It says a lot about these movies that you can see a live rendition of the movie score over 20 years later live in a theatre. Greatest trilogy ever made.
A film so good it made perhaps the best war movie of all time not win what it deserved. Master and Commander : Far Side of the World. An absolutely perfect war movie, overshadowed by this. 2003 was hell of a year for films.
I don't know why but every single time I watch this scene it makes me tear up, it did the first time I saw it in the theater and it has the dozens of times I've watched it since.
@@logandarklighter I think it speaks to something very deep within us, a call to duty and of honor, and of sacrifice. We may not see it often nowadays in film, but to face certain death and to sacrifice oneself so that others may live is probably the noblest acts of heroism there is.
It's the idea that there is good in the world that is worth defending. Even if you fail in the end and all falls to darkness, it is still right and good to defy the fall.
this hits so hard, you are watching the movie on the big screen and then you snap back to reality and understand that the orchestra itself is playing it live in front of you this is what out-of-body experience really feels like
Это на самом деле эпично! Вот только оркестр надо слушать, и только после того как он закончит своё выступление нужно одарить его овациями. Ну а тут мы наблюдаем, что данное выступление то и дело прерывается свистом (хоть и одобрительным), аплодисментами... Из-за чего просто напросто не слышно музыки...
We had the exact same experience at the Royal Albert Hall for the first 2 films, ROTK is playing later this year. You're 100% right in that it was an out of body experience!!!
this is how it was done originaly when cinema appeared there wasn't any sound recorded so u had to have a litttle orchestra playing at the back, and they had (yes) to synchronise with the movie while not being seen
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 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 straightaway 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 this 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 darkness was removed, and the host 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.
I adore this passage from the book and I think the movie scene really did it justice. Both are amazing, moving and inspiring. I am brought to tears every re-read of this passage and every rewatch of this scene. Plus the gorgeous music in the film really adds to the impact of the moment ♥️
“Arise, arise, riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending!"
Truly the pinnacle of the trilogy. And the trilogy is the pinnacle of film. What an amazing experience it must have been to see it performed live! Though the music was about 5 seconds behind haha
What's crazy is that was 6000 horsemen. In real life the Winged Hussars led a charge during the battle of Vienna not unlike the situation here that involved 20 thousand riders. This was in real life. Just imagine that.....
I believe that Tolkien would have known about the Winged Hussars and their charge at Vienna and based part of the siege of Gondor (and Helmsdeep) and the charge that the Rohirrim did on the Winged Hussars charge at Vienna. Sabaton has a great song called the Winged Hussars and youtube has scenes from a movie about the siege of Vienna.@@soul0travel138
I imagine the wings sounded like a clothes pin pinned to a bike tire (if you ever did that). Imagine 6000 horsemen coming at you with that sound. Imagine what that sound and amount of horses did to the horses of the enemy. Yes, the music is wonderful but it drowns out the sound of the charge of the horses and thunder sound of their hoofs hitting the dirt.@@petrpinc7695
And so might the Ottoman Turks felt when they saw the Winged Hussar charge down that hill in the Siege of Vienna, 1693. The largest cavalry charge in history.
@@davidyehuda306 « At nightfall, the Russian troops were short of ammunition and without reserves, and Benningsen decided, against the advice of Knorring, Osterman and Lestocq, to retreat towards Königsberg. »
Tears every time, the line "Courage...courage for our friends". To look Death in the eye and welcome it, to charge and ride with the sun rising at your back, for ruin and the world's ending!!
I love seeing how the audience was moved to shout and cheer, and just imagine hope great it would’ve been to be one of the musicians playing and hearing that, and joining in that energy. There is a powerful thing in humanity unifying for a noble purpose, and it’s one of my favorite things about this life.
The rider at 3:47 always made me laugh as a kid. Now I'm in college and this scene never fails to make me want to pass out, the score and scene is overwhelmingly awesome.
Got me crying in the office on my lunch break! These movies mean so much to me, and the Ride of the Rohirrim is so moving. To see a live performance combined with the visuals like this would be a dream come true. And personally I think it's nice for the musicians to get the "rock star" reception for a change. I'm sure if some of them don't like that sort of atmosphere, then an understudy would happily step in for these types of shows.
Shows you how much a King can rally his men that even someone watching would be rallied ! Nothing makes you more fierce than knowing you are fighting alongside your king.
I love how the concertmaster (blone-hair violinist next to the conductor) was rocking out that violin solo at 2:50, she was definitiely getting caught up in the moment.
Immer, wirklich IMMER und egal wie oft ich diese Szene schon gesehen habe, habe ich Gänsehaut. Und mit dem Orchester.. Meine Güte. Würde ich das erleben, ich würde einfach weinen. Aaaaah ❤ diese Filme und Tolkiens Welt bedeuten mir so unendlich viel.
I was there with my brother! It looks epic in the video, and believe me when I say it was x100 times better in person. If you have the opportunity go to enjoy a movie with an orchestra playing!!
