They feel a darkness cloud their mind. They feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and a pull stronger than gravity itself. For her to have absolutely no visual negative reaction while dancing and speaking calmly betrays how literally everyone else reacts to the ring's presence. It makes it feel like less of a "test". Jackson wanted the audience to feel the burden of the choice, how difficult it was for Galadriel to make, and how relieved she was to be able to resist it. I think Tolkien painted that picture as well in his writing.

As opposed to people saying Galadriel sounds flippant, I would say you can hear some coldness and bitterness creep into her voice when she describes her vision of the terrible power she would wield, and her laugh is the laugh of a woman who has struggled with the choice to give up all she loves to help defeat evil. It's like what I imagine a long recovered alcoholic might sound like if offered a shot by a youngin at a bar. Idk I wish people wouldn't pit Bakshi's and Jackson's art against one another: they are both masterpieces in their own right.

I don't hate Jackson's take, in fact it was my introduction to Tolkien. But he is not above criticism and his choice was very Zack Snyderish. Have you ever read Frank Miller's 300? That infamous scene from the movie "Madness? This is Sparta..." played out way more calmly, Leonidas almost gently shoves him into the pit. It is casual, matter of fact, almost chilling. It tells you that for the Spartans this is Tuesday and killing to them is like eating your breakfast. No great pleasure in it but there is no taboo attached to it either. Unlike Jackson there is a visual reference in that case, but it is the same nonsense. We can't have it be calm and nuanced, we gotta have Leo scream in this Persian's face and drop kick him which paints a very different picture.

I like Peter Jackson / Cate Blanchett's Galadriel in general, but I think this scene is a far truer adaptation because of the laughter and general tone. Yes, addiction is a good comparison - she has already struggled long with temptation and expected that someday she would be sorely tested. She wasn't in much danger of trying to seize the Ring by force like Boromir, but now she could just take it without even having to do any evil! I agree it's a mistake to hear her as flippant. It's a dark humor cutting through underlying dread. I hear her laugh as a mixture of surprise, relief, and warmth for Frodo. Genuine surprise at Frodo's level of innocence. Relief, because he has set her with an even harder temptation than she expected, but one which is, ironically, made easier to resist by its very brazenness and Frodo's very innocence. Galadriel knows full well she would be corrupted by the Ring despite her best intentions, yet Frodo idealizes her and believes she could be trusted with that kind of power. I've always read Galadriel's speech as, in part, explaining to him just how wrong he is. And I think she is glad, because Frodo's heart is actually purer than her own and his example makes it easier for her to accept a bitter fate for herself and her people - accept that the price is worth it to do right by the goodness in herself and the world at large. In a perfect world we could have had a film Galadriel who is mirthful AND appears as a terrible goddess, but alas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As he throws you to your doom, or the man who yells it and kicks you? In a way, you expect the angry approach's attack whereas the calm man is unpredictable. In this animated version; Galadriel is whimsical, as if she's danced with this temptation thrice over. She knows -exactly- what she'd do with the power so she knowingly rejects the offer from Frodo. She paints this illustrious idea of what she'd do with the One Ring if she had its power and we can see Frodo and Samwise despair at the idea. She knows the price of evil and rejects it.

She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful" She's supposed to seem beautiful, powerful and at the same time frightening.

Closer to the book and just better overall. I never would've remembered this cartoon scene, but the PJ version was memorable as hell before I even understood what was happening.

2:05 I feel like this is the one fleeting moment where she feels the temptation to take it, just that subtle widening of her eyes as Frodo offers her the ring. The speech that follows is where she has already realised that she has passed the test, and won’t take it after all, hence why she seems so light hearted during the delivery. Enchanting performance by the voice actress, and equally entrancing animation.

Something that I think is explained more in the Bakshi film is why the Elves are leaving for the Grey Heavens in the west. 1:49 "If the One Ring is destroyed, all we built with the three rings will fade. Time will come here, and Lothlorian will fade. You are the foot step of doom to us, Frodo". In the Peter Jackson films, they all say it once, near the end of the series. Most of the time, all that's explained in the Jackson films is "The time of the Elves is over."

Arwen's and Aragorn's lines are of the same ancestry, and his half-elvish ancestors chose mortality/men, while Arwen's chose immortality/ elvish existense.

There is something about the Animations before that is so calming and so highly imaginative and affective. I really miss this kind of animation.

I only vaguely remembered watching this movie as a kid... But when I did, I was captured by this scene. It stuck in my mind because of how beautiful the backgrounds looked with the characters. It's like they're floating through space,with a fountain of white glass between them.

I keep coming back to this scene. I haven't read the books, but I love this portrayal and the beautiful voice acting - such a different perspective.

So beautiful.

I dont get it... why is galadriel not wearing plate armor and an insufferable smirk on her face? #notmygaladriel

I love how she's talking to Sam, but she's actually warning Frodo.

This galadriel is like a fairy in a disney movie .. kind and gentle and earthly . Cate's version is more mystifying and celestial .

The ❤️ of a father is the masterpiece of Nature...

"All shall love me and despair" Galadriel said *calmly.*

As much as I dearly love the Peter Jackson films and Cate Blanchett in general, I've always preferred Bakshi's take on Galadriel. I know we all have quibbles about which version of this particular scene is more "accurate," but the thing that always stands out is that THIS is the Galadriel and Lothlorian I would personally find difficult to leave. There's an aching quality to their beauty that preserves their alien nature while drawing us in - it makes me understand Gimli perfectly when he says: "Torment in the dark was the danger that I feared, and it did not hold me back. But I would not have come, had I known the danger of light and joy. Now I have taken my worst wound in this parting, even if I were to go this night straight to the Dark Lord. Alas for Gimli son of Glóin!" Tolkien's elves are difficult to get exactly right, not least because we have nearly 70 year's worth of additional fantasy literature that's muddied the water since LOTR was originally published. They're meant to be strange, alien, and a little aloof, but also beautiful, cheerful, and generous. Jackson tips the needle a little too far towards the former and Rankin/Bass swings a little too much toward the latter, but Bakshi manages to find a pretty good balance. It's really a shame he didn't get to tell the whole story.

Its easy to forget how beautiful Ralph Bakshi's version was at its best moments like this. The poor quality of tha later parts stick in the memory more

Notice Rings of Power Show runners she doesn't need a Palantir or a sword!

My late brother took me and my best friend to see this in Toronto at the University Theatre, which no longer exists. The place was packed...and enthusiastic. I hold the memories very close.

personally i loved this version of Lord of the RIngs when i was a child. I still get goosebumps now when the dark riders walk around in the scenes.

The way Galadriel realise what she can gain if she take the ring, what she thinks she can do with it, and then the realisation that it was a "test" of her resolve against temptation of power. You just don't really get that in this version...

This Galadriel just radiates motherly love, its not bad but neither is just better than Cate's Blanchett's Galadriel, they are both different ways of depicting Galadriel, one is mysterious and gracefull, this one is warmth and as I already said, has that motherly love tone to her, both are just beautifull depictions of our Lady of the Galadhrim.
