"To enter the Forbidden Pool bears the penalty of death." This is not just some arbitrary rule, there's a good reason for it. The waterfall that feeds the pool hides the entrance to the cave that Faramir and his men are using as their secret guerilla base. They are operating in a very dangerous no-man's-land between Gondor and Mordor. They can't risk the enemy discovering their base.

Many reactors are confused by Gollum's treatment for swimming in the Forbidden Pool. The pool is forbidden because Faramir and his company are a commando force operating behind enemy lines, and the pool lies just below their hideout, behind the waterfall (Henneth Annun). That said, this is another place where the movie parts company with the book. In the book, Faramir treats Frodo and Sam with courtesy and helps them on their journey; they never come at all to Osgiliath.

I can forgive the movie for Faramir taking the Hobbits to Osgiliath more easily than I can forgive them for the pointlessly brutal beating of Smeagol. In the book, Faramir imprisons Smeagol overnight and speaks somewhat sternly to him, but is otherwise courteous and kind even to such a corrupted being. It is one of the things I loved most about him when I first read the books, and that scene in the movie turns my stomach every time.

Yeah, you can't put "No Trespassing, No Swimming" signs up around a hidden base.

That final speech that Samwise gives, always gets to me 😪

"Show them no mercy!" Frankly, given what the Uruk Hai look like, I can't see how anyone could muster any mercy for one of them.

The actors who play Boromir and Faramir do happen to look very much alike. I'm sure that was a factor in at least one of them getting the role.

You were right about Arwen choosing "one mortal life" with Aragorn, but Elrond is pointing out that Elves have little-to-no experience with the death of their loved ones. On a side note, Arwen's mother, Celebrian (who happens to be Galadriel's daughter), was tortured by orcs and did go to the Undying Lands to be healed, so she does have some experience with parting from loved ones.

So, "Treebeard" is just a name that he allows mortal races to use for him. Gandalf refers to him as Fangorn (the forest was named for him) and his true name in Entish would take like a week to say, because in Ent culture, a name is almost like a story about the thing's history, and tends to get longer with age

The line from this movie that has resonated A LOT with me recently (meaning the last few years) is between Merry and Treebeard. “This isn’t our war.” “But you’re part of this world!” It just feels incredibly relevant.

11:11 - The jewel, the Evenstar is a symbol of Arwen’s love. Arwen, like her twin brothers, her father, her uncle, & her paternal grandparents are Half-Elven who are given a choice to keep their “grace” & remain elves or give up their grace & become mortal. Elrond is 6,000 & already chose, from a very young age, to keep his grace. Elrond’s twin brother, Arwen’s uncle, & Greeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaat grandfather of Aragorn, Elros chose to become mortal. He then become the 1st King of Númenor & lived 500yrs. Arwen, this she’s almost 3,000y/o, has yet to make the choice. IF she chooses to become mortal she will still have a longer life span than Aragon. Just like her uncle did when he chose to become mortal. 11:43 - idk if anyone told you this but Galadriel (blonde “elf witch) is Arwen’s maternal grandmother.

Yeah, the movie glosses over the whole half-elven thing and loses the connection that Aragorn and Arwen are related.

Really enjoyed rewatching with you... On to the final one!

