This is all your fault 😡
There's a beautiful line from the novels here as Sam hoists Frodo up onto his shoulders and starts to climb:
"Sam's will was set, and only death would break it"
I have that quote in elvish tattooed on my arm
I think one of the best shots in all film is the close-up on his face right after he picks up Frodo and glares at the volcano, with the fire reflected in his eyes. Which is that exact fucking moment in the book, translated and conveyed flawlessly.
Tolkien's writing (even if maybe bit TOO descriptive in places) is so great it's something similar from Prose Edda and such. A true legendary type of writing. (he did study Icelandic language and lots of the names of the dwarves and Gandalf (means "magical / staff-magic (gand sorta sometimes referring to a staff on its own but can also haw a wizardly reference like like a wand) elf)comes from there, on top of it all his nanny was apparently Icelandic also
@@Knight-Bishop bro I was literally looking for a similar comment that I recognised
That’s such a F#cking amazing line
This is why Gandalf chose Frodo to carry the Ring. Frodo got as far as anyone could, but he had the best friend who could carry him the rest of the way.
Oh, this is beautiful. This should be a quote. 👏🏽❤️🔥
Gandalf did not chose Frodo, he got Frodo to volunteer. The only member of the fellowship that was tasked and didn’t just simply volunteer was Samwise. He was the only one Gandalf had faith in to complete the mission.
Dude I ain’t gonna lie that got me choked up
@@sgnguy2027 I wish they had expanded on the council of Elrond a bit in the movies because in the books the first person to actually volunteer for the quest was Bilbo.
@@sgnguy2027 "I made a promise Mr. Frodo. Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee, and I don't mean to, I don't mean to."
Sam is the true hero of the story.
(Regarding Sam) "He is, for me, THE hero of the story. The ordinary man."
- Christopher Lee
That was Tolkien's sentiment as well.
@@eli3568 Indeed.
@@eli3568 Two great spirits with the same opinion.
Awww Saruman was not so bad afterall.
Tolkein said that Sam represented (or was based on) the sturdy, lowly British foot soldiers he knew during World War I, whom he said were always better able than the officers to keep going against hopeless odds. Tolkein was a lieutenant, BTW.
We all say we need a Sam in our lives when we never bother to think about being the Sam to others.
I'd take both. Let's all be Sams to each other
A truly noble sentiment, mellon nin...
Totally agree, I have made this comment before myself
When you try to be Sam, people just believe you have an ulterior motives. In today’s views it’s just a special kind of stupidly that in the past we simply called it loyalty.
My name is actually is Sam, so if anyone needs a Sam. Y'all can have me (has a friend, I am married)
That hobbit went from a gardener who wasn’t sure about leaving the shire to carrying Frodo up the side of a volcano, near death.
And he went from being afraid to ask a girl out to fighting a gigantic spider to save his friend.
And Sam was as tired as Frodo.
@@jackprescott9652 No. Sam was nowhere near as exhausted as Frodo. Sam was weary in body, while Frodo's very _soul_ was near extinction at this point. The only person in Middle Earth who had any inkling of what Frodo was enduring was Gollum, and even he never came near this, since he never had to fight the Ring in order to bring it to destruction.
@@Serai3 Sure. Frodo was a hero too, but lets face it, he was done at that point. Sam was the one that had to take the responsability of carrying the fate of middle earth over his shoulders (literally). And that wasn`t the only time he face evil alone while Frodo was hurt or ill.
@@eightnickel1513AND HE GOT THAT GIRL. GOAT
I was in a theater in PA, when The Return of the King first played. At the scene, when Samwise told Frodo that we would carry him, about 2/3 rds of the patrons stood, shouting and weeping.
I've never seen that reaction to any film before.
Amazing.
Sean Astin should have gotten an Oscar but we all know those things are setup anyway.
