and I hope you can take a rest before diving into your next series! Regardless of how long they make take, I will be here supporting you like everyone else I’m sure!
killed this erik! what a journey these LOTR deep dives have been, thanks for reminding me of my love for these films and the hard work with these breakdowns
Thank you, Eric! Your channel, your timetable and your rules. I'm here for the ride. And thank you for those wise words! As a parent with slowly ascending professional career I relate.
You brought tears to my eyes sir. Addiction is a weight no, one, can carry alone. I can hear/feel that you know something about this. No matter the side you've lived, you are a good man. A great human. Both sides hurt, but both sides can help heal the other.
@1h mark...This is why IbLove Erik Voss Soooooooo Much!! That was soooo well said! Having struggled with major depression/personality disorders since my early teens & substance abuse for about 10+ years, the "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you" always hit me hard, and made me appreciate ALL my family & friends that never gave up on me! This has been wonderful! Love the Deep Dives sooo much! Thanks to Everyone that helps make these videos happen!
Well earned awards to everyone that worked on this series. This has been an epic journey for the Lord of the rings and I don't think I have felt the emotions hit as hard remembering these great moments. Thank you Deep Dive crew for bringing us back to middle earth on a great cinematic journey but also letting us connect better with what truly was conveyed for us so long ago. 😊🙏😭
Been a fan since day one for both NR and DD. fantastic job and worth the wait! I love your analysis and thoughtfulness on deep dive videos and we're all behind you for all time. "Well I'm back" indeed.
An hour long video a month??? That’s incredible pacing. Retrospective channels for video games normally take months to come out and I feel like this is comparable. You’re doing great. Keep it up!
Voss, you did not fail! You persevered - trying, learning, and growing into a better way of doing things IS success. I firmly believe that every time a RUclipsr (or people in ANY profession!) decide to make a change because they bit off more than they can chew is worth celebrating. Even more so when family is involved. Either way, thank you for these incredible videos. And thank you for taking care of yourself!
Thanks Eric for all the work and effort you put in to everything. Always have to take time for yourself and family, we'll always be here whenever You're ready to share with us what you want. Cheers.
I've got two little ones myself and I know how difficult it is juggling work, being a good dad, and a good husband can be. But this LOTR series has been nothing but exceptional! Keep up the good work! You are awesome!
Cant believe i hadnt seen this breakdown yet. Im a huge fan dating back to 2016-2017 area on your New Rockstars page. Do not dare apologize for being burned out rd christmas last year. I am in the process of having my 1st born with my wife, finally finishing my bachelors degree at age of 39 and can totally parallel the exhaustion. I will not allow you to get down yourself. I found the new rockstars page accidentally one day breaking down one of the MCU films to my godson/nephew mere months before the passing of my own father in march of 2017. Yours and your co content providers/ conworkers very elaborately detailed breakdowns and explanations of so many different movie titles and genres since the creation of all your channels helped me and my nephew/godson get thru a very painful and scarring moment in our lives and have always looked forward to anything you release. Thank you for so many beautiful breakdowns and articulate explanations since the beginning and going forward.. this video breakdown was phenomenal and wish i coulda seen it when it first came out. I look forward to so many breakdown/ explanation videos in the future and just want to say thank you for everything so far my good man😂
These videos as well as the movies themselves are huge triumphs. No matter how long it took we know there was care put into it. Thanks Erik for the great videos!

Yeah they do, big boi. Who needs motion in the ocean when you need an excavator to lay that pipe
Cirdan wore Narya not Gil-Galad, Gil-Galad wore Vilnya which he passed to Elrond
thank you so much for keeping the **There and Back Again** segment in your video. it. hit. me. Hard. thank you, erik. that you for reminding me of that.
Everyones job is hard3
"My friends, you bow to no one," gets me bawling like a child every time.

Literally the only thing that made me cry in that whole series
Oh man me to.

"oh. pity.."
It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand...
I was fully immersed in the lord of the rings fandom by that point along with my mom and sister, and the energy of that Oscars night with them winning it all was legitimately like the Super Bowl for us.
I still remember the moment Return of the King won its last Oscar. Steven Spielberg opened the envelope and said “It’s clean sweep.”
Well I held it together until the family photo at the end. Thank you Erik, for being our Samwise. So much of your own personal time is spent giving us entertainment, knowledge, and wisdom; and not a second of it is unappreciated. Thank you for every video you do Erik!!
Same same. Bawled at the end

And a decent snippet of singing.

But the first film only came out 23 years ago?

I've been looking forward to the return of deep dives thanks everyone!
Thank you for hanging in there. I needed to finish this quest, but I'll be better about these going forward.
There should never be pressure for things that are only supposed to bring enjoyment so take your time!
I cried at the end of this video. I’m sure some others found it corny, but as a Tolkien super-fan and relatively new dad-this hit me so hard.

I feel the gray rain curtain pulling back
Let’s gooo! Just rewatched the Two Towers Deep Dive last week. This is perfect timing, Voss & team! Ty 🙏🏽
Well, "perfect" would have been four months ago, haha! But I appreciate it nonetheless!
@@DeepDiveNR family comes first!
Thank you Eric and The Deep Dive/New Rockstars team for always give me a new reason to rewatched some of my favorite movies.
Enjoy!
This is such a good series, keep up the great work Eric & New Rockstars!
It's the most challenging film analysis series I've ever done.

From the bottom of my heart. Thanks for pouring yourself into this. It’s been a great series of breakdowns. Man what an amazing run!

Thanks, Erik. Great work on these.
I knew right from the start that DD is something of a personal channel to Eric. And personal cannot be rushed.
Take all the time you need. We'll wait.
To try, is not to fail. But, fail to try, is to fail completely.

