I keep forgetting that “hi I’m johnny knoxville and this is a ceaseless hell of our own making” isn’t like a big tumblr meme bc it’s a screenshot from mancrushes dot com that my friend sent me once that only we know about. That doesn’t stop me from saying it every day tho.
instant classic
I saw a joke about Howard Shore managing to make a scene as simple as 9 guys and a pony walking past a rock one of the most memorable epic scenes in history, which made me rewatch the "The Ring Goes South" sequence but no. That's an understatement. Yes the scene would never be what it is without Shore's score. However, there is so much meaning in a scene as simple as this. Everything is looked after in excruciating detail and the reason we consider this scene (along with most LOTR scenes) so special is that it gives to our subconscious numerous information about the story, the main characters, their personalities. Look how much of it there is in few seconds.
Gandalf is the first to pass the rock. Gandalf is thus the leader, the guide. Being first is also linked to him being a higher being, as Wizards (or the Maiar) were kind of demigods. Gandalf moves fast, fixated on the horizon - at the path they have to take - and doesn't stop or look anywhere close to the camera. Gandalf is driven. He carries the responsibility of leading the fellowship to its goal. Gandalf also shortly adjusts his hat, showing us that the weather conditions are and will be harsh and against them.
Legolas is the second to pass. Legolas lingers slightly and looks around, his hair flowing. Him being second has two meanings: a symbolic and a literal. He is the second highest being after Gandalf but also he must be at the front as he is the ears and eyes of the fellowship since he has the most acute senses. This is why he is looking around, not just to make the hair flow. He is looking out for danger and possible enemies. But also him looking up high, the hair flowing gracefully, his steps being lighter than the others' - all these underscore the ethereal nature of the elves.
Gimli comes third. He does a quick left and right glance while Legolas is still on focus but after that he passes quickly and without any flamboyance. It shows the contrast between elves and dwarves. Gimli's job isn't to be the ears and eyes - his job is to kill the enemy once he comes. That's why our focus is on his precious axe. Gimli's gaze is fixed on the ground - a symbolism of the dwarves dwelling in the mines under the earth.
He and Legolas are skilled fighters and they are the front guard of the fellowship because one has the dexterity and acute senses and the other has the resilience to not allow whoever might escape Legolas to reach the real targets.
The real targets are the physically weakest beings in the fellowship, the hobbits. This is why they are in the middle, because they must be protected from all sides.
Frodo comes first, as he is the protagonist and the ringbearer. He is also by far the oldest (this isn't in the movies I think) and, in general, the most respectable and precious member of the fellowship. Merry and Pippin follow, in that order as this is always how we refer to them, and (almost) always together.
Sam is last and is half hidden behind Pippin and his pony Billy. He doesn't look at all close to the camera, unlike the other hobbits. He is of a humbler background and he is pragmatic. He is the gardener and here his role supposedly is to take care of others. He is to be the unassuming hero, hidden behind the animal and the supplies and the nobler hobbits.
Brave but mortal, always treated as expendables regardless of status, the men are the rearguard.
Boromir is brave and ready to protect. He will be the defender, as hinted by his shield. He fills the screen in reasonable but noble regalia and is kempt, besides brave being also proud and confident and of significant lineage.
Quite the contrary to Aragorn, for whom the camera actually angles down to show him. This is probably because the camera shows all members as they pass the rock but it shows Aragorn before he gets past the rock. Maybe there is a change we wait from him still, an upgrade to his final version, of sorts. Aragorn almost seems left behind and alone. He doesn't look at all anywhere close to the camera. He is fixated on his path. His eyes are casted downwards. His attire is modest to say the least. He stays behind the son of the Steward of Gondor, who is still the governor. It shows how Aragorn respects and understands each and everyone's place, even though he is the rightful heir. He is humble and above personal rivalries. He remains behind, ready to protect everyone with neglect to his own safety. Ready to be the first to fall, if that is his fate, as long as he saves others.
This is a wonderful analysis, and I fully agree that all of this was very purposeful on the part of everyone involved. Especially because, this was the final shot in the very first teaser trailer that aired in theaters. I can still remember the visceral and overwhelming excitement I felt when I first saw it. The immense joy I felt at seeing characters I loved so much, brought to life on screen, before my eyes.
The teaser was released a year before the first film premiered. Which means that shot was very purposefully finished explicitly for use in said teaser. That shot is intended as the introduction, the first impression to the world, of these characters. And they nailed it. For all the reasons op stated above.
when people talk about writing ‘the next Lord of the Rings’ they think it’s all about the wars and the languages and the histories, and Aragorn brooding in the corner of an inn and the Balrog roaring in Moria and the ruins of Isengard, and that’s how we got Game of Thrones and several dozen cheap fantasy knock-offs every year, not to mention whatever nonsense the Amazon show is going to produce
but Tolkien’s wars and languages and histories stemmed from his love of creating - of words and history and mythos - and that love infuses into everything he writes, and if you miss that then there’s no way in hell you can replicate it
and the people who want to write the next Lord of the Rings because they want to write the next epic don’t get that the story is about the hobbits’ soft and simple lives and Bilbo’s poetry and Sam’s love language being food and Eowyn discovering hope after depression and Gandalf making fireworks for hobbits even if he is a literal angelic being, and Aragorn weeping over Boromir’s body and Theoden’s kindness to Merry, and Beregond betraying his most prized orders to save Faramir, and the unlikely friendship between Gandalf and Pippin, and the even unlikelier friendship between Legolas and Gimli, and Sam and Frodo singing to each other in Mordor, and Boromir sacrificing himself for the hobbits, and Sam’s simple love for Rosie, and the restoration of the Shire, and the friendship of the Fellowship surviving down through the ages, and peace after war and hope in darkness, and the love between a gardener and a gentleman pacifist being literally the only thing that saves Middle Earth
and that is why people who try to recreate Lord of the Rings by starting with war always get it wrong. you have to start with the love, or it’s nothing: just another empty history

everyone on here always worried about “oh im a different person around different people so what’s my actual identity?” bitch take a drink of water and listen to brennan lee mulligan saying “people are like gems, right? they have facets to them, and some of them only get exposed within certain relationships” and maybe you’ll calm down

I don't even know how to feel about these
Unlike billionaires, pickpockets often recognize they have a lot in common with the potential victims of their crime.
This reminds me of Rhys Nicholson the comedian who got mugged and the mugger said "I promise this isn't a hate crime, my sister is a lesbian im pro gay rights"
something I’ll always stand by is that the magnus archives deserved every bit of hype it got. That show was genuinely so fucking good
Frenchie: We'll be right back, me and Black Pete need to go check on the ring bear
Stede: It's pronounced "ring bearer"
Frenchie: ...
Black Pete: uh-
Ed: Look at me right now and tell me you didn't bring a wild fucking animal to our wedding
Frenchie:
Black Pete:
