I genuinely had so much fun watching alicia's reaction to this! Hearing about film making intricacies occasionally while getting a first time watcher's perspective was very entertaining and now I only have one problem. I wish the other movies were uploaded already :(

Galadriel, was in fact, "THAT FINE". Canonically speaking. Her hairs was one of her emphasized characteristics, something about it glowing idk. Unfortunately they weren't able to transmit that very well in the movie. But you can somehow deduce that from the fact that even a hating dwarf would put her above any jewel under earth.

Filmed in New Zealand and parts of some sets are still up as tourist attractions.

So the different movie cuts. They filmed... soooo much. Honestly it was a struggle to fit the films into three movies. But in its day, doing a three series trilogy was not very common. They took a leap allowing them to produce three films for a series. I cannot state enough how everybody should watch the behind the scenes and making of for these films. They have hours explaining locations, sets, costume and so much more. It's beautiful. So the reason that the extended is so long and yet feels so abrupt to end is because they paced it so well, trimmed for theatrical release or not, the film flows smoothly. The third film is roughly 3 hours even trimmed down. The regular DVD set back in the day has a disc one and a disc two. These films... are my comfort movies. I still get tears, the music wakes something in me and it feels like home. I adore seeing people experience it and soak it in the first time.

I'm sure someone else will also mention it, but regarding the fight Choreo: The actor for Gimli was actually laying into the stuntment with the axe in his scenes. The Uruks had actual armor and the axe was blunt enough that he just shmacked the closest orc and moved on to the next.

Alicia, Can I have one hair from your crimson head?

If anyone ever says that about the wiser choice they are wrong Sam is the OG, and you have summed him up perfectly

One of my favorite little details was when they were walking over the mountain, and everyone was waist-deep in snow, having to practically dig their way through it... meanwhile, Legolas is so light-footed that he walked on top of the snow without leaving even a footprint. Elves!

Chris Ward

I sincerely hope you continue the trilogy it only gets better as it goes on! Also RWBY TRUAMA! It will never get better.

I'd never watched the extended version before... it was nice to see. They essentially added extra lore in there and for example the scene with Boromir trying to take the ring was slightly extended. The early part with the hobbits had more detail about them and other details.

Starchaser

The extended edition is the original intended version. They were forced to cut it down for theaters.

Trivia: at 48:12 in this video, when the Uruk-hai throws the knife at Aragorn, the Uruk-hai actor wasn't supposed to *actually* throw the knife at him; he did so by accident, and Viggo Mortensen *actually* deflected it on the fly.

Dwain Kowalske

I guarantee you there was some influence from this movie for the RWBY scene you mention. Several of the writers are huge Lord of the Rings fans, so it would not surprise me.

how do we feel about lore dumps here? I'm trying so hard too resist

27:30 about Galadriels hair. It seems like a weird gesture to gift hair but it makes a lot of sense. You see. Galadriel is ancient. Older than the sun and moon. Before those were created there were two giant trees, silver and golden, which were the light sources of the world. Those trees were destroyed by an evil god who was Saurons boss (think Saurons times 1000). It is said that the silver and golden light of the trees was captured in Galadriels hair and still shines from it to this day. Also a very powerful elven smith named Feanor asked for her hair because he wanted to use it in his smithing work and she refused because she saw darkness in his heart. That elf was like the best smith the elves ever had and created three powerful artifacts (think of the rings of power but way more powerful). So Galadriel giving her hair to Gimli who is not even an elf but a dwarf after refusing Feanors request is a very big deal. And also shows that she deems Gimlis character worthy of such a gift.

Joel Sasmad

So yeah. Galadriel is canonically a powerful psychic with mental powers surpassing even Sauron. The ring amplifies the powers of the bearer, meaning that in the hands of Galadriel her mental control would be way worse of a problem than even Sauron getting the ring back.

One of the extended scenes is Bilbo's narration at the beginning. In the theatrical cut, right after the Prologue, it cuts right to Frodo by the tree. They cut out the scene where Aragorn is singing. They removed Gimli's gift. They also removed the conversation between Aragorn and Boromir where the latter calls out the former for being afraid of his lineage. Also, most of the sets are filmed using practical effects. Very little CGI. When it comes to establishing shots, they would use smaller models, but when filming the interior of the locations, they would build the actual place/set. And they used forced perspectives for characters. For example, the Hobbits are much shorter than the other races in Middle-earth (usually around 3'6), so they used forced perspectives to make characters like Gandalf convincingly taller than someone like Frodo. And yes, the entire trilogy was simultaneously filmed in New Zealand. Peter Jackson filmed the whole trilogy before Fellowship even released in theaters. If you ever go to New Zealand, you can visit Hobbiton.

I just pray Alicia finishes the series before some troll tries and spoils things

Zander2212

LOTR definitely had a big impact on RWBY. The lyrics to one of the songs from season 1 (I May Fall to be specific) has some subtle references to a scene from The Return of The King.

KodeShikou

Evenly balanced…as all things should be

Elaharra

Sitting here at 8 am, kinda drunk cause i keep crazy people hours and wake up at midnight, crying like a bitch when Boromir dies like i do every year when i watch the trilogy, watching you watch it is my second time this year. I forget every time how emotional this scene gets me.

Nakhtichaos

Here I sit VIBRATING until the next set is posted.... I'm so fuckin hyped.

Cerberus-Rune

This has been a joy to watch. I look forward to the next two movies, and if trends hold, 6 videos.

