OMG I literally died....
LMFAO good one

This is the best "do not fuck this up" scene in movie history
Not so many meetings with fathers-in-law go quite this well.
This is when he becomes King though he may not know it
The king of Elves and the king of Men.
Alucard BloodyVampire yeah with a hint of “you wanna marry my daughter?? Be a man, be the King and kill the Dark Lord or shove the sword up your ass.”
Daniel Cannata I don’t think Elrond was king.
"Put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be." I love that line.
KILL THE BOY
Same here!!!. I love it ❤. It's such a powerful line.
The line put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be is my favourite part as well?💖💖🥳🥳💯💯

best comment ever
imagine risking your life fighting for rohan then the king tells you to wake up the homeless ranger guy then he points a blade at you and youre just trying to help
But he got to brag about it later, assuming he survived Pellenor...ah, fuck it, nobody back in Rohan would believe him. Mumakil, Witch Kings, Gates of Mordor....
Lol! I would NOT want to be that guard!
This comment is underrated!
“Put aside the Ranger. Become who you were born to be.” God I love the dialogue in these movies.

I feel so bad for Elrond. First he lost his parents, then his adoptive uncle and possibly his adoptive father, then he lost his twin brother, then his wife (though I will add that she's still alive, she just can't return to Middle Earth), and now he's losing his daughter. Someone please give this guy a hug, he really needs one.
He’s still got his sons, the Twin brothers who joined Aragorn on any hunt he made against the orcs as vengeance for their mother.
@@jackdaone6469 Though since they stayed behind in Middle Earth, it's possible they chose the fate of Men as well.
Don’t forget Aragorn is his adoptive son, at this point he might be losing him too.
He was so good at healing others but needed to heal himself
His choice to belong to the Eldar and not the Edain entails the suffers of an immortal life. He had the choice and took it, through him, the lines of the Halfelves were reconnected
This scene means so much more once you know that Aragorn was raised by Elrond as a child.
+Dina Issakova And that the very condition Elrond establishes for Arwen and Aragorn's relationship is that he must become King of both Gondor and Arnor first...
He doesn't like the idea from the very beginning, and now that Arwen's dying... It's a heartbreaking scene
Dina Issakova what I like about this scene is watching it when your older it's like when your parents tell u it's time to stand on your own two feet so it's like a symbolic father and son moment of now your man so go take responsibility make your mark on the world, I love those scenes that just make u tear little bit
Full Comic Alchemist Urgh same although my parents never gave me a really cool sword when I started college XD
Dina Issakova Wish we had some prequel scenes of his childhood in Rivendell.
1misanthropist Uh, no. The books never said that. Trust me, I've read the books over 10 times.
You know it's a big deal when the King walks out of his own tent to give them some privacy
@James Kessler Ever since I saw the movie in theaters I've wondered that very thing! What was the conversation that had King Theoden looking the way he did and taking his leave? I think Elrond told him who Aragorn really was, the High King of Gondor.
theoden "so aragorn comes in, i leave and you sit there menacingly with your hood covering your face right?"
Elrond "Yup"
Theoden already knew who Aragorn is.
It’s a conversation between the King of Men and the King of the Elves. Theoden just knew his place
@@mgreco712 Theoden is also a king - though he is a "Middle Men" defined by Númenóreans, "High Men"
"Sauron will not have forgotten the sword of Elendil" chills
His respect for his ancestors is incredible. Aragorn is a real king...
He rapidly draws the sword, in the one foot of space between him and Elrond, and neither of them flinches. Pretty badass.
And what a long pointy sword!
@marjoriecoey3418 Eh, it actually has quite realistic proportions. This is fairly normal.
The swords you usually see in Hollywood are the unrealistic ones. Often they look like a nerf gun does compared to a real gun.
@@TheShowdown16nah aargon is also slightly super human.
Its a Twohander. Hence the length.@@TheShowdown16
@@user-rx3uq9fs2mtechnically thats a hand-and-a-half sword aka bastard sword. But to get my original point across look, for example, at the swords in netflixes the witcher.
In short, Elrond's speech to Aragorn is telling him, "You know, I was fine with packing up and leaving- But my daughter is mixed into this now because she loves you, so don't you dare fuck up. Take this sword and give those orcs what for. Do it for daddy's little princess. *single emotion filled elven tear*"
+Wang Yao LOL! Nice
Wang Yao imagining this in Elronds voice LOL
"Do it for daddy"
I love this comment!! That just what I was thinking!
elrond look like agent smith from the matrix
This is one of the few movies that does not say "follow your dreams" but "be who you were born to be"
Well it makes it easier when you were literally born to become king of the whole darn place.
So... a story of the chosen one?? Yeah, very few movies like that .... right.
Not really. Almost 90% of the Fantasy genre for books, TV shows, and movies follow the "born to be" trope, including Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. Movies like Army of Darkness could be used as an example of genre counter-point though.
I think it's more of a "there are several paths, which one will you take?"
and they're all copying this. Tolkien is the founding father of fantasy. fight me if you disagree xD
Other films to the LotR trilogy: “We will show you how great we are.”
