I love Gandalf’s reaction when he heard Sam went with Frodo. He appreciates and understands Sam’s value. It comforted him that Sam was with him. He never underestimated Sam
Orange fox yep I like that too ahaah..
Please Mr Gandalf, don’t turn me into anything....unnatural.
No? Perhaps not. I've thought of a better use for you.
Sam only went with Frodo because he said "Don't you lose his Samwise Gamgee". And we all know he doesn't mean too.
Frodo could had fell if not for Sam, Sam was te actual hero and frodo take all the credit !!
Ian McKellen is such a fantastic actor! He was perfect for Gandalf.
+SJMJ91 Classically trained too ^^
I'm convinced Tolkien would've loved it.
The only other person I can imagine playing gandalph with the same quality of acting is Patrick Stewart
The ironic thing is that Christopher Lee had met Tolkien and Tolkien said he was the only person he approved of to play Gandalf if they ever made movies of LOTR
Ian Mckellen is planning to play Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings TV series. He says that he's down for it
"Did he? Did he indeed? Good."
How beautiful this is.
In the book it is "did he! Did he indeed? It is news to me, yet it does not surprise me. Good! Very good! You lighten my heart..."
As much to say "Thank God."
@@theo2z1z94 they used fewer words in the movie because the actor did a very good job to convey the rest with facial expressions
@@fitrianhidayat indeed, true indeed
@@fitrianhidayat His face brightening up for a moment is so sweet ☺️
“But he is not so mighty yet that he is above fear.” I swear, every line of Gandalf is perfect.
McKellen's delivery is such a perfect match for Tolkien's Gandalf. Certain lines from the books could sound *so dumb* if handled by a lesser actor, but Ian McKellen had such an immense capacity to inflect such nuanced emotion and thought into each line it brings it past fantasy camp and makes you really believe you're hearing a mythic hero
@@srsteck03 I agree. Particularly his words during his standoff with the Balrog, that could’ve been cringe. But Ian muthafuckin’ McKellen is a god.
@@srsteck03 it is also because he based the character on Tolkien. There is a recording of Tolkien reading the books in much the same way.
In the books it was actually Aragorn who said that
Every Line in LOTR is perfect.
I now try to read other stuff, and they can be good books. But they always seem to have one issue or another. One author can be brilliant in creating tension but is real crap at writing love parts or realistic women.
Others do nearly everything perfect, but the main characters are either a bit dull or are going through such hardships there never seem to be a win. (I'm looking at you farseer)
Tolkien had everything. Nobody beats the original. All opinions are of course subjective. But i think many who read fantasy can agree on this. It is still on the top rankings of book sold even 60+years after it's release. I highly doubt we will say the same about current fantasy epics in 60 years. LOTR is a masterpiece on the heights with Bethoven or the Mona Lisa.
"Cool, thanks for the update Gandalf, but I just came over to ask what time breakfast is."
greyztone Oh my gosh haha! I guess realistically Aragorn walked up there to just be with Gandalf and then Gandalf started speaking to Aragorn since Aragorn came up to him.
Hahaha! Sounded like something a hobbit would have said, especially Merry or Pippin
i just cracked up at this 😂
HAHAHAHAHAH
You've already had breakfast
I love how Gandalf speaks hope into Aragorn "Sauron fears what you may become"
JJay479 I also love the contrasting scene at the feast at Edoras in Return of the king where Gandalf is the one who fears Frodo's failure and Aragorn is the one who reassures him.
Gandalf's cheif talent, which is interestingly closely related to the power of his elven ring, Nenya, which Cirdan gave to him. The ring gifts the bearer with the ability to inspire hope, as well as giving those around him a resistance to despair and domination.
@@falcodarkzz It's Narya. Nenya is the Diamond Ring and its bearer is Galadriel.
Sauron genuinely is afraid of Aragorn in the books
And Aragorn speaks hope into Gandalf, by telling him Sam went eith Frodo.
1:42
That small moment where Gandalf sees that Aragorn regrets leaving Frodo is so SO good.
