@@Dragonpuncher123 I think is because Gollum is one of the deeper character in TLOTR, and he has been written (and adapted by PJ) beautifully. In a dimension where the line between good and evil couldn't be more stark, Gollum is one of the very few characters that shows ambivalence, and as a result it appears weirdly relatable. When he does something bad and as readers/spectators we are about to make our mind to hate him for good, something else always happens to bring us right back in the muddled zone: He should die for creeping on us, but Gandalf tells us not to be so hasty in our judgements; He's revolting, but we get told he was just like us before the ring corrupted him; He's leading us into a trap, but without him we wouldn't have been able to reach our destination in the first place. And in the very end the mission is a success literally because of him. Gollum is a masterpiece of ambiguity, and I think his nature speaks to us of a universal level, regardless our background, race, and culture.

He was reliving his youth and the song at the end was wonderful even though it embarrassed his relatives. Pure gold. Please please make sure all three get to watch Return of the King.

Also fun fact, when they shot the scenes where Aragorn and Gimli and Legolas were running to catch the Uruk-Hai, they were filming the actors run over multiple days - and Orlando Bloom had a broken rib at the time from a previous scene injury but he told them to commit and keep filming and they completed it all in one go. Everyone from the cast were 110% committed to giving it their best. Truly a quality of production and dedication we are unlikely to ever see again.

It is so refreshing to see people just enjoy watching a movie without criticizing everything in it. I’m hooked. These men are so pure and genuine.

It's so funny, now that there are two older gentlemen, the younger totally steps back and respects their seniority. I would have still liked to hear a bit more from him though.

It's nice to know that cultures still exist where elders and their opinions are respected. If this was three Americans or Europeans the youngest would do all the talking while rolling his eyes at his 'embarrassing' older relatives. Never change guys. You are doing it right.❤

Not because of youth, but Raeen is my favorite. He is really sharp, and a good man to boot.

I like how they talk for so long after the movie ended, it shows real interest from their part.

The thing I notice is how excited they are about individual scenes, which is something that is often overlooked these days. Love that.

Would love to see you guys show them some of the behind the scenes material from the movies! (after watching Return of the King of course) a number of their comments indicated they seemed curious about where it was filmed, how certain things were made etc, and it was a major labor of love for Peter Jackson & all of Weta Workshop :) I definitely think they would appreciate it. Thank you so much for making these vids! Love seeing how timeless and cross-cultural Tolkien’s themes are!!

The scene where Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli the dwarf meet Gandalf is one of my favourites: she was shing with light and it was like meeting an angel. It was perfect because Gandalf *is* an angel. He's a spirit, a heavenly messenger who lived in a human body. When he died his spirit ascended to the heavens but Eru Illuvatar (the One God of the world Tolkien Created) sent him back and gave him a new body.

I wish they had shown Badshah the first part, but the thing is, most of these people are excellent storytellers. I think he will get just as rich, if not a richer experience from them telling him the story in more detail later. I’m sure this is a story they will tell everybody back home.

They're so invested and it's incredibly touching.

And this time the length of the movie was not enough for Babu - the mastery of J. R. R. Tolkien is global, calling deep within all of us, born in 1892 and dead in 1973 itself must have been an epic intellectual journey. Now, I cannot wait to see the boy's faces again. Fantastic video.

Hey guys, you know what watching this has made me realize? You guys should totally buy a really nice projector and sound system. I lived in a little South American village up in the mountains for about a month twenty years ago, and they had such a setup. One man would ride a stationary bicycle generator for about an hour every morning, and this would charge it up enough that the entire village would come out and watch a movie together at night. These were some of the best and happiest times of my life, and seeing all the villagers enjoy a movie together like that touched my heart so much that it changed the course of the rest of my life. I really think that not only would the villagers enjoy it very much, but our heroes (Babu, Raeen, Sarru, Badshah and the rest) would probably also love very much to share their favorite movies with friends and family.

Great idea! We do that here on the side of the superstore with a projector on the car since we have no drive-ins anymore. This way the grandkids get a sort of drive-in experience. 🖖🏻🇨🇦

Can't wait for them to see part 3! Badshah said "Here's Raeen's best friend" lmao!

This is the most interesting reactions ive seen I liked how they called Gollum a Djinn.

Seeing them cheer on Eowyn to be a fighter was pretty cool. I thought they might say “what does she think she’s doing” or something like that.

@abbiejo6822

I always enjoy seeing people's reactions to Eowyn. I think most people appreciate a courageous woman who's willing to fight and sacrifice for others regardless of what different traditions have had to say about gender roles through the centuries. After all, the character of Eowyn was written by a WW1 vet starting in 1937 and Western cultures had very different ideas about the roles of women then compared to now, but she was written even MORE badass in the books than she was in the movies. Not a perfect character, but very real and understandable and absolutely badass when it came time to take care of business.

I love how so many people watching lotr for the first time think that the light at the final rohhirim charge is some Gandalf spell, and here they correctly say that its the sun rising :)

Watching their reactions is as close as I can come to reliving the experiences I had watching these movies on opening day.

This is some of the best content I’ve watched on KZread for a very long time

I love the spontaneous breaking out into song.

"Uncle Gandalf" makes my heart smile

*“If he comes in front of me at night, I will pee in fear”* Gotta remind myself to quote this next time I play LOTR Charades.

Since they admired the wide shots so much, I would love to see them react to a video about New Zealand. Particularly one that's explicitly about the filming locations of LotR.

I said on the second Avatar video how I'd like to hear their recap they gave to Badash, it would be really interesting to see how they remember it and how they frame the story when explaining it to someone else. I understand wanting to get right in to the review though so you don't lose people's interest, so maybe you can post those as a kind of extra? I bet a lot of us would be interested.

I can understand why you would cut it for this video but I hope you'll release a video of just them catching their friend up on the plot of the first movie, I'm very interested in hearing more! Also very much looking forward to RotK!

YESS! Thank you for showin them the second part. Now let's get to the third! Their commentary is exellent. They understand everything. Stories where good is fighting evil. No matter what culture we come from, we understand thit. And I love how they call Gandalf "Babaji", a guru. And I love how they were so overjoyed when he came over the hill of Helmsdeep with the Rohirim army. The imagery and the epic music gripped them and they were cheering. This really restores my faith in humanity.

I love when they compare the landscape to their home, I don’t doubt their comparisons either. Very awesome.

They really enjoyed part 2, I'm glad ; I'm impatient too for them to see part 3, it will be great ! Doesn't matter where you are from and our cultural differences, a great movie is a great movie for everybody and The Lord of The Rings is one of the very very best, thank you for showing them !

These guys are awesome. Great trio.
