The Lay of Leithian is an unfinished poem written by J. R. R. Tolkien in around 1925. It tells the tale of Beren and Lúthien, the story of the love of the mortal Man Beren and the immortal Elf maiden Lúthien. The poem consists of over 4200 verses. It was published after Tolkien's death in The Lays of Beleriand.

"I will tell you the tale of Tinuviel", said Strider. "In brief, for it is a long tale of which the end is not known - and there are none now, except Elrond, who remember it right as it was told of old." He was silent for some time and then he began not to speak, but to chant softly: The leaves were long, the grass was green, The hemlock-umbels tall and fair, And in the glade a light was seen Of stars in shadow shimmering. Tinuviel was dancing there To music of a pipe unseen, And light of stars was in her hair, And in her raiment glimmering. There Beren came from mountains cold. And lost he wandered under leaves, And where the Elven-river rolled He walked alone and sorrowing. He peered between the hemlock-leaves And saw in wonder flowers of gold Upon her mantle and her sleeves, And her hair like shadow following. Enchantment healed his weary feet That over hills were doomed to roam; And forth he hastened, strong and fleet, And grasped at moonbeams glistening. Through woven woods in Elvenhome She lightly fled on dancing feet, And left him lonely still to roam In the silent forest listening. He heard there oft the flying sound Of feet as light as linden-leaves, Or music welling underground, In hidden hollows quavering. Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves, And one by one with sighing sound Whispering fell the beachen leaves In (the) wintry woodland wavering. He sought her ever, wandering far Where leaves of years were thickly strewn, By light of moon and ray of star In frosty heavens shivering. Her mantle glinted in the moon, As on a hill-top high and far She danced, and at her feet was strewn A mist of silver quivering. When winter passed, she came again, And her song released the sudden spring, Like rising lark, and falling rain, And melting water bubbling. He saw the elven-flowers spring About her feet, and healed again He longed by her to dance and sing Upon the grass untroubling. Again she fled, but swift he came, Tinuviel! Tinuviel! He called her by her elvish name; And there she halted listening. One moment stood she, and a spell His voice laid on her: Beren came, And doom fell on Tinuviel That in his arms lay glistening. As Beren looked into her eyes Within the shadows of her hair, The trembling starlight of the skies He saw there mirrored shimmering. Tinuviel the elven-fair, Immortal maiden elven-wise, About him cast her shadowy hair And arms like silver glimmering. Long was the way that fate them bore, O'er stony mountains cold and grey, Through halls of iron and darkling door, And woods of nightshade morrowless. The Sundering Seas between them lay, And yet at last they met once more, And long ago they passed away In the forest singing sorrowless.

Hi Dawn so glad you are reacting to these amazing films and enjoying them, Saruman is portrayed by the late great actor Christopher Lee who also played Count Dooku in the Star Wars Prequels, he's also the only actor in the trilogy who actually met J.R.R Tolkien and he actually wanted to play Gandalf but by the time these films were made he realised that he was to old so was happy to play Saruman a much less demanding role as he didn't do any horse riding or fighting, anyway looking forward to you reacting to the rest of this trilogy.

17 years passed between when Bilbo and then Gandalf left the Shire and when Frodo and the other 3 hobbits left. Frodo was 50, Sam 38, Merry 36 and Pippin about 29. In hobbit years you're not an adult until you turn 33 so Pippin is basically a teenager.

This is all New Zealand. The cast had to stay there for nearly 2 years to film all the sequels. Between this series and the Hobbit series, Peter Jackson actually built Hobbiton, a true hobbit village in New Zealand where part of the Hobbit was filmed and is now a tourist attraction. For the first three movies, they just had a few fronts built, and a set for the interior shots.

I think Dawn's reaction is going to be one of my favourites. Since I'm both a Tolkien fan and a language nerd, hearing Dawn pronouncing Mordor and Sauron with those rolling r's and sau- as sow- (female pig) really tickled my language nerd bone. From here on it'll be great.