You mean that tiny eye twitch? A great actor can do that and it's amazing.
and when Aragorn replies Gandalf turns into the Grey for a moment
Not only that, according to the books Gandalf could read minds, so that maybe explains his reaction to Aragorn after that exact moment :)
That's the stuff of dreams in terms of acting skills. Chills
i for the first time realized it.. this is beyond perfect, I always adored the subtle details about Aragorn and Viggo's acting but a duet with Sir Ian makes it even better
The way Ian McKellen exhales at 2:05 saying "Yes, very good" carries a ton of emotion and talent. The acting at this film comes from another dimension.
Compared to the level of acting we get today we may never see acting of this high a caliber ever again.
No, it comes from years of experience and training, and having worked with countless actors in his career, supplemented by his own life experiences. That's how fine wine ages.
@@Arcilios what a baseless and ridiculous statement.
@@jawbone78 Look at Amazon's pathetic reboot and tell me that even holds a candle to this. I'll wait.
@@Arcilios you're not a serious person. Please go touch grass.
Sam.
Possibly the greatest hero in all of this story.
what do you mean by "possibly" ;)
BlueShit199 hehe a lot of bravery and hope and sacrifice and heroism from a lot of other characters too ;)
ghoawaynetcabo Yeah, but he's the only one who kept being cose to the Ring and still being loyal to the.. I don't know, Everything?
Not just possibly.
sam the man!
Look at that shot at the beginning, fuckin beautiful...RIP Andrew Lesnie genius of camera
And Christopher Lee. They will be greatly missed
It's like if Tolkien's pages come to life.
Josué Miguel Rodríguez-Vanegas Azzht
its beautiful. I also love the shot of Weathertop in twilight in the Fellowship
Breadn butter yep look at the orange tint in the sky..im guessing thats mordor ahaah..
What if Aragorn slowly walked away in the middle of Gandalf's monologue and he just kept speaking..
Shane Blair and from a distance Aragorn goes Gandalf who are you talking to
lmaoo
Gandalf would just speak to himself as i think he does alot....
Shane Blair prick
Except Gandalf kept looking to his right where Aragorn was
"It's just something Gandalf said: 'don't you lose him Samwise Gamgi', and I don't mean to"
Gamgee*
@Lord Voldemort Fuck off Voldemort, you're meant to be a dark wizard and you got beaten by a teenager
frodo: oh sam....naked in the dark.....
@Lord Voldemort lmao you're one of those fuckers that scream plot armour for the protagonists in all the stories huh. Guess what, everything is plot induced you noseless, hairless twat.
Foehammer yep ahahha...
I love how comforting Gandalf is in this scene. He’s essentially saying “yes, I know this looks terrible and we’re not out of the woods yet, but the odds are in our favour.” Ian McKellen’s performance has a gentle nature to it that feels like a friend or a family member telling you “everything’s going to be alright”. Wonderful.
Also sort of like an angelic messenger speaking to someone faithful and giving them an answer to prayers while encouraging them to persevere through coming trials.
wish he had more material on gandalf. how he became this, practically sauron's main opponent on the chessboard of middle earth when he was scared to fight him at first
Meanwhile, on rop crap we got a non speaking stupid na old man that comes from a meteor and doesn't even know simple English
may the odds be... lol
Aragorn is so great here. Even though he is a king and a great warrior, he is humble enough to listen to someone else and take advice.
Aragon is not king yet
Gandalf is a Maia, not a bad thing to take his advice
Tolkien wrote his stories so well everybody needs to take a good lesson as if he were a 1900s Shakespeare (story telling wise and his beautiful use of language) and 95% probably life experience
And in the books at Helm’s Deep it was actually Théoden’s idea to ride out so Aragorn learned from many great people
As everyone should practice.
i think tolkien saw sam as the real hero of lord of the rings
+Sam jay I guess everyone did right ? TBH I always thought Frodo is little girl :D
From the lotr wiki: "Tolkien himself expressed this view in one of his letters: Sam was referred to as the "chief hero"
Sam jay he is
Even Jon Snow has a Sam and I bet he will find important answers in that huge library...
Sam jay Me too.
This is one of my favorite EE scenes. I love it because it really puts Gandalf's mission into greater perspective and I love the transition from "Yes, very good." to Sam climbing up the cliff. Just great stuff.