The LotR trilogy: “You ride to war but not to victory.”
I agree. the Star wars saga for example, 1-6 made history, 7-9 is a failure and the only person who won in that trilogy was John Williams music score.
@@paulsteinhauser434 the only good thing about the prequels is the music. But the music in star wars still doesnt compare to LOTRs music
I honestly think there’s other movies that are just as awesome as LotR. However, in the case of the fantasy genre, I’d LOVE to see movies that are just as amazing as LotR.

Viggo Mortenson wanted all the weapon props he used to weigh as much as real swords. That wasn't acting.
@@teamvlcn6820 Its not referring to the physical weight, but the weight of responsibility of kingship and his family line.
@@YorgarAn easy way to illustrate that is with the physical weight of it though. 😊
They pulled a similar trick with the ring. Illustrating the great burden of it when Bilbo takes it off it falls straight to the ground with almost no bounce at all, giving it the appearance of something very heavy and burdensome.

As much as I love Star Wars, I gotta admit that The Lord of the Rings trilogy are the greatest movies ever made.

Don't forget the books. I agree star wars just doesn't have as powerful a story
No one is at the level of lotr trilogy
It’s so unbelievable to me that Jackson was able to not only faithfully adapt perhaps the greatest, most daunting fantasy story every written, but improve upon parts of it with scenes like this. For those who haven’t read the books, Aragorn already has the reforged Narcil prior to meeting the Hobbits in Dale. This entire sequence was added from scratch, and yet it feels so integral and monumental.
It always seemed kinda dumb to me that he would wander around wearing a broken sword. The movie version makes more sense.
Don't know, I like Aragorn's character in the books better exactly because of this difference. In the books he has accepted his fate as a future king by the time the journey starts - he leaves Imladris already with reforged Narsil. He knows it is his destiny and he is ready for it, even though it's not what he desires. In the movies for some reason it takes Arwen almost dead for him to accept his fate. Almost like he accepts it only because he wants so save her - which is romantic, but ruins the whole "Aragorn is the True King" plot. I like it better when Aragorn knows his fate and carries it with responsibility and wisdom, if not some pride, than when he takes it almost unwillingly and being forced. Maybe the movie version is more human, but the book version makes more sense in the legendarium.
I've also heard that Faramir's character was changed in the movies sort of in a bad way (he falls under the temptation of the Ring, which never happened in the books, and he just doesn't treat Frodo and Sam really well) because of the fact that the writers thought people wouldn't accept Aragorn as the King if Faramir were too nice (because, you know, Aragorn as the King is kind of a rival to Faramir who is the Steward of Gondor). And you know - with Aragorn like he is in the movies, it makes sense! In the books you never doubt Aragorn is *the King*. In the movies... Well, I have already written about that. I don't say I don't like the movie version at all, it is interesting and adds some tension and is more cinematographic (duh), but the book version is just more logical in Tolkien's world (again, duh - Tolkien wrote it, so, obviously). The True King is not supposed to meet his destiny just because there was no other choice to save his love, he should meet it with pride.
He never went near Dale in the books and he met the hobbits in Bree. And he was carrying the broken shards of the sword. Try reading the books yourself
Dale?
The blade is broken when Aragorn meets the hobbits in Bree. Have you even read the source material??
4:24 says in elvish ''I give hope to men(Elrond), I keep none for myself(Aragorn)'' this are the last words that Aragorn's mother said to him before she died. The fact that detail was included is awesome.
jackson is a genius
The way the music swells when Aragorn draws the sword... absolute perfection.
Howard Shore won three Oscars for LOTR, two of them for "Return of the King."
this is the shit
I came here for this kind of comment this is exactly what I think and feel when I think of this moment.
You can hear the glory of Númenor in the Elder Days
Fucking epic.
I love Theoden's face as he walks out. He's just like "Fuck man"
+Baxter Rhodes Lord Elrond somehow refuses to talk to him, regardless he is a king.
+Derrick Liu I always imagined Elrond told Theoden that Aragorn had to take the Dimhold road for them to have a chance in the upcoming battle. Later when asked why Aragorn leaves Theoden states "He leave because he must".
+Hjalmar Lind I'd rather say they did not talk much at all. Theoden was 71, too young and immature to understand Lord Elrond wants to say.
+Derrick Liu If Elrond was such a douchebag to men he wouldn't have invited Boromir and other men to his council
+ChaosCollection Gondor was part of the original alliance, he had to. It is most likely first time he met Boromir anyway.
I love that Aragorn when he accepts the sword (and puts on an air of kindliness) must be the closest thing Elrond could get to seeing his brother Elros again in all his splendor as the first king of Numenor.
There are so many words
And then again when Aragorn is crowned king
A masterpiece of Dwarven artifice, reforged by the hands of Elven masters, to be the destined blade of the High King of Gondor and Arnor, ancient realms of Men.
Andúril is the hopes of the Free Peoples forged into a single, keen form.
That is a completely beautiful concept.
Well... shit. I never even thought of that.