To clarify things about Elrond & his daughter Arwen (& Aragorn by extension) therefore we must look at Elrond’s Twin Brother Elros, they both were half-elven brothers who can choose to be mortal or immortal because of their parents(Eärendil and Elwing) both half elven made a great sacrifice and went to Valinor to ask for help which lead to the greatest events in the early first and second age. Instead of being punished, the valar listened to them, that led to a great hosts of Valar and Maiar And Vanyar Elves went to Middle Earth that laid waste to Beleriand. After the War Of Wrath, the valar rewarded them for their sacrifices. They can choose to be elf or men, including their children. They chose immortally, but never return to Middle Earth because they thought that their twin sons had died. But they didnt die. Elrond chose to be immortal while his twin brother Elros chose to be mortal. He founded the Kingdom of Numenor. He lived in Numenor Island and blessed with a long life that include his descendants Those men who fought for the war were rewarded a long life but not their families or children. Only the family of Elrond can choose to be immortal or mortal in which Arwen did. Aragorn is the direct descendant of Elros, thats why he has a long life. The average lifespan of a Numenorean at their height was a few thousand years maximum! Now remember too that half elves are a common thing and whenever they did come together it was always significant !❤❤❤ Remember this is the SHORT version, there are so many moving parts that will make you want to dive into the books or the audio books or even do reaction videos to the famous lore videos by the biggest lore channels out there! When you’re done the trilogy try doing reaction videos just like Moviejoob did now with the lore recently as well as OmarioRPG. I recommend videos by GirlNextGondor and The Red Book, and Tolkien Untangled and especially Men Of The West. Many other cool ones I’ll recommend in the comments section of those reaction videos you do from Tolkiens Legendarium lore videos. They are super engaging. You’ll be in love. Nothing would have existed if Tolkiens works never hit the light of day as they were meant to stay private and sometimes be shared with his children and so on. No Game Of Thrones. No Skyrim. No ElderScrolls, No World Of Warcraft, no Dungeons&Dragons. None of it. Not even Star Wars. Not even Harry Potter! They took inspiration from his works which were souly to give back a forgotten history of the Anglo Saxons that had their culture & history destroyed as the larger empires were riding around them. His works reflect the Elder Edda(Norse) The Kalevala(Finnish) and the Welsh people from Wales as well as Irelands cultures of the Tuatha De Danaan as well! His languages are fully fleshed out too resembling Finnish & Welsh • By the way Elrond is around 6870-8000 years old & nearly a full Elf year (as they age very very differently to Men) is close to 144 man years (solar years for them) they experience the TIME and the way men experience it but their clock is different! They live as long as the world/Arda/Ëa does. Essentially. Which is why they are so I synch with the world around them and the nature responds to them ! Think of when Legolas walked ontop of all that snow on the Mountain of Caradhras!! They continue to endure as long ad the world itself does. (Arda) Galadriel's Phial (gift to Frodo) is something really special. light & dark have a spiritual dimension in Tolkien. way back before the First Age Valinor was lit by two very special Trees that waxed & waned in opposition to each other. a master craftsman Elf named Fëanor fashioned three gems that captured their light, the Silmarils. everyone who saw them was captivated by them, even the Valar & Morgoth the first Dark Lord. wars were fought over them called the Kinstrife. after Morgoth had the Trees destroyed the Silmarils were the only light from them left. they changed hands a few times & eventually one was left after one fell into the sea & another was lost in a pit of magma. a Half Elf named Eärendil (the first one!) came into its possession & sailed it to Valinor as a gift to the Valar to ask for their help in defeating Morgoth, which they did. the Valar turned it into a star & hung it in the sky with Earendil as its guardian. the fountain of Galadriel's Mirror is lit by light captured from the star Eärendil & her Phial has water from the fount. I've left out about 90% of the story but it's quite important & central to the story of Middle Earth. for her to give the Phial to Frodo is quite extraordinary. its light does burn & blind Shelob (that's the spider's name) but doesn't kill her outright. oh also, before he was put in the sky to guard the last Silmaril Earendil had two children, Elrond & his brother Elros the first King of Numenor. Tolkien's lore is deep & vast & the Silmarils are at the center of it. The Star of Eärendil is the light that shines in the horizon both in the morning and the evening. It consists in a boat raised by the Valar and led by Eärendil, who carries a shining Silmaril while watching the Doors of Night. The Door of Night was a portal in the distant Uttermost West that leads to heaven, and/or the Void. Eärendil's ship Vingilot was taken by the Valar from the rim of the world, passed through the Door and was lifted into the "oceans of heaven". PS: Eärendil is ELROND’s half Vanyar Elf half human father, that father was the son of the great Tuor of the great stories of The Children Of Húrin book!❤❤❤❤ Aragorn is a CLOSE descendant of a direct bloodline to Elros(Elrond’s Twin Brother)

The Rohirrim: "Leave the wounded. Save the horses!"

I'm pretty sure Sauruman is the only one really at war. Sauron is scouting. Like Gandalf said, Sauron does not share power. If Sauruman had won he could of turned his army on Mordor given that a large part of Mordor's army is the men of the east. Could have quickly made it a race war and maybe even had Mordor's orcs defect to his side. But since he got wrecked at Helms Deep and his logistical base in ruins, all he's done is clear the way for Sauron to come out on top. Sauron let the pawn go in first.

Gandalf's "magic" rests primarily in the counsel he offers people. You will find that he rarely issues commands. His "magic" usually has to do with fire -- fireworkds, lighting up dark caverns and such, related to his mission in Middle Earth is to "light a fire in the heart of men."