With that pendant, Arwen symbolically gave up her immortality to be with Aragorn. And if she didn't leave for the Undying Lands soon, then through her love she will literally become mortal like Aragorn, and can no longer go to the Undying Lands with her people.

Gandalf was on top of Orthanc, the tower located in Isengard, where Saruman, the wizard that went rogue, lives. Barad-dûr is the tower in Mordor, where Sauron, the owner of the ring, is, and where you see his eye.

In 1966 the most elegant guitar solo since Django's Minor Swing (listen to it NOW) - courtesy of Eric Clapton - hit the radiowaves like sirens sweetly singing. The song is called I Feel Free. I was thirteen, I had no guitar, no money. Then Cream came to L.A. - Whiskey a Go Go and the Santa Monica Civic. Sunshine of Your Love ruled the airwaves. Another breathtaking solo. I was 14 I had no guitar no money no chance. 1968 Cream comes to the Forum in Inglewood CA. and they blew the house down. Deep Purple opened and no one remembered. In 1969 a friend loaned me a Harmony Archtop -(guitar made in Chicago, IL.). He taught me 3 chords. I had no money and I had a borrowed guitar. Pop Quiz: What art form enveloped me? Clue - 3 chords.

There are still 1000 things about this trilogy that can move me to tears, but watching it again through your eyes should increase that by a factor of 10. Cue the waterworks and thank you Dawn Marie.

You called Sauron “sauerkraut”. Instant subscribe.

Bilbo was a special Hobbit who helped Gandalf, which was why the Elves let him stay with them. As a person who withstood the influence of the Ring so well for so many years, the Elves respected him and the service that he had provided for the sake of Middle-earth.

In the book, the Hobbits did actually suggest tossing the Ring into the sea. Unfortunately, that's not a permanent solution. There's always the chance it could wash back on shore, because so long as the Ring exists Sauron will continue to be a threat no matter how many times he's defeated.

What a great reaction so far. I love that you let yourself be delighted by the jokes, and you cheer with the successes. So glad I've come across your channel.

The Hobbit occurred before the Lord of the Rings. It shows how Bilbo got the ring and about the Dragon. Most of the outside scenes were filmed in New Zealand.

"How did he find it?" "You shell see. Oh yes, you shell see."

In fact the swamp with the bugs is called 'Midgewater' in the book!

That whole bunch of Hobbit mealtimes they mentioned wasn't just a joke in this movie, they are canonical in the books. Hobbits like to eat lots of meals. Now watch as "Strider" throws them some apples over his shoulder to keep them quiet, but they act like they're just raining from the sky. 😄

Somebody else may have answered your question already, but the movie was filmed in New Zealand (where I'm from). If you ever visit, there are sites of where the movie was made that you can still visit.

The Tower bit is explained ONLY in the Unfinished Tales Book: In [manuscript] C The Black Riders arrived at the Gate of Isengard while Gandalf was still a prisoner in the tower. In this account, Saruman, in fear and despair, and perceiving the full horror of service to Mordor, resolved suddenly to yield to Gandalf, and to beg for his pardon and help. Temporizing at the Gate, he admitted that he had Gandalf within, and said that he would go and try to discover what he knew; if that were unavailing, he would deliver Gandalf up to them. Then Saruman hastened to the summit of Orthanc - and found Gandalf gone. Away south against the setting moon he saw a great Eagle flying towards Edoras. See, the thing is he was always master of studying the enemy and even being able to think like they do to always know exactly the best ways to handle ever situation and so on, but the thing is he didn't just become the enemy, he at this time in a sense for once actually grew afraid of him, probably Sauron did what Sauron did with Finrod Felagund(Galadriel’s elder brother who by the way was very important in the legendarium) which basically widdled Saruman with various visions of the past and future until it wore him down.

