The cuts of Aragorn crying / shouting when the girls mistake his character for other people was top tier, gj editor 😂😂
Agreed. And even more props for using the Clint Mansell music.
The scream had me rolling! LOL
I was coming to say exactly that! I laughed out loud
was hilarious haha
Came to say the same thing!! So well done and clever!
19:56 Chi: “Just give it back to him” 😂
Some alternate timeline:
-Sauron: “Oh, uhh thanks?”
-*wipes middle Earth from the map*
Destruction was my Old Master Morgoths way. My desire is the subjugation and control over not just Middle Earth but from the Undying Lands to the Sun lands.
@@shukei26 Forgive me, my lord 🙇♂️
i literally shouted "WHAT?!" lolol
I almost spat my tea out when I heard that lol. I never heard anyone come up with that solutiuon before lmao
Hahaha! Yeah, I was like what are you thinking?
This isn’t some political game like in our world. This is a fight against true evil. Not a country or some random typical humans. They conquer, expand, enslave, etc.
So giving the ring is like giving a fanatic his/her gun back only to still shoot you & your people still regardless.
No negotiations, no mercy, etc. just complete genocide of 1 and more races.
Remember, WWII, Nazi Germany telling the world the jews are evil even telling their own children stories of absurd & delusional things about jews. Imagine growing up believing that. You can see them with such hate & prejudice. No remorse cuz they strongly believe they’re right.
No offense intended for any Germans here. Just saying & hope anyone here learned something if you haven’t heard about it. Not looking for trouble.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the greatest trilogy ever made. It's a masterpiece. No one can tell me otherwise.
100%
Well, They can tell you, but they would be mistaken ^_^
We'll have to see once Dune: Messiah releases
I would counter with first StarWars movies
@@gerhardadler3418 Not even close with all due respect. LOTR is the epitome of western fantasy cinema and literature.
1:30 “But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made… will to dominate all life.”
Chi: I wish I had that ring 😂
We see your real motives now.
19:53 _"Sauron needs only this Ring to cover all the lands in a second darkness." "Seeking it. All this thought is bent on it."_
Chi: "So just give it back to him!"
Hella: "NOo!"
🤣 Pure comedy! This is why i subscribed! LOVE THIS stuff!
Also there is another movie that is a prequel The lord of the rings called the hobbit. It will help tie up.
The wide eyed, "No no." made me laugh pretty hard.
Here is some fun facts for you two. The actor that plays Bilbo Baggins is Ian Holm. You have seen him before. He played Ash the robot in Alien. He also played Father Cornelius in The Fifth Element. The actor that plays Lord Elrond (who Hella called The Doctor, is Hugo Weaving. He played Agent Smith in The Matrix movies. He also played the character V in the movie V for Vendetta. The actor that plays Boromir is Sean Bean. He plays Ned Stark on Game of Thrones. The actor that plays Saruman is Christopher Lee. He plays Count Dooku in the Star Wars Prequel movies. Christopher Lee also met, was friends with and had dinner with J.R.R. Tolkien the author of The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books. Tolkien wrote these books between 1937 and 1949. They have been published in over 38 different languages.
My gosh, I never knew he played Father Cornelius in the Fifth Element. And I actually watched a reaction to that yesterday. 🤦🏽
The realization feels wild to me now.
They also know Elrond from Hacksaw Ridge.
@@Gutslinger That's right. He played Thomas Doss, Desmond's father.
@@Gutslinger Ian Holm also played Professor Terry Rapson of the Hedland Centre in Scotland in the movie Day After Tomorrow.
Arwen (Liv Tyler) played Bruce Willis' daughter in Armageddon. Hella and Tien just reacted to this movie two days ago.
"Can I jump into the Tv?" "No, you'll break it" LMAO This reaction with the Aragon Edits is pure gold. You guys (Tien included) are one of the best reaction channels on youtube. Keep up the great work!