One does not simply make this much sense
Damn. That's beautiful.
I never knew Narsil was forged by dwarves until recently. I thought Elendil brought it with him from Numenor when he sailed to middle earth.
Fun Fact: In every movie like this one, there is always what is called the "jewel sword". The jewel sword is the one REAL sword on set. Normally actors don't use it, it's more a mascot. Viggo insisted on using the jewel sword.
+Joey Fredrickson Didn't know this detail, but it sure sounds like Viggo.
+Joey Fredrickson I hear the man went fishing between shoots, now that's a man I would love to have a beer with.
+Joey Fredrickson well the sword he uses in LOTR 1,2 is also real as he almost got arrested for walking around with it, as he was asked to walk with it to sort of be in character, he dined with the sword and the police came in, but left as they found out he was from the LOTR set.
+Joey Fredrickson
Thank goodness he didn't cut himself or slice Elrond's head off lol
+Joey Fredrickson And later both Viggo and Bernard Hill complain, the 'jewel sword' is heavy as...
Aragorn casually sleeping with a knife under his pillow ready to stab unsuspecting guards.
ok this is the best
Aragon is a ranger. He spent many years of his life wandering the wild alone. It's probably still a habit from those days
They used to be adventurers like us, but them they took Aragorn's knife to the knee.
@TheLatiosnlatias02 I was TRYING to be creative, damnit!!!
Wouldn't it be immensely funny if he accidentically stabbed Elrond as he drew out Anduril from the sheath? :D
I love how Elrond goes through almost pitying Aragorn in terms of how utterly out matched he is, which he knows but Aragorn doesn't, to whole-heartedly daring him to summon the full might that's actually available to him in the span of minutes.
"Prove you're worthy of my daughter. Save her, save them all."
It really is Aragorn who really restores Elrond's faith in the race of men. Hugo Weaving and Viggo Mortensen perform these roles to the best they could ever be!
From his perspective, makes a lot of sense - even the greatest of men, those who could surpass the elves, fell in Númenor. Their blood was now diluted, barely a shadow of their glorious past. Yet, right in front of him, he sees a human king who shines as bright as during the days of old.
Considering that Elrond's brother, Elros, was the first King of Númenor, he would remember the "days of old" a lot differently.
That movie is 20 years old
Literally no one else would fit these roles. Hugo and Viggo were perfect!
@@Gabu_ Well, he did raise Aragorn, so he knows who stands before him.
Over a decade later and this scene is just as epic as the first time I watched it. Hell, Lord of the Rings never stops being epic!
just watched RoTK again last night and it still leaves me in awe. these movies were truly something else!
timeless movies!
peachlily22 some of the best movies in history and I don’t think anybody can argue that.
ask Randall
To be fair every scene is epic.
Amazing trilogy.
About their last exchange in Quenya (High elven) : Aragorn was raised in Rivendell, as all Chieftains of the Dunedain, the line of the kings of Arthedain and the last descendants of Isildur, were, ever since the end of the North Kingdom of Arnor. His given name was Estel, which means "hope" in Quenya. It was said that his mother, Gilraen, knew some of his destiny, as she had the gift of foresight. When Elrond revealed his true name and lineage to him, Aragorn was to set out into the world to fight Sauron's evil for many decades. When he came to bid farewell to his mother, her last words to him were the same words they spoke now :
Onen i-estel Edain. U-chebin estel anim.
"I give hope (Estel, her son) to men. I keep none for myself."
This is one comment that is untouchable. Respect for your knowledge.
Well.. you read the silmarillion
This is Sindarin, not Quenya, but you're right about everything else.
NERD!!!
You have “Colbert” levels of Tolkien knowledge apparently.
Almost 20 years later, and this literal king of a trilogy has remained the uncontested pinnacle of cinema. We need a 20th anniversary edition of this.
Yes. It’s been a long time coming.
Peter Jackson confirmed that he is working on a new extended cut for the 25th anniversary.
You got your wish. They're showing it again in theaters.
I just fear that if they did that they'd remove, add, or change things that aren't true to Tolkien's vision, or at the very least true to what these movies have done. Too many times have remastered versions of movies modified the original matter too much to where it becomes relatively damaging.
@@joevaghn457Exactly. You know that they would change the appearances of the characters or the story to make it more “inclusive”. There is nothing I want more in life than a remake of this but the characters cannot be replaced. The perfect casting is by far the best part of the trilogy.
I love how Elrond just stares at Aragorn when he unsheathes Anduril.
He’s just like: “Yeah man, that’s a sick ass blade.”
"Holy shit. Look at these stats. +5 to hit and damage, Holy Avenger?"
Just imagine if they went with Nicholas Cage like originally planned, holy shit that would have been a disaster.
Wat
Gray Fullbuster Maybe not a disaster but it definitely would not be the same. Cage is best when he's allowed to be a goofball, he can't pull off anything really regal. Which is probably why he's never been picked to play Superman either.
Darth Venar Nicholas Cage was the first choice for Aragorn.
Darth Venar Sean Connery was the first choice for Gandalf, too.