The Academy is garbage. They stopped being relevant a long time back. But we are here and we appreciate Sean's genius :)
In 2002, Chicago beat both LotR: The Two Towers and The Pianist. That and the year before when The Fellowship didn't sweep the Oscars is when I gave up on the Academy.
He has won on Oscar in my heart tbh
They only give those to entitled actors who assault the comedian host.
The mind blowing part? He never read any of the books, knows (or at least knew) none of the lore.
Do you see why everyone hated Rings of Power so much? It was a complete mockery of these masterpiece films and Tolkien's work.
I love the description in the book for this scene, after Sam says the line -- "Sam lifted Frodo with no more difficulty than if he were carrying a hobbit-child pig-a-back in some romp on the lawns or hayfields of the Shire". So heart wrenching, Sam is still thinking of being home in the Shire, like it's the only thing driving him on.
Oh my god I LOVE THAT
I also believe that's it's not referring to Frodo's physical weight as at this point the ring has become physically extremely heavy as it knows where they're trying to take it. You can even see the scars from the chain digging into Frodo's skin in the movies.
No I believe that in this moment Sam is quite literally being granted divine strength to continue on one last time. In Tolkien magic tends to come from two things time or oaths, and in this moment Sam is fulfilling what might be one of the most important oaths ever made in Middle-Earth the oath to remain by Frodo's side no matter the danger to never stray from his side and to carry him when all hope seems lost.
And I feel that's worth one more push.
@@matthewdykeman8149 I never realized about magic in Tolkien's universe, but that makes A TON of sense. I knew about the ring getting extremely heavy the closer to Mount Doom it got, but always wondered about how he could carry him that easily
@@faanvugeincynicalassassin There's a reason why it's the greatest fantasy story ever told. I would recommend watching stuff on the magic of oaths. The most famous ones are the story of the King of the Dead, the Oath of Feanor, and course the story of Beren and Luthien. Boromirs story might also be a story about the magic of oaths but that one is more vague and is mostly conjecture on my part. But yeah once you start noticing you can see Tolkiens belief in the power of a promise all throughout the stories of Middle-Earth.
One of the most powerful scenes in cinematic history imho.
In a making of video on the LOTR extended edition Elijah and/or Sean said that even Peter Jackson got very emotional during the making of this scene. After the "cut" his glasses had fogged up and he thanked the two actors with a breaking voice.
I think that says a lot about the emotional content and importance of this scene in the movie and how good Sean's and Elijah's performances were.
There are moments in movie history that can not be recreated but are powerful no matter how many times you see it. This is one of those scenes. As much as I liked the hobbit films, non of them had a scene like this.
Sean also said that he wasn't that happy with PJ's choice for the audio. He said he felt the quieter renditions had more power, but it's not his movie, so...
I mean, I can't blame him. Both Sean and Elijah are just fucking stellar in this last stretch of the trilogy. I don't know how many times I've watched it at this point, I know most of the movies by heart, and they still get me. This being one my top 3 scenes in the whole trilogy, I always think I'm prepared. I just did my annual re-watch and I was fine through the "I can't carry it for you"... but then that "COME ON" just fucking broke me. I can't get past that without breaking, ever. The sheer, raw willpower in those two words. It's just too good. Samwise, you beautiful gentle beast, you.
And just wanna add to that (because I'm full on LOTR mode rn and need to talk about it somewhere), one underrated moment (imo) is right before this scene, the last real push Frodo makes towards the volcano before he finally passes out and Sam has to carry him. Mfer literally crawls through the slopes of Mt Doom with a haunting version of the Shire theme in the background, and Elijah's performance is brilliant. He's basically at death's door and still tries to push forward one last time, literally grabbing the dirt and rocks to pull himself upwards, and you can see how the ring physically pulls him down. This whole sequence is just fucking magical.
Sam is THE hero. The heart and balls on this guy. What a fine lad
Actually Tolkien said that he realized while writing the books that Frodo was the protagonist but Sam was the hero of the story.
