A note about moria: Dwarves have long lives and are so hyperfocused on their crafts that its not uncommon for a whole city to be working on something super legit, and lose contact with the outside for like 20+ years at a time, and no other dwarven settlements are worried, because thats just how dwarves be doin.
I believe that the LOTR movies failed to do Frodo justice. In the movies, when Frodo encounters the Nazgul, he flings his sword to the ground and cowers in terror. In contrast, Frodo tries to fight back in the book version despite being terrified and even succeeds in stabbing the Witch-King in the foot.
"...The third was taller than the others: his hair was long and gleaming and on his helm was a crown. In one hand he held a long sword, and in the other a knife; both the knife and the hand that held it glowed with a pale light. He sprang forward and bore down on Frodo.
At that moment Frodo threw himself forward on the ground, and he heard himself crying aloud: O Elbereth! Gilthoniel! At the same time he struck at the feet of his enemy. A shrill cry rang out in the night; and he felt a pain like a dart of poisoned ice pierce his left shoulder."
~The Fellowship of the Ring, Book I, Chapter 11, A Knife in the Dark
Moria: Once more, Frodo is only running or hiding in the movie. But he fights in the books.
"Suddenly, and to his own surprise, Frodo felt a hot wrath blaze up in his heart. ‘The Shire!’ he cried, and springing beside Boromir, he stooped, and stabbed with Sting at the hideous foot. There was a bellow, and the foot jerked back, nearly wrenching Sting from Frodo’s arm. Black drops dripped from the blade and smoked on the floor. Boromir hurled himself against the door and slammed it again.
‘One for the Shire!’ cried Aragorn. ‘The hobbit’s bite is deep! You have a good blade, Frodo son of Drogo!’"
~The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, Chapter 5, THE BRIDGE OF KHAZAD-DÛM
Hey. Hope you enjoyed the movie. The movie that inspired all other movies and games ahead of time for the last 25 years. And Tolkiens many books did the same for the last century. ❤
Was beautiful to see a strong powerful man like yourself embrace your tears rather than edit them out or trying to stop them flowing. Real men embrace their emotions and can't wait to see what these films elicit from you as they continue on. Really looking forward to your insight and take on the future films.
"Everybody needs a friend like Sam." - So true.
Sam the BEST
i heard someone else say "everyone should be a sam."
if everyone was a sam we would live in a perfect world
@@DarthChosen came here to say exactly that lol
@DarthChosen YES. If you can't find a Sam, be a Sam. 💜
@@DevinGtv901everyone needs to BE a Sam. Nobody is until someone steps up.
One of my favorite quotes:
Frodo: I'm going to Mordor alone.
Sam: Of course you are, and I'm coming with you.
Mannnn! That quote alone will make you cry
@@DevinGtv901everybody needs a ride or die sam in their life
You can't swim
underrated fo shoo
Quick facts:
- Aragorn is not Isildors son but he is a decendent of his line of heritage. It has been about 3000 years since Isildor died.
- It wasn't Frodo's fault that the Urukai orcs found them. They had been on their trail for a while. It was bound to happen.
- At 32:25 when the lead orc threw the knife at Aragorn, it was a real knife and the stuntman misthrew it and it was only Viggo Mortgenson's (Aragorn) reflexes that was able to have him deflect it with his sword and keep him from getting seriously injured
- Frodo may not be a great fighter but he has heart in a different way. That's how he can carry the ring and not easily corrupted by it. I'll guarantee you that he's going to piss you off many more times in the next two movies. Just remember the toll that the ring is taking on him. The times he put the ring on (other than the first time in the tavern which was a mistake) he felt that he had no other way out.
You are ABSOLUTELY RIght!! Froddo had me furious. Ive already watched all 3 on Patreon and OMG beautiful trilogy
@@DevinGtv901 Yes, and yet the quest would have failed without him.
For some reason I think the knife incident was that the prop knife did not get switched in for the real knife. But I could be wrong.
@@DevinGtv901you're a little too harsh on Frodo
@@adamneuert9278
If I remember the behind the scene xtras on the DVD's, it was caused by the fact the prosthetics that Lurtz was wearing severely restricted his vision & during the fight
(Viggo Mortensen was known to SERIOUSLY go full tilt) it got even more messed up w/the head butt to the point of obscuring his vision completely.
People who don't shed a single tear during this entire trilogy are very suspect to me. I am glad to say that you, sir, are indeed a human being.
Hobbits have a resistance to the ring because in general they do not desire power, but they are not immune to it. Like at the beginning they show all hobbits want to do is eat, drink, and chill. Frodo goes off by himself because he knows he can't trust everyone due to the rings influence and also he feels like he is causing them strife by letting them be around it and doesnt want to burden them as well.