😍🥹❤️
You can't jump into the TV, but you can fly to New Zealand where the sets for Hobbiton still exists as a tourist attraction.
@@Ajonr yeah, and they project the three movies for 9 hours straight in that place also, I don't know when, but, if you've gone there just for these movies, could just check that out －O－
I've been very busy for weeks at work. I just realized how much I missed you girls. So happy I got to see your reaction to this masterpiece.
It's based on a book series written by a professor of history and literature about 80 years ago. The books are the true masterpiece, among the best-selling of all time. The entire fantasy genre is rooted in it.
Not only that, but Harry Potter is basically a copy past of it too in a lot of ways
Tolkien was a linguist.
Cool and substantially true post, but Lord Dunsany and George MacDonald would like to have a word.
@@andrewcrowder4958 not to mention Poul Anderson and robert e howard
Tolkien was not a professor of history and literature, but of linguistics (languages).
He's hell bent on finding the ring, Chi "just give it back to him then" 😂😂 no no❤
"I wish I have that ring."
Oh, my sweet summer child...
To be fair, I wish the same. I'd give Sauron a run for his money when it comes to being evil.
Do I tell them or do you tell?? hehehehe
Considering all the people that have wanted the ring, they're not fully in bad company. ;)
@@sinther1 lmao you act like we’re the only ones that use it. Nobody cares about a phrase
Gollum.
I’m glad you watched the extended cut
Indeed, I've seen too many reactors watch the extended cut, but only of the second and third films, once they heard it's what they should watch, while never seeing the extended cut of _this_ one.
My favorite extended scene is the passing of the elves because it really established the mystical/angelic aspect that the elves have. It’s always cathartic seeing others react to it
Me too
Meh, I'd argue the theatrical cut is better for first time watchers. The story is more concise and flows better, which makes more sense for a first time watch, especially for people who are new to the story. The extended cut is simply additional content for superfans.
51:57 *Ring freestyling*
Hella: "Stop talking!"
Ring: "Okay. Sorry. 🥺"
"Ring Freestyling"
I just woke up both of my cats, laughing my ass off at that one....
they are now staring at me with rather angry expressions
M n Morgoth been real quiet since The Ring dropped this beat.
The 'Lament of Aragorn' was appreciated when the girls gave others his name or destiny.
Aragorn broke 37 toes in the making of this reaction.
31:10 This is why we dont drink, we drink, we talk.
In vino veritas
Drunk lips sink ships!
@@Stogie2112Loose lips sink ships.
@@christopheryoung3850 …. I’m familiar with the saying. My post was a twist on it.
The seductive nature of the One Ring teaches a good lesson on the dangers of acquiring power.
"Power attracts the corruptible," the great Frank Herbert said. Be wary of those who desire power. They may say that they want to do good, but once they acquire power, they often become just as destructive as any other evil person.
Is this a commentary on the current election?😊
@@michaelstach5744 .. No, it is not. It is a commentary on human beings and all of human history.
Just so you know, those "little boys" aren't boys: when Frodo and Sam left the Shire for Bree, Frodo was 33 years old, Sam was 38, Merry was 37, and Pippin was the youngest at 28. They are naturally small in stature because they are hobbits, not men or dwarves or elves.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, if we go by what the book says, Frodo is 33 at the birthday party, but *50* when he finally leaves (same age as Bilbo was when he went on _his_ adventure). Gandalf spends 17 years figuring out whether Frodo actually has the One Ring, and a bunch of other stuff. The script writers removed that gap because they thought it wouldn't be good film pacing.
@@fllthdcrb Agreed! The point is that the hobbits aren't "boys". 😁
For the purpose of the story they could just as well be children honestly.
@@kosefix No. They really couldn't.
@@kosefix - They are all what we would call adults, maybe young adults, but certainly not children.
51:58 "Stop talking!"
The One Ring: "Oh, um... sorry."