@@AntiqueKnife. I mean, it's true. Frodo may be the protagonist, but he gets carried by the rest of the team for nearly the whole time, to the point where he's literally being carried in this scene.
@@Ben_Kimber Its true, but don't let that discount what Frodo is fighting.
Frodo, constantly, every hour, of every day, has Sauron himself in his ears, the ring whispers, saps his physical strength, makes him paranoid, makes him exhausted, taunts him, torments him, and grinds down on his very will to live. You can see the scar around his neck from where it was literally becoming so heavy the chain dug into his skin, it makes his body hurt, his bones ache, his mind clouded with anxieties and fears, and yet he carried on, quiet and resolute. Only rarely do we see the internal battle between Frodo and the ring, but just know that each and every step his feet took toward the ring's destruction was a brutal battle for him. the ring cracked everyone, and I mean Everyone else. Even Sam struggled having if for only a short time.
@@sangralknight3031 That is true.
@@Ben_KimberBut to Frodo’s credit he has been holding onto the ring for over a year where nearly everyone else, save for Bilbo, would be corrupted. As Galadriel said.
The most beautiful moment in the entire trilogy. Thanks, Sam (and Sean) for making us all cry over and over again.
Tied with, my friends, you bow to no one
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have watched LotR well over 100xs, and I still cannot watch this moment without crying...
YOu, sir, are a man of virtue.
As one does
me too, just saw the trilogy againg because I felt like I needed a distraction after a small inconvenience with a hurricane in my city Acapulco and that scene literally made me cry like a 9-year-old child... it will always be a powerful scene and dialogue.
Sam is representative of all the batmen, of all the senior NCO's who took care of their aristocratic officers in the british army during WW1. The thousands upon thousands who lie in no mans land- faithful until death.
Sam carries this spirit, in an admittedly fantasy world, to the world at large through Tolkien and later Jackson's films.
Never forget.
Yes. That is exactly right.
@@ffa4181all humans are evil within. That is why the ring of power corrupts them so easily. So whether are a human from the US, UK, China, JP, India, Iran, Colombia, Himalayans, the sentinel island. Or the millennial falcon. You are still corrupt and foul.
"I can't throw it in for you, but I can throw you!" :D
😁
Lol
quote by golem
Other members of the fellowship "What happened to Frodo" Sam "He tripped and fell, there was nothing I could do"
😂💀💀💀
I watched this movie at the cinema. in this scene everyone screamed and applauded then we started crying.
I like to think that whenever Sean Astin & his wife are in the supermarket car park, and she asks him to put the bag of groceries in the car, he says: "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" (Hopefully Gollum doesn't jump out on them while they're unlocking the boot/trunk!)
This made me laugh harder than I should've🤣
At the end of the fellowship Frodo says 'Im glad you are with me Samwise Gambgee' but at the end of the RoTK Frodo says 'Im glad im with you at the end of all things'
I think that shows Sams development throughout the trilogy and its beautiful.
Good point. I didn't notice that.
And I'll reciprocate with what Pippin said to Merry when he found him lying wounded on the Pelennor Fields: "No. I'm going to look after you." He, too, had grown up and was repaying Merry for all the times he had gotten them both out of scrapes.
The true hero of the story was the one who didn’t want to go . Who never left the shire
Who was too afraid to even talk to Rosie Cotton let alone go out on a date with her . The hobbit who left a boy and returned a hero ! The hero of lord of the rings . Samwise .
It's funny, I was just reading a couple comments about how the ring did try to tempt Sam and all it could come up with was that he'd be able to make the most beautiful gardens... So to me that meant that even if he was too afraid to talk to Rosie at the start, by the time they're in Mordor he'd become confident enough where that was as good as a done deal, because it didn't try to tempt him with her or anyone else. The guy had literally no greater desire than to go back home and just be even better at his job. 😂
Samwise Gamgee, Fellowship of the Ring MVP!
