- Welcome to the second part of the last one of these videos. Here you will find the lines that are taken from the whole trilogy of The Lord of the Rings books. In the lower right corner, you will find the exact quote, the character who said it and in which book and chapter. I kept the lines that are exactly the same, and also the ones that are similar (with a few changes for the sake of grammar). Enjoy!

Denethor might be one of the most interesting and layered characters in the movies, and the fact that he appears so heavily in these videos is testament to that, and how much effort Tolkien put in to fleshing him out
I think book Denethor is more interesting because of the palantir, and how that feeds into his madness. Kind of strange the movies didn't include that because the audience was already familiar with what a palantir was.
Denethor in the movie is a pretty weak and supeficial character compared to the book. A stupid, insane.
@@beniaminosani2719 i may be mistaken but was it his fear of Mordor that he ordered the construction of Rammas Echor? Did he order the building of the outer walls after he used the palantir??
…Also they just talk a lot…
The rammas echor was built long before denethors time but it fell into dissrepair, denethor ordered the reconstruction of it.
That sneaking line from Gollum really shows Tolkien’s subtle sense of humour
Tolkien's even more subtle than you think. When you really understand the scene, you don't laugh: you weep big heavy tears.
my favorite line of the books
I like how the line "This fellow isn't dead" still works in the context of this video.
I like how in the middle of Denethors rambling we get “This fellow ain’t dead.”
It's strange how many of Denethor's lines remain unchanged, yet how different his character seems in the movie. He went from a pitiable character who had reached his wit's end to an asshole you were hoping died.
Yes. Exactly. He is not even trying. The early fall of the river change many things, Faramir mission became pure nonsense.
More pitiable in the books, but also more competent until Faramir's plight became clear. Furthermore, the decision to hold the outer defences wasn't so obviously stupid as in the movies. Still, even in the books, Denethor was an asshole.
@@Canuovea He was a wreck, the problem with Jackson’s interpretation is that Denethor’s madness came much too soon as opposed to a final straw as in the book.
Thanks for doing this, I’m surprised of how much of his language was actually used and it’s probably why it’s so good and feels so true in spirit to the books.
The decision to have Faramir riding out lined up with Tolkien’s song is one of the greatest screenwriting decisions I’ve ever witness. Fits so perfectly!
So that was a Jackson thing and not a Tolkien thing? Great decision by Jackson then!
Yeah, the song that Pippin sings is actually sung by all 4 hobbits while they’re still in the Shire at the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring. At least I’m pretty sure...
@@mikespearwood3914 The song and the circumstances are by Tolkien, but this juxtaposition is Jackson's work.
In the books it was that little argument about sneaking that broke Smeagol, for it came at the exact wrong time.
I think it’s interesting how much they cut from the original books but reincorporated into later movies. Like the Warg attack with Aragorn and the Hobbits was placed later with Rohan. And the Ring Wraith dragon attack was moved to Two Towers with Faramir, Frodo, Gollum, and Sam. Dialogue from Tom Bombadill was given to Treebeard, some songs were readjusted to fit different scenes but they weren’t entirely unused.
I might be missing some, can anyone else think of some stuff that was reused in later parts of the story? Special edition included.
Pippin: We have no songs for evil times.
Also Pippin: To shadow all shall fade, all shall fade.
I was wondering that too, watching the movies. But the book version of the song is actually wholesome
This video is amazing, I love how Tolkien wrote Pippins song. Beautiful words and lyrics
Denethor was always disappointed in Faramir because he couldn't read maps.
I get that reference
"I do not fear death"
In the book when Legolas and Gimli agree to join Aragorn into the Paths of the Dead, Legolas says "I too will come, for I do not fear the dead".
"You shall suffer me!"
…Aaaand back to chapter 4…
…AAAAAAaand back to chapter 1……
Tolkien is to English what the sun is to the solar system
“Gone to the mattle”?
Who is beregond?
a soldier in gondor, from the tower guard if i remember correctly, he instructs Pippin in the duties of a tower guard. The father of Bergil the boy that brings Aragorn the Athelas when he is healing Merry and Éowyn in the houses of healing
@@HerrderRingeFan1 I loved that subplot. If they ever remake LOTR as a TV show in like 50 years or something (not the Amazon show but an actual re-adapation of Tolkien's novel), it is something that could easily be an episode or a subplot. Much like Tom Bombadil and the Scouring of the Shire, the pacing doesn't work for a movie but which would have room to breathe in a TV version.