Love it when you try to remember Sarumans name and you say……sauerkraut. ”Same same, but different.” 😉

"That's a shame that ugly little man lost his ring". Well folks, I can safely say that is the first time I've ever heard this take on LotR 🤣

Geek fact: Isildur was misrepresented in the films (for time) he is actually the only character in LOTR who was a ring bearer who made the decision to willingly give the ring away and understand he could not wield it. He overcame his initial pride, he recognised his mistake and made the decision to amend this mistake. - he did not at all represent the failings of the strength of men but one of its greatest most selfless acts. The film makes the Last Alliance of Elves and Men and the Seige of Baradur (Saurons tower in Mordor) look like it happened over a couple of days when it in fact lasted 12 years. The Siege of Barad-dûr depicted in the films lasted for Seven years, the climax being Gil Galad and Elendil fighting Sauron and while they were both killed they managed to defeat him and Isildur cut the ring from Saurons finger with the broken sword of Elendil, Narsil. Elrond was not at this event as shown in the film and Isildur did not pull a stupid leary face and say 'the ring is mine' to Elrond - the films make him look like a bit of a dick. Elrond and Cirdan did counsel Isildur to destroy the ring and it was the wrong choice to not destroy it. This choice was not the simple selfish one shown in the film though. Isildur was one of the Faithful of Numenor, it was him that took the fruit from the tree of Nimroth and had to fight his way out and was badly injured in doing so. It is from this fruit that the white tree of Gondor was grown. Isildur was forced to flee the destruction of Númenor with his father, brother, and the few Men who remained uncorrupted (and un-human-sacrificed) on the island. Isildur had been subjected to years of watching Númenor’s decline into wicked and vile deeds (which was due in no small part to Sauron’s evil influence) and seeing his home brought to utter ruin as a direct consequence of this evil was likely deeply traumatising for him, which was likely only compounded when, having washed up on the shores of Middle-Earth and begun to rebuild, he learnt that Sauron himself had survived, when Sauron popped by after another century or so and captured Isildur’s new home, the city of Minas Ithil. Anárion, Isildur’s brother, was killed during this conflict. Then, of course, his father Elendil is killed a year later in front of Isildur and this is when he cuts the ring from Sauron. We do not know what Elrond or Cirdan said to Elendial, but we do know they both had their own rings of power as did Galadriel which were wholly dependant on the One Ring for their power - which allowed Galadriel and Elrond to be as powerful as they were and make life in Middle Earth very much bearable for the Elves. Galadriel herself says to Frodo, '..your coming to us is like the footsteps of doom'. When he takes the ring and destroys Sauron, its a victory but is also mixed with sadness, grief, anger and vengeance as Isildur has lost his homeland, brother, father and many of his people to Sauron and been at war for over almost two decades. To want to keep the ring when he was feeling like this and take it as 'were-gild for his father’s and brothers death' and the ring would have started exploiting these emotions immediately. Isildur didn't go to the cracks of doom and then not throw the ring in the fire as Elrond shouted at him to do so, they had a battlefield discussion about what to do. Isildur was not overtake by the power of the ring and the 'strength of Men' did not fail and Elrond did not say this, it was something made up for the films. Instead what happened is Isildur stays in the South in Minas Tiriph restoring the kingdom after the war and repairing the damage. He has inherited the Kingship of both Arnor and Gondor but he gives rulership of Gondor to his nephew Meneldil, he is not lusting after more power and dominance. At the end of this year he realises the One Ring is too powerful and it is a corruptive force and decides he cannot keep it - which is impressive in itself. In fact when Isildur is attacked and killed by Orcs he is travelling to Rivendell as the first stop on his journey home to Arnor with the specific intention of giving it to the keepers of the other Elven rings of power Galadriel, Elrond and Cirdan. In The Book Of Unfinished Tales, in the chapter 'The Disaster Of the Gladden Fields' Tolkien writes that the Orcs were badly beating Isildur and his men, his son asked him to use the ring to help him but Isildur replied: 'Alas, it is not, senya. I cannot use it. I dread the pain of touching it. And I have not yet found the strength to bend it to my will. It needs one greater than I now know myself to be. My pride has fallen. It should go to the Keepers of the Three.'