Gray Fullbuster Oh God. He's an absolutely terrible actor in my opinion
Put aside the Ranger, become who you were born to be....dual class as a Paladin ;-)

Mr. Anderson...lol
Lmao
Yo, can we take a moment to appreciate King Theoden's tent. That joint is swagged out. #GoingToWarInStyle
Ya nice crib for a king on the road!
Lmao I thought so
None but Hugo Weaving could have done the role of Elrond such perfect justice. He conveyed the majesty, elegance, and oft subtle but incredible power the Lord of Rivendell commanded magnificently. With poignant skill, he brought one of the greatest characters of the all Tolkien’s works to life, and to memorable effect.
King Theoden to Elrond before Aragon enters that tent: "What's that you have there under your robe?" Elrond: "A gift for Aragon." And thus King Theoden tried to get out of there as quickly as he could when Aragon walks in.
lol xD
Is that a sword between your legs or are you just happy to see me?
that could be interpreted in either sexual ways, or in murderous way
Willem Verheij A long and strong, powerful gift.
I personally think Jackson did an amazing job moving Aragorn's obtaining Anduril from the Fellowship of the Ring to Return of the King.
+Andrew Wang Yes, he did... but why was it necessary?
caderly123 because Anduril (or Narsil, rather, which was reforged into Anduril) was an heirloom from the old kings of Gondor. Aragorn's doubt wasn't really a big thing in the first movie (or book); it's only as he approaches his rightful city that it starts surfacing.
In the book Anduril is treated like just another random powerup for Aragorn "oh hey, check out this wicked awesome sword, go kill some orcs". We understand it's symbolic, the king going back to his kingdom should have the king's sword, but I feel it has more impact here in the third movie, at the peak of Aragorn's doubt.
+Andrew Wang well especially in the 1st movie, Aragorn mentions a lot of doubt about his fellow "men of Gondor", it's the bromance with Boromir that warms him up
You may be right about the sword, the king of Gondor theme obviously connects much more with the last movie. And it was always obvious that the sword is highly symbolic. In the first movie it is a symbol of the near-defeat of the high kings of men, "no more than a broken heirloom" - as the Anduril, it's a symbol of hope and a sign that the old prophecy (?) is now becoming true since the sword has been reforged. Also in this scene the father-in-law giving Aragorn the sword can be seen as a little kick in the ass, but also as a very groundbreaking moment for Aragorn as he is most probably thinking, "you actually did reforge the sword, and for ME?" - the movie Elrond seems like the foster father who never saw Aragorn live up to his expectations, and never gave him serious encouragament (also we find an analogue to the story of Beren - Luthien - Thingol, if you know that story). It is only through Arwen's insistence and out of desperation that Elrond finally does the move (of reforging) and recognizes that there is more to this ranger than what he usually gives credit for. Then again, at this point Aragorn has survived and led the party through Moria, and lead men to victory at Helm's Deep against overwhelming odds.
Idk I liked how he fought with the shards of narsil until it got reforged.
If this was written by D&D
"Become who you were born to be"
"I dun wannet I neva have"
Hah
i c what you did there.
Nah.... The scene would cut as soon as Lord Elrond showed his face.
but that's what Aragorn says in the movies: "I do not want that power. I have never wanted it." Aragorn in the books knew since he became a man that he was the only one who could unite the kingdoms of Men against Mordor. It was a destiny he had been preparing a lifetime for, fighting the enemy in the service of Gondor and Rohan. Narsil was reforged and given to him when he left for the quest with the Fellowship, instead of Elrond randomly appearing and presenting it to him at the last moment.
@@vaahtobileet Exactly. The movies are excellent entertainment but many liberties were taken to make them flow on screen. One should read the books first, before seeing the movies. Form one's own mental picture of what things looked like and then compare that with Peter Jackson's realization. There's some excellent casting in these films, Ian McKellen as Gandalf in particular, and John Rnys-Davies as Gimli.
This is the perfect trilogy. It is just insane how good these movies are. There are no words!!
4:08 Elrond looks like he's about to explode from Hype.
@G E T R E K T 905 😆
You can't really blame him. We all were.
@@duckpwnd Lol Yeah
He's channeling thousands of years of hype waiting for the person that would end Sauron.
@@BREAKocean Couldn't agree more
My favorite lines are the very last two... "I give hope to Men." "I keep none for myself."
Those words were said by Gilraen, Aragorns mother, before passing away
ESTEL
What was the elfish line Elrond sad before these lines?
@James Kessler Add the double-meaning and know that when Elrond's father, Earendil, first appeared in the sky as a star with the Silmaril, the elves named the new star Gil-Estel, "Star of Hope".
"They will answer to the king of Gondor!!" That line gives me goosebumps every time.
I recently watched Lord of the Rings for the very first time, and this is probably one of the most badass and emotional fictional scenes I’ve ever witnessed. Watched this with an incredible sound system and that score by Howard Shore gave me goosebumps leading up to the moment when Aragorn pulls the sword out. This scene was just so epic.
