Loved watching your reaction! Can’t wait for the other two movies. Hopefully there will be audio on the movie next time lol. You joshed me at one point when you paused for your dog and it played when you came back then turned it off. Haha. The two towers is my personal favorite. It has a lot of back story in it that makes it really enjoyable, not to mention focuses on some of the best characters!

Ahhh YEES I loved your reaction! I was waiting for this reaction and finally it’s here, yay! It’s so fun getting to experience these films through the eyes of someone who’s watching them for the first time. These films are my absolute favorite films of all time and hold a very dear place in my heart. Hoping for the reactions to the next two LOTR films to come out next! So, you bring up some good points. You often saw similarities between Harry Potter and LOTR, and there’s absolutely a connection, but it’s the reverse. Given LOTR was written between 1937-1949 (way before Harry Potter existed), and Tolkien (the author) is the Father of Modern Day Fantasy, Harry Potter took inspiration from LOTR, not the other way around. And nearly every modern day fantasy writer, including George R.R. Martin, has taken inspiration from Tolkien’s works. LOTR is the foundational work from which most other modern day fantasy stories originate. So, concerning Gandalf not using his powers as much, from what I understand, this is intentional. LOTR fans, please chime in if I’m remembering wrong! Gandalf is indeed extremely powerful. He is an Istari, a Maiar, which is sorta like an angelic being—not the same, but similar. Sauron is also a Maiar. Well, Gandalf and all the five wizards were sent to help in the battle against Sauron. For Gandalf, from what I understand, his purpose and way of helping in Middle Earth is to be more of a guide/adviser, indirectly interfering with the events of Middle Earth but not always directly interfering. He isn’t meant to show off displays of great power even, but he takes on a more humble approach. He has more power than he shows, but it’s a good thing he is wise and humble enough to withhold a lot of his power because he could easily fall to corruption with all the power he does possess and he knows his purpose and doesn’t veer from the path like Saruman does. It’s why Gandalf strongly refused the Ring when Frodo offered it to Gandalf, why Gandalf didn’t even want to touch the ring. The more power you have, the greater the temptation and corruption the Ring can cause. We see the direct contrast between Gandalf’s approach and Saruman’s approach. Saruman goes for the great displays of power, using brute force and more directly imposing his power, under Sauron’s will & power, to dominate all life on Middle Earth. And Hobbits stand in direct contrast to that, as they don’t have much power and don’t care to dominate the earth, but rather care to tend to the earth and help it flourish. This is extremely important to note because it all ties into the core themes of this story, which is not fully about imposing power to destroy evil; that’s like the temptation of the Ring. This story is much more about the simplicity of the Hobbits pushing back against the forces of evil in a different way than everyone else is. It’s not so much about the warrior on the battlefield as it is about the gardener who has a love of life, peace, home, and all things that grow. This is communicated in Bilbo’s narrated intro in the film. Power in this story is often a dangerous thing that easily corrupts. It's not something one should exert recklessly, but use sparingly and be wise about how to use it, when to use it and when to withhold it. Even in this film, Gandalf says something very important: "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.” Another thing to note is that Gandalf the Grey, although extremely powerful, is not the head of the wizard order, and so he is not as powerful as the head. Saruman the White is the head of the wizards and the most powerful among them. There’s so much more, but I’m only trying to talk about what was brought up in this film and not the others. That’s my understanding of it, at least, but I could be remembering details wrong. Fans, feel free to chime in! I also think you’d LOVE watching the Appendices, which are the Behind the Scenes from the Extended Edition box sets. They go into great detail for every film department with how they created this (including how they made the Hobbits small). It’s the best behind the scenes documentaries that I’ve ever seen and I don’t think anything else will top it. It’s a masterclass in the arts before there ever was a masterclass and is just as epic a journey as the films themselves. I re-watch the Appendices as much as I rewatch the films haha! Ah, I’m just so happy you’re watching these films now!! I could talk endlessly about them, but this is already quite a long comment ha. Excited for the Two Towers!

Oh and added haha: Before I knew the backstory, I also thought Gimli wanting a single hair from Galadriel was really creepy. But then I learned the backstory. Galadriel was alive in Valinor during the First Age when the light that covered the earth was coming from the Two Trees of Valinor. These trees were the original light source for earth before the sun and moon. But eventually the Dark Lord of the time destroyed these trees. But not before certain characters saved some of the light that came from those trees to create new things that gave light. Fëanor was one who created the silmarils, jewels that held this light. Later on, a character named Eärendil took one of these silmarils into the sky, creating another light source in the sky called the Star of Eärendil. It is some of this light that's contained in a phial that Galadriel gave to Frodo before he left. Remember when Galadriel said to Frodo as she gave it to him, "And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places when all other lights go out." It's also said that the original light of the Two Trees of Valinor was contained in Galadriel's hair (hence the light effect you see in the films radiating stronger on her than others). So her hair is not just normal hair; it contains really powerful and glorious light. Fëanor, who created the silmarils, is said to have gotten inspiration for the silmarils upon seeing Galadriel's hair. He pleaded with Galadriel three times to have one strand of her golden hair which contained this light. She refused him all three times because she saw in his heart his greed that would cause much suffering. He couldn't handle this power and light. So when Gimli comes along and asks for one strand of her golden hair, instead of just giving him one, she gives him three (maybe for each time Fëanor asked for one strand) . It can perhaps even infer something about what she perceives of Gimli's heart, that he's not greedy like Fëanor. It also speaks volumes that a dwarf, of all beings, was the one to be given this gift rather than Fëanor, an elf, given the disputes between dwarves and elves. In the film, when Gimli tells Legolas Galadriel gave Gilmi 3 strands of her hair, you see Legolas reacting with a knowing smile. He knows the significance of this. And it's my personal theory (at least for the film versions) that that's the beginning of Legolas becoming less racist toward dwarves. It looks like that's the point where Legolas' attitude shifts. In a way, this gives Legolas a deeper respect for Gimli, knowing that Galadriel, the most powerful elf in Middle Earth during the Third Age--besides maybe Elrond--saw something pure and good in Gimli that he was worthy of having such a gift that even Fëanor wasn't worthy of having. The story continues on with this, but no spoilers. At least, that's how I understand it. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, fellow fans. The lore to all this goes so deep, it's a lot and very complex.

Are all the videos going to be without audio? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to sync it when I watch on my smartphone?