I have watched these films so many times in the past two decades I have lost count and these scenes, all the key scenes still move me to the core. I still get emotional, I still cry. What a masterpiece. The soundtrack is perfection and it made the world real. How I which to experience something like this one day. Hopefully once my daughter is a bit older, we can go together.
Don’t mean to start a cultural battle but, LOTR is my Star Wars. I feel so connected to everything about it. Unlike Star Wars, the messages and feeling of hope are SO much stronger in these films. I cry a little inside when someone can’t feel things watching this trilogy.
The crowd is epic! I would have also scream my lungs out . One of the most epic scenes ever ❤ I have watched this movie over 50 times and still have goosebumps
The way the music just gives you a sense of dread to begin with seeing the size of the army they have to overcome and with every second the way it makes you feel the belief then when they are riding to battle the music gives you the sense of acceptance, relief and empowerment that they will overcome this it’s just a epic song amongst many many of the best orchestrated music in this whole trilogy
Literal goosebumps! Man... humans have come so far... A group listens to another and makes a movie, another group records, broadcasts it using efforts of a group that made it possible to record and replay and another group plays music tuned to the first group while yet another group of humans follows along listening and feeling and clapping and cheering..... just...wow....
This has got to be some movie tradition hearing the audience shout out “death!” when the ride of rohirrim begins. This is just beyond awesome accompanied by the epic orchestra.
Each of the 3 films are all so amazing, each film feeling significantly better than the last and yetz at the same time, going back and watching it all again, it still has that same feeling of being better than the last time. This trilogy will NEVER get old to me. I watch the extended at least 3 times a year and i never regret any second spent watching it
There's been many a time when on a live performance of a classical concert listening and seeing the most exquisite performances from all the musicians I could barely hold my composure - this one is epicness and emotion on another whole level with all the audience along for it. I also truly respect the amount of coordination and right timing you need across all people involved to bring this to reality - a feat of human creation and capacity.

This scene chokes me up every time. @3:25 Merry yelling "Death" just gets the tears of happiness going. I've seen all 3 in theatres upon release, bought the VHS's when they came out, bought the DVD's when they came out, bought the Extended Boxset when that came out, bought the Extended 4K Boxset when that came out, watched the theatrical re-releases & caught them on TV. IDK how many times I've seen the trilogy, but it's easily over 500 times. I watch the Extended Trilogy at least 5 times a year, plus all the other places & formats, so I'm probably nearing 1,000.
Самая лучшая массовая сцена, наверное за весь прошедший и будущий период кинематографа. Никакая битва бастардов и рядом не валялась. Вряд ли пересматривая битву бастардов или какую-либо другую массовую сцену вы ощущаете чувство причастности и вам тоже хочется кричать "На смерть" "-В бой! В бой, всадники Теодена! Копья вздымайте, щиты крушите! День сечи, день славы, вперёд на встречу заре! В бой, в бой, в бой, последний бой этого мира! На смерть! На смерть! Смерть! Вперёд, эорлинги!"
Полностью с Вами согласен! Как по мне, да и не только думаю, это величайший фильм в истории. В нём идеально всё, как просто кинематограф, так и соотношение фильм-книга. Я был в нереальном просто шоке, когда будучи уже совершеннолетним прочитал книгу и понял, что фильм - это что-то невероятное 😊 Понял, что лучше экранизаций какой-либо либо книги я в принципе не видел 🤷♂️
The whole room yelling "deaaaaaaatthhhh" is just absolutely insane and SO awesome!
I got goosebumps! I wish I was there!

The Charge of the Rohirrim is one of the most epic and glorious scenes in cinematic history.

One of the most epic scenes in cinema. Now imagine how much more epic it would have been if Theoden got more than half the spears he hoped for.

Don’t mean to start a cultural battle but, LOTR is my Star Wars. I feel so connected to everything about it. Unlike Star Wars, the messages and feeling of hope are SO much stronger in these films. I cry a little inside when someone can’t feel things watching this trilogy.
I prefer not to choose between the two :)
@@KixSlim YOU MUST CHOOSE… for your children’s children’s children sake! For the good of mankind! Choose with CONVICTION!
star wars is good but LOTR is king, it's not even close. Please don't kill me SW fans
The crowd is epic! I would have also scream my lungs out . One of the most epic scenes ever ❤ I have watched this movie over 50 times and still have goosebumps
Not even gonna lie, if I saw this live I'd be crying my eyes out soon as those strings start playing, Im done
doesn't matter how many times i watch this scene tears every time.
Started watching just to get a taste but stayed for the whole thing
The audience yelling "DEATH!" was amazing.
The way the music just gives you a sense of dread to begin with seeing the size of the army they have to overcome and with every second the way it makes you feel the belief then when they are riding to battle the music gives you the sense of acceptance, relief and empowerment that they will overcome this it’s just a epic song amongst many many of the best orchestrated music in this whole trilogy
Goosebumps - tears - every time.