@@Knight-Bishop A similar idea is played for comedy on _Red Dwarf_ . Three of the characters are trapped in a virtual reality simulator that gives them all their deepest desires, so they are unwilling to leave. The menial android Kryten enters it to save them. What did the VR offer him? A new squeegee mop.
Well said!
I've read the book and seen the movies several times and I'm just now grasping that though Sam surely cares about his other friends, the Shire and Middle Earth, his singular motivation is saving Frodo from the ring. I'm a strong believer in love, and love in the form of friendship is arguably the strongest force on earth.
"You've left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam."
The music in this scene.
There are moments in movie history that can not be recreated but are powerful no matter how many times you see it. This is one of those scenes. As much as I liked the hobbit films, non of them had a scene like this.
And when you realize Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme in WW1 practically immediately after joining and he is basically recounting how his fellow soldiers acted (2 of his close friends were killed in the battle).
Sam to me will always be the true hero of the trilogy
I would watch about 20 minutes of these.
I like how commonly accepted it is that Sam is the real hero of the story. The only one who never falters.
Every member of the fellowship is the _real_ hero of the story.
Re-watch the scene in RoTK where Gandalf the White is reunited with the Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. At this time the hour is dark and the need is dire. Boromir has fallen, Merry and Pippin have been captured (fate still yet unknown) and Frodo split off to carry the ring alone into Mordor. The concern on Gandalf's face and in his voice is telling... BUT THEN... Aragorn corrects him, with regards to Frodo. "not alone... Sam is with him." Gandalf turns slightly and his countenance is changed, his eyes vibrant with hope in victory and his tone, as he smiles, says it all... "good."
That moment in which you see as an act of genuine friendship represents in the best way the power of good that exists in the world and that is that power we all have, simply few get to show it.
For me it's the music. It's the Grey Havens Theme that we hear when Gandalf tells Pippin about what happens after death, but instead of being sad, it's triumphant. They are willing to die to achieve victory here. This theme plays again when Frodo leaves Middle Earth. And the lyrics come int the credits and relate to us the words of Gandalf earlier in the movie, as well as the words from the book at the departure.
"Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went aboard; and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost. And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise."
To me the theme is transcending death, evoking victory or peace in overcoming death and life beyond death. So when Sam picks up Frodo on the brink of darkness and carries him the rest of the way, it is Sam's love for Frodo compelling him to pick him up and carry him to a victory. That idea gets me, because when I'm struggling with sin or burdened by darkness, I know Jesus lovingly carries my burdens for me, won victory over death, and bids me to cast aside any burden of evil that weighs me down.
Finally a decent explanation for the song choice, I always wondered
Samwise Gamgee is undoubtedly the MVP of the Fellowship of the Ring and one of if not THE best characters in "The Lord of the Rings"...if not ALL of created fiction! Loyal to a T no matter what! May we all strive to be like him! This scene should have gotten Sean Astin a nomination at the very least for Best Supporting Actor at the 2004 Oscars if not a hands down WIN and given ROTK a 12th statue to give it the record for most Oscars ever awarded to a film in cinematic history! 2004 was arguably the last hurrah for the relevancy of the Academy Awards, "The Lord of the Rings" is arguably the best literary work ever composed besides the Bible and its film adaptation is the best adaptation ever made and one of the best films of all time!
Eli has two
Let's face it, Sam is the true hero. Without him, Frodo wouldn't have made it this far.
Sam is the true hero of the story. Even Tolkien stated as much about what and who Sam is. He is based on the every day man, an enlisted soldier infact, an officers aid that Tolkien himself knew. The officers are always credited with the victory, but it was those normal men who fought, sacrificed, and struggled for it.
I've read them all: from Gilgamesh to Hercules to Sun Wukong to Arthur to Superman. There is no more heroic hero in all of human fiction than Sam the Hobbit.