"They will answer to the King of Gondor!!!
Anduril, Flame of the West.... Forged from the shards of Narsil..."
*Literally cries eyes out*
This music, this movie. This trilogy.
That music, the fanfare for Anduril.
Goosebumps every time!
Straight up chills and verge of tears every fricking time
Five Neumann M-150 picked up that music from the orchestra and the wav files burned this scene into our brains. The horn players can now sleep easier.
Such a moment for the return of Anduril!!!
You can feel Elrond's desperation here.
He's really hoping that Aragorn would take the sword as a sign that he will take the fight to Sauron and become King of Gondor.
Elrond is hoping for the best for his daughter. This wasn't just about Middle Earth -- this was personal for him too.
It’s important to remember that in the book Elendil and Gil Galad actually straight up defeated Sauron while he wore the ring. It literally says they wrestled and overthrew him but died in the process. Isildur cut the ring off an already defeated Sauron it wasn’t a last second throw of the dice like in the movie. So the sword of Elendil was legit a sword that beat a ring bearing Sauron at the height of his power. And Aragorn was said to be more like Elendil than any other descendent of Elendil. So Sauron def had reason to be scared.
The best part of this scene is if you know that Elrond raised Aragorn, and that the name he gave him to hide his identity as a child was "Estel", which means hope. So when he says he gives hope to men there's the triple meaning of wishing luck to men in the war against Sauron, the fact that the sword will inspire hope, and he's essentially giving his youngest son over to humanity.
And those were Aragorns mother's last words to Aragorn.
@@curly6722true. That too
And now I must watch LotR again.
Austin Franks we watch it every year. Until we die, apparently.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
renkar820
Yeah, that poem was made by Bilbo Baggins. He rocks too.
That first line always bothers me. It should obviously be "Not all that is gold glitters" but that wouldn't fit the form of the poem.
@Jeremy Brookes actually Bilbo is the one who originally wrote it. In the "Council of Elrond" chapter, Bilbo gets a little miffed at people doubting Aragorn and recites it. He then sits down and asides to Frodo that he wrote that about the "Dunadan" as he knows him when Aragorn first told Bilbo about himself. Gandalf only included it in the letter so they would know he's really him.
@@jangtheconqueror It shouldn't. It means the opposite, that Aragorn is an epic bastard even if he looks like a simple ranger
@@jangtheconqueror "All that is gold does not glitter" doesn't mean "gold doesn't glitter." It means "some things that are made of gold do not glitter." Aragorn is "made of gold", but he "doesn't glitter". Tolkien reverted the older, more pessimistic saying "All that glitters is not gold". The modern saying was popularized by Shakespeare, but Tolkien surely dug deeper into the history of the phrase en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_that_glitters_is_not_gold
edit: I'm not implying that the phrasing COULDN'T be as you said it should be, I'm just saying that the meaning is really the same.
"I gave hope to the Dunedain, I have kept no hope for myself"
“They will answer to the KING OF GONDOR!!!” Fuck that get me everytime man and that follow up!
Well Gondor have more Muslims nw
Can we all just take a moment and praise Howard Shore? The music in this scene is incredible stunning.
how great is a movie score when even a sword gets its own incredibly epic music
Even a horse gets one as well, that's how good it is.
At 3:25 when the score starts the nostalgia hits me every time. It takes me back to 2003 and Seeing Return of the King for the first time but not only that it just reminds of that time and everything I was doing back then I get a little emotional it always amazes me how thinking about everyday things from your past can generate such strong emotions
Elrond: “Put aside the Ranger. Become who you were born to be.”
Aragorn: “Huh”
Elrond: “That's it, Aragorn. Look past the flesh. Look through the soft gelatin of these dull cow eyes, and see your enemy.”
Fighter with a bow
Aragorn "Thats impossible"
Elrond "No. Inevitable."
Eowyn: What's he doing?
Elron: He is beginning to believe.
Elrond: “Put aside the Ranger. Become who you were born to be.”
Aragorn: “Huh”
Elrond: “A two-hand melee character!"

Man it's hard to believe that Viggo Mortensen is actually 2 years older than Hugo Weaving. You'd never tell by the LOTR movies. You'd think Weaving has at least 10-12 years on him.
Talha K What’s even harder to believe is that Lee Pace who played Thranduil in the Hobbit is 2 years younger than Orlando Bloom who plays his son; Legolas
Well thats the thing about elves and men who have elf blood... They can hire an actor of any middle aged and call it good to be whoever ;)
Talha K maybe Viggo has good genes?😁
that s because aragorn is dunedine
Talha K what?? You fucking kiddi g me?? Well... Viggo is a dunedain
"The man who can wield the power of this sword can summon to him an army more deadly than any that walks this earth." The goosebumps this line gave me.
I still get such goosebumps when Elrond says the line: "They will answer to the king of Gondor. Anduril, Flame of the West..." He does it with such urgency in his voice, I always start picturing up all the people of Middle-Earth and their burning pride and built-up fury, despite the sufferings and the utter doom they're facing. I can almost feel it myself! Flame of the West is truly a perfect powerful name for this blade, and Hugo is a brilliant actor!