Did not expect this to bring me to tears. These movies are so awesome, and hats off to the orchestra.
Literal goosebumps! Man... humans have come so far... A group listens to another and makes a movie, another group records, broadcasts it using efforts of a group that made it possible to record and replay and another group plays music tuned to the first group while yet another group of humans follows along listening and feeling and clapping and cheering..... just...wow....
I lost it when the room started yelling “Death” with the movie. EPIC.
This has got to be some movie tradition hearing the audience shout out “death!” when the ride of rohirrim begins. This is just beyond awesome accompanied by the epic orchestra.
How does it cause one to have so many goosebumps
Would kill to see something like this live.
It's poetry in motion...and sound to boot❤
Gods what a glorious day!!
I can´t avoid crying every time I watch this scene and hear this music. Brilliant.
Brought a tear to my eye!
I've watched this so many times in the past month. Morning motivation before work!
This scene almost brings me to tears. It reminds me of the Brotherhood that I had with my fellow Marines 20+ years ago.
One of the best scenes in cinematic history. Gives me goosebunps each time again 👌🏽
Each of the 3 films are all so amazing, each film feeling significantly better than the last and yetz at the same time, going back and watching it all again, it still has that same feeling of being better than the last time. This trilogy will NEVER get old to me. I watch the extended at least 3 times a year and i never regret any second spent watching it
ONE OF THE BEST SCENES OF ALL TIME
PURE GOOSEBUMPS
I don’t think the scene would have been nearly as iconic without the music
As John Williams is to Star Wars, Howard Shore is to Lord of the Rings.
@@dreamlandnightmare yes
Literally one of the greatest scenes in film history.
There's been many a time when on a live performance of a classical concert listening and seeing the most exquisite performances from all the musicians I could barely hold my composure - this one is epicness and emotion on another whole level with all the audience along for it.
I also truly respect the amount of coordination and right timing you need across all people involved to bring this to reality - a feat of human creation and capacity.
I was there screaming like a rider of rohan
Damn. This scene always makes me teary eyed. Thanks for sharing!!
goose bumps all over! every time again!
"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 tire 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."
I get shivers just watching this clip. I can't imagine being in that hall listening live. Must be epic. Brilliant.
Chills, every single time
“Arise, arise, riders of Rohan!
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!”
I got the shivers just by watching this.
The greatest movie ever made.
I wish I was there! Every time I watch these movies alone and have to hold all my emotions in 😢 I wanna cheer with you all
chills. must have been utterly amazing.
WOW!! This would be a DREAM COME TRUE!! I need to attend one of these ❤
What an experience this must have been. The moment everyone starts yelling death is so beautiful.
The first chair violin is bringing home the bacon on this one.
Chills and tears every time.
Awesome!
When the horn blares and the Rohirrim crest the hill might just be one of the most cinematically awesome moments in movie history. At least for me.
Now *THAT* is a calvary charge for the ages!
I cried at this part, never had a movie affect me like that.
Same.
Make me tears for some minutes thanks for this masterpiece!
Saw it few weeks ago, and, I cried, God, that was WAY to much to handle.
This scene chokes me up every time. @3:25 Merry yelling "Death" just gets the tears of happiness going.
I've seen all 3 in theatres upon release, bought the VHS's when they came out, bought the DVD's when they came out, bought the Extended Boxset when that came out, bought the Extended 4K Boxset when that came out, watched the theatrical re-releases & caught them on TV. IDK how many times I've seen the trilogy, but it's easily over 500 times. I watch the Extended Trilogy at least 5 times a year, plus all the other places & formats, so I'm probably nearing 1,000.
BUT IT STILL COUNT AS ONE!! :D
But damn, what would I give to watch the extended edition on theatre though...
Its so epic, i cant stop crying❤
I think seeing something like that live once in my life would give me goosebumps
Самая лучшая массовая сцена, наверное за весь прошедший и будущий период кинематографа. Никакая битва бастардов и рядом не валялась. Вряд ли пересматривая битву бастардов или какую-либо другую массовую сцену вы ощущаете чувство причастности и вам тоже хочется кричать "На смерть"
"-В бой! В бой, всадники Теодена! Копья вздымайте, щиты крушите! День сечи, день славы, вперёд на встречу заре! В бой, в бой, в бой, последний бой этого мира! На смерть! На смерть! Смерть! Вперёд, эорлинги!"
Полностью с Вами согласен!
Как по мне, да и не только думаю, это величайший фильм в истории. В нём идеально всё, как просто кинематограф, так и соотношение фильм-книга.
Я был в нереальном просто шоке, когда будучи уже совершеннолетним прочитал книгу и понял, что фильм - это что-то невероятное 😊 Понял, что лучше экранизаций какой-либо либо книги я в принципе не видел 🤷♂️