Lol. Frodo was not a little boy. What the film does not mention is the fact that the party at the beginning was not just for Bilbo. It was also Frodo's birthday party. Frodo was turning 33, the age that a Hobbit becomes a legal adult. The amount of time between the night of the party (when Bilbo left) and the night that Gandalf came back and asked "Is it secret? Is it safe?" was 17 YEARS! At the beginning of the quest, when Frodo and Sam leave the Shire, Frodo is 50 years old.
This is the greatest trilogy of all time! It is a story that transcends every culture in any time. It is a true timeless masterpiece.
There's only ONE trilogy.
And it's not of the Ring.
It's of the JEDI!
Universally agreed upon to be the greatest movie trilogy ever made, you're correct. That's just reality as everyone with a brain knows
@@JHolt_88 Randall was wrong on that one lol
Wait what about the Three Ninjas trilogy? 😂
@@Syzygy77LOL love those ones. Good ole Tumtum
Boromir: *nothing but negativity and doubt*
-
52:11
Hela: "You can stay at home."😤
Yet he’s one of the most powerful characters who actually was always for the best interest of the hobbits and so forth. Especially in the books. Even Aragorn leaned more towards being like Borimir in many instances for decisions and so forth. Boromir and his entire family are also Númenoreans like Aragorn but from another lineage.
I've watched many of their videos, and even just 21 minutes in, I know I'm in for a teary treat. Well done, ladies. You get it.
Aragorn was singing was about Beren and Luthien. It's really more like a poem, that tells the tale of their love. There is a pretty significant amount of lore like this for LotR. But you probably don't want to read it until you've finished with this trilogy.
14:29 Bilbo, tempted by the ring, "Yet, after all, why not?"
Hella, "Nooooo"
Frodo is 50 years old when he leaves the Shire. Sam is a little younger. Pippin is the youngest, being in his 20s I think.
They changed the timeline in the movies.
I believe the four hobbit's mean age is meant to convey about 30-something in human years, with Frodo's age being equivalent to a human 40-ish years old.
Good to know.
Hobbits are considered to come of age at 33, which is how old Frodo is at Bilbo's birthday party. The two share the same birthday. Merry and Pippin are the hobbit-equivalent of teenagers, which is why they sometimes do irresponsible things.
In the movie I'd say that Frodo was about 34, although the films don't confirm that he was 33 when Bilbo had his birthday party. Then again, Peter Jackson also got the year of Bilbo's birthday party wrong!
In the original stories, Isildur wasnt framed as greedy or selfish, instead he was more like Boromir, scared of what might happen if he DIDN'T take the ring & might end up needing it. He was actually on his way to deliver it to elrond & prepare for a journey to Mordor to destroy it, but he never made it there. He was originally a more tragic character, like Boromir, not evil just a tendency to look at things in terms of power & politics instead of the moral or ethical context. But I understand why they made him greedy in the movies, it is faster & conveys the kind of power & temptation the ring has over people, even heroic figures like Isildur
Yes, Isildur was a great hero in "The Silmarillion".
49:22 "Speak English!" 😆👍👍
I love how you whisper so the ring wraiths won't hear you. Then when the battle starts you become raging Hobbits ready to fight. This going to be epic i am going to watch again after work 😂 expect another comment
Absolutely must watch the extended versions of all three
Good job choosing the extended edition. It's absolutely essential for movies 2 and especially 3.
This is extended
This masterpiece trilogy was a labor of love from everyone involved in its production. I am so glad you opted for the extended version. The extra material does cause a few pacing issues, but it is well worth it for the additional story scenes it gives us.
Not American culture so much as English culture. But you'll still love it.
English culture and norse mythology.
Seeing the Lord of the Rings in theater was one of the greatest experiences ever!