Hugo was so great as Elrond! I know some ppl thought that he was a weird choice, but I thought he was perfect
“There are those...who dwell in the mountain”. Chilling!
Honestly, I feel that introducing Anduril near the end was better than early on in the books. I mean, the books are just fantastic, mind you. But come on. You can't deny that Jackson did manage to outdo some segments in the movie.
Exactly my thoughts :)
Not to mention that FINALLY revealing the reforging of the sword of Elendil and presenting the newly reforged Anduril to Aragorn releases ALL that buildup to what the 3rd title represents for Aragorn's story - the Return of the King.
It wouldn't had too much sense in the books, where he is determined to become a King of Gondor (and Arnor) from the very start (among many other reasons, only then he could marry Arwen) and doesn't have all those forced dillemas presented in the movies. So why the fuck would he receive the blade in the third book, he didn't deserved it when he left the Rivendell? O_o
Bear in mind that Tolkien wrote LOTR as one very large book, which was later divided into three parts by publisher. The "return of the King" takes place through all the story, but in subtler way then in the movies.
Godunow100 I actually think it's one improvement made having Aragon have about becoming king to me was more interested than in the book him already deciding that
"I give hope to Men.
I keep no hope for myself."
Aragorn's mother's last words to him before she died.
You’d never hear words like this from women these days with the rampancy of Feminism.
It’s true tho, women inspired men to fight on, it’s what Keeps is men motivated to keep pushing until the soy arrives...
You missed capitalizing the first Hope as Aragorns birth name means Hope. She gave Hope(Aragorn) to the the duradain in order to give hope to mankind. That last part is such a deep dialog. Its on a whole other level. Also Aragorn lived with Elrond for his first 20 years or so until he moved out on rivendell
@@thevegastan That is unnecessary.
@@thevegastan stfu incel
3:12 - that line and the sound track. Just unbelievable!
I always get chills when Elrond shows Aragorn the sword anduril.
Every time I see this scene all I get are shivers the moment Lord Elrond says, "They will answer to the KING OF GONDOR!" goodness this movie is just amazing and the trilogy at that!
Same.
THEY WILL ANSWER TO THE KING OF GONDOR
David Fernández chills.
THEY WILL ANSWER TO THE KING OF HODOR!
@@a.j.s.1310 in that very moment Aragorn has decapitated Elrond:D it was close
If I remember correctly, Theoden is so shaken when he leaves because Elrond tells him how he is going to die, but that he must go through with it because it will result in Rohan and Gondor uniting for generations. His death is what brings Eowyn and Faramir together in the book.
Again, this is what I remember from reading it years ago.
Damn never knew that
yep that's true in the book that's why when the witch king flies at him in the the book he just draws in one breath and is content when his horse is thrown
Well, If i would have to bet all my money i would say Elrond and Theoden never met, in the books Elrond doesnt leave Rivendel, not even to deliver Anduril because Aragorn already carried it since the fellowship left Rivendel.
Galadriel through Gandalf told Aragorn to take the path of the dead of Dunharrow and Elladan and Elrohir told Aragorn, in the name of Elrond, to remember Malbeth the seer prophecy.
In the books Theoden has nothing to do with Eowyn and Faramir either, they just met in the house of healing right after Pelennor Battle, and thats it.
So, friend, sorry, but your commentary is fake.
@@ryan1000011 Again, this does not happen, in the book Snowmane is killed by a black arrow and it just falls upon Theoden crushing him.
@@TheLuisaco see it's been 15 years since i read and the black arrow sounds like something I remember so maybe i'm thinking about something else i'll have to re-read em
its been 20 years and I am stirred in my soul, deeply, every time I see this
Hugo Weaving is such an amazing actor...Watching the BTS, he executes his scenes to perfection every time. It's so amazing, it's like he was made to play the role of an ancient elf king, even older than Thranduil.
Why do I have a thing for elves???
Daxing Li actually dude, Thranduil is older than Elrond, having been born in Doriath before its destruction, Elrond was born when they went to the havens of Sirion in the year 532 of the first age, Doriath was destroyed in the year 503 of the first age
madmeddik Well played.
I think everyone (or at least most of the people) have a thing for elves. :D
Because their cool?
Because they're beautiful, wise, loyal and fearless in another words. :)
I like that Elrond and Aragorn have had their doubts about the world of men. Elrond himself said, "Men are weak" right before remarking in Fellowship that Aragorn had long abandoned his path to ascending to the throne of Gondor. Yet, Aragorn sees the will of men in Boromir's courageous death and ultimately in the men of Rohan, but needed this final push, facilitated by Arwen, to motivate the two men she loves the most to believe in something greater. They both needed a little kick in the back side to push them that little further. Putting that sword in Aragorn's hand is the injecting of confidence and strength he needed to take his rightful place in the world.
Yep.
