I love Sam’s eulogy. It’s from the heart, even if it doesn’t perfectly rhyme. Sam is one of my favorite characters. He’s just so pure-hearted and kind.
I love Samwise but he had flaws of his own. In the books, it was Sam's lack of compassion for Smeagol that turned him back into Gollum. Tolkien said that Smeagol was changed by Frodo's kindness, it was Sam's meanness, mistrust, and harsh scorn that prevented Smeagol from repentance and redemption.
@@whistlingstarlight2942 Or climb a mountain to hear Frodo telling you to go back and when you go down, you climb it again to get revenge and save Frodo from Shelob.
@@angieliang8475 In the books, the dialect Sindarin Lórien elves speak is so different than western Sindarin that Frodo mistakenly thought they are speaking another language entirely. But the lament in the movies is sung in both Quenya and Sindarin. Legolas understands both. Frodo probably doesn't.
"I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still to near." The subtle pause from Legolas in between sentences, the way he delivers the words. Elves are truly mystic, almost angelic beings. The way LoTR portrays this is so incredibly well done. I've watched one episode of rings of power and immediately felt the need to watch all these scenes from LoTR again, just to brainwash myself what middle-earth would actually be like instead of what I saw in rings of power.... kudos to Peter Jackson and all the actors in lotr for delivering an incredible work of art that after so many years is still one of the best films ever made, and will for ever be the best book adaption of all times.
This scene had everything. Heartfelt with the Legolas reaction towards the lament for Gandalf Humour with Aragorn hitting Gimli for snoring. And heartfelt humour with Sam's hilarious yet deep and sincere attempt at poetry to honour Gandalf's memory.
I heard it said one time that Legolas' reaction may have been on par with Frodo's at seeing Gandalf perish - Frodo, obviously, was closest to Gandalf, but Legolas understood his true nature and power and, as an elf, was seriously unacquainted with death itself. Something almost like seeing Christ on the cross perish - "wait, this... is not possible, is it? Death shouldn't even be here." That's why I imagine his shock ran so deep. In the Khazad-dum scene, you can see the blank expression on his face, even. Wonderful acting and storytelling. Dang, still hasn't been beat in 20 years. A miracle of a film trilogy.
@@LifeOutward Honestly, I sometimes wonder if Tolkien and Peter Jackson were divinely inspired to tell a story that would bring people closer to God without it being too obvious.
Lament of Gandalf sung in this scene is example of some great writing delivered by movie makers: Olorin, who once was... Send by the Lords of the West To guard the lands of the East Wisest of all Maiar What drove you to leave That which you loved? Mithrandir, Mithrandir O Pilgrim Grey No more will you wander the green fields of this earth Your journey has ended in darkness.

@G E T R E K T 905 You're completely missing the point here. Why I said 'we can hear it', I was ridiculing the fact he was citing this sentence without any added value whatsoever. I'm not telling him I can hear what Legolas is hearing lol
Beautiful dichotomy. To the Elves, he was always The White, regardless of whether he wore it. Sent for a great and mighty and overarching purpose. For The Hobbits, he was Gandalf The Grey: friend, firework maker, teller of stories, jokes, and more of a mortal presence (if that makes any sense).
It absolutely does..It's what I love about Sam's attempt to honor his memory. He was so much more than the grand purpose his makers had set out for him.
And they all get wasted off of that potent Elvish wine... Breaking into Lady Galadriel's wine store and she gets right pissed the next morning when she finds out.
Every time I rewatch this it is more amazing... Sam is truly a remarkable hobbit. And yes, Sam, it does do them justice... Better even, perhaps, in a different way, than that beautiful Elven song... :') Gandalf, I think, would ask for no greater remembrance than this... Let me try to explain... In the middle of this beautiful Elven lament, Sam... stands up and offers his own tribute to Gandalf... in simple language, that he knows... Not trying to be more than he is, make his words fancy and particularly beautiful... but speaking from his heart... "There ought to be a verse about them." and then he stands up and makes one. No, that doesn't do it justice... It's hard to explain.

