@@Yaimiee though at Helm's Deep, the Rohirrim were damn lucky. When they first charged they were as good as dead as the Uruk-Hai stood perfectly to receive a cavalry charge. The Gandalf shines his light, the pikes rise and the Uruk-Hai are as good as dead, letting the cavalry hit home with full into a thightly-packed bunch of enemies unable to concentrate their fighting power against them. Btw.: The charge of the Rohirrim on the Pelennor (before the Mûmakil arrive) is how a real cavalry charge works in RL. Start slowly, get faster until you hit the enemy together as one great mass. They actually kill more orcs with their horses than with their weapons.

Each scene Haradrims are dominating, there's no score in background nor is there any soundtrack, just pure battle sounds of absolute carnage. You can just listen to the scene to feel brutality and destruction. And then, score returns each time, Men of Rohan get upper hand in battle, as if giving a glimmer of hope. Brilliant decision, whoever made it in editing room, Oscar worthy!

That's a really cool observation. I feel that the Haradrim almost have their own soundtrack: the war-chant with which they introduce themselves. Even though Howard Shore's score is playing during that portion, the chanting dominates the soundscape, and it sounds more like a note on the soundtrack than an in-universe sound effect. It can be heard a little bit during the battle, especially at 2:21, and it almost serves as a replacement for the score that is now missing. It's the Haradrim's music, so it plays as they dominate the battlefield.

I love how the music immediately cuts away when the two armies clash and you feel the reality of the power the mumakil have

Harad is supposed to be a huge collection of tribes, not a disciplined, highly organised fighting force like Gondor is *supposed* to be. Gondor is literally translated as ‘land of stone’. They are the rock that holds firm against Mordor. They are supposed to be highly disciplined, organised and capable in combat. Rhun however, yes they are a disciplined, organised fighting force, and probably the closest human faction in this regard to Gondor. I’ve no idea why you think they’re a mass of unorganised soldiers, we don’t even see them fight, so how did you even reach this conclusion? Your argument regarding their land being arid is just complete and utter nonsense. Are you under the impression that heat gives strength? Let me tell you something, cold is far more difficult for a human body to withstand, go ask a Viking. Secondly, Gondor is a hot country aswell. Thirdly, you clearly know nothing about LOTR as bloodlines are extremely important in this universe and Gondorians are direct descendants of Numenor and would therefore be stronger Men individually than evil men from the south and east.

I'm glad Éowyn gets to show off she really is a humble badass in the extended versions. In the theatrical release you don't really get to see her do half as much and even after killing the Witch King she seemed a bit of a wet towel. This added so much more to her.

Take them head on! CHARGE!” He looked at a problem so immense, yet he grounded himself and charged right towards it.

I love how each oliphaunt is different. They have different facial coverings from each other. Some have spikes on the tusks, one has the wire stretching across the bottom tusks. There’s the few that have another set of tusks roped to the lower tusks. It’s details like these that just make them feel so much more real.

Hands down one of the greatest scenes in cinema history

When I was a kid, maybe I was 4 or 5, I saw that scene once when my father was watching this movie during my afternoon nap. Because of that, I truly thought for some years that THESE were legit elephants, and that elephants were that big in reality, and I thought it was truly amazing. A few years later, my mother took me to a zoo and I was so excited to see elephants in reality for the first time in my life. During the first half of the visit, I was a bit surprised we were not able to see the elephants from the other parts of the zoo. Something that big (like 20m high), I thought we would have been able to see them from a distance. I already imagined giant fences like the ones in Jurassic Park to ensure these gigantic animals don't try to escape and I was even a bit afraid. When I finally saw them, I was mike "Mum, why is there only baby elephants ? Where are all the big ones ?" and she did not understand what I was talking about. When she finally explained to me, I was a bit sad that elephants were in fact "small", but quickly I started being absolutely in love when I ended up seing an actual baby elephant. He was so cute 😍 What astounded me the most however was the giraffes, one came to the fence and she was sooo big compared to me at that time 😁 Still nowadays, elephants are one of my favourite animals, and one of the most precious souvenir I have from my now late mother is a necklace with a silver baby elephant I bought to her a few years after this day at the zoo ☺️ I'm still a bit sad to be honest that Mumakil aren't an actual existing species in our world, but I guess it's better this way, when you see how much devastation a single "normal" mad elephant can do in Africa or India 😂

well, lets be completely honest. Rohirrim are basically shock cavalry. Even with the rohirrim the forces of men are still far outnumbered. They have to play to their strength to even have a remote chance of winning (the book tells that even with the rohirrim arriving the balance was slowly tilting in mirrors favor. Bringing the horses into the city basically completely removes their strength. A sieging army of this size cannot easily shift into a defensive position against shock cavalry while still keeping the pressure on the city. So Theoden had to do whatever he could to make sure his riders kept up their momentum. The Elephant charge effectively made it impossible to freely deploy the cavalry on the field. He couldn't leave them unchallenged. (in real warfare elephants were never a real threat to cavalry. But since Mordor doesn't deploy Warg riders you can basically think of the oliphants as the enemy cavalry. In nearly every single historic battle you will first see the cavalry trying to chase the enemy cavalry from the field so they can freely deploy and use their strength against infantry lines)