3:27 part gives so much chills. They dont make movies like this soo good anymore
Cause it’s all about agendas and identity politics nowadays
The soundtrack is just next level perfect
@@Jjw338 2016 called, they want their reactionary internet-poisoned whinging and seething back
And 20 years later... that sword is still one of the most beautiful in cinematic history.
no matter if it doesn't exist in the book, this scene is great
It wasn’t in the book!? Man! Peter Jackson really outdid himself in this movie!!!
@@ethanschmid4104 No it's not. In the books, Aragorn already carried Andúril when the fellowship left Rivendell. I really like how they changed it in the movies tho. Aragorn slowly changing from Strider to Isildurs heir throughout the story.
@@bufflucario same here.It gives Aragorn a character arc to fill and receiving Anduril this late in the war, especially in a time when Gondor needed their king the most.
@@ethanschmid4104 The "reluctant hero" storytelling trope was not something that existed in medieval literature. It's a modern storytelling convention. Tolkien sought to make Aragorn a mythic and medieval hero, and using modern storytelling tropes would have absolutely killed that intention completely.
@@brooksboy78 Almost every main character in the bible/tora is a reluctant hero. It‘s really not that modern :)
How fitting that Elrond, the brother of Elros (the First King and founder of Numenor) and ancestor to Aragorn, offers him the sword of Elendil.
Gosh. Always loved this scene. It's like King Arthur and Excalibur.
"I give hope to men, I keep none for myself" Its soo good
Damn if only Jon had this satisfying finish to his buildup in GOT but no he has became useless. LOTR is still the king of fantasy and nothing comes close to that if it comes to complex storytelling and character development.
AGREED
my thoughts too.
It's because of this new trend of "subverting expectations". They want shock value so much they lose sight of the plot.
@@sanayakhan2042 "Subverting expectations" is often stupid because the reason there are expectations in the first place is because you've spent time laying groundwork for something to happen, only to decide at the last minute that none of it mattered and those narrative setups no longer have any narrative payoff. It's amateur-hour storytelling, so it's no wonder Dave and Dan went for it.
This guy thinks LOTR has more complex plot and characters than GOT lmao.
Elrond: "Where is Aragorn?" Soldier: "He JUST went to take a shit in the woods... borrowed my TP. Should be back in ten... maybe twelve minutes. Fourteen tops. Is that a sword you're carrying?"
😂😂
Is this a reference to something? Lol
Aragorn through the bushes: Excuse me, can someone hand me some wipes.
Elrond hands him the sword.
Aragorn: So do I wipe with the sword, or summon those who dwell in the mountains to come wipe me?
Imagine if Pippin said that hahaha
3:25 this theme man, it just hits different
3:14 the most boss ass moment of the scene. The music, the slow mo, the sword the dialouge, is so satisfying.
My my. That sword is such a beautiful elegant weapon. It's tall and fierce looking and just amazing. Every detail even down too the leather..
A buddy of mine has one of the actual props from the movie. It's actually incredibly uncomfortable in the hand. Those ridges dig into your palm like you wouldn't believe.
"I am Andúril who was once Narsil. Let the thralls of Mordor flee before me!"

"It will not be our end but his."
One of the greatest quotes in the movie history.
Cringe
20 years later and Aragorn is still one of the most badass characters ever!
Moving the reforging of Andúril to Return of The King is the best book-to-movie change. This scene is so beautiful.
Hard disagree. It was a terrible idea that robs Aragorn of his character growth. The entire point of re-forging Narsil, and Aragorn's acceptance of it after the Council of Elrond, is his acceptance of his destiny. But, he doesn't actually accept that destiny until after Gandalf falls in Moria and he must choose between continuing the journey to Mordor with Frodo or saving Pippin and Merry. It takes two books to see that growth in Aragorn but PJ and his fellow writers decided to tie this moment to Arwen's impending death in order to make her (not Aragorn) a more relevant character.
When he chooses to walk the Paths of the Dead, it is a choice that Aragorn makes but others consider unwise. That, again, shows him coming into his own as the King of the West. Again, this scene undercuts that choice because Aragorn's decision to walk that path directly springs from Elrond's advice in this scene as opposed to Aragorn looking into the palantir.
Little things like this really ruined ROTK for me as the movie departed more and more from the dominant themes of the books.
@@TalisUmbras In fairness, in the books Galadriel first reminds Aragorn of the Paths of the Dead through Gandalf after his return ("but dark is the path appointed for thee/the dead watch the road that leads to the sea") and is then also counselled to take the path by Elladan and Elrohir, Elrond's sons. ('Elrohir said to him: "I bring word to you from my father: The days are short. If thou art in haste, remember the Paths of the Dead."'') So it wasn't wholly Aragorn's idea; and the sons of Elrond also brought the standard that Arwen made for him. Given the sons of Elrond were erased from the movies, I suppose Elrond himself became their substitute, but I would have preferred that Elrond was bringing him the standard, rather than the sword.
Jackson made many good changes to the story. In many ways the movies are superior to the books even though I love the books.
@@walover165 Yet Aragorn states quite clearly that he would have to be very desperate indeed before he would consider taking that path. It wasn't until he struggled with Sauron by way of the Palantir does he make that decision.