Exactly, the ring seems to find a persons wants/needs and fears and turn it up to terrible levels. Also, Sauron didn't make any rings for the squirrels, rabbits or bears because they have no power for him to control, I think it was for the same reasons he didn't make rings for the Hobbits. I doubt he considered them at all while forging any of the rings; his hatred for man, elf and dwarf blinding him to all else. For it's purpose, The One Ring is ill-suited to Hobbits. Sauron's dismissal of the powerless ends up being his downfall. That's how I like to interpret it anyway.
Yep. It also seems to make a difference how the person comes into possession of the ring too, tho. Note that Bilbo spared Gollum's life in the cave when he found it and aside from some greed/dishonesty (Bilbo lies about how he got the ring at first) it doesn't affect him much for the next 60 years.
People overlook Merry and Pippen had so much heart, fighting with boromir for their lives…for two little hobbits. And to many more
I definitely agree! What I loved was that they all played a vital role is saving middle earth
Good to see you cry, big man. Seriously. It doesn't mean you're weak -- it's the opposite -- you're stronger for it.
A comment that has resonated with me is: “everyone needs a Sam in their life, but no one has asked: how can I be a Sam in someone’s life?”
Because everyone is the hero of their own story
THIS
FOR MY BOY DEVIN G (context for ya, no spoiler)The ring will eventually start corrupting everyone around him, the longer they all stayed together. Thats why Frodo had to leave, and go at it alone, he didnt want to, but he realized he has to, especially because the Men are easily corrupted, with Boromir tensions were rising. It would eventually happen to everyone around Frodo. Maybe not the hobbit’s right away. Hobbits are more of pure heart, thats why they arent easily corrupted by the ring like everyone else. As Frodo looking weak and annoying, understandable, hes not that annoying in the books. BUT u gotta keep in mind the ring is slowly corrupting him, and feeling heavier to carry, its good Sam is with him to make sure hes okay. It really is a burden. The temptation from the ring is ridiculous. Also had they all stayed together, eventually they would all fight over the ring, causing more times it being worn…further endangering the quest.
Hold on tight, EACH MOVIE IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER, I suggest watching with subtitles because they pronounce some crazy names and words 👍👍👍👍
The Orcs finding them at the end was not Frodo's fault. The Orcs were already tracking them and almost on them anyway. The Orcs can't feel the presence of the Ring either.
Thanks for dropping this so soon and not making us wait bro 🎉
Legit. Remember waiting a year for the original releases? LOL
Absolutely fam!! Thanks for tuning in
Sam is the MF’in real one. He’s the hero. Such a great trilogy. Thanks for reacting to it. Thumbs up everyone! 👍
Sam is the TRUTH!
Sam really is the hero of the story. The line "Yet hope remains while company is true" while the camera pans over to Sam is some big foreshadowing.
@@oneandy2if Sam were to carry the ring, he wouldn’t need Frodo. But Frodo would have died like 4 times in the first movie without Sam.
"Run you fools!" Doesn't matter how many times I hear that line. It always hits like a sledgehammer to the gut. And also RIP Boromir, honorable to the end.
Does he not say, "𝘍𝘭𝘺, you fools!"?
@EC-dz3fb I swore I saw it in a subtitles a long time ago. I could be wrong, I got old stoner brain now.
@@EC-dz3fb It means the same thing.
Fly you fools
Sean Astin should have won an Oscar for the best supporting actor, for the first, but for sure, for his acting in the third part. It was the best acting in the decade
I think he got snubbed for sure but you can't argue with Ian McKellan being nominated. He deserved it.
The best movie trilogy of all time, very much appreciate your reaction man! I don’t even know what to say to people who don’t love this series, and if you can make it through a single movie without shedding a tear I don’t trust em 😂
You cold blood if you dont cry watching these 😂
@@DevinGtv901 For real man! everyone I know, myself included, always cry watching these films no matter how many times we see em
@DevinGtv901 I cry watching you cry. These movies are super touching. Since u already watched all 3, I just gotta say "My friends, you bow to no one" 😢
I watch these once a year, every year since they came out and I still cry.
A very important point that does not spoil anything at all but hopefully gives an easier perspective:
Sam absolutely deserves ALL the praise he gets. One thing that is sometimes hard to pick up in the films though is what exactly Frodo is going through, so as you continue this journey remember:
-Frodo was stabbed by a Morgul blade, which will never fully heal and will always bother him
-The Ring bears both a mental AND physicsl weight. It is getting physically heavier and weighing him down.
-The mental strain is that of Sauron, who is essentially a Fallen Angel of one of the highest orders. He is far more powerful than Gandalf or the Balrog (fire demon). Every time Frodo slips on the Ring, it's easy to think it is weakness, but every literal second he does NOT put on the Ring, is actually a testament to his mental fortitude and strength.
-Remember these as he no doubt makes some questionable decisions. Gollum was fully corrupted, Gandalf was afraid to touch it, Boromir fell to it despite being such a good man, Galadriel struggled, and Aragorn struggled to resist jt.