Gimli was right, "So much for the fabled hospitality of the Elves." Making them sleep in tents on the ground instead in quarters up in the tree-buildings.
Actually, the hobbits were very excited about this. In the book, it says hobbits enjoy sleeping on the ground. Even when they have a second story, they never sleep in them. I can imagine that dwarfs would feel the same.
Knowing the Elves, and Legolas in particular, and Orlando Bloom's exeptional portrayal, you'd see his mouth curl just a moment, before his eyes returned to sorrow.
I hope there's a verse about his fight with the Balrog. ahem... He stood upon the Khazad bridge, and said, "You shall not pass!" And when the Balrog said "Fuck that!", Mithrandir kicked his ass. ...Oh, that doesn't do it justice.
I love the moment when Aragorn hit Gimli to stop his snoring. I had completely forgotten about that. 😃 I'm surprised that Gimli's reaction wasn't bigger and louder.

Every time I watch LOTR it feels so refreshing and new.... then I have to remind myself it is 20 years old!!! good lord what has happened to modern movies.
I think Gandalf would be more honoured by this simple song by a Hobbit praising his Fireworks that he used to entertain and bring joy to the Shirefolk .That is what made him happy .
Gandalf was honoured by the greatest and also the smallest creatures in Midlle-Earth. He would enjoy that simple but truly words of a simple hobbit of the shire.
Gandalf was happy, and happy with many things. He loved hobbits, elves, men and dwarves, more than i can say. 'As for me i pity even [the servants of the enemy].' Something Sam echoed when he saw the fallen Haradrim.
The Elven signing here would’ve been one of the last connections in Middle Earth to the earlier ages, harkening all the way back to the creation of Arda with the singing of the Ainur. Obviously it’s not the same, but one the the themes of LOTR and the tale of the third age is the separation of the world form the magic of creation, of which the elves were part of. That’s why they’re beginning to leave middle earth, it is turning to the time of Men. So hearing this Lament for Gandalf would be an extremely spiritual experience, of which mostly only Legolas and Aragorn could truly appreciate. Like a connection to a time long past
I love the way Sam tries but he gives up almost immediately it’s just so real you know? I mean.. damn sean astin.. and basically all of the cast- there’s no such movie as this
Movies with real adventures are very few nowadays. I think what made the TLOR trilogy a movies masterpiece is not only the story itself and other matters, but the very balanced way of telling an adventure.
Sam's little poem is actually originally added by him to Frodo's Lament , a far more grief stricken section: When evening in the Shire was grey his footsteps on the Hill were heard; before the dawn he went away on journey long without a word. From Wilderland to Western shore, from northern waste to southern hill, through dragonlair and hidden door and darkling woods he walked at will. With Dwarf and Hobbit, Elves and Men, with mortal and immortal folk, with bird on bough and beast in den, in their own secret tongues he spoke. A deadly sword, a healing hand, a back that bent beneath its load; a trumpet-voice, a burning brand, a weary pilgrim on the road. A lord of wisdom throned he sat, swift in anger, quick to laugh; an old man in a battered hat who leaned upon a thorny staff. He stood upon the bridge *alone* and Fire and Shadow both defied; his staff was broken on the stone, in Khaza-Dùm his wisdom died.
they really should have kept this in, i loved how aragorn looked at gimli and smacked him for snoring and how sam just goes "ah that doesnt do them justice" i LOVE it
Agree! They were a little missed in the following two parts, even though they appeared and in truth didn´t have all that much to do with the main story after FOTR.
Read The Silmarillion. Tolkien's most genius concepts are in there. His son edited his father's notes and while his editing damaged his father's works in many areas, it's still worth reading even if it feels incomplete. The Silmarillion is about many things including Elves of First Age. They were such complex characters.
Howard Shore perfectly captured the otherworldly beauty of elven music. The voices are hypnotizing and add so much richness to the elves. I like to think that Tolkien would have enjoyed hearing these songs recreated so beautifully.
I love how the rest of the Fellowship doesn’t insult Sam’s attempt at adding to the lament for Gandalf. His little rhyme isn’t perfect, but it’s from the heart and they know it. And they don’t call him stupid or pathetic for it. Teasing is certainly prominent in friendships, but real friends know when someone is really trying and don’t bring them down for it.
You know what’s funny this feels more like a 4th film because we got to know Gandalf through the hobbit in a smaller scale it just seems like a bigger sacrifice
Leave the poetry to Bilbo! I don't know why but I really wanted to see if this scene in the original movie... Is a reason why they have extended editions
Aragon slapping Gimli should have been the reason for the 4th great Dwarven war. Could be something off canon to make a movie about. Would be better than the Rings of Power.
Aragron said in the book: "The grief of his loss leaves me barely able to speak a word. I could never bear to sing about him." At my mother-in-law's funeral I tried to recite a poem I had written for her. I didn't make it.
Aragorn slapping Gimli to stop him from snoring is hilarious!
I missed that somehow. I hope someone shows a clip of it. Oh I just backed this up and saw it. 😂