"Hey! why you destroying the trees?" Chi
"They don't like trees" Hela 😂
wait until the second movie ;)
This is highly accurate from the books actually lol. In the Two Towers Tolkien spoke specifically about the orcs going out of their way to destroy plants and trees when they didn't even need to, mostly out of spite 😂
IS THIS FINALLY HAPPENING?! YESSSS!
“That’s why you don’t eardropping”, wise words
Ah, the extended edition. Thank you to whoever made that choice 😊
Man, I broke my toe laughing so hard at your reactions.
😂🤣😁
15:30
That's a good catch most reactors don't make, that the Ring lands with a solid thud instead of bouncing as a normal ring would. They did it using a magnet, it was one of many subtle things they used to help give character to the Ring.
49:16 I love how “The Foreign Girls” told them to speak English.🤣🤣🤣 great episode!
Frodo was the best ring bearer because he had the purest heart. That's why he was entrusted with the ring.
Could not be happier for you girls to be experiencing this great fantasy trilogy classic.
Been waiting for you to watch lord of the rings. Glad your finally are. Regarding some of the questions you had earlier:
1) The reason the Ringwraith’s didn’t try and go through the water at Bucklebury ferry is because the water is too deep in a ford so they needed to find a safer way to get to Bree. In addition the Nazgul and other servants of Sauron avoid water because it is the domain of Ulmo, a Valar
2) The moth was tasked to find the Great Eagles. These Eagles are intelligent beings as they were created by higher sentient beings.
3) The elf woman Aragorn was sing about on the way to Rivendale is Lúthien. This elf was real and she is a significant elf to Arwen and Aragorn because:
- Arwen’s father Lord Elrond was Lúthien's great-grandson and
- Aragorn was descended from her via Elros (another Elf that chose to be mortal and is Lord Elrond’s brother) and the Royal Family of Númenor.
... And it's ok for him to sing about her because she died thousands of years before he was born.
Holy shit! The two most beautiful reactors of all time reacting to the greatest trilogy of all time!!!
🥰🥹
I'm so glad you saw this! And that you splitted it in two, too, so you can react to the extended version of it!! Welcome in Tolkien's World!
Whichever of you ladies is in charge of hair/makeup/wardrobe deserves an award.
Watching you two appreciate movies in an uncut reaction is fun, but you two look so stylish while doing it.
So happy that you've started your adventure into Middle-Earth! It's quite a remarkable place, as I'm sure you are already discovering. I'm quite thrilled to be sharing this adventure with you.
Oh boy I have been waiting for this…tears will be shed…and the sun rises.
This series is great you will love it and we will enjoy the ride with. 😊❤️
Your editor went above and beyond on this one!
Yes, the girl on the left is probably the most charming and cutest vampire ever.
Hela: "I think this going to be the longest movie I've ever watched."
Oh, honey, you still have two more movies to go
The song Aragorn sings has huge importance! Here is the full version: “The leaves were long, the grass was green, The hemlock-umbels tall and fair, And in the glade a light was seen; Of stars in shadow shimmering, Tinnúviel was dancing there, To music of a pipe unseen
And light of stars was in her hair
And in her raiment glimmering
There Beren came from mountains cold; And lost he wandered under leaves; And where the Elven-river rolled. He walked alone and sorrowing. He peered between the hemlock-leaves; And saw in wonder flowers of gold
Upon her mantle and her sleeves
And her hair like shadow following
Enchantment healed his weary feet
That over hills were doomed to roam
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet
And grasped at moonbeams glistening
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
She lightly fled on dancing feet
And left him lonely still to roam
In the silent forest listening
He heard there oft the flying sound
Of feet as light as linden-leaves
Or music welling underground
In hidden hollows quavering
Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves
And one by one with sighing sound
Whispering fell the beachen leaves
In the wintry woodland wavering
He sought her ever, wandering far
Where leaves of years were thickly strewn
By light of moon and ray of star
In frosty heavens shivering
Her mantle glinted in the moon
As on a hill-top high and far
She danced, and at her feet was strewn
A mist of silver quivering
When winter passed, she came again
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain
And melting water bubbling
He saw the elven-flowers spring
About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling
Again she fled, but swift he came
Tinnúviel ! , Tinnúviel !
