And The Hobbit films did little to change this, with the Dwarves barging into Bilbo's house uninvited, and using Elrond's fountain as a bidet.,,, whereas in the book they showed up at Bag End up by invitation, while Elves made fun of the Dwarves at Rivendell.

Pippin is the son of the Thain of the Shire, essentially a ceremonial kingship created after the last King in the North died, making him the closest equivalent of royalty the Hobbits have. Merry is the son of the Master of Buckland, the leader in the Buckland, and although that's further away from being a royal equivalent than the Thain, it's still a high position with no one above them. Frodo doesn't have this sort of claim, but the Bagginses are effectively part of the Shire aristocracy. So really the only commoner in the Fellowship is Sam!

So awesome how Haldir addresses Legolas as the son of Thranduil, knowing full well he’s practically royalty.

Yes, Haldir allows the Fellowship to enter Lothlorien but with Gimli blindfolded. Gimli protests and Aragorn commands everyone to wear blindfolds. Legolas has a snit as he is an Elf and kinsman there. Aragorn convinces him to do so anyway and thus they walk for a while, with Gimli assuring Haldir that he will account for every fall and stubbed toe. Haldir laughs and assures Gimli that the journey will be as smooth. This does not last very long as Elrond sent word to Galadriel (likely his sons) and the blindfolds are removed, just in time for Legolas to demonstrate how Elves can cross a single rope bridge by simply walking on it. Later Legolas takes Gimli on tours of Lothlorien, something surprising.

But indeed, not to Frodo. I don't think it was intentional. I'm sure he exhanged words with everyone in the Fellowship in the books. But it's nice to speculate if you just go by the movies. One could say he stayed clear of Frodo because of the ring As an elf he'd know that the pull of the ring would be too powerful for him to withstand, maybe? The first thing Haldir says to Frodo is:" you bring great evil here" in quite an accusatory tone. He showed no empathy like:" oh you poor fellow, to carry such a burden". He was more like:" aw hell no, you ain't walking in here with that thing". Galadriel was the only elf to really speak to Frodo and she almost took the ring when he offered it to her.

That line of Boromir is a really good one. Absolute shame that one was removed. It made him look much more human and much less eager to get his hands on the ring all the time. Its a very gentle, yet true remark to make.

It was a hopeless situation for the warriors of Rohan (and Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf). Gandalf rode out to find the banished Eomer and the Riders of the Riddemark asking them to come defend Rohan. Elrond sent a large elven force, headed by Haldir (a Marchwarden of Lothlorian) to strengthen Helm's Deep. The orcs attacked in vast numbers, and the elves and men fought desperately. The orcs overrun the outer walls, and a retreat is called. During the retreat, Haldir stays as rear guard of the retreat to direct his elves and men to safety and is overtaken by the orcs. He dies from multiple sword/axe hits just as Aragorn rushes to his aid. Great cinematic moment, I remember being in shock seeing and hearing that great axe thunk/crush into Haldir's back... That Haldir - a great elf warrior - actually dies. It was a visceral, emotionally fraught moment. Still is whenever I see the scene. Eomer and Riders arrive at dawn the next morning with Gandalf, saving the day.... but they cannot save Haldir, the elves and the thousands who died in that battle.

I'm happy they released extended cuts for us fans. I'm not satisfied with how the Saruman plot played out in the cinematic cut. If I remember correctly, it isn't resolved as in: The question "What happens to Saruman?" remains somewhat unanswered. And regarding the Hobbit trilogy, the funeral needed to be in there in my opinion. All this talk about the Arkenstone and then the plot loses interest in it completely in favor of an overlong battle. I love the hell out of the Mouth of Sauron (although Aragorn killing him is the single dumbest thing in all six Middle-earth movies), but I totally understand that he's not in the cinematic cut.

In case you're curious about what Gimli said to Haldir, he spoke in the Dwarvish language called Khuzdul in Tolkienverse. He said, *"Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul."* In laymen's term, it's the equivalent of saying "I spit on your grave." The actual translation according to the source material is "May my excrement be poured upon your naked-jawed." Which is basically saying "I sh!t in your face."