I love how hopeful Gandalf's face becomes learning that Sam is still with Frodo
I feel like he is also remembering when he made Sam promise not to lose Frodo as well. Like, he's actually pleased that Sam is STILL keeping his word despite it all.
I like that Gandalf appreciates Sam as well, that he sees potential in many living beings, who may seem ordinary to everyone
And the transition of the score from hopeful and mildly triumphant to blaring trumpets of raw dread as the black gate comes into picture.
I remember before the EE came out you were rewarded with this scene if you beat Two Towers video game.
God when he says 'very good' his whole face lights up. His head is telling him that Frodo has to do the impossible but his heart in that moment tells him Frodo will find a way somehow, against all odds
The sheer joy that Gandalf expresses as he learns of Sam going with Frodo is simply wonderful to watch
Fun fact: Melkor, Sauron’s master and the original dark lord although easily the most powerful of the Valar, he was cursed with one thing no other Valar was. The ability to feel fear. This was ultimately his undoing, and a paranoia that he passed down to his servant Sauron as well. Their fear, anxiety, and apprehension was what ultimately led to both their downfalls. It made Sauron act before he was ready, and rashly. Although weak, the strength of men was tenacious and was able to take advantage of these moments when Sauron overextended himself and his forces out of fear.
But that was because the Fall of the Angels (Ainur in Elvish). Melkor, the Lucifer of Tolkien, was able to feel fear because his revolt against Eru, the One True God. The fear only can known by those have fallen in sin and evil, and Melkor, as Lucifer, was the first one
I spontaneously thought, like London (WW II) and Ukraine.
""... the strength of men was tenacious ..." Well done.
Edward Murrow's nearly legendary news reports from London under the Nazi blitz are available free on YT.
"Edward R. Murrow: First Night of the Blitz on London"
What I love about this scene from the extended edition is that Gandalf helps explain to those who haven't read the books why Mount Doom was unguarded. The idea of destroying the One Ring never entered Sauron's darkest dreams. What he feared the most was someone like Gandalf, Saruman, or even Aragorn mastering the Ring and supplanting him. Plus I love how Gandalf's spirits rise when he learns from Aragorn that Sam went with Frodo.
That's true, but Mt. doom and mordor would have been far to full of orcs for Frodo and Sam to get through undetected. That's why after the battle of the Palenor fields, Aragorn assembles all of what is left of the armies of men and confronts Sauron in the Palantiri stone that was in Denethor's possession. In the stone he bluffs that he (Aragorn) has the ring and that with it he's coming to Mordor for victory. In reality of course Frodo still had the ring and because his mission was still totally unknown Sauron believed him and drained all of Mordor of orcs to confront Aragorn. Aragorn and all who followed him new they were grossly outnumbered 20 to 1 but it was known that this last distraction was the only opportunity for Frodo to make it safely. This is suggested in the movies but I think it's one of the major drawbacks that Peter Jackson didn't make this more clear for the audience. One thing which is painfully done wrong is there is a scene in the extended edition of ROTK where they show the moment Aragorn confronts Sauron, and instead of besting Sauron's will, Aragorn falls to the ground and drops the Palantir. . . which is just so wrong. I don't understand why they did that, but otherwise the movies are tremendous.
@@zackclark626 I don't think it is meant that he loses to saurons will but that he is scared of losing arwen gotta sell that love story
@Zachariah Clark doubt it changes your view but in the movie (while it's hard to know for certain) it appears Aragorn drops the palantir onto the seat in front of him and a moment later he drops the Evenstar. Still not sure he really drops it in reality. I don't know it's an odd scene.
@@zackclark626 hmm I'm also wondering if you've merged him falling and dropping it when pippin picks up at the beginning with his confronting Sauron alone with it near the end.
This is true but there’s something else everyone always forgets. Mt. Doom is guarded. There are thousands of orcs stationed right in front of it. Literally the only reason Frodo and Sam got through is because Sauron sent them all to the Black Gate to destroy Aragorn’s army. Between this and the fact that he can’t imagine someone destroying the ring, he just didn’t see the need for placing guards directly in front of the door
“The veiling shadow that glowers in the East takes shape. Sauron will suffer no rival. From the summit of Barad-dur his eye watches ceaselessly. But he is not so mighty yet that he is above fear.”