Frodo truly is one of the strongest members of the Fellowship because of his heart and mind.
Plus the ring grows ever stronger the closer it comes to the place it was created.
This! People don’t seem to understand the psychological burden Frodo carries on the quest. Basically because it isn’t spelled out and signposted for them. It genuinely irks me.
This movie is pretty epic... until you see the next two!
Already watched them on Patreon. They are EPIC!!
Frodo in these movies is fighting the tough fight of the mental aspect of fighting evil with, while everyone else fights like a warrior.
Fighting the spiritual aspect, too, since the Ring is spiritually corrosive, 24/7.
Galadriel's gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. She is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. (Essentially the land that be untouched by Morgoth and where the holy ones still yet reside.)
Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun&moon, (only the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower & fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor when he struck them with his Lance and Ungoliant the primordial Eldrich Terror vampirized the life force of the two trees. Ungoliant she was named by the Eldar/Elves).
It is said that Galadriel's hair had enmeshed some of the shine and power of those two trees within her tresses. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people after his father Finwë was slain by Morgoth(Formally known as Melkor).
Fëanor arguably was their greatest craftsman and warrior to ever live, asked if she could give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair.
Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, and other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them.
That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation.
it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien.
The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in.
The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created.
At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Ñoldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light.
Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version.
But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king (great uncle) over 10,000 thousand years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol.)
I remember seeing this in theaters. Those were the days.
Life was good
You mean last week?
SO what you may have missed is that he came to the conclusion that eventually that ring would corrupt the fellowship and someone would have tried to take the ring from him. To save them and the world he needed to go the rest of the way alone. However the hobbits are the only ones who hadn't tried to take the ring. Therefore he allowed Sam to come along because of that plus he couldn't bare doing it all alone.
The Carahdras Battle is so telling of what they mean to the Universe itself able to influence the spirit of a Mountain with words.
I think alot of people get mad about frodo always running and stuff. But people forget Hobbit are a peaceful people. I don't think they even have weapons.
The music that plays when Gandalf falls is the sound a heart makes when it’s breaking.
Edit: It’s not just that Frodo doesn’t trust the Fellowship. He’s trying to protect them from the Ring.
Remember, the rings trying to be found. And even Gandalf didnt want it. So frodo putting it on is the rings way of tempting frodo.
You don't have to wait for The Two Towers. You can bring it up any time you want to. Back when these movies were released, though, we die-hard Tolkien fans had to wait a full year (to the day) for the next movie.
Don't wait.
37:09 Real punch
37:14 Real headbutt
37:23 REAL KNIFE
I don't remember if that was the fight scene were Viggo broke a tooth. He finished filming the scene before Peter Jackson had him flown by helicopter to his own dentist to fix it.
@@rikk319 if I remember right that happened while filming Helm's Deep. he was like "just get some superglue, we'll just stick it back on and keep going" but they got him emergency dental work. evidently he went in costume with all the blood and dirt still on him because he wanted continuity to be right and was back on set within like 30 minutes lol :P
Frodo puts on the ring because the ring wants to be found. No one is safe from the ring's power but Frodo is the most capable of bearing the burden. I hope that makes sense.
Aragorn is a hero. Sam is the hero. Sam is a nobody, but he has heart and will do anything for his friends.
Dang it dude, you just have an awesome beard. 'nuff said. 8-)
I watched part 1 yesterday, and yeah, just awesome man. Keep up the great work. gonna watch this RIGHT NOW!
Thank you bro!
His beard is S tier ain't it tho!
Grumpy old man and his dog here. Thank you for your reaction. I am enjoying the ride. Its like rewatching with a friend. I wish you and yours all the best. Cheers!
I have never seen a rewatch that felt so original. Man, i thoroughly enjoyed it. And when you couldn't control the tears...
It's not being evil that attract you to the Ring, it's ambition/desire/motivation. The bigger they are the harder it will be to resist. Boromir want to protect Gondor from Sauron and use the Ring for it. Gandalf would use it's power to help everyone. But what does a hobbit want?
Smoking weed, eat, drink, take it easy. Nothing for The Ring to get a grip on.
Love all your reactions. You gotta remember back to when we first meet Frodo. He's sitting under a tree, reading a book. This young hobbit is not a fighter. Yet he keeps pushing forward one step at a time, despite everything around him (and inside him because of the ring) telling him he should give up. Sam is undoubtedly the number one hero of this story, but frodo consistently does what must be done to literally save the world.
this is the greatest movie ever made. i was 17 when i saw this in the theater. i'll be 40 in a couple weeks and this has been my favorite movie to this day. I'm so glad to see you enjoying it.
Frodo is the strongest of the fellowship his strength is measured in a different way.
Dude, I cannot wait until we get to the two towers and the battle of Helm's deep! One of the best battles ever put to screen!
The elvish songs of lamentation were for Gandalf when they arrived in Lothlórien. So the song you hear is literally for him whilst being a theme for the movie itself. The only excerpt from these songs is "Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey!"