He called her by her elvish name
And there she halted listening
One moment stood she, and a spell
His voice laid on her: Beren came
And doom fell on Tinúviel
That in his arms lay glistening
As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering
Tinnúviel the elven-fair
Immortal maiden elven-wise
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering
Long was the way that fate them bore
O'er stony mountains cold and grey
Through halls of ireon and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless
The Sundering Seas between them lay
And yet at last they met once more
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing sorrowless”
The true elvish version is far greater and so full of beauty & nuanced mournful sadness that’s break the hearts of mortals from its beauty and sadness so the true song has been sort of taboo and the mannish tongues that retell it is stated to only be a shadow beneath the tree of the true story!
(A clip of it is in the original definitive version though. Viggo Mortenson who plays Aragorn designed the melody and style himself and wished it to sound Celtic in nature.)
I recommend reacting to the cover done by Clamavi De Profundis and Tolkien Ensemble after the trilogy is finished and even “How Howard Shore Used Voices”. You’ll see just how deep it went. The lore itself went into the musics lyrics. Using the languages within middle earth. So even when stuff couldn’t be put in they found other ways to highly reference it via the music. It ties in all the themes at the very end in a very profound way. The thumbnail image for it is Galadriel and the image has a blue tint.
The trilogy of lord of the rings is universally agreed upon to be the greatest movie trilogy ever made, and that's objectively correct
Idk, Back to the Future is up there too.
STAR WARS?
@@user-lg6lw5ff9z Aaah, the original SW trilogy is good, but it's far from being perfect.
My wedding ring is the One Ring. Best ring ever, but people say I disappeared on the altar.
I deliberate picked a wedding ring that looked like the One Ring.
34:32 first reaction I remember that someone notices Frodo can indeed speak elvish. Congrats :)
My wife is filipina and your reactions remind me so much of her. Favorite part was when you said shut up and get on the horse. Asian women are amazing. The empathy and passion. But you always instantly know in your own minds what needs to be done.
"shut up woman get on my horse" dont forget the taste of raisins, :) also maybe go around the universe and other places
They’re much better than western white women who are completely brainwashed by culturalMarxism/socialist fantasies combined with excessive materialism
I've been waiting for this reaction!!
It's a beautiful thing to see others fall in love with your favorite movies! Great reaction!!
When it comes to the Fantasy Genre, the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and his fellow Inklings (such as C.S. Lewis, the author of The Chronicles of Narnia) are the central pillar and a bar set so high, no other author even comes close, not even George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling.
"The Incident With the Dragon" is the premise of The Hobbit series.
I LOVE your reactions - I don't think I've laughed so hard at a LOTR reaction before. I didn't know this was just part 1 so I was abit sad when the video ended 😂😂❤
Oh, wow. You ladies are in for a very special journey!
Edit: You made a great choice by picking the Extended Editions! While they only add a little bit to the first movie, they add very important scenes to the second and third films.
Edit: Hahaha, your editor is working overtime on this one!
Unexpected even. hehe
35:25 Chi just very naturally hit upon one of the core roots of the writings (not the films) of Tolkien himself. That made me smile. ❤
If you’ve loved Harry Potter you’re definitely in for a more epic ride with Lord of the Rings. Couldn’t be happier to be on this reaction journey with you both! 🥲
Hella do you recognize the female elf Arwen? She also plays Harry’s daughter Grace in Armageddon 🙂
22:16 "Should we like get them a horse or something?"
Hahahaha, yeah, there's gotta be some animal that can get there faster.
A jet maybe 🤣

@@STOCKHOLM07 A last alliance against corporate greed has been formed
@@_stayoung_ It's more making good IPs terrible we're against but I welcome you into the brotherhood.