He'd be dead at shelob lol, or way before when sailing off on his own
people still don't understand. frodo wasn't the hero of this saga. samwise gamgee was! HE'S the one who never quit. HE'S the one who recognized gollum's deviousness and lies. he's the one who saved frodo from the silly spider. HE'S the one that got the ring to the mountain. this a story about the perseverance and sacrifices of the "commoner." the regular joe. not the elite, the rulers, the religious leaders. ITS ABOUT US! the people who actually work and make the world function but recieve NO accolades, placques, statues, praise or credit. humanity is full of unsuing heros who take a historical backseat to all the rich people who actually make life WORSE for everyone else.
other than all the elf nude scenes this is my favorite part of the whole film.
Correct, i always saw Sam as the ultimate hero.
This is yet another reason why Sam is my favourite.
The Grey Havens theme with this scene makes it all the more powerful and beautiful 🥹
Our boy went from being the one who hesitated leaving the Shire…to being the one who saved the quest and who saved Frodo.
This scene wouldn't be as emotional without Howard Shore's brilliant score hitting us in the feels just at the right moment, he really knocked it out of the park there 😭😭
If you can make Your own director cry because of a Scene then you Know you Made it perfect😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
sam is not just a man, he's a brother. this is what Jesus said about a man's neighbour. amen. this is a hero. every man on earth should be like sam
Samwise the Brave, my favorite LOTR character.
The truest of friends can’t solve all of your problems for you, but they can support, and carry you through them when you lack the strength to carry on, on your own.
Nice compilation. Nice little throwback of clips from my favorite reactor channels. Excellent picks!
I've heard it said so many times that, "Everyone needs s Sam." But I think the better thing to say is "Everyone should try to BE a Sam." We'd soar as a species if we could do that lol.
i normally make fun of people who cry during movies, but man the LOTR movies just hit ya straight in the gut with the feels
There's this two panel meme. The first panel is a shot of the full Fellowship with all 9 dudes and the caption is "The Fellowship at 100% strength", and the second panel is the same shot with everyone but Sam edited out, and the caption is "The Fellowship at 99% strength".
Another compilation gem!
what i find it most amazing in this scene, is that it speaks to me as someone who has depression... and someone who has friends who have depression... we cannot carry the depression for the ones we love, but we can carry them if we have to.
Suilaid, mellon nin...
I have taken the time to watch about half of the people you have shown here; I shall find the others presently.
It cheers me to see the next generation view these motion pictures with the same delight as I. They perhaps will take the time to read the books, and realize exactly why people such as you and I are devoted to The Professor's works.
Oh and incidentally, you earned another subscriber this day...
If this scene doesn’t just about kill you, you aren’t human. The girl who’s only reaction was “oh, that’s a good plan!” must be a robot.
Chief hero of the story - JRR Tolkien on Sam
This scene turns us all into blubbering babbies that need a hug
Sam a simple gardener but yet had a will of stone . Would walk through fire for his friend, attacked and bested shelob, entered the morgul tower to rescue frodo and carried him up a mountain. A total beast.
I heard somewhere that this moment was inspired by the heroism of the soldiers Tolkien fought with in the trenches during World War I. They might not have known but their heroism would someday be indirectly celebrated by these RUclipsrs.
Everyone should have a friend like Sam.
We all wish we had someone who can carry us in times when we are weighed down by our problems. Sam was that person for Frodo.
"As Frodo clung upon his back, arms loosely about his neck, legs clasped firmly under his arms, Sam staggered to his feet; and then to his amazement he felt the burden light. He had feared that he would have barely strength to lift his master... and... the dreadful dragging weight of the accursed Ring. But it was not so. Whether because Frodo was so worn by his long pains..., or because some gift of final strength was given to him, Sam lifted Frodo with no more difficulty than if he were carrying a hobbit-child pig-a-back in some romp on the lawns or the hayfields of the Shire."