Sam's little poem is actually originally added by him to Frodo's Lament , a far more grief stricken section:
When evening in the Shire was grey
his footsteps on the Hill were heard;
before the dawn he went away
on journey long without a word.
From Wilderland to Western shore,
from northern waste to southern hill,
through dragonlair and hidden door
and darkling woods he walked at will.
With Dwarf and Hobbit, Elves and Men,
with mortal and immortal folk,
with bird on bough and beast in den,
in their own secret tongues he spoke.
A deadly sword, a healing hand,
a back that bent beneath its load;
a trumpet-voice, a burning brand,
a weary pilgrim on the road.
A lord of wisdom throned he sat,
swift in anger, quick to laugh;
an old man in a battered hat
who leaned upon a thorny staff.
He stood upon the bridge *alone*
and Fire and Shadow both defied;
his staff was broken on the stone,
in Khaza-Dùm his wisdom died.

i wonder how Galadriel couldn't see /predict future that Gandalf actually didnt die , and yet elves did lament ?
lmaooooo Gimli !!
This music is beautiful ❤
it's not music , it's literally written there it's lament
0:13, Lament for Gandalf
Galadriel is so powerfull because she is an elf that witness the devinw light of the 2 trees.
And she also posses an elven ring.
I don't stop his laughing lokking gimli sleep rest and aragorn puukkk to gimli..😅😅😅
You know what’s funny this feels more like a 4th film because we got to know Gandalf through the hobbit in a smaller scale it just seems like a bigger sacrifice
This soundtrack would probably be on god's ipod
Leave the poetry to Bilbo! I don't know why but I really wanted to see if this scene in the original movie... Is a reason why they have extended editions
I was sitting here listening, all ready to be sad, here Sam starts talking lmao. Made me laugh. Dammit Sam I'm trying to be emotional here lol.
Orlando Bloom’s voice in this is 🎶 💛
My boi Sam out here spittin’ bars
0:56 did he just hit Gimli ?? 😂
Gimli snoring is just hilarious! :D
Beautiful song with crystal voice of Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins)
I always love some Elvish quiet chant for unity and strength
0:55 r.i.p gimli
thank you
0:57 lmfao bruh😂😂
This part almost made me cry but when Aragorn woke Gimili up I started to laugh.
Aragon slapping Gimli should have been the reason for the 4th great Dwarven war. Could be something off canon to make a movie about. Would be better than the Rings of Power.
beautiful movie
Aragron said in the book: "The grief of his loss leaves me barely able to speak a word. I could never bear to sing about him." At my mother-in-law's funeral I tried to recite a poem I had written for her. I didn't make it.
reading that part the book again the second time. Too good!
