for me the best movies ever made

pure cinema, music, epicness, good carachters, all. all . all

youtube.com/watch?v=q8ir8rVl2Z4

>You will never return to Middle Earth

It's held up so well, so incredibly well. A real work of art.

Thank god it was made just before the SJW got complete control of production process. They would have forced diversity into the entire project to "improve" it and ruined it.

If it was made today Aragorn would be black, Legolas would be a woman, two of the hobbits would be gay, Gandalf would be a trans mulatto. etc. It would be garbage. We've lost so much. They've turned everything to shit.

Howard Shore really made a masterpiece.

The Lighting of the Beacons is my absolute favourite, there's so many themes in this trilogy that still give me goosebumps every time.

>tfw Andrew Lesnie died

The Appendices get harder to watch every year...

at this point i'm expecting to be an old man before I see great movies again, perhaps when China takes over

Sauron was very unwise to lower his defenses.

what Sauron wanted to take?

To this day I'm astonished that LoTR trilogy was actually made the way it is.

A bunch of nerds who REALLY loved Tolkien's works and had necessary skills and dedication were somehow given $300 million dollars to make this happen. No studio execs fucking everything up, no actor drama, no cash grabbing, no shortcuts.

If you watch behind the scenes documentaries, you'll see e.g. a guy who's only job was making chain mail for actors. He was sitting there everyday for years linking those little rings together, and the director could trust that he will make the best fucking mail in the history of fantasy movies.

How was all this allowed to happen?

We got really fucking lucky. I doubt we'll see such a thing happen again in our lifetime. These movies actually involve craftsmanship and true passion by everyone involved. Something like that just doesn't happen anymore on movies of this scale.

I'm sorry to say but the Chinese can't make kino.

how would that change the characters though

If you get the special extended editions and watch the appendices (the huge making of) you will love the movies even more. How hard everyone behind the scenes worked and really believed in the project and bringing tolkiens world to life, how much the actors loved working with each other. The making of the movies is almost as entertaining of a journey as the actual movies

If it was made today, all of the Fellowship plus the major elven characters, Eowyn and Faramir would all use Whedon-speak

don't forget 1.5 years of pre-production

that's absolutely bonkers
such a thing will never happen again

You mean how like the hobbit got made a few years ago and every character remained the same with only a few black extras in the local village?

especially astounding considering this is before the glut of capeshit and a scant few decades after the Heaven's Gate fiasco

>China
>kino

they can't even make good kino, any decent attempt will probably end up worse than the Hobbit, and probably way more tacky

FotR >> RotK = TT

you know this to be the patrician ranking

>your coming to us is as of the footsteps of doom

We were also linked to the ring. When the ring is destroyed it is the end of the world we once lived in. No longer will we ever see that world again, not in the way it used to be anyway.

a true patron of the arts knows that the trilogy is one film divided into three parts. ranking them is like ranking the acts in three-act play, it just doesn't make sense.

>The Lighting of the Beacons

Holy fucking tits. That fucking scene.

>trilogy marathon in a local cinema
>this scene comes up
>goosebumps all over the body
>holding back tears
>talking to my friends afterwards
>"I don't get the beacon scene, it was so boring"
>"yeah the cgi on the flames was really bad"

I couldn't even muster a response

>Thank god it was made just before the SJW got complete control of production process. They would have forced diversity into the entire project to "improve" it and ruined it.
>If it was made today Aragorn would be black, Legolas would be a woman, two of the hobbits would be gay, Gandalf would be a trans mulatto. etc. It would be garbage. We've lost so much. They've turned everything to shit.

If you ever need to be reminded what a 2016 LotR trilogy would have looked like, just look at the Hobbit.

was that friend a woman per chance?

one of the few salvageable scenes, goosebumps everywhere

youtube.com/watch?v=Pyy_FIYE7EE

Man, I remember watching every movie of the trilogy at release.

I actually started tearing up at the end of RotK realizing it was fucking over.

He was gay.

So... sort of?

fits well enough

>when someone dismisses LOTR as "nerd shit" or "just stupid fantasy" or "obviously fake"

>when someone cant appreciate the story, the writing, the acting, the set design and effort that was put into bringing this world to life

actually the best way to tell a pleb

we will never get something like LOTR again, and that is a crime against film.