I've never looked at this moment the same way ever since I read a message from my closest friend of years ago in which she used the quote, knowing that she had a sister afflicted with a progressively more severe health condition. When I saw them together you wouldn't know it from the way they talked to each other, the love and joy in each other's company was palpable. Just knowing that she was selflessly duty bound to help her sister go on and carry the burden of this disease, and associating it with Sam's complete devotion and faith, has lent it a poignancy that has stayed with me ever since.
If you love someone who's dealing with something, you might not be able to carry that for them, but you can carry them. Be like Sam!
One of the most memorable scenes amongst many, many memorable scenes in a film trilogy yhe has ever been produced. This scene still gives me chills and I have watched the movie many times.
Magic Magy with elf ears at 0:21 is freaking adorable. Even if her cry sounded like a mule. lol
I've always wanted to say this:
The Lord of the Rings is the most underrated series EVER
Yeah it should be the biggest franchise really.
It ain't underrated,it is rightly regarded as one of/if not the greatest trilogy/movies/franchise of all time.
@@mktf5582 by some people. There are people that will argue that other movies are deserving of the same praise. Those people make it underrated because it should be universally considered the greatest franchise of all time.
@@ogbee9690 well for many/countless in fact,your last sentence they absolutely agree with,LOTR is the greatest of all time.
Dude, come on now, it's not even close of being underrated.
Sam took on and beat Shelob queen of the spiders and carried Frodo up to a volcanic mountain. Sam is the true hero… Samwise The Brave indeed
Can't believe I saw this 20+ years ago
“You carry madam Frodo up the mountain, and sing while I drink, so I can get strong too!”
Sean Astin was simply brilliant as Sam. Sam is one of the best characters ever written.
I watch literally all of these reactors now
"Sam's will was set, and only death would break it"
Just what I needed to restore my faith in humanity, seeing that the young generation hasn't lost it's appreciation of art. Thank you very much ladies, I needed that.
Bruh, everytime i hear it i get goosebumbs, everytime
Everyone deserves a Sam. ❤️
I like how they're all having a pretty typical reaction of crying at one of the best scenes and Mary Cherry is just "you beautiful son of a bitch"
I finally read the books after having only seen the movies many times. And I dont care what the die hard Tolkien fans say, Peter Jackson and all involved did the best job they could making magic and iconic moments like this happen, yes they changed things in the story, but thats what an adaptation is supposed to do, can't have every single thing done as in the books, and honestly I still love the movies and still think theyre near perfection, I also got to love the books, no need to compare, the original material by Tolkien is amazing and beautiful, and Peter Jackson's adaptation is also amazing and beautiful
Sam carried the ring and even wore it twice (in the book) but, though perhaps very briefly tempted, his plain hobbit sense told him to forsake its power, and when the time came he freely gave the ring back to Frodo. Only Bombadil was totally unaffected by the ring.
iirc, when the Ring tried to tempt Sam, it ended up being something like giving him the power to make really beautiful gardens - which tells a lot about Sam and why he's so powerful when they are in Mordor
@@ThanesTito One Ring: **Tempts**
Samwise Gamgee: **Literally has no want in life that he feels he can't already get for himself other than perhaps becoming supernaturally good at his job back home. [Insert sigma male/gigachad meme format]**
@@Knight-Bishop I read again the passage after watching this video, the One Ring did, in fact, try to tempt Sam with promises of him becoming a great warrior and king, and Sam reacted with more of a "huh....... well, that's dumb", then later the Ring tried the "well, what about gardens?"
@@ThanesTito I just love the humor of a nearly all-powerful sentient ring with the ability to poisonously and convincingly tempt anyone with their greatest desires being stumped by a gardener that is just really passionate about his work.
@@Knight-Bishop while I agree with the sentiment, I got the feeling that the whole thing about the ring not finding purchase to truly tempt sam comes from sam being loyal to a fault to frodo, and really understanding he's not *supposed* to be a hero (even tho the 4 hobbits are the bravest and most important heroes of the fellowship)
2.22 Mary Cherry: Oh that's a good plan"! Love it X
Chills. Every damn time
I love this scene but my fave scene in the movie is when they fall over on the slope a few moments before this. I mean this whole scene is great but I'm specifically talking about when Frodo looks up and the shire music starts to play but can't quite come out normally and strong. The music is trying but trailing off and he's literally clawing the dirt, pulling himself up the mountain, trying with all his might.