I like to think that, while the ring was with Bilbo, the spirit of Sauron was so bored to death, that maybe it considered to settle down a little. Grown some pumpkins, try some Pipe. (I know it didn't happened, it's just a joke XD)

The giant eagles are a ancient race kinda like elves. they are almost immortal and more intelligent than any other species but they breed rarely. And consider their lives above mortal lives. Gandalf saved the king of the Eagles and so they come to his aid if he calls. That is the message he sent with the moth.

Reactions to the reaction 1. Sauron - "Sour Ron" - probably the Professor's student's nickname for him! 2. Isildur's death - the books give two versions of the event, and what we see here matches neither of them. 3. In the book Merry and Pippin were manipulated by Gandalf to become Frodo's companions, and they joined the quest separately. 4. ...Yes, that's exactly what he had in mind. 5. In the book, Frodo was rescued by Glorfindel (who's he? just guess) although (long story short) he faced down the Nazgul alone, aided by the flood which was magickally engineered by Gandalf. 6.

The main villain Sauron or Gorthaor (The Abhorred) is but a lieutenant of the supreme evil Melkor(He who arises in might) or Morgoth(Black foe of the world).When Melkor was cast into the outer darkness by the ruling spirits (The Valar).Sauron or Gorthaur took over his kingdom.

He is, forever more, Sauerkraut to me.

so I'm just starting this out & I'm making a prediction. the movie will end & you will say 1) "is that all? I must watch the rest right now!" & 2) "it's over already? it didn't feel like 3 hours"

Discovered your channel with this video. Even before the reaction portion started, I had subscribed. I was taken with your cheery character and charm. Was confident you were someone who would have a genuine and entertaining reaction. You did not disappoint. Cheers from another soul with Celtic roots. Sláinte!

In case you were wondering, the wizards are not human, Oh, and it was filmed here in New Zealand 🤣

I see it that way: The Two Towers and the Fawlty Towers and the same time ;)

Is something I do love about Tolkein he was a linguist, he'd basically make languages up (like Elvish in the movies or the books he wrote with the appendices as well are how to learn it essentially, like when Jackson the director included them on how they made them (the movies) in a similar vain) just for the fun of it. The kind of intro description for Tolkein on his wiki page reads (can't always advocate for wiki's accuracy though lol): "John Ronald Reuel Tolkien CBE FRSL (/ˈruːl ˈtɒlkiːn/, ROOL TOL-keen;[a] 3 January 1892 - 2 September 1973) was an English writer and philologist. He was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. From 1925 to 1945, Tolkien was the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and a Fellow of Pembroke College, both at the University of Oxford. He then moved within the same university to become the Merton Professor of English Language and Literature and Fellow of Merton College, and held these positions from 1945 until his retirement in 1959. Tolkien was a close friend of C. S. Lewis, a co-member of the informal literary discussion group The Inklings. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 March 1972. After Tolkien's death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about a fantasy world called Arda and, within it, Middle-earth. Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these writings. While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien, the great success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings led directly to a popular resurgence of the genre. As a result, he has been popularly identified as the "father" of modern fantasy literature-or, more precisely, of high fantasy, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential authors of all time."

19:34 "Ride hard." LOL

No, the tower Gandalf was on top of is Orthanc, where Saruman lives in the land of Isengard. Sauron's eye is at the top of Barad-dûr, the watchtower in Mordor, which is quite a distance away. The eye as a literal object is only in the movies, by the way. In the books, Sauron has a more normal form, but is hidden away, influencing and corrupting from a place of safety for himself.

I usually get “annoyed” when reactors get the names wrong, but when you said Sauerkraut I spit out my drink laughing😂
