Thank you for watching and see you soon
Happy new year everyone! Here’s to a chaotic but AMAZING 2024 🎉
Every reaction I watch is always "everyone needs a sam" but never "everyone should be like sam" Because that is a lot tougher.
That shot of Theoden de-aging after being freed from Saruman's control is still one of my all-time favorite visual fx shot. It's just SO smooth.
Liala: "I'm just hoping that I do not cry in this movie" People that are fully aware of both the movie and Liala: "That's adorable..."
Faramir actually belongs to a select group. Aside from Aragorn, he’s the only human we’ve seen who can resist the Ring.
Bernard Hill came up with the line "No parent should have to bury their child." which he heard from a woman who he spoke to in Glasgow, when she told him about her daughter being killed in a terrorist attack on Northern Ireland.
What I gets me is the point many miss about the 3 hunters (Aragon, Legolas & Gimili) chasing the orc band across Rohan. In the books Eomer is duly impressed with their feat. When Eomer & his troops meet up with them Aragon mentioned they had been chasing after the orcs for 45 leagues (135 miles or about 218km) ON FOOT. Hearing this, Eomer then named Aragon Wingfoot. This was too much of a scene for the film
Just a note about all the times people have told Aragorn how they have no hope. Boromir telling him, "It is long since we had any hope." Eomer telling him, "Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope. It has left these lands." Theoden....etc. It's a subtle thing that only people who loved the books so much that they also pored over the Appendices would pick up on. Aragorn's birth name was Estel. Estel is the Elvish word for hope. Specifically, the type of deep, profound hope that gets people through dark times. They have a different word for the lighthearted sort of hope for casual, everyday plans.
Eowyn seems to be a great person to most. But she was, in fact, suicidal. She had lost hope. Her wish to fight only came from her hope of a death in freedom. She also feared to be remembered badly. Thats why she had chosen battle as her death, instead of killing herself. She had lost her parents, her brother was banished, her uncle was with his remaining warriors to face a superior enemy and certain death, her cousin was slain in a skirmish. She feared to be enslaved. She saw no victory for her people and only death or slavery. That is why she wanted to fight. Because living seemed not worth it. A sad charakter.
Excellent reaction! So glad you are doing the trilogy back to back without other stuff between them! Can't wait for Return of the King reaction!!
“No parent should have to bury their child” i miss my daughter so much ❤
I'll be the token "In the book" guy here:
The original thought was that The Dead Marshes was going to be shot at a real swamp on the South Island of New Zealand but when they went for the location, they found that most of the moss were floating on the water surface. Director Peter Jackson (who wore shorts at the time) tried out how deep the water was and he sunk to his hip. This made him and the crew to instead build the swamp on a parking lot (which was used for outside The Gate of Moria, Osgiliath and The Court Yard of Minas Tirith in the next movie) using sandbags, cover them in different types of tusocks of grass and mosses and flooded it. The original location did get used as wideshots of The Dead Marshes, being filmed from a helicopter.
The heartbreaking part about the future Elrond saw for his daughter Arwen was her actual future. After Aragorn died she wandered the forest in grief. Their love is beautiful and heartbreaking.
"Fell deeds await. Now for wrath! Now for ruin and the red dawn!
Gollum is a digital character that Andy Serkis played mostly through motion capture in post production but he was present for the shooting for references, reactions, eye lines and interactions with Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. As you often do with CGI characters driven by human performance, Andy was shot playing as Gollum, wearing a skin-colored gimp suit and hood, to get the correct eye lines and reactions for Elijah and Sean, then the next take was a empty take where Andy wasn't there and the hobbits pretended he was there, with Serkis reading dialouge behind the camera for the timing. Some of the reference takes were actually used for the movie, such as when Frodo and Sam fights Gollum at the beginning, as those had all the interactions that the mime passes didn't have. In those takes Andy was painted out of the shot and replaced by Gollum which acted according to Andy's movements, which is called roto-scoping (which have been used by Disney since Snow White where the animators traced the movements of filmed actors for the movements of the animated characters). Even if a lot of the shots were mo-capped, a lot of the shots were tweaked by CG animators animating as the mo-cap at the time wasn't sophisticated enough to do eye, mouth and finger movements. There were some shots that was completely stop motion CG animation that was either too difficult or too dangerous for Andy to do, such as Gollum climbing down the cliff at the start of the film or when Gollum was yanked back by the elven rope. Some shots weren't 100 % replicated from Andy's movements, such as when Gollum is fighting Sam. In the original plate, Andy wasn't climbing on to Sean Astin as he would easily fall over, and he was actually headbutting Astin as part of the choreography but since that didn't suit for Gollum's character, the animator for the scene took the photoage of Sean Astin recoiling from Andy's headbutt and used that for Gollum grabbing Sam's head and shakes it.
Also, when Aragorn kicks the helmet, he actually broke his toe, that's real pain in his voice!
"No parent should have to bury their child."
Wonderful reaction to the best trilogy of movies ever!
