    I love how the magic that Gandalf uses is actually very simple but effective and they didn't make gandalf throw lasers and firebals and CGI shit but instead, a pure light is all you need to expel Nazguls and their beasts.

    I’m going to be extremely honest here. For me this is, by far, my favorite scene in the entire movie trilogy. There’s something about the shot of Gandalf casting the light and the way he turns it off and goes back with the group and the shot of the castle at the end with the music. It’s just breathtaking to me.

I feel Gandalf represented Mercy, as he was able to cast a light on the darkness to fend it away to protect those who were retreating. Powerful indeed!

Whoever came up with the screenplay for this scene truly understood the essence of the books. Dark clouds vs white clouds, dark creatures vs Gandalf the white, demonic screeching nazguls vs the angelic vocals when Gandalf arrives.

    For non-book readers, the most powerful entities in Middle Earth at the time the movie is set are Sauron, Gandalf, and the Balrog [also Tom Bombadil, but he wouldn't fight, and did not make it into the film]. Other entities like the Witch King [head Nazgul], and Galadriel were several tiers lower.

      I believe Galadriel and Gandalf are on about the same level. Atleast Galadriel was stronger than Gandalf the Grey.
      Although Gandalf is a maiar, his powers are limited because he is confined to his human form as an old man. Therefore although Gandalf is innately very powerful, he cannot harness his whole power.
      However Galadriel has no such limiters. She is one of the oldest elves in existence, saw the light of the Two Trees, lived in Valinor, learnt from Melian the Maia and wielder of Nenya.

    From what I understand, as odd as it sounds, that beam of light was an example of Gandalf displaying his full power. Apparently, not even Saruman was capable of producing a beam that could halt even one Nazgul, let alone, several. Gandalf did it with NO effort. It's meant to show that Eru Iluvatar not only allowed Gandalf to return, but, also granted him power closer to his true Maiar form. Something he denied every other wizard. There was to be no question about which wizard is the most powerful.

    One of the greatest scenes in movie history!
    It fills my heart with hope, and yet makes me cry, perhaps with gratitude. To me, the Nazgul signify the dangers and chaos that haunt life, against which we, represented by the soldiers, are powerless at times. Yet, there is something, something invisible and unseen, and yet greater than us, that lends us hope and the strength to fight off even the most frightening perils, the light of God, of the goodwill that dwells deep in us all, call it whatever you may, represented by Gandalf's spell of light here.
    Some might say, it is the light of God... When the hour of direst need arises, the need of the hour reveals itself.
    I am stil half-crying BTW, lol.

    The part of this is that whole strength of sauron and his army is the fear they cause and the way this is filmed you can feel the despair and fear but then Gandalf comes in to show the light and keep the darkness back while the music plays. It makes me tear up man cuz it’s just with such evil terrible shit going on Gandalf comes in and is like hey this isn’t over we can still do this and win. Always makes me think that Tolkien wrote this story about war and as dark and evil as things get just seeing the light beat the shadow always makes me feel good.