Obviously combining that with "I don't recall the..." and "I can carry you" moments makes it better but it broke me on my first watch when the music fails and he's trying to climb
"In the end, the world didn't need a hero... Just a brave man.
~ Superman the animated series~
This is why this is the best film ever so much emotion after all these years sam is the best frodo would have not got far without sam
I cried like a baby watching this in theaters lol
The Wagnerian music sure helped the scene
Tolkein said that he based Sam's character on the lowly privates and personal servants of the officers in World War I, when Tolkein was a lieutenant but he said it was the lower-ranking troops who were best able to carry on despite the meatgrinder casualty rates and horrors of trench warfare.
Me watching this line five times in these reactions after seeing the movie about a thousand times: still 😭😭😭
Nothing is more cathartic than watching a bunch of people cry on a scene that you balled at as well haha
May we all aspire to be as great a friend to others as Sam is to Frodo
That’s why they are so loved...and the books and why amazon’s rings of power is wrong.
Of course, it's almost impossible for the series to ever come close to these great masterpieces. So I guess you didn't like the first The Rings of Power trailer? :D
@@ashonmytomatoes9140 wait! Did someone actually liked The Rings of Power trailer? :O
Oh you can see the future? Please tell me how you already know what the show will be like!
You wouldn't just belying to confirm your bias, would you?
@@tilltronje1623 They make a story tolkein never wrote.
Tolkein wrote great story.
That mean Amazon prime absolutely not write great stroy, The only option for them is sh*t story.
@@regiszeitlos970 you mean like Peter Jackson did?
No wonder why Sam had some struggle carrying Frodo, considering the _giant balls of steel_ he was carrying already.
My favorite experience in the cinema!
Some many don't understand so here it goes Frodo has been damaged by the Nazgul blade and the constant close proximity of the ring which has magical damaged his soul....because of this the elves allowed him on the last boat the undying lands (Heaven)...so Frodo gets a one way ticket as a mortal to heaven without dying as a prize for all his hard work.
I did a paper on this in university.
Sam was the only Hobbit to fight alone, and when the Ring became too heavy for Frodo, Sam carries the weight of both Frodo and the Ring.
Sam was also entirely resilient to the effects of the Ring, which tempted people based on their desires. Sam's only desire was a modest life, so the Ring had nothing to offer him.
He was always the hero of the story.
Samwise the brave!!! Frodo indeed wouldn't have gotten far without Sam.
Sam is the friend we all need, but don't deserve
This is probably my favourite movie moment ever
Thats a powerful scene, it still gets me after all this time.
out of all the heroes that fought, and some died, to propel these fantastic fantasy stories of Tolkien's, and the actors that brought those characters to life in this series, Sean Astin had the best part out of all of them!
Sam is the common everyday man. You don't notice him, until you need him, but he's always there. You go Sam's of the world.
Just imaging the movie theatre in 2004 wow! Amazing
Heroism comes in all shapes and sizes.
When you finally realize the difference between being the protagonist and the hero of the story, Frodo is the protagonist but Sam is the hero, which is why Tolkien said he gave Sam the happiest ending
I'm a 30 year old man, I have watched these movies THOUSANDS of times, and I tear up every time at this scene. EVERY. TIME.
Quite justly, the Oscars were awarded eleven Return of the Kings this year.
Funny thought came to my mind when watching this......
Gollum/Smeagle kept calling Sam "stupid fat hobbit". But here in this moment, Sam quoted the movie "Paul" saying "IT'S NOT FAT, IT'S POWER!!!"
Sam is the best friend in movie history!