Legolas actually says “we are in your debt” because in an earlier script, Moria orcs actually followed the fellowship into the woods and would’ve caught them if Haldir and co didn’t save them

They portrait elves so beautifully, a mysterious creature that lives peacefully deep inside the forest, and can only be seen when they wanted to be see.

Even after Legolas realizes it’s his own kind, he still defends his group 🥺

In the book, Haldir wouldn't allow Gimli in Lothlorian unless he was blindfolded. Of course, Gimli didn't like that idea, but he said he would comply if Legolas was also blindfolded, but Legolas didn't like that idea either, so Aragorn makes everyone get blindfolded until Lady Galadriel let's them take off their blindfolds, and Gimli was one of the first and only dwarves to ever gaze upon Lothlorian.

Words cannot explain how much I love the looks of Lothlórien. There's a couple of things the movies depicted perfectly or near to perfect: Moria, the Shire, Mordor, Isengard, or the vastness of the halls of Erebor. But there is one thing that's just so quintessential Middle-earth, that it has become my favorite part of the movie to watch. I am talking ofcourse, about the realm of the most powerful Elvish lady in Middle-earth. Lothlórien Going up the stairs beneath the golden Mallorn trees The movie's depiction of Lothlórien is nothing short of stunning, amazing and even true myth. At day, it's a beautiful golden forest. But at night, the gold becomes less dominant, and it turns to silver and dark green. This shift in colour palette is a subtle reference to the Two Trees Telperion and Laurelin (bet you overlooked that!), two ancient trees from before the First Age. One shone with silver light, while the other shone with golden. One waxed while the other waned, resulting in a beautiful mix once a day. The dark blue signifies the 'night' of Valinor - beautiful, yet dangerous. The music swells to wilder and louder heights as we approach the silver light of Telperion. The home of Galadriel and Celeborn: white and silver, the eldest of all realms, just as Telperion was the older of the Two Trees The design, the colour palette, the characters, the clothing of the Elves, just everything is so quintessential Middle-earth! And let's not forget the music! The book The Music of The Lord of the Rings Films by Doug Adams has a description that is spot on and enriches my love for it even more: In style, Lothlorien is the most Eastern and exotic of all the Elves’ music. This is Lothlorien as a land of mystery, scored with plaintive female chorus and a trickle of monochord, ney, and sarangi. The writing is emotionally unreadable - neither sad, happy, aggressive nor passive, but aloof… “Rivendell is more about learning and knowledge,” says Shore, “but this is different. This is a more mysterious world of Elves. They could be bad, they could be good - you’re not really sure… The voices carry it,” Shore comments. “This is Middle-earth of thousands of years ago. When I started doing research, I started thinking about Gregorian chants and so on.” The Sarangi, an Indian instrument that gives us the magic of Middle-earth. The book tells us that the style is based on that of a maqam hijaz, which is an Arabic style of music. I found a blogpost that talked a bit more on this: A maqām is an Arabic mode usually named after associated with a specific place. The “Hijāz” is Western Arabia, where Mecca and Medina are, hence, this post’s title. Each week, a different maqām is used by the cantors of Eastern Jewish communities during services on the Sabbath. Which one is selected depends mostly on the content of the weekly Tora portion… As it happens, hijāz - as you might guess if you’re familiar with the Lórien tune - is used during days of mourning (usually fast days) or when particularly sad events occur in the weekly portion. Source: LOTR, to the tune of Arabia The Lórien tune is the first theme we hear in the movie, during Galadriel's opening monologue: The world is changed (I amar prestar sen): I feel it in the water, (han mathon ne ne) I feel it in the earth, (han mathon ne nen) I smell it in the air...(han mathon ne chae) Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. (...a han noston ned wilith.") It's only fitting for us to hear it first, not only because it is closely related to Galadriel, but also because we are talking here about one of the oldest realms of Middle-earth (perhaps older than Moria). Lórien is the realm of Galadriel. Galadriel, here played by Cate Blanchett, is a beautiful Elvish lady which dominates the screen everytime we see her. She has seen the light of the Two Trees, she has seen the wickedness of Morgoth, studied under Melian the Maia and seen the forests of Doriath. Her uncle is none other than Fëanor, King of the Noldor and maker of the Silmarils. She is older than most things we see in Middle-earth. She was there before Gandalf came to Middle-earth. She was there before Rivendell was founded. She was there before Saruman came to Isengard, and even before Isengard was built. Galadriel outdates the fruits of Telperion and Laurelindon that became the Sun and the Moon. Did you get that? Galadriel is older than the Sun and the Moon. She outdates the way we even count our years. Now how do you depict that in a movie? That's the conundrum the production team faced, and they wanted to honor Galadriels incredible age. Their solution was simple and effective: during her close ups they had put up Christmas lights. That way, everytime we look her in the eyes we can see the reflection of the lights, resulting in beautiful sparkles and the glimmering of an ancient primal light. Lothlórien is where time has stopped passing. The decay of the world that normally comes was halted by the power of Nenya, the Sapphire Ring of Galadriel. It's a realm of Sindar Elves, ruled by Galadriel, a Noldorin lady from Valinor. It's by her power that the evil of Dol-Gûldur was kept at bay, and ever since the Enemy returned to that foul place it contested with that of the Lady of the Golden Wood. Feared by the Rohirrim, older than the oldest of the realms in Middle-earth, Lothlórien is one of the places where you can see magic. Not in the form of Power, or Domination, but in the form of Art, as Magic was meant to be. Lórien looks perfect.