@@STOCKHOLM07 Well, corporate greed is the reason those IP's have become terrible. You can tell the market has made a clear shift in this past decade, and most big movie companies are now making decisions based primarily on low risk earnings. Its not worth it for a corporation to take a gamble with a new IP or story when they can just re-release or add to an already successful IP and milk it for more money instead, corporate greed.
I’m sorry, but Star Wars always suffered from terrible writing, it’s apparent that Lucas was not very talented in that aspect and did not have the story fully fleshed out, or whoever it was that did most of the writing. Honestly it seems like they were just making it up as they went and the franchise suffered for that. Also, these new movies/shows do not in any way sully or hurt the original or source material, I don’t know much about the new Star Wars stuff, I don’t watch it as I don’t care for that franchise. But where LOTR is concerned, Rings of Power is more fan fiction than portraying anything from the books, it’s not like they are adding anything to it, nothing is canon, they arent rewriting anything. So I’ve never understood why people get so upset about these things.
Chi and Hela never disappoint, great reaction ladies. Best in the business 👌
Thank you thank you 🙏
In the books, Gandalf is gone for 17 years before coming back to the shire. Frodo is 47 years old, and Sam is his employee. Pippin and Mary are Frodo’s best friends. In the book, 5 hobbits left to another house in the shire. Then Frodo, Sam, Mary, and pippin leave the shire. The 5th hobbit pretends that Frodo is there in the house.
Merry not Mary!
Not *ALL* who wander are lost...Tolkien
Editor going off with the Aragorn edits lmaoooo
I'm so excited! The director is from New Zealand and the author was English, but I'm a Texan eager to watch you 2 foreign girls! Fun, fun, fun! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
This needs to be said. Frodo and the other hobbits are not "little boys". They are full grown adults.
Tbf Merry and Pippin do act like teenagers."Full grown adults" don't usually steal vegetables for fun
Galadriel: "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."
Hela: "Don't body shame."
😂😂😂
I was hoping you'd watch these movies! So excited for the journey you're beginning.
It's a little confusing, but yes, Aragorn's lullaby was a song about a different elf woman. The song is about Luthien, an elf woman who died a long time ago, and her story is very famous to the people of Middle Earth. Luthien is also similar to Arwen, the one Aragorn loves, because Arwen and Luthien both fell in love with mortals. And the story in the song has a very sad ending. So when Aragorn is singing, he's thinking of the woman he loves and worrying that she might have a sad ending too, just like Luthien did.
The important point is that when he was singing, Aragorn was thinking about Arwen, and Arwen is the only woman he loves.
I love one of the girls said "I wish i have that ring" but in the end, whole point of trilogy is the complete opposite of this wish.
Bilbo Walking Song: “Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known”
The original version of the song is recited by Bilbo in the last chapter of The Hobbit, at the end of his journey back to the Shire. Coming to the top of a rise he sees his home in the distance, and stops and essentially sings what I shared above!
There are three versions of this walking song in The Lord of the Rings.
The first is sung by Bilbo when he leaves the Shire and is setting off to visit Rivendell:
“The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”
The second version is identical except for changing the word "eager" to "weary" in the fifth line. It is spoken aloud, slowly, by Frodo, as he and his companions pause on their way to Crickhollow, looking beyond to lands that some of them have never seen before.
The third version is spoken by Bilbo in Rivendell after the hobbits have returned from their journey. Bilbo is now an old, sleepy hobbit, who murmurs the verse and then falls asleep.
“The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.”
1977: The Hobbit (1977 film): Sections of the poem are sung during the trip through Mirkwood. It appears on the soundtrack titled "Roads".
1980: The Return of the King (1980 film):
A song inspired by the poem is sung at the end of the film called "Roads Go Ever, Ever On".
1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series):
Bilbo sings the song as he leaves Bag End. It is sung by John Le Mesurier to a tune by Stephen Oliver.
