Don't forget about deflecting the knife and ~~Rudy~~ Sean cutting his foot in the water. And also Andy Serkis actually jumping into a volcano for mocap

Also when Dom stepped on that huuuuge splinter π΅
The first 30 or so minutes of The Fellowship of the Ring are pure happiness to me.
That's the effects Howard Shore's Shire theme tends to have on humans with good taste π
Seriously, I generally consider that I can easily be moved by the musics I like, but few lift my spirits like this one. And also give me deep nostalgia.
This is a huge part, yes. But for me it's also all the greens, the communal innocent happiness and not to forget, the anticipation of the whole experience ahead.
Same but with a 30 minute intermission where I explain to my kids who everyone at The Council of Elrond is.
I don't get it... Why are you crying??
Sometimes the world seems so messed up that the simple goodness of hobbits and the brotherhood of dwarves hits different.
Itβs like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didnβt want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, itβs only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Yep, that. That right there. It sends me. It is so hard to hope some days, but it's so precious too.
Just so damn good!
Also tears of happines that you are watching LotR
Only when Aunt Irma is visiting.
Calm down Gimli, we're not all carved from stone!
Relax. I cried when I saw Balin's tomb, remember??
Anyone else find a big change in style between fellowship and two towers forward? Fellowship has always felt like a British film to me, in its look, tone, pace, etc. Two towers and rotk, felt like Hollywood productions in terms of all that stuff.
If you read the books it's very much the same thing though, I never managed to read them a second time because going through the first one again was too boring...
I find the first movie to be a bit of a slog as well when rewatching
I've never thought of it as British, but I do agree it's much less Hollywood than the following movies. The end to RotK also feels similar in tone.