MMDXXX

I loved every moment of this! I won't spoil anything, but I've got a feeling you will love the next LOTR movie even more, and I can't wait to see you watch it!

Yaboi7117

You’re fans are calling for more LOTR

Matthew Harms

If you like these you will definitely like the hobbit movies as well.

Seth

Other people in the comments have stated it, but Galadriel gifting Gimli three of her hairs actually was that deep, the lore of Tolkien's universe is vast.

Morgasborga

I can't wait to see you react to the next two films. All three of these films make me cry like crazy T.T .

Nick DiRubio

"I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king." I weep every time at this scene. Even thinking about it chokes me up.

M

Please do The Two Towers soon Alicia! I think i speak for many when I say... many of your audience are desperate for it

Mikey Cyrus

You missed the outro ''May it be'' by Enya, its a masterpiece

Simulacrae

Boromir is far and away my favorite LOTR character. He is the *perfect* summation of the race of Man. Flawed, power hungry, and of course he is not immune to the draw of evil, but deep down at his heart he is honorable, courageous, kind and compassionate. Willing to do what is right for those he loves at the very end.

Aragorn sang: Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes. ‘What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight? Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight? ‘I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey, I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more. The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor, ‘O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar, But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.’ Then Legolas sang: From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones, The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans. ‘What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve? Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve. ‘Ask not of me where he doth dwell – so many bones there lie, On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky, So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea. Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’ ‘O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth’. Then Aragorn sang again: From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls, And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls. ‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today? What news of Boromir the bold? For he is long away.’ ‘Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought, His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought. His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest, And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast. ‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze, To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'

A thing to know is Galadriel was basically exiled from LOTR version of heaven. So her passing the test was her being told she is now welcome to come home to heaven "head west" rather than diminish which is Elf way of kinda just fading away and becoming spirits.

Samuel Vincent

Some of the details about Hobbits that aren't really addressed in the trilogy are their, particular advantages. They talk about their shortcomings a fair bit. First of all, Hobbits aren't stupid. They would be best described as simple. Got given to duplicity. But one of the most important things is, that among all the races in Middle Earth, the are the least magical. They are, also, a race of, almost universally innocent and good people. They desire a simple, joyous and peacful life. These two things are why Hobbits seem to be the most immune to the Ring's influence. There are few desires and it can latch onto. And, as someone mentioned in a previous comment, the less power you have, the less influence the Ring has. And the less talked about traits are more physical. Hobbits are naturally very stealthy. Being a race that is smaller than almost everything, and always going barefoot, allowsa them to be able to sneak past almost anything. Elves are some of the most perceptive creatures in Middle Eart, and yet Sam, Merry and Pippon were able to sneak into Elrond's secret council undetected. THey are that sneaky. Also, almost every Hobbit learns to throw from a young age. Hobbits have a wicked accuracy with thrown stones, and surprising strength in their arms. In one of the books, it mentioned that, in the Shire, most birds, squirrels and rabbits learn to flee the moment they see a Hobbit bend down to pick up a stone.

“All that’s left for us to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us” I have that tattooed on my arm, along with a picture of the whole group traveling through the mountains, I love it

Ben Gross

They did the same cliffhanger bullshit with the Hobbit trilogy, and it sucked waiting for each one as it came out, seeing one, then waiting another year to see the next

AzulSora

I'm sorry.. but was that 27 minutes of *credits*?

Gabe

I don't know if someone has commented these already, but here are some easter eggs for this part: -When Aragorn deflects the knife, that knife was meant to miss, and they would make it seem like it was closer than it actually was. The actor for Lurtz (the main Uruk-hai) messed up the throw, and Viggo Mortensen had to actually deflect the knife. That was a steel prop that would have hit him in the face if he hadn't deflected it. There are a number of cool easter egg with him in these movies. -The boats they're in are enchanted never to capsize. When they send Boromir over the falls, they know that the boat won't flip, so his body will be able to return home to Gondor (which is downstream).

Richard

I know this comment is late, but I like to imagine that during Aragorn’s reign, he commissioned a statue or memorial to Boromir, and years later, Aragorn and his son walk by it. Aragorn’s son asks his dad “Who is that, father?” Aragorn answers “A brave and noble man, whom I had the honour to fight alongside, and the first man of Gondor to see me as his Captain, his King.”

ShonenJump247

Interesting / painful fact during filming of that river scene when Sam runs into the water after Frodo, they cleared the water of trash but missed a shard of glass that was buried in the sand and when Sean ran into the water he stepped on the glass and it went right threw his foot. The surprising thing was he had surgery to remove it right there on the beach and still went right back to filming the next day.

Dragon Slapper

she gave him the hair but didnt give that same gift to one of the greatest elves

Faroth

Elves are "art nouveau" and dwarves are 'art deco", change my mind

Zach

Pretty sure canonically, Galadriel is that fine.

Kyutoko

I heard a rumor that that scene where Viggo knocks the dagger aside was filmed entirely practically and he launched the dagger at the crew and it nearly hit someone. It's a prop, sure, but ow, thankfully it missed.

CarcosanTimeshare

6:30 I do remember one of the behind the scenes moments where one of the casting directors for the elves was, to paraphrase her, "I'm so sick of looking at tall, beautiful people all day!"

fonz lopez

when this first came out the following christmas i got the special edition dvd of it. and my mom also got me a nice version of the books and a book ends that were the statues of ancient kings they pass in the river holding their hands out. probably the coolest gift i ever got for christmas.