Thank you and to the staff.
A profound thank you Erik (and New Rockstars). Taking the time to complete your Deep Dive and give it the credit its due was well worth the wait.

Eric you take a day off ya deserve it brotha. I was looking forward to this for a while. Big ups bruv.
Voss, this was SO worth the wait. These three videos are probably my favorite on all of RUclips. Thank you for putting this work in man, thank you thank you
One little detail about Faramir and Denethor that i never really saw mentioned is that when Faramir is leaving to die, Gandalf says "Your father love you Faramir. He will remember it before the end". Then going to Denethor final moment he looks at Faramir and calls his name seeing that he is still alive which i always interpreted it as him feeling relive and happiness that his son is still alive
Yeah I don't take it as delusion, I think he had a final moment of clarity looking at Faramir, realizing that he has love for him
I enjoy all of your breakdowns Voss as I found you forever ago with your original marvel breakdowns! Can’t remember which one, but you always make your videos so interesting and amazing! I love learning about these films (and more) in true detail especially as someone who has never even read a single comic book! It’s clear that you’re passionate about everything you do as I hope you’re enjoying the father life as well! Bless you Erik! Can’t wait to watch this video throughout the day!
Edit: wow! Truly wow! Thank you again Erik and I hope you can take a rest before diving into your next series! Regardless of how long they make take, I will be here supporting you like everyone else I’m sure!
I watched the extended edition properly when you started these deepdives and have been patiently waiting for this!! Thank you Eric 🔥
Same!!
killed this erik! what a journey these LOTR deep dives have been, thanks for reminding me of my love for these films and the hard work with these breakdowns
Thank you for taking your time, Erik.
Thank you, Eric!
Your channel, your timetable and your rules. I'm here for the ride.
And thank you for those wise words! As a parent with slowly ascending professional career I relate.
You brought tears to my eyes sir. Addiction is a weight no, one, can carry alone. I can hear/feel that you know something about this. No matter the side you've lived, you are a good man. A great human. Both sides hurt, but both sides can help heal the other.
@1h mark...This is why IbLove Erik Voss Soooooooo Much!! That was soooo well said! Having struggled with major depression/personality disorders since my early teens & substance abuse for about 10+ years, the "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you" always hit me hard, and made me appreciate ALL my family & friends that never gave up on me! This has been wonderful! Love the Deep Dives sooo much! Thanks to Everyone that helps make these videos happen!
No need to apologize! Great analysis, and tying it back to the original text.
Congratulations on finishing these! You did an incredible job.
Love all the NR channels man, don’t burn yourself out. I’d much rather you just deep dive into the films you want to do when you want to do them 💜❤️💜
Well earned awards to everyone that worked on this series. This has been an epic journey for the Lord of the rings and I don't think I have felt the emotions hit as hard remembering these great moments. Thank you Deep Dive crew for bringing us back to middle earth on a great cinematic journey but also letting us connect better with what truly was conveyed for us so long ago. 😊🙏😭
Been a fan since day one for both NR and DD. fantastic job and worth the wait! I love your analysis and thoughtfulness on deep dive videos and we're all behind you for all time. "Well I'm back" indeed.
These three videos are great, Erik! I didn’t have a chance to watch them until the last week or so, anyway, so no hurry
Eric Voss, you Sir have shown your quality: the very highest!
This was beautiful; thanks, Erik!
39:45 Eric says, Gandalf's line is the midpoint of the movie. It is also the midpoint of the video. Good job!
An hour long video a month??? That’s incredible pacing. Retrospective channels for video games normally take months to come out and I feel like this is comparable. You’re doing great. Keep it up!
This 3 video series is probably my favorite on RUclips i loved them , thank you very very much for finishing this !!!!!
This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy to see this trilogy of analysis finally complete.
Voss, you did not fail! You persevered - trying, learning, and growing into a better way of doing things IS success. I firmly believe that every time a RUclipsr (or people in ANY profession!) decide to make a change because they bit off more than they can chew is worth celebrating. Even more so when family is involved.
Either way, thank you for these incredible videos. And thank you for taking care of yourself!
Thanks Eric for all the work and effort you put in to everything. Always have to take time for yourself and family, we'll always be here whenever You're ready to share with us what you want. Cheers.
I've got two little ones myself and I know how difficult it is juggling work, being a good dad, and a good husband can be. But this LOTR series has been nothing but exceptional! Keep up the good work! You are awesome!
Good for you for taking the time you needed to on this, Erik! I'd way rather just get one of these a month ish if it means you're good!
Cant believe i hadnt seen this breakdown yet. Im a huge fan dating back to 2016-2017 area on your New Rockstars page. Do not dare apologize for being burned out rd christmas last year. I am in the process of having my 1st born with my wife, finally finishing my bachelors degree at age of 39 and can totally parallel the exhaustion. I will not allow you to get down yourself. I found the new rockstars page accidentally one day breaking down one of the MCU films to my godson/nephew mere months before the passing of my own father in march of 2017. Yours and your co content providers/ conworkers very elaborately detailed breakdowns and explanations of so many different movie titles and genres since the creation of all your channels helped me and my nephew/godson get thru a very painful and scarring moment in our lives and have always looked forward to anything you release. Thank you for so many beautiful breakdowns and articulate explanations since the beginning and going forward.. this video breakdown was phenomenal and wish i coulda seen it when it first came out. I look forward to so many breakdown/ explanation videos in the future and just want to say thank you for everything so far my good man😂
Crushed it my dude! You all rock and Patience is a virtue, and we will wait! Thank you all ❤
We appreciate you taking your time in making this! You did not fail at all. You are expecting too much of yourself.
These videos as well as the movies themselves are huge triumphs. No matter how long it took we know there was care put into it. Thanks Erik for the great videos!