@@TalisUmbras ?
That cape flip when he pulls out the sword. Fabulous.
Dude, when Aragorn unsheathes the sword- I get chills every. Single. Time.
Man the casting of this trilogy was so damned epic. 11/10 in every way.
I love this scene. Aragorn always gave hope to other people of Middle-earth, but in that way, he also seemed lost and just never could find the hope that he should have step up to claim his right as the future King of Gondor. Now this sword, Anduril the Flame of the West and the Fellowship itself becomes his hope to save the world and himself.
I personally think that Aragorn is one of the best characters in the trilogy. And Viggo Mortensen played him to perfection. :)
I like him better in the books.
In the books the sword was reforged in fellowship of the ring, and Aragorn only intended to follow the fellowship till they reached Gondor.
I will give you that. Its been a long time since I read the books so I wouldnt know but Ill agree with you there.
I like the novels and the movies equally
@@lolwut112 In the books, Aragorn is a one-dimensional Mary Sue. He is so rude and he flashes his sword to the Guards of Edoras and insults them for doing their jobs. And we're supposed to think that guy is so kingly. Tolkien wrote him as such.
@@tiaaaron3278 Gary Stue, You obviously haven't read the books.
Am I the only one who thought Aragorn wasn’t going to have enough room to draw the sword?
Nope I too thought the sword looked too big for him! XD
But to be fair; the High King Elendil, it's original owner, was said to be about 7'11.
just two bros hanging out in a tent showing off their swords
Same lol!
Can't be bigger than Cloud's Sword! That show off! :P
Imagine he just cut down the tent by mistake xD
1:44 "shit man, how long has she got left???"
"About 150 years I reckon"
You can pull any scene out of this almost 11&1/2 hour trilogy and it is worthy of being posted in isolation, it’s unbelievable these films were ever made
3:52 Aragorn damn near took off Elrond's nose there 😂
Elrond: Mr. Anderson.
Aragorn: My lord??
Elrond: oh wrong film mb.
It's the correct film. Elrond literally hands him the code to unlock the virus that dwell in the mountains.
Finally Aragorn reached the level required to wield Anduril. Now is time to defeat the main boss and complete the last main quest 👍
I wish they would have kept it like the book because the sword was re-forged halfway through the fellowship of the rings and Aragorn carries it after the group was first formed. The book The Two Towers shows him using it at night and its lite up like a flame while he is killing those goblin-orcs abominations.
@@michaelmichaelagnew8503 Nah, the fact that Aragorn got the sword in the darkest hour was the best decision. Book Aragorn is sorta onedimensional: he gets the sword and goes yelling about his kingdom over and over. Movie Aragorn is reluctant to reclaim the crown until he finally understands it's the only way they can actually save Middle Earth.
I love the delivery of "Ónen i-estel edain, ú-chebin estel anim" by both Elrond and Aragorn.
"Ónen i-estel edain" (I gave hope to mankind) is Elrond's way of saying he trusts Aragorn with the faith of the world
"ú-chebin estel anim" (I keep none for myself) is Aragorn's way of expressing humility and doubt.
Combined with the fact that these were Aragorn's mothers' last words gives this scene SO MUCH meaning and depth. Absolute perfection
Shit Elrond, we almost speared you to death. Creeping up all like a Nazgul.
😂
As if a human could spear Lord Elrond to death...
He does have a ring of power
Actually, Nazgul is the Wyvern that the WRAITHS ride.
"The Nazgûl also called Ringwraiths, Ring-wraiths, Black Riders, Dark Riders, the Nine Riders, or simply the Nine... They were nine men who succumbed to Sauron's power and attained near-immortality as wraiths..." -
Taken from wiki, but Aragon also say in the first movie when in Bree, way before the introduction of the Wyvern, that they are called Nazgul, a.k.a Ring-wraiths. Quote is, "They're the Nazgul. Ring-wraiths. Neither living nor dead."
mr Anderson
Oh gauddd
Mr Anderson welcome back.. Ive missed you.
Mr. Aragorn.
I scrolled down way to much for this
my name is neo
"Put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be."
What makes this scene and quote even more awesome is the fact that Sauron later aknowledges that exactly that happened. As Gandalf said in the second movie: Sauron fears what Aragorn may become. And Elrond in this scene tells him to do the same, to put aside the ranger and become king.
And when it finally happened, Sauron recognized it at the Black Gate, where he first adressed him as Agarorn, then reevaluated and adressed him as Elessar. Sauron realized that it was not merely Aragorn the Ranger anymore, but Elessar, the true King of Gondor. A worthy enemy and threat.
It's interesting how this scene contrasts with scenes from more modern stories. There are plenty of modern movies where characters need to let go of their limitations and become who they were meant to be, but almost always, they are letting go of limits that were placed on them by others, which makes their ensuing power boost feel unearned.
But here, Aragorn has to put aside the limits he put on himself. He has to give up his own wants to become something greater and more difficult, and that's a true sacrifice, one that makes his ensuing rise to king actually potent.