1997: An Evening in Rivendell:
The Tolkien Ensemble adapted an original melody to the song, composed by Caspar Reiff.
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
Parts of the song are sung by Gandalf in his first appearance, and also by Bilbo as he leaves Bag End.
2006: The Lord of the Rings Musical:
The poem is the basis of the song "The Road Goes On" sung by Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin in the first act.
2014: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies:
Lines of the poem partially make up the lyrics of The Last Goodbye, performed by Billy Boyd(Pippin) for the credits of the film.
This is just stuff to know when you see the next films. Maybe seeing this will spark something you read here or in other people’s comments via future reactions to the other 2 films as well as the 3 The Hobbit movies!
40:12 Chi: "Yeah you're so beautiful, help him."
Hella: "Help him. We're trusting beautiful people."😁
"so just give it back to him" LOL
An interesting fact that doesnt show well in the movie at the begining when Gandalf leaves searching for answers about the ring he is actually gone for 17 years before he returns!!!
Gimli attacking the ring shows it has no hold over him just like the Dwarvish rings out of the 16 meant to go to the elves had no hold over them. So technically they could easily be used offensively & defensively but many disappeared over the ages mainly due to Sauron collecting them back again over the last few thousand years. One or two eaten by dragons (not simple minded beasts here. They were twisted and enhanced beings by Melkor/Morgoth(Saurons Upperclassman as far as the Ainur face goes.). There were only a few of them and their offspring are lesser drakes throughout middle earth. Most recent one you’ll see in The Hobbit movie and one other most recent dragon left of the originally created dragons was Scatha, of which I don’t think Scatha even has wings or could fly in any permanent sort of way.
“Evil cannot create. Only twist and warp what is already natural to the world”
-
“Nobody Trust An Elf”
The thing is with a certain clan of dwarves: A giant set of events throughout the ages caused a huge rift between dwarves and elves since before any elf ever saw a dwarf. Elves are the firstborn. Men are the secondborn. Dwarvish forefathers were created by the hands of one of the Valar named Aulë, then essentially Eru Îlluvatar(AllFather) breathed life into them to later wake up at a later date since Aulë was still excited to create things of his very own. It’s also why dwarves overall can resist the rings power and so forth.
There were these beings became known as Petty Dwarves in the books where these beings were super hostile and the elves thought it was just another spawn of Melkor (now Morgoth) so when they finally did see actual dwarves they killed them on site. That and dwarves were keen on chopping down trees by huge amounts so you can kind of see why… but this was only the beginning. But it’s not a very good start. Buuut not all dwarvish clans share this rift as the creator of the 16 rings was an elf named Celebrimbor and is one of the best characters ever. His main smithery guild in Eregion was full of dwarves and elves called the “Gwaith Ír Mirdain”. Even Gimli’s father was really close to a certain elf I won’t name yet! ❤
Not all dwarves were enemies to elves. Galadriel and her brother were best friends with dwarves. Famously the fortress of Nargothrond was built by Finrod Felagund with the dwarves! It was only a certain clan that killed Elu Thingol! (Elwë)
Galadriel & her elder brother Finrod Felagund were best friends with the dwarves. Finrod was named Felagund by the dwarves meaning “Earth Hewer” from the fact he helped them build the great fortress called Nargothrond of which he was the elven lord that ruled there justly. Was the same for Celebrimbor and the dwarves of Eregion especially the guild called Gwaith Í Mirdain. His bestie was Narvi the dwarf. Narvi and Celebrimbor created the doors of Moria. Moria is also the elvish name for Khazad Dûm. This gift for Gimli set it into imperishable Crystal and would be the only thing left in middle earth that holds the light of the two trees of Valinor (Valanor by the Eldar). It’s basically the uncursed version of the Nauglamir. He named it The Galadramir. ❤
If you search for
'victorian hair art' then you can see what amazing things people created with hair in the past. Craftsmen as dwarfs were, I imagine that Gimli must have created something beyond exquisite!