Peter Jackson’s idea to hire a Shakespearean actor for Gandalf was such a good decision!
thank tolkien instead for his use of words.
@@diollinebranderson6553 when did Tolkien fans become little babies? The OP was just admiring the way sir Ian delivered dialogue. And you instantly wanna bitch in to ask him to thank the author of books? It's like me saying, forget Tolkien, thank the one who invented the pen or paper or English language.

@@barkley8285 eew. a narutard
0:50 Aragorn nods
1:02 Aragorn nods
1:20 Aragorn nods...
If you listen to Gandalf, you better nod. What important insight could a man offer to a literal angel?
Otherwise Aragorn will be like Isildur or worse, Elwe Thingol, husband of a Maia, Melian; both of them are his ancestors.
When a wizard speaks, you listen.
Maybe Aragorn was playing “Epic Sax Guy” in his head while Gandalf was talking.
Lol
I always love how the glow of Mordor is always on the horizon in these movies
Yeah. And that makes Middle Earth small AF. That was THE WORST thing about The Two Towers and Return of the King...
Reminds me of breath of the wild. Wherever you are, you usually have a view of hyrule castle and Ganondorf's evil cloud around it
@@osrictemper4225 to be fair its only in the extended cuts and the majority of rotk is at minas tirith which is 50 miles from mordor... basically los angeles to san diego, not far at all.
@@barkley8285 Consider the fact that these men are walking or riding on horseback, and you would actually understand how large the world was relative to human traveling range back then.
@@shanekeenaNYC horse back riding makes travelling not bad. Minas tirith to mordor is like a days ride, minas tirith to edoras is three.
Aragorn says almost nothing in this scene, but Viggo’s acting is so good that he’s saying so much with just looks and listening. And then when he finally speaks, that great uplifting, hopeful sentence that brings all the darkness and overwhelm at the greatness of their quest back to the power of friendship; “He’s not alone. Sam went with him.”
Both Vigo and Ian were great in this. To see them now, how time flies!😃
Tasha Yovanin ikr :(
Virgo definitely aged the worst out of the whole cast. Also Eowyn looks pretty old as well.
I love that when Aragorn tells Gandalf that Sam went with Frodo you can tell it genuinely inspires more hope in him. Sam is such a valuable companion, his support of Frodo made the chance of the ring being successfully destroyed so much greater than if Frodo was alone.
Sam was the real hero.
@@Cole-ossalReviews Sam fanboys really are deluded
@@mihaimercenarul7467 in a letter to Milton Waldman (Letter 131, 1951), Tolkien refers to Sam specifically as the “chief hero” of the saga.
@@mihaimercenarul7467 you noobs think dwarves are the hero? Sam is the real hero that saved the world
@@VickyCruz no child, every memmber of The fellowship was The Hero. Frodo wouldn"t have made it without Sam and Sam without frodo. You Sam fanboys are more delulded than I thought. Stop acting like Sam was The only one who did everything. No wonder Sam has The worst fanbase
For a trilogy that Peter Jackson has made, Tolkien's books are far more deep and detailed than what we could've imagined. He described the whole world from the beginning! What a legendary writer
The movies are fantastic. Currently reading the Silmarillion and it’s blowing my fucking mind. I think His version of the story of the existence of middle earth is insane
@@mp7scarh I, too, loved the movies. Except for BOFA though.
Very true!!!!!
@@mp7scarh I love the Silmarillion!!! I read it about 10 times already and with every time I read it there is some detail i missed the last time and I fucking love it! I can't get enough of this world . Im soaking it in like a dry sponge. I love the Story of the fall of Numenor and the parallels to Beren and Luthien, it makes Aragons Story so much more interesting and to know Gandalf is a Maiar and what might he holds. My favourite character is Feanor and his story. He is such a crazy and badass character and moved so much in the world. Really amazing stories and it makes the timespan and climax of LOTR look so small. Sorry for fanboying so much I just can't hold myself when it comes to that topic.