I've still never met one person who didn't like LotR, except for a few that said they didn't but never watched it. LotR being a masterpiece is almost something everyone, everywhere can agree on.

THIS.

How can you not be close to tears after the lighting of the beacons or the ride of the rohirrim? fucking hell these people are so dull.

you mean the hobbit movie where they added an elven love interest, a new role for legolas, and 2 hours of extra plot based on a made up character that works for the king of laketown?

>lotr thread yesterday
>everyone shitting on it saying they outgrew it and it aged badly
>lotr thread today
>everyone praising it for how well it was made and how good it still is
Make up your mind Sup Forums.

They had a casting call for Hobbits. It specifically stated they wanted white Europeans, because Hobbits are white.

A Pakistani girl showed up deliberately and made a huge stink saying why can't Hobbits be minorities, screamed racism and threatened to sue. Google it.

Jackson and the producers were so scared of the discrimination lawsuit that they put the Nigerians in Laketown and promised to be more inclusionary.

If the made LotR today the same thing would happen.

Haha yeah, that guy apparently even lost his fingerprints from all the friction his fingers endured.

I don't remember exactly which armor of what character, but i remember seeing the behind the scenes and they were talking how one or a bunch of breastplates had even been ingraved with designs in the fucking inside part that would never in a million years be visible.

If that's not great autistic dedication and love for your craft i don't know what is

I was so fucking hyped when I saw/heard that song/scene, that I was literally in tears.

Sadly, I was in for a great fucking disappointment. It's all downhill from there.

These movies are going to be landmarks. Future generations will wonder at their craftsmanship.

I wish every Sup Forums thread was as comfy and nice as LotR threads.

They were trapped because it was a prequel with existing and established characters.

Bilbo was a white male in LotR. Same with Gandalf and legolas. They couldn't change the dwarfs because they were all related from the same clan. They were really limited on the amount of diversity the could enrich into the film. It must have made them furious.

If you want to see what it looks like when someone has a free hand in 2016 look at the death star scene during The Force Awakens. Every human member of the rebellion is a minority or a woman. Every human member of the Empire is a white light-eyed European male, and one blonde white woman who never takes her helmet off. Look at the good guys in Rogue One. Look at the bad guys.

It's 2016. If LotR was made today the fellowship would be mostly minorities and the orcs would look a hell of lot more like white guys.

I always cry during this scene: youtube.com/watch?v=2H4Q_aA4QiQ

shit, even the bad orc in the hobbit is literally fucking white

The opening scene of The Two Towers where Gandalf and the Balrog are falling together always gives me goosebumps. What was the music in that scene?

This is my favorite scene
youtube.com/watch?v=EmTz7EAYLrs

>tfw that thumbnai
DONT DO THIS ME user
YOU CANT MAKE ME CLICK IT
YOU CANT ME FEEL THOSE FEELINGS AGAIN

and?

>just got crowned king of the greatest kingdom of man
>starts singing out of nowhere like a tree-hugging elven hippie
Literally cringiest scene.

And it would be dogshit as a result.

>"My friends... you bow to no one."

Truly the greatest way to die.

how Gandalf the white was so weak against the leader of the nazgulls?

he seems hopeless

youtube.com/watch?v=a_1EVCVYjO8

That wasn't in the books. He'd fuck a Nazgul up no problem

Hold me lads

more?

>be masturbating to 5 or 6 taps of interracial BBC porn

>remember I need to save the white race

Thanks for saving me user. I just don't know why I love BBC so much.

Apparently the singing in the background is Dwarvish.
Mettanna
Nárendur!
An mauya mahtie.
Mettanna!

This translates to
To the death
Servant of fire
You must fight
To the death

All the orcs were white and azog was even a white orc with blue eyes. I guess you could say these were orcs of the north and a different 'kind' of orc than you see in Mordor

lol

is there a scene in this triology that isn't a masterpiece?

youtube.com/watch?v=K3I8I_i8Syw

even simple scenic scenes with blaring music still give me goosebumps like at the end of this clip

lmfao what a fucking cuck people actually cried during this?

>mfw those scenes

Well the books are that good.