@TheVergile

5 жыл бұрын

sometimes in history breaking the sieging army and reinforcing the defenders was the main goal of a cavalry charge and enough to tip the power balance. But Mines Tirith was ultimately not defensible. Their best hope was to use the shock and momentum of their charge, initiate a counter attack from inside the city and hope for a rout. If you have superior cavalry there rarely is a chance to recover from a full-on rout.

Remember, when you have challenges, remember the words of Theoden King. “Reform the line, Sound the charge, meet them head on. CHARGE!”

In the book it is Merry who effectively kills the Witch King. He stabs the Nazgul in the leg and his Arnorian blade breaks the spell that binds the Nazgul's will to his corporeal existence. In the film there is no Tom Bombadil, so no Barrow Downs or Wight and no Arnorian/Numenorian dagger. The Arnorians originally buried in the barrows were fighting The Witch King when he was in Angmar and their weapons were designed to be potent against him.

I owe my uncle the biggest thanks for taking me to see The Fellowship of the Ring when it first arrived in theaters when I was 9 years old. That movie had me absolutely hooked to the franchise so much that I had my parents buy me the books so I could read them, without even comprehending what was truly happening. My Uncle and I made a habit of seeing every part of the trilogy when they released in theaters. I’m glad we got to witness this incredible cinematic masterpiece together before he passed away. Now, as an Uncle myself, I plan on sharing the wonder that is the LotR trilogy with my own nephew once he is a bit older.

To this day, almost 20 years later, there isn't a movie as spectacular as The Return of the King, 11 Oscars when they meant something.

That transition never fails to give me goosebumps. The expressions of the Rohirrim changing from joy and victory to astonishment and fear, then the camera showing the line of advancing Mumakil. The driver blowing the horn, and the Haradrim chanting as they prepare to kick ass. *Chef's kiss.* Perfection.

Theoden just just scream to his men to bring forth the bows and arrows, then when the elephants are closing theoden's men shoot arrows at the same time as theoden's men move backwards. it will basically be a arrow fight between the arrow-men on the elephants vs the arrow-men on the ground. Ghosts may not even be needed to win the war.. // Expert

That's one of the byproducts of using more real effects than relying on CGI. CGI should only really be used when it's impractical or impossible to achieve the same result with practical effects. I remember there's a really good video which compares Terminator 2 (which used overwhelming practical effects) with the latest Terminator film (in which basically everything was digital), using that comparison to explain why you should go for the real thing. It's a unique comparison because the latest Terminator basically reused the key premise of Terminator 2 and a lot of the key action scenes, so you get to see what the same scene looks like with real effects vs digital. TLDR of why these older films look better is that you can't fake a lot of the important details with digital. An orc made of CGI just won't move and interact with the world in the same way a living being does, i.e. an orc made with makeup like in these films. Impacts, cloth and fluid are examples of things you just can't replicate. Explosions too.

4:35 I think that makes Merry the only hobbit in the Fellowship to have killed another human.

My favorite part in the entire series is when Aragorn tells the hobbits, "My friends. You bow to no one." Always gives me chills and reminds me how staying true to one's self and friends is a victory.

I never realised that during the battle you can hear random soldiers shouting commands in the background like "keep behind them" and "come round and we'll charge them again". It makes the battle so much more realistic and lifelike as it's not just the heroes giving great speeches but the individual soldiers are shouting to each other trying to keep coordinated while fighting. It makes it feel like these are living breathing people fighting not just robots smashing into each other in wave assault. 2:36 to 2:45 for example. You might need some good headphones to hear them clearly.

Wow. I've been watching this since it came out in theaters and never even really took that detail in. Thanks! And great catch - the dedication to making every single beat feel as authentic and rich and visceral as possible is always evident in this trilogy! Cheers

I've voiced random soldiers in battle scenes before, and usually they let you improv based on context. They play the scene, you agree on which soldier you are (if onscreen) and the general content of the chatter, and you just say them in a group. It's actually a very standard thing for group scenes nowadays.