This was expanded & set to music by Philippa Boyens & Howard Shore, respectively, for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
It was sung in the said film by Elizabeth Fraser in the track Lothlórien. Notable about this song is that it assumes that the elves of Lothlórien were aware that Gandalf was an incarnate Maia. This is debatable. As well, the lyrics ask "What drove you to leave/That which you loved?". This suggests that Gandalf was well aware that he would fall in Moria.
Other debatable verses include the claims that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar, and that with him the Flame of Anor would leave the world (assuming that it and he were one, or he was the only wielder of the Flame).
(English comes after the Quenya)
* The first part is in Quenya:
A Olórin i yáresse
Mentaner i Númenherui
Tírien i Rómenóri
Maiaron i Oiosaila
Manan elye etevanne
Nórie i melanelye?
- The Second part is in Sindarin:
Mithrandir, Mithrandir, A Randir Vithren
ú-reniathach i amar galen
I reniad lín ne mór, nuithannen
In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen
I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen
Caled veleg, ethuiannen.
* Olórin, who once was...
Sent by the Lords of the West
To guard the lands of the East
Wisest of all Maiar
What drove you to leave
That which you loved?
Mithrandir, Mithrandir O Pilgrim Grey
No more will you wander the green fields of this earth
Your journey has ended in darkness.
The bonds cut, the spirit broken
The Flame of Anor has left this World
A great light, extinguished.
And Since Gandalf is tied to the story and fate of the elves as he is one of the Maiar spirits is that when one perishes it tends to be a big deal when something like one “dies” if you will. Spending thousands of years together even in his current embodiment is still greatly impactful upon his death.
It’s not that elves aren’t supposed to be with men it’s just that elves are immortal so he would grow old and die and she will never age and have to watch him die.
Lets gooo! Devin please get these out asap! Love the channel and i know youll LOVE these films, the greatest movies EVER made! Enjoy brother 🔥
Man best trilogy of all time cant wait till u watch the sequels again lol i remember seeing ur reaction to them on ur old channel i guess u must have forgotten about them thats ok still goated
Galadriel told Frodo that the task was appointed to him and him alone. She warned him that one by one the others would fall into darkness. This could be missed on a first watch.
After his encounter with Boromir proving her point, he did as she said and distanced himself from the rest of the fellowship, to protect them, not to run away. My interpretation was he knew he had to but was terrified of leaving until Gandalfs words gave him resolve.
Frodo showed courage by accepting the position and responsibility he had found himself with.
Probably the geekiest comment I've ever written but felt the need to lay this out there.
Great reaction!
Frodo realises that the ring would eventually take hold of everyone in the party, the will of sauron is far greater than that of anyone there.
Fun fact: Actor Sean Bean has a severe fear of flying and that was quite a problem during the filming of Lord of the Rings. Scenes were regularly shot in isolated places. The actors and crew were brought by helicopter, but our Boromir was not seen. When the time came again, he would start a walking tour to the filming location hours in advance and already wearing his costume.
Balrog falls from the Bridge.
“GOT HIS ASS!” 🤣
7:30 fun fact: in books, Boromir is the one disturbing the water
11:10 around 25 years... even though the books never state it exactly
So excited for you to react to this trilogy, one of the best stories ever told IMO. One interesting tidbit I like to tell first time watchers, when Galadriel (the elf queen) was giving gifts to everyone and Legolas asked Gimli what she gave him and he told her about the 3 strands of hair when he only asked for one, Legolas gives a knowing smile. The short version is way back when Galadriel was young, her uncle Faenor (who was probably one of the most powerful and skilled elf ever) wanted to create these powerful gems and Galadriel's hair was renowned for being so beautiful and a golden silver. Faenor wanted to capture the golden silver light into a gem like he did captured the light of magic trees with the others he made, so three times he asked her for one strand of hair. And three times she refused him, able to see the greed and arrogant pride within him. Pretty much every elf knows this story, so Legolas smiled knowing Gimli was so pure he got what Faenor couldn't, three times over. To me, that's what really changed Legolas' mind about dwarves. Gimli in particular.
great reaction.. but the point is that hobbits like Sam and Frodo and Merry and Pippin, aren't warriors, or even soldiers, they're quiet country folk, so in times of crisis or battle, it isnt surprising they make mistakes and mess up, most of us ordinary folk would too......what's special about the hobbits is that they dont give up, they stick to their mission, and carry on against all odds...and they show real courage as the movies progress, you'll see........dont be too hard on poor old Frodo, he's got the weight of the Ring on his shoulders, and the responsibility to have to complete the quest, no matter what............