@@finduzzle2991 I picked up like 7
Tolkien books from Barnes and Noble and I’m set for life. I grabbed the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth, The Children of Hurin, Beren and Luthien, the Fall of Gondolin, the Book of Lost Tales, the Shaping of Middle Earth. Tolkien has so many more books/writings it’s endless fantasy I love it
Aragon after Gandalf’s monologue: “Okay, that’s great and all but I was just going to get a midnight snack so.... want something?”
He really needs to release the pee of Numenor
"He is not alone" , a sentence that so many times runs through Tolkien's works, reflects the very essence of existence and survival...
Theoden king stands alone. Not alone. Rohirrim.
Love the fact that Gandalf didn't think or ask about Sam after returning from his battle with the Balrog but took everyone else into consideration
I noticed also
Aragorn: "he's not alone. Sam went with him."
Gandalf: "who?"
I think that he thought the hobbits who were being taken to Isengard :) included Sam.
@@miriamjohnson3962 But he saw Merry and Pippin before he met up with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli
Gandalf: where is Paragrim? Where is my Took?
Aragorn: he died.
Gandalf: did he? Yes good, very good.
I cannot imagine any other actor being able to play Gandalf. Shakespearean yet at the time not at all well known outside the UK. His casting was pure genius.
Well, you can thank Sean Connery for turning the role down first.
@@waltblackadar4690 i am sure Sean Connery would do a fine job, but it would be an different Gandalf for sure.
Ian McKellen was so great that we cant conceive another person playing Gandalf.
Ian mckellen is from Northern England
He also played Magneto in the X-men series
Sauron is depicted as pretty powerful and scary even without physical embodiment in the LotR trilogy. But it's what Sauron does in the Second Age - subjugating Numenorean Kings, seducing them with promise of immortality, turning men against one another , starting a Satanic -like death cult that demanded blood sacrifice, that you really understand why he's so terrifying. He's not even a fraction of that in the LotR
pretty crazy he was able to use his influence to have a church dedicated to Morgoth be built in Numenor. That's a trip!!!
Which is sad considering the whole plot hole of the one ring at that time, surely if sauron was in possession of it at the time, Eru would have destroyed it then.
Nevertheless one of my favourite stories.
@@wintax Curious why you think that's a plot hole. If Eru wanted to intervene directly and destroy the One Ring he could have done so at any time, at least most probably. Sauron did have it in his possession and used it with great affect to overthrow and corrupt minds.
@@wintax that's actually not a bad point. However you're not the first to think of it and so Tolkien directly addressed it in Letter 211:
"I do not think one need boggle at this spirit carrying off the One Ring, upon which his power of dominating minds now largely depended."
Sauron was able to carry the ring from Numeor, after it was cast into the sea and the world reshaped, by his spirit, at the same time that he himself escaped to Middle-Earth.
Is this what the upcoming Amazon series will be about?
So many great things to say about this scene. One of the best is the music, particularly when Gandalf says, "the ring remains hidden", how the music becomes ever so slightly uplifting, going along with the hope that Gandalf feels.
That's in fact the Fate of the Ring theme, which foreshadows the Destruction of the Ring theme that plays when Sauron is destroyed in the end.
@@monoverantus you're so right! Even better - it all works so well. I just love this universe and the music! Few things make me shed tears but this shit does
gandalf the white is taking saruman's position and is showing that this is the way that saruman should done his duty for middle earth.
Aragorn saying "he is not alone, Sam went with him" is one of my favourite moments in the movies.
They casted every single role for this movie flawlessly but Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf is something else.
And then Amazon destroys it
One of those perfect castings. This movie has quite a few of them - Viggo as Aragorn… Elijah as Frodo…
Mmm… though indeed very good, I’d say as someone who read the book 100 or more times, that Sean Connery is agreed upon as optimal for Gandalf, Liam neeson perfect for Aragorn (though Daniel day Lewis also could have been marvellous) and triple H for boromir and for me they are the perfect cast and it sure bugs me. And I don’t like wood’s Frodo at all.
“Frodo would not have gotten far without sam”
This scene makes me realise that Gandalf sees Sam the same way he saw Bilbo. He chose Bilbo for the Erebor quest because Bilbo “gave Gandalf hope”. And he saw the potential in him even if he didn’t see it in him himself. You can see that same reaction here when talking about Sam. Sam clearly gives Gandalf hope and also does not yet see his own potential.