The Shire set was built in New Zealand. I believe you can still visit it today as it has been preserved as a tourist attraction.
If I'm not mistaken the original set was eventually torn down, but they rebuilt it as an attraction.
@@liaml.e.5964 When it was rebuilt as a set for The Hobbit they also built it as a permanent attraction.
@@liaml.e.5964 Yes, I think Peter Jackson was originally very adamant that none of the sets would remain. The town near hobbitown used to be on a popular by-pass (the main highway used to pass through a lot of towns that had to go slow through). When the highway was improved, the town lost business, so hobbitown was a way to bring tourism back.
15:18 "You're not getting away with this." 🤣
You lovely ladies do not disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction, and was so happy to see you understand it and give it the recognition it deserves. The way you got so excited at certain scenes filled me with the same joy I had watching it for the first time, and now I can't wait for the next part! Keep up the good work
15:33 - I heard that they used a strong magnet to make it so the ring wouldn't bounce, so that it would seem heavy.
29:46 - The guy eating the carrot is the director of these movies.
2:57 - You all seen him as Agent Smith in the Matrix and the father in Hacksaw Ridge.
The guy who plays Saruman is Christopher Lee. He's the only person who worked on the movie who actually knew the author J.R.R. Tolkien. He wanted to play Gandalf, and I heard that the author gave him his blessing to play Gandalf, but he was too old to physically play the part at this point. So he played Saruman instead, and did an amazing job.
I don't think anyone else had the gravitas to play Saruman. If Christopher Lee was Gandalf who would have the presence to play his superior and really sell it?
Hugo weaving was also the voice of V in V for Vendetta
You girls are the first reactors I've seen that have mentioned how heavy the ring is when Bilbo drops it. It doesn't even bounce.
You can absolutely go to the Hobbit town. It's still there in New Zealand where this was filmed.
Ahhh, I've been looking forward to you watching this for months, and that was just as enjoyable as I knew it would be. Cannot wait for the next part! Love this channel, love you guys!!
'What you tryna do old man?' had me 😂
These are some of the best movies ever made. Glad to see you two watching these. Take your time and break them into as many parts as you need cause they're quite long movies lol
Once again, you Girls are a total hoot! It's fantastic being with you as you take us all on a rollicking ride through Middle Earth! 🙂
One of the best Trilogies ever made! Right up there with "Back To The Future" and "Indiana Jones"
Thank you for such an in depth reaction to this film. I've seen countless reactions to this on RUclips but yours truly stands out as one of the best!
Thank you thank you 🙏❤️🥹
When Gandalf is deep in study and finally realizes what the true meaning of the one ring is....and where is might be.....that scene is priceless.
"The sh*t is in front of him!" 😁
Adorable. 😁
The more powerful you are, the more easily the Ring can corrupt you. This is why Gandalf, Elrond, and Aragorn rejected it out of hand, because they were wise enough to know it would twist them into evil versions of themselves. Galadriel rejected it as well in the book, and she does with a struggle in this film...but all of them are wise. Hobbits like Bilbo and Frodo are weak and humble, and so they can resist the Ring's power a lot longer than others.
Which perfectly explains why Smeagol (who had absolutely zero power) was corrupted instantly. You watched but you didn't see. No, it's not power, but *desire for power* that corrupts. Hobbits have no desire for power which is why they are so resistant.
You two picked up on so many important things that a lot of first time viewers miss 💜 It was a delight watching your reaction, this is such a good movie series. Its over 20 years old!
The Shire is actually based off of Ireland and for the next part of the movie, the Secret fire is the creator of all life, the flame of Anor is the material used to make the sun and moon after Morgoth destroyed the 2 trees, and Udun's translation is underworld or hell, and this will be important to understand in the next movie
Im a Chi fan. She has a very rare beauty.
I recommend Memphis Belle.