Legolas come from a forest north east of Lothlorian called Mirkwood. The elves from Lothlorian, and Legolas’ elves are ancient kin, but have little to do with one another mostly due to grudge held by Legolas’ father over the death of his grandfather in the Second Age. This isolation by the Mirkwood elves was particularly severe by the Third Age when LOTR is set. ❤
Devin just being ruthless towards Frodo is so funny 😂
"Everyone needs a Sam in their lives. Or need to be a Sam for someone else." Boromir more than redeems himself before the end. "I would have followed you, my Captain, my King. Near tears every time. This is the greatest trilogy of our Generation. And it was written decades before any of us were born. Legendary
The movies don't cover this, but Lady Galadriel is Arwen's grandmother on her mother's side of the family.
Also Lady Galadriel is the Daughter of Finarfin, King of the Noldor and Brother of Finrod Felagund,Aegnor,Angrod and Orodreth in Valinor. I just love Lotr so much i need to say these things :)
You don't understand the ring is affecting him. And also the wound in shoulder affects him too.
And like Gandalf said, the Ring attracts evil to itself. The nazgul's stabbing, the Watcher In The Water choosing Frodo, the troll going after him in Moria...it's all because of the Ring putting a crosshair on Frodo.
Thanks for this spontaneous, honest, and wonderful reaction... As someone who first read the book 55 years ago and have watched the films for 25, it was a joy to relive the experience of seeing the films for the first time... They are so well constructed that every time you had a question, the film answered within minutes. And you caught so many of the important points... Right on, bro!
1:19 that shit traumatized me as a kid
Yea I can see how
I@@DevinGtv901 I'm a 34 year old man. I still turn away when it comes. 😅

You need to consider things in relation to others: Frodo is fking up periodically, but he doing better than anyone else. They are tempted simply by being near a ring, let alone touching it. So from 2 evils - you just have to pick lesser one in this situation.
The tears in the portions of the movie are the reason this is such a great trilogy. Definitely on my top 3 movie series. Can't wait for the others. Love your reactions battle.
I swear I seen this reaction before old reactions devin?
No you didn’t. I watched the regular one and honestly don’t remember it’s been so long ago
I am happy you are watching these movies they are some of my all time favorites!!!
I know what’s gonna happen and still cry every time
I've already watched all 3 on Patreon..🔥
Can’t wait to see what you think of Return of the King!
I knew this series would have the feels coming to you! You tear up when there is sacrifice and friendship the same as me, and this series is pure that! Love these reactions can’t wait for the next!
"I would of followed you my brother. My captain. My king." 😭😭😭💔💔💔
I honestly don't remember when I've enjoyed someone this much, with my beloved tale. This is wonderful.
Watching grown people cry at how good of a friend Sam is never gets old.
Great reaction Devin, love how you feel the emotional bond between the characters. Can't wait for the rest of these.
These 3 movies - the extended editions - are absolute masterpieces. So are the theatrical releases, but the extended versions add so much!
Great reaction video Devin! Roasting Frodo was so funny. You're doing well with the story too! Well done.
The music and the scene when he’s remembering Gandalf’s words always makes me tear up man
And the epic music from leaving Rivendell never happens the same way again after gandalfs fall
When you haven't read the books, it's easy to blame Frodo for a lot of things. But the ring's power is incomprehensible. Remenber that it has a will of its own, and it has a way of taking over the will of nearly anyone that has it or even comes near to it.
Gandalf knew this, and he knew that the ring feeds on and controls the will of everyone around it. That's why Gandalf and Aragorn cannot take it. As powerful as they are, it would magnify that power and control it for its own purposes.
No matter who carries it, no one can withstand its power.
At this point in the books, Frodo has been carrying the ring for months, and he's still mostly in control of himself. No one else, except maybe one particular other hobbit could have lasted this long.
Also, as addicted to the ring as Bilbo is, Bilbo never would have destroyed it.
It's good to see that even us big,burly guys can show our tears and emotions when it comes to this epic story. It means that we have fallen into the journey and must see it to its end.Great reaction.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☠️ I've never seen somebody get so angry (not sad, but angry) AT Frodo getting impaled by the cave troll. I'm dead.
RAH Brother. It's great that you did these in two parts. There is just so so much pertinant information and things to react to. Personally, I never thought i'd enjoy the story as much as I do, and I hope you continue to do so as well.
Also dem two wizards, Magneto vs Count Dooku. Great reaction!! 👍
These are the greatest films EVER made.
EVER.
By the 3rd film you’ll be moved unlike any film ever before
Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thank you and you as well my friend. Thanks for tuning in
The ring itself is manipulating Frodo to put it on. The ring has a conscious malice that wants to be found. It's not entirely Frodo's fault.
man i really love your reactions, the fact that youre understanding as youre going along and youre showing so much emotion as well, i cant wait for your next reaction to the Two Towers !!
When Frodo put the ring on in the "prancing pony" it even wasn't an accident, it was the will of the ring. When he put it on on "weathertop" he tried to escape, the nazgul would have found it anyway. And when he put it on at the "rauros falls" he tried to escape Boromir who was about to take it in the next second and this would have been the end of all. Boromir was corrupted by the ring so again it was the will of the ring not Frodos.