Gandalf being happy that Sam went with him tickles my soul. He knew Frodo would need him. And indeed he did. Sam lowkey the hero.
There will be no better casting than Mortenson as Aragorn.
You know that things will go well when a Maia smiles just like that after hearing a bit of good news...
The smallest person, holding out hope that the good on this world is worth fighting for, and ultimately doing the impossible is the essence of this story.
When Gandalf realised that Sam went with Frodo, the wave of relief and hope that came over Gandalf the Fucking White himself.
That shows the power of Sam's rock hard will and loyalty/love for Frodo. Fucking Sam I love him.
*2:02*
*When my friends see The Lord of the Rings for the very first time*
lol
Damn..back when hollywood had good writers. It's night and day different
Ian Mckellen is so good. He rattled off so much dialogue and exposition but it doesn’t feel rushed. It carried much nuance to it and he plays with the words so exquisitely. Just the right amount of tension and slack in the right places.
That's the stage experience for you!
Aragorn is King Arthur and Gandalf his Merlin, invaluable advisor, powerful ally, wise beyond words
Remember when this was the standard?
Gandalf the white seems much more technical and robotic but when Aragorn mentions Sam it’s like his attitude changes and Gandalf the Grey comes out againZ
Gandalf´s voice is so soothing here.
Now THIS is dialogue!!!
I love how the music hints at the theme when the ring is destroyed
That Sauron couldn't believe that anyone would DESTROY such power is amazing, and very applicable even today.
Last few moments of this is pure GOLD. Frodo wouldn't of been able to do this alone whatsoever.
That's a devestating exposition. What a flurry of wordsmithing.
“Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee. And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.”
I love Gandalf’s reaction to hearing Sam went with Frodo. He understood that Frodo was going to need someone to keep him on the correct path. To remind him what he was fighting for, as well keeping him fed and protecting him. And after seeing what Sam was willing to do to keep Frodo safe from Gollum, Gandalf made the right choice. I mean, hell, Sam even took the Ring when he thought Frodo was dead. If Sam wanted to, he could’ve finished the mission, but he understood Frodo made the choice to carry the Ring to the end, and was willing to honor his choice, even to the end.
this is practically the letter of the book but if feels so alive, there is a pair of actors to bring it to life
I love how gandalf just talks for 2 minutes straight and aragorn doesn't say a word all the time
The relief on gandalfs face when he heard Sam went with Frodo got me in my feels
“Sauron and Saruman are tightening the noose.” Chills man, what a monologue.
I love this knowing that aragorn and Mithrandir have been friends for decades before the events of the lord of the rings.
I've recently been reading up on the true ties of the heirs of Arnor & Gondor Aragorns claim has validation but not so much so that he could just waltz into the city and claim it.
It was his actions leading the attack on mordor healing the wounded after the battle of pelenor fields and the key to his eventual claiming of the thrown was farmer newly appointed steward supporting and stating the actions of aragorn over the years.
“I’ve made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. ‘Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.”
I love how all of the members of the fellowship are genuinely good people. They would never betray you
The relationship between Gandalf and Aragorn is one of the best in the trilogy
So many words to get out from him in two minutes.
I like good writing, acting, and directing.
1:16 you can hear the victory music when Gandalf starts talking about Frodo and the ring
Not victory, it's more about Hope I think
The small way Gandalf's eyes widen at 1:59 really convinces us he was unaware and then pleased as punch. A mark of Sir Ian McKellen's skill
The acting is top notch. Even this small snippet is moving.
Man, the extended editions of these movies are incredible. Each scene is just so well done. Written and acted well. The relief in Gandalf's voice and tone when he discovers Sam went with Frodo is great. "Good. Yes... very good." Prior to that you could see the doubt in Gandalf facial expressions and tone when he said they must depend on just Frodo, but he had to say it in front of Aragorn in order to show trust and belief in the strategy. You can also see the concern and doubt in Aragorn's face as Gandalf is saying it. However, the moment Aragorn tells Gandalf that Sam went with Frodo, there is immediate relief for Gandalf.
This is dialogue. And then we get "THERE IS A TEMPEST IN ME!!"
