Sometimes… Only ever sometimes… I like to think that after Bilbo had seen the One Ring resting against Frodo’s bare chest, after having given the lad both Sting and the Mithril shirt, and had involuntarily reached for it with the intent to take from the younger Hobbit by force… Perhaps the action itself had somehow also forced countless memories from the past to flash before his eyes, as he realized what he had done. And when he forced himself to turn away from Frodo with tears building in his eyes and an utterly heartbroken expression falling into place over his face, I like to think that maybe… Just maybe… When he spoke… When he said: “I’m sorry I brought this upon you, my boy.” Maybe he was thinking back to the moments in which he had decided to refrain from telling Gandalf the truth of having found the Ring in the caves. The realization hitting him that nothing good ever actually came out of him harboring through the years that past, other than it now resulting in Frodo having to bear it. And when he said: “I’m sorry that you must carry this burden,” He was referring to the terrible weight of literally the world on Frodo’s shoulders that no doubt weighed heavily on his own shoulders throughout the years. And the realization hitting him that it would no doubt be far worse for the Lad, due to him needing to somehow find his way to It’s birthplace in order to destroy it. (which I’m almost certain Lord Elrond would have filled him in on, after the Fellowship had departed. Considering Bilbo was there in Rivendell at the time. Just hadn’t taken part of the meeting.) But above all…. Above everything else… I like to think that it wasn’t Frodo he was referring or crying out to when Bilbo said: “I’m sorry for everything.” In that agonizingly heartbroken tone and eyes that seemed to be seeing something Frodo wasn’t after he said it… Maybe Bilbo, in that moment, was remembering thirteen faces. Three very specific ones in particular. Maybe he was remembering the mischievous gleam in both Fili and Kili’s eyes and Thorin’s rare gleam of an infectious smile. Remembering the way they could hold themselves elegant and strong and regal not just on a normal day, but even in battle. Remembering the bond he’d developed with them after hard-earning their respect. The friendship that somehow appeared out of nowhere between himself and them, along with the others. But most of all, perhaps he suddenly remembered the day in which he was forced to watch the three of them descend into their final resting place, within the Royal tombs of the Lonely Mountain. Finally, voicing just how incredibly sorry he was for how everything turned out at the end of that particular adventure, with Frodo the only one paying witness to him finally breaking down and admitting it out loud. Knowing that, although he truly wanted to, he would never be able to see Erebor one last time before his days were up and his strength failed him. As he thought he would after reaching Rivendell, before he left the Shire on his birthday. Maybe, just maybe, these were his thoughts. The heartbroken thoughts of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield’s finest Master Burglar….
You have a beautiful, wistful, spirit. I pray the Lord, Jesus, blesses you! I can truly feel your love for Tolkien's memorable adventure. I agree with you completely. I think, after returning to the Shire, planting his tree, and drinking a warm cup of tea, Bilbo recounted his merry memories of Thorin, Kili, and Fili, and especially Balin and Gandalf, and felt the bittersweet tenderness in his heart for his fallen brothers, and brothers left behind. Bilbo might've lit a fire or dusted the mantel, and flashed back to a time before dragons and cursed woods, before elfish palaces and beasts, misty mountains and stone giants, goblin kings and a shapeshifting man, war and desolation, a powerful ring and a shaddow of a hobbit; to an evening of unwelcome guests, an empty pantry, and a sorrowful song, sung by lamenting dwarves; dwarves without a home and a scattered people; but mighty and strong in their conviction. I think Bilbo kept the map so he'd never forget the way to his second home; the path that lead to the greatest friends he'd ever known; a company of companions turned brothers. I imagine he cried out with a longing to be with them again...all of them. Tolkien's tales will forever warm my heart. They're a shining light in this ever-darkening world. May the Lord remember J.R.R. Tolkien in His Kingdom, Amen!
Bilbo Baggins: The Unexpected Hero. The adventures Hobbit who would go on to be a one of the Greatest Heroes to the Dwarven Kingdom of Erebor, the Elves of Mirkwood, and the Men of Dale. This was beautiful. I'm on a LOTR kick right now. And this made my day.
WOW how have i not seen this before? its so pretty! the scenes! the voice overs! I got goosebumps from watching this. I can't help but love the hobbit movies. Well done.
Sometimes I fear war, especially when I feel I am a coward and I will lose. I feel like everytime I lost a physical fight just adds another weight on my back. I just wonder if Tolkien can write journeys of people becoming brave I just wonder when I will gain courage. I dunno.
I don't know who needs to hear this right now but this is for you “There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!”- Thorin oaken shield king under the mountain

why did bilbo ask for the ring to look at 1 last time if bilbo knew what the ring was and what frodo was going to do with the ring???

After watching Witcher season 2, I need to rewatch The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings to erase the travesty I've seen.
Didnt watch It, It is bad?
@@jaymealonso4202 butchered a lot of the characters like Vesimer and Ciri.