Nice to see you beeing so invested and touched by this movie. Watching you tearing up about Sam and Boromir tells me the next 2 movies will kill you. 😂
Can't wait to see you going on with this sh¡t. You will not regret.
Have fun (great reaction so far👍)
Sean Bean as Boromir, so well acted. With every watch his death hits you.
Boromirs death hit me sp hard everytime, he was possesses by the ring like evrvyone should but he was an honor man and a warrior ,he never been a bad guy , when he died i cried so badly and yes he kept his honor , Son of Gondor
Here is more stuff that connects to when Morgoth killed Fëanor’s father Finwë (as described in beginning of p1 of Gal’s Mark Of Tragedy): The First Kinslaying occurred before the Helcaraxë. It took place in the city of Alqualondë on the shores of Aman when the Noldor, lead by Fëanor, stole the ships of the Teleri (which also that clan didn’t like the energy coming from Fëanor but also didn’t want to start another war with Morgoth ontop of Teleri being rather peaceful in general; along with the fact it was all just a bit rash on their perspective so to speak to leave for Middle-earth, resulting in the deaths of many Teleri.
This act was a major turning point in the history of the Elves and led to the estrangement of the Noldor and the Valar. This is the battle where I may have mentioned in the Galadriel hair comment. Where she was defending her mothers people from Fëanor and his army which is one of the main reasons he backed the hell off. She’s a very cool character. One of the most beloved still alive in middle ear to after so many ages of the world had passed into the third age that you’re watching this movie in!)
•The decision to leave Aman and journey to Middle-earth was a choice made by the Noldor, led by Fëanor, on their own. They were driven by their desire to reclaim the Silmarils, which had been stolen by Morgoth, and to avenge the deaths of their kin who had been killed in the pursuit of the jewels.
The journey through the Helcaraxë was a difficult one, and many of the Noldor perished along the way. However, it was not seen as a punishment, but rather as a test of endurance and resilience. Those who survived the journey were strengthened by it and became more powerful as a result.
In summary, the First Kinslaying occurred before the Helcaraxë, and the decision to leave Aman and journey to Middle-earth was made by the Ñoldor on their own. The Helcaraxë was a difficult journey, but it was seen as a test of endurance on its own rather than a punishment.
This isn’t even 10 percent of the whole story just with her life and the life of her family shaped middle earth as we know it and made sure survival into the ages was even possible. Especially for both men and elves. She even among many elves is a living example of a bygone era for both kindreds.
Your face as you watch this is everything. ❤
If he doesnt like Frodo in this movie...... oh boy
Great reaction though, this ending is powerful
Pippin is the youngest by far of the hobbits. He’s a teen in their terms. That’s a big part of why he’s such an idiot at times. He’s also from a line/family of hobbits who are a bit more curious and adventurous than the typical hobbit, like Sam. He gets a lot of hate, but he’s been my favorite hobbit for over 30 years. He’s part in the story is not as big as Sam or Frodo, but his growth over the course of the adventure has always touched my heart. There are important parts in the book that naturally had to be left out of the movies which add even more to Pippin’s story. (As well as the other hobbits.)
You are gonna love the next two movies!!! So excited to follow along😎😎
Aragorn responds to the fellowship as they enter Lothlórien: “There is in her and this land no evil, unless a man bring it hither himself. Then let him beware!” If you’re going by her portrayal in the movies, you might think she has an evil element to her character, but that came from Peter Jackson’s portrayal of the addictive, coercive power of the Ring. When Frodo offered her the Ring, it presented her with visions of herself as the all-powerful Goddess of Middle-Earth.
Tolkien stated in other works and letters between others and himself that she essentially could subdue Sauron especially so with the one ring but the true scary part would be that all would love her so genuinely to the point of it being uncanny. The forests would expand throughout what’s left of middle earth as it begins to reflect the elder days to some degrees it’s hard to explain and I don’t have Tolkiens exact words on hand right now but yeah.
It's not quite shown in the movies but Boromir's brother was meant to go show up for the council which ended up being about the ring, all kindreds were showing up for separate matters. The dwarves mainly because one of the Nazgûl had come offering the remaining dwarvish rings they had received long ago that were reclaimed by sauron. But even those thousands of years ago their forefathers were NOT effected by their rings even though those were infused with Sauron's malice. If anything it just increased their hoarding of wealth and resources. Though the echoes from the nameless ones deeper in the mountains had caused certain groups and clans to grow a bit greedy but othet than that they remained fully strong and noble.
(English below) - Moria gate Gandalf said : Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen!
Fennas nogothrim, lasto beth lammen!
“Elvish gate, open now for us! Doorway of the Nargothrond dwarf-folk, listen to the word of my tongue!”