I hate how this song was only in AUJ.

>downhill

Aha, I see what you did there. Unexpected Journey is literally 3 down-hill chase scenes after this set-up.

>mfw

>six deep in middle of formation
>ass hurts
>I can't hear Lord Theoden
>Everyone is shouting
>Jesus H Fuck that is so many fucking orcs
>I wish I was at home in my scrublands with my other horses

Daily reminder that Men are the master race.

such a rarity it wasn't even allowed to happen the same way when they did the hobbit.

youtube.com/watch?v=d0Mtlklmna0
rev up those feels

youtube.com/watch?v=XYS5W4jnAt8 is the track that really does it for me

The all-encompassing sense of wonder at discovering something beyond time and imagination

Tolkien set out to create a myth unto the British people and I'd say he succeeded in creating something that resonates so deeply that it's difficult to describe

Does a good job of encapsulating it

Just shut the fuck up with your conspiracy nut bullshit

The sense of the unknown is one of the most valuable things a person can have

As we get older we lose that as we learn more and more, and become stubborn in our ways. We stop accepting that we know nothing and that there are many mysteries

Things such as LOTR shove it back in our face that mysteries can be created daily. A peek into Tolkien's mind, a peek into a mythology that now rises above his influence

A conspiracy? It's not that. A conspiracy takes place in secret. Not in plain sight.

the music in this scene along with the great directing are just unreal

How do we trilogy the Silmarillion
1.tale of the noldor and the set up for the war of the jewels
2.Beren and Lúthien quest
3.childern of hurin/tale of Turin leading to melkors fall

There's so much source material in one book it's hald to set it into 3 films

I think LOTR is one of the few films where you can get almost the same experience of watching the films just from listening to the soundtracks. It's pretty apt that Shore gets compared to Wagner a lot, I mean it's almost like an opera.

There really aren't that many film composers you can say that about.

>friend tells me about his first year studying film at university
>he got asked what some of his favourite films are by his lecturer
>he mentions fellowship of the ring
>lecturer was smirking and said "isn't that just battles?"

...

Was kinda retarded tbf.was they meant to be standing there 24 hours on top of a mountain incase the beacon gets lit.what if they got killed and someone lit it for the lols

Dumb as fuck tbqh

literally any time the breaking of the fellowship starts playing i get teary eyed.

that feel when your dad was so based he took you to see each film twice, even three times for the first one

I refuse to believe this

Same senpai, no other scene in a movie has ever come close to being so amazing. I will never forget seeing the balrog come on screen for the first time and roar. And then gandalf fall in the first one as a 9 year old thinking "that's it?.."

Then a year later as it shows them before they fall I knew it would show what happens.

there's an answer to this

LOTR was made shortly after/during the dissolution of the first great tech bubble (.dot bomb)

there was a surplus of technical talent floating around and a great surplus of capital looking for investments. Most investment money went into the real estate bubble, but some found its way into silicon valley 2.0 (google etc) and Hollywood. LOTR was a product of money looking for a place to go. A risk on a geek film by a (relatively unknown) director was seen as less risky as the stock market at that time.

we are also lucky it was just before the political mandarins of diversity came into power (oddly via Silicon Valley 2.0) so some shreds of 90s film integrity remained.

we are the beneficiaries

How did Hackson go from god-tier to shit-tier so quickly?

youtube.com/watch?v=-rFMH6ZXN14

RIDE, SHADOWFAX

SHOW US THE MEANING OF HASTE

>That scene where Bilbo spares Gollum

Overall the Hobbit movies were incomparable to LotR, but that one scene is a perfect example of Shore's wizardry.

And Freeman was legit good. The McGregor Kenobi of these flicks -- a shining light in the darkness.

the animators are basically directing at that point lmao

Benders

>implying that wasnt sick

I mean sure the hobbit movies werent great, but at least the fighting was entertaining.

>tfw parents came and took me out of school early so I could go see fellowship with them
>ywn feel the feel of the first time of hearing the opening elvish narrator

We really didn't deserve this epic.

it couldn't really be done imo. the book simply covers too much in-universe time

>in a 3.5 hour movie, there are precisely two battles. Three if you want to include the intro.