Helm’s deep is one of the most epic battle sequences ever. I can rewatch it over and over again. You’re right about Legolas’s eyes. Orlando Bloom couldn’t handle wearing the contacts. I think it was too much effort to cg them once he didn’t use them which is a bit disappointing. Anyhow, a top tier movie and I can’t wait for Return of the King!

Good thing Saruman didn't have an army of evil beavers ;-)

The one thing Sauron feared most were The Númenóreans

Believe it or not, the scene with Faramir, Boromir and their father wasn't in the theatrical cut. It has lots of meaning and weight in such a short scene. And without seeing it, you don't see or understand much of what's happened or their relationship.

Super cute reaction Evie. I laughed when you made fun of Theoden's arrogance! 🤣🤣🤣 I think you would very much enjoy the comedy of the books, as Tolkien has a very sly sense of humor that Peter Jackson doesn't seem to fully understand.

Sam's speech from the book: “Yes, that's so,' said Sam. 'And we shouldn't be here at all, if we'd known more about it before we started. But I suppose it's often that way. The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of a sport, as you might say. But that's not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn't. And if they had, we shouldn't know, because they'd have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end. You know, coming home, and finding things all right, though not quite the same - like old Mr Bilbo. But those aren't always the best tales to hear, though they may be the best tales to get landed in! I wonder what sort of a tale we've fallen into?' 'I wonder,' said Frodo. 'But I don't know. And that's the way of a real tale. Take any one that you're fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it don't know. And you don't want them to.' 'No, sir, of course not. Beren now, he never thought he was going to get that Silmaril from the Iron Crown in Thangorodrim, and yet he did, and that was a worse place and a blacker danger than ours. But that's a long tale, of course, and goes on past the happiness and into grief and beyond it - and the Silmaril went on and came to Eärendil. And why, sir, I never thought of that before! We've got - you've got some of the light of it in that star-glass that the Lady gave you! Why, to think of it, we're in the same tale still! It's going on. Don't the great tales never end?' 'No, they never end as tales,' said Frodo. 'But the people in them come, and go when their part's ended. Our part will end later - or sooner.”

Not only is he a descendant of Numenor, but he is also a tiny bit elf (Technically, he's Arwen's extremely distant cousin)

When Frodo tells Sam that he wants to help Gollum because he has to believe he can "come back," he's really talking about himself. He sees what the ring did to Smeagol and is terrified that he will end up the same way. That's why he snaps at Sam. To Frodo, it feels like Sam is talking about him.

45:15 No, no, Frodo and Sam were way not in the same forest as Merry and Pippin. Merry and Pippin were in Fangorn forest, adajecent to the misty Mountains, Isengard and Rohan, far more to the west of where Frodo and Sam were, who were at that point at the border of Mordor far more to the east. The entire land of Gondor is inbetween them.

Excellent reaction. Can’t wait for the 3rd one.

Arwen is like 2,500 years old. Her grandmother is Galadriel who is over 6,000 years old. Arwen';s mother, and Elrond's wife, is Celebrian who was tortured by Orcs and went to the Undying Lands in the west. Arwen becoming mortal and staying with Aragorn means she will never see her mother or other family members ever again. Elves call death the gift of men because in death they spend eternity with Eru Illuvatar, the One Father, the Creator.

If this was a real world situation, the boys of Rohan would’ve been training in swords & horsemanship since they were tall enough to hold a sword or sit a pony. So they wouldn’t look quite so helpless & scared as they do in the Helms Deep arming for battle scene. But, if this was a real world situation, Theoden’s son and his nephew Eomer would both be married w/several heirs apiece by now. The same could be applied to Boromir. It was very bad judgement for him not to be married & a father by his age, just for pure political/line of succession reasons. 🤷‍♀️😄

The ents Marching song in the book; We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom! We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-rūna rūna rūna rom! To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone; Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone, We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door; For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war! To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come; To Isengard with doom we come! With doom we come, with doom we come!

The movies miss most of the history and lore behind the world. There are also some major plot points and character development that are wrong with the movies but that being said the movies are great in their own right. Aragorn is from a race of men that track their ancestors back to the elves. This is why they are so log lived. By all rights elves are immortal. Once they grow up that is it they live forever. Reading the books you get the understanding but the movies skip over it to give you more of an action story. This is the age in which magic is fading away and men and industry have taken over this Middle Earth.