It's not that frodo doesn't trust them. The Ring houses the a soul of an almost all powerful demigod and by that nature is all corrupting, everyone at some point will fall the the Ring's will, that's why Gandalf didn't want to take the Ring from Frodo when he offered it back in the Shire. The Ring will always win, the only one to completely reject the Ring was Bilbo. But I do understand you're frustration with Frodo. Also, you're right Sam is the MVP.
If you want a Samwise in your life, be a Samwise in someone else's.
Greatest movie of all times. Glad you’re enjoying it…..
GREAT Editing My Friend ! really Good ! Don't change Anything.
Loved your reaction--can't wait for The Two Towers. Stay safe, my friend!
By giving the choice of course to Frodo, Gandalf may have been trying to thwart Saruman. Saruman knows Gandalf, and would be likely to predict which choice Gandalf might make. But which way would Frodo choose?
Just think, this story was written in the 1950s. Long before anyone imagined the possibility of such films. The key to the eternalness of these films is the fact they kept TRUE to the books.
Bro you are reacting to a trilogy that I watch many times every year. Your raw emotions and the tears are so real, im genuinely happy you get to feel the HEART this movie has.
Fellowship of the ring. Two Towers, Return of the King. Can't wait for them bro!!!
Remember the end of part 1 ? - 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!
For Frodo!❤
If you can't stand him already the next parts will be tough for you 😅
Ohhh I already know lol
Glad you’re into it. Yeah Frodo…..Sam is mvp.
Galadriel's life was marked by much loss & tragedy part 1. She lost many family members, including her brothers Aegnor & Angrod, who died in the War of Wrath, a great conflict between the forces of the Valar and Morgoth. She also lost her grandfather, Finwë, who was slain by Morgoth by a terrible & unholy lighting strike that left his body broken but one can imagine he was just as mighty as Fëanor by being the FATHER, Morgoth himself being responsible for the deaths of her uncles Fëanor (& Fingolfin quite a bit later on when he faced off one on one with Morgoth/Melkor and left the fallen Valar 7 permanent wounds which left him eternally limp to the point of being mocked by his generals and the like indefinitely which left Morgoth in intense pain forever!)
Fëanor was Galadriel's half-uncle, as he was the son of Finwë by his first wife Míriel. Fëanor's sons were therefore Galadriel's first cousins. Most of Fëanor's sons died in the wars that followed the theft of the Silmarils, including the tragic deaths of Celegorm & Curufin, who were slain by their own cousin, Lúthien's son Dior.
Galadriel also lost her relative Aredhel, who was her cousin, & Aredhel’s brother; king Turgon of the hidden kingdom of Gondolin. These losses weighed heavily on Galadriel, but she remained strong and resolute in the face of adversity.
Fëanor's death was a tragic event that marked the beginning of the First Age of Middle-earth. After Morgoth stole the three Silmarils, Fëanor swore an oath to retrieve them, even if it meant going to war with the Valar themselves. Fëanor led the Ñoldor in their rebellion against the Valar, & he and his sons played a significant role in the events that followed.
Fëanor was eventually slain by Balrogs, demonic creatures who served Morgoth, during the flight of the Ñoldor from Middle-earth. His death marked the end of an era, & his legacy continued to be felt in Middle-earth for many ages to come.
Fingolfin's death was no less tragic. He challenged Morgoth to single combat & fought valiantly against him, but he was ultimately slain by the Dark Lord. His death inspired many to rise up against Morgoth, & his legacy continued to inspire the people of Middle-earth for many ages to come.
Despite the many losses she suffered, Galadriel remained a powerful and influential figure in Middle-earth, & her wisdom & knowledge continued to be sought after by many.
Galadriel's history is rich & complex, & she played a significant role in the events of Middle-earth. She was born in the Undying Lands before the creation of the sun and moon, and she was a member of the Noldor, one of the three Elven races.
Galadriel's family, the House of Finarfin, was closely connected to the Vanyar, the first of the three Elven races to journey to the Undying Lands. Galadriel's grandmother, Indis, was a Vanya, and her mother, Eärwen, was a Teleri princess who married Finarfin.
Galadriel's father & brothers participated in the rebellion of the Noldor against the Valar, which resulted in the exile of the Noldor from the Undying Lands. Galadriel, however, did not participate in the horrifying kinslaying, protecting her mothers people from Fëanor’s onslaught at Alqualondë instead, - returning in the Undying Lands for a while longer before reuniting with her people still travelling the Helcaraxë.
As I recall her father was with the others that returned to Valinor at the Doom Of Mandos which in basic terms set a warning prophesy sort of thing where if they left Valinor it’d cause a domino effect throughout time etc. but Fëanor’s fire burned inside and he had a HUGE bone to pick with Morgoth.
So that’s what was mainly leading him there but it was several years long of travel on what was called the Helcaraxë (grinding ice wastes) Galadriel did end up there but through other means as her way to middle earth let’s just say lead her to there where she sort of rendezvoused with her family and helped lead her people to middle earth. Many died on this trip of HARSH conditions.).