The Hobbit would have been better if Jackson hadn't milked the cash cow by making 3 movies out of a single book. There really wasn't need for all the side plots involving Gandalf/The White Council. Maybe 2 parts max would have covered it.

One of the great joys for me about the trilogy, is just how the images, sounds and characters perfectly match up to the imaginings in my head. Who wouldn't want to go to this stunning Lothlorien? Gloriously " other worldly " , this is magical in every sense.

KenScottB Aragorn was raised by Elrond himself, there is no need to explain the Numenoreans. Legolas did not take Gimli's son with him, Legolas and Gimli himself rode together all their lives, and when Legolas took ship to leave Middle Earth it was reported that Gimli also came with him.

It is clear here how the engagement with pursuit force of Moria orcs is missing. They really seem to be in a hurry when entering Lorien. Then after Haldir shows himself, there is deleted footage where Legolas pulls up and launches an arrow through his companions, obviously into the goblins behind. Then there is more footage of Lorien elves checking the bodies of about 30-50 killed in a ditch. Obviously, the scene where there is night which follows, as Legolas says to Haldir - we are in your debt - is clearly him saying thanks for wiping out the raiding part which was on our backs! Although they took a pretty good care of those orcs back in Moria, now the space would be more wide and they could easily be outnumbered, surrounded by orcs, shot by arrows. And they were exhausted from the Moria battle and the Balrog pursuit which followed. Especially the little ones. Down Gandalf and with the hobbits having fought a great fight, but probably exhausted, the Fellowship was down to 4 fighting bodies. Also tired, and sad after losing Gandalf. So who knows how that would have went if Haldir didn't show up

I love the night scene up in the treetops. The worry, the negotiations, the tension of uncertainty, the seriousness of the matter, the noise of the trees, the night breeze, the foreboding music, Gimli leaning on his axe. All of it is great.

They did a great job portraying Lothlórien

I'm no Tolkien scholar, but I'm pretty sure that Legolas, son of Thranduil, comes from a different elven kingdom (land? nation?) than Lothlorien. He's not the Prince of the elves of Lothlorien, although naturally he is still given due respect once his identity becomes known. Likewise, Elrond, Lord of Rivendell, is also ruler of a different elven enclave to Lothlorien as well as Legolas's home.

He sees parts of this scene again in the mirror of Galadriel. I feel like it's a deliberately ambiguous scene. It feels like some of the fellowship are turning against him, just reading their stares - yet we know that's not the case. It's Boromir, the kindest of them in this scene, who ultimately gets corrupted. Perhaps it's Jackson's way of creating the beginnings of Frodo's eventual departure from the fellowship - based on a growing sense of worry that the ring will corrupt them all

The visuals of this trilogy still holds up so well. Practical effects may be more expensive, but they age so much more gracefully.
