Lord of the Rings: Is anyone else...

[Kirsten]

carole, I would love to visit all these locations, but I guess I could never affort that! LOL

From what I've read on the net, all the actors and crew have enjoyed NZ very much, and some, like Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), was thinking about relocating there...

countrycowgirl and G.P. girl, my fave Legolas moment was this:
Gimli: Who'd thought I'd die side by side with an elf?"
Legolas: What about side by side with a friend?"

Richard, yes, I think I will read that book sooner or later!


ramanth, it must have been so wonderful to be on that meeting in Toronto!

my fav. leogolas part was when they he and gimli were counting how many they killed. and legolas killed the big elefant with all the people on it. then gimli said it only counts as one

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who cried I spent the last have crying . I thought my husband and son were going to make me go to the car Couldn't move away as the theater was full.

my sister and aunt started crying in the first 5 minutes of it and didn't stop til the end i never cry in movies, bu tit was kinda sad, i really like the music in it

[Kirsten]

I'm just listening to the music, the cd has arrived today. Billy Boyd's song is really cool! And "Into the West" of course!

Yes, I agree, that was also funny!
My favorite funniest moment is when Galdalf spoke to Pippin before they met Denethor!
And when Pippin and Merry enjoyed their victory over Isengard!

During the movie, I only had to cry a couple of times, when Sam said "I can not carry it for you, but I can carry you!" Or when he told Frodo he would have married Rosie. Or when Èowyn killed the Nazgul: "I am no man!"

But from the moment Frodo walked through the rooms of Bagend and said: "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back. " I couldn't stop crying...

I pretty much cried thru the whole movie when I saw it the first time.... there were even times that I'd get control of myself and just hearing the rest of the people in the theater sobbing, I'd lose it all over again....

Some of the scenes that made me cry...

Pippen crying out Merry's name as he and Gandalf leave
Pippen's song
The battle of Pelannor Fields (especially Theoden's death)
Pippen finding Merry on the battlefield
Frodo sending Sam away
Sam finding Frodo and thinking he's dead
Sam saving Frodo
Okay.. pretty much all the Cirith Ungol and Mordor scenes... lol
"I can't carry it.. but I can carry you!" *sniffles*
Merry and Pippen thinking that Sam and Frodo are dead
When they all reunite (happy tears)
Aragorn's face when he see's Arwen (more happy tears)
Everyone bowing to the Hobbits (I actually sobbed aloud )
And of course the Gray Havens and Sam's last line in the movie (Which is the same line from the book that made me bawl)

There were other scenes that made me cry... but these I remember most..


"My friends... you bow to no one." WWWAAHHHH!!!

[Kirsten]

Yes, all these scenes you've mentioned have touched my heart, and, believe me, now listening to the music right now doesn't make it much better! LOL

Another moment that brought tears to my eyes was when the Rohirrim rode to battle, or Aragorn's speech after the black gate had opened "...but it is not THIS day" and "For Frodo!"
Or when the beacons have been lit, it was awesome!

Everytime I saw this movie, it's been such an emotional experience, even more than "FotR".

I am a huge LOTR fan. This year, I had to wait 3 days after the release to see it because I live in Germany and it was a pain finding a theater that played it in English!! I sobbed pretty much throughout the whole movie. Partly becuase it is the last one.

They are playing it on Friday at 10 AM at the theater on post and I have already purchased my tickets I did read some where that Peter Jackson will be doing The Hobbit.

[Kirsten]

DoggiesAreTheBest, I'm also living in Germany, and I also don't want to see it in German. In Kassel, which is close to my hometown, they played it in English, but now it is cancelled because not too many visitors had come for that version.

Now I have to wait for the dvd to see it again!

Have a lot of fun on Friday!

Yes, I'm sad it's over I'm still hoping that PJ will make 'The Hobbit' into a movie!

I've started re-reading (again) the trilogy to get my LOTR fix for now