During the Third Age, Galadriel played a key role in the events leading up to the War of the Ring. She helped the Fellowship of the Ring by giving them gifts, advice, and guidance, and she played a significant role in the defeat of Sauron. (She played a bigger role than shown in the movies)
Galadriel possessed many magical abilities, including the power to read minds, the ability to communicate telepathically, & the power to cast spells but above all was her ability to project herself across large distances(not teleporting, think more like a sort of mental and spiritual projection similar to astral travel) She was also renowned for her beauty & grace, and her wisdom and knowledge were highly respected by the Free Peoples of Middle-earth.
Overall, Galadriel's long life and rich history make her one of the most intriguing and powerful characters in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium.
Galadriel is one of the oldest and most powerful beings of the Elven race left in middle earth. According to Tolkien's writings, Galadriel was born in Tirion in the Undying Lands(which means untouched By Morgoth’s Ring where he poured his essence and malice into the earth itself. Middle Earth. Not all of Eä(the world), also known as Aman, which existed before the creation of the sun and moon.
And this landmass used to be closer to middle earth and existed long before Middle Earth became what it was as a landmass in itself due to the reshaping of the world a few times due to Valar’s battles with Melkor along with natural shifts over the millions of years etc.
The creation of the sun and moon occurred after the Two Trees of Valinor, which provided light to the world, were destroyed. This event, known as the Darkening of Valinor, marked the end of the First Age of Middle-earth.
Based on Tolkien's timeline, the events of the First Age occurred approximately 5,000 years before the start of the Second Age. The Second Age lasted for approximately 3,441 years, and the Third Age lasted for approximately 3,019 years.
Therefore, if Galadriel was born in the Undying Lands before the creation of the sun & moon, it is estimated that she would be at least 25,000 years old by the end of the Third Age, which is when the events of The Lord of the Rings take place. This calculation is based on the assumption that Galadriel was born before the start of the First Age and that she has lived through all three ages, which is supported by Tolkien's writings.
Most important thing here is about Galadriel’s eldest brother Finrod: Finrod Felagund, also known as Findaráto, was a noble elf of rarer mixed heritage just like his younger sister & brothers, the Noldor/Vanyar/Teleri renowned for his wisdom and fairness but also his valiance. He was the eldest son of Finarfin, one of the three sons of Finwë who was the High King of the Noldor.
Finrod played a crucial role in the events that led to the creation of Númenor. When the Valar summoned the Noldor to return to Valinor, Finrod and his companions chose to stay in Middle-earth and establish their own kingdoms. During their travels, they encountered the Edain, a group of mortal Men who were the mightiest of them all and the elves considered them equals!!!
They became friendly and open to the elves. Finrod was particularly impressed by their courage and loyalty, and he became the first elf to befriend them.
As time passed, Finrod & the 3 main Houses Of The Edain formed a close bond. Teaching them many things about the world and the lore of the elves. He also helped them in their struggles against the dark forces of Morgoth since even before meeting the elves. The Edain pledged their allegiance to the elves and fought alongside them in many battles. He even learned their language due to his way of reading hearts and minds which essentially aided hugely in his learning how their language worked etcetera.
Eventually, the deeds of Finrod and the Edain were recounted in the halls of the Valar, and the Valar took pity on the mortal Men. They decided to give them a gift, and thus Númenor was created, a great island kingdom in the middle of the sea, where Men could live in peace and prosperity.
-
As for Finrod Felagund, [Galadriel’s Eldest Brother], he did not live to see the rise of Númenor, for he perished in a battle against a werewolf in the dungeons of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, also known as Sauron's Isle. Protecting Beren, saving his life by breaking free from his own chains to kill that same werewolf with his bare hands and teeth. Facing off with Sauron before that. He and Beren were forced to watch the elvish companions who were most loyal to Finrod get ripped apart by said werewolves
-
He was a true friend to the first of mankind to show up in middle earth, the Edain, and played a key role in the creation of Númenor. He was also close to his sister Galadriel, and together they shared many adventures and battles. (I’ll share the significance of Elrond’s father which is the main character in how his deeds lead to the assistance from Valinor to help insurmountable odds and circumstances regarding Morgoth to take his physical form out of the picture for good in what’s called the War Of Wrath which was 80 years long nonstop. But I’ll go into it more when I share about Elrond in a different comment which I may save for the second movie or if you want I can post it below this video!)
In the end, Finrod's legacy lived on through his deeds and his influence on the fate of Middle-earth. His noble example inspired many, including Aragorn, who was born centuries later & gave him the chance to claim the throne of Gondor & Arnor/Anor as a descendant of the line of Elronds Twin brother who was first king Of Númenor and started the line of the Faithful Númenoreans.
lol never seen someone get so mad when Frodo gets stabbed. You have to understand the hobbits are most certainly not warriors, and have never been exposed to this type of stuff before this.