"The sea is always right"
Lol!
give me meat and give it to me raw
Such great form here. What could be a dull and vague exposition dump scene comes to life because of how it's presented: Gandalf beseeching Aragorn to step up and fulfill his destiny. McKellen is a huge part of that obviously. He's never not sold a scene in his entire life.
He shows so much emotion just thru his eyes, such a brilliant actor
0:00 - 0:09
I really, really love this shot. It feels like something out of a film from the early 70s to the 80s. The way Gandafl stands against the background, of which looks like a 70s matte painting. You're both invested in the shot because of the story and awed at how fantastical it is. Like many have said, many of the shots in these films feel like they could paintings on their own.
Gandalf clearly knows how important Frodo and Sam are to each other. He probably knew it even before they did. And it occurs to him that Frodo might have a chance of making it if Sam is with him, because Sam keeps him grounded within himself, and it's Sam's influence that builds Frodo's strength to resist the Ring. They're two halves of one whole and Gandalf knows it. Ian McKellen conveys it all in three simple words: "Yes, very good."
i love that Gandalf is shocked Sam is with Frodo, but at the same time is like, that's okay, Sam will protect him with everything he's got
This 2 minute clip from Peter Jackson's masterpiece is an immeasurably greater joy to watch than the entirety of Payne's & McKay's Rings of Power shitshow!!!!
You an really see Gandalf confidence growing when he hears Sam went with Frodo
He's not alone ... Smeagol's with him!
Amazing scene. Beautiful with the Sam stuff and also good that it explains Aragorns ancestry even further plus Saurons and Sarumans plans.
Love that it's included in the extended version.
This line read is pure perfection 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Imagine Guyladriel, Don Lemonlas and Discount Gandalf in a similar scene....hahaha....
Every single role in the three films was cast perfectly, you watch them back after all these years and it becomes more apparant
The extended editions of these films is the only way to watch them.
What a wonderful actor both of them!!
Ahh the cinematography... so good.
I love this scene when aragorn walk to gandalf talk about the heir of numeror.
The Holy Trilogy. Flawless perfection.
Aragorn: "Okay, I get all that but....I just got up to ask you which to the bathroom again?"
2 minutes and this feels more Middlearth than the garbage Amazon is peddling right now
Stones can only look down, that's why they sink!
@@Arominit Except pumice.
how he acts with his eyes is just amazing
Damn I’m about to rewatch the trilogies lol
unreal scene...goosebumps everytime. amazing actors.
It seems to me, gandalf was obviously playing the long game with this entire quest. Movies aside, gandalf was always picking those people usually underestimated by everybody else. In the case of Sam, I think gandalf saw inside Sam the desire to be of service. He was not tempted by the power of the ring the same as frodo, whose identity by the time the book ended became intertwined with the ring. He also saw in Aragorn a desire to be stronger than his forefathers. A quote I remember from a different movie, when you ask to be courageous do you get courage or do you get moments to be courageous? Gandalf I think is the representation of this belief that rather than receiving courage, bravery etc., you are given those opportunities.
the qoute you are refering too was from the movie evan almighty
I always loved how skeptical and nervous Gandalf felt when talking about Frodo in this scene. He’s so anxious and doubtful if Frodo can complete his quest. Then as soon as Aragorn mentions Sam going with Frodo, Gandalf’s face lights up with surprise and relief. He knew Sam was the one person Frodo could truly trust and depend on. Now instead of feeling nervousness and doubt, Gandalf feels a sense of hope and faith.
Seen LOTR so many times but, sitting here, caught myself smiling at the end of the clip. Just art this trilogy :)
I just realised, if Gandalf didn’t know Sam went with Frodo, then where did he think Sam was? He isn’t with them or Merry and Pippin, and Boromir is dead so did he think Sam was just alone out there somwhere?
"I made a promise Mr. Frodo. A promise! Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee. And I don't mean to, I don't mean to." Oh the look on Gandalf's face when he learns that Sam went with Frodo makes me so happy!
"Very good" is an understatement. The sheer amount of perfectness in this scenes makes me shiver evertime.
Primo acting. Love these movies, and the books written by Tolkien.
