The Lord of the Rings	comment	An adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings into a film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson. The movies were filmed together and released one year after the previous for the holiday seasons of 2001-2003.One of the most ambitious movie projects ever undertaken, the overall budget was around $300 million (estimates vary between $281-330 million), and principal filming for all three pictures took place over 18 months in Jackson's native New Zealand (which has seen tourism increase by 50% since the films came out). The entire project took eight years, factoring in the early pre-production and the fact that additional pick-ups were filmed in between each film's release. In fact, the very last shot filmed (a few skulls tumbling along the ground) was quickly shot in the studio after the third film was released and included in its extended edition.The films were remarkably faithful in many respects, though many changes had to be made due to the many factors involved with adapting such a monumental work. Among the most significant changes include Saruman's last scene, the characterizations of Aragorn, Gimli, Faramir, Denethor, and Arwen, as well as the removal of various subplots to make the story as a whole more appealing to movie audiences or to streamline their remarkably nuanced events from the books.The theatrical versions were lengthy epics (all clocking at around 3-ish hours), and the "Extended Editions" (released before the succeeding movies) added at least another half-hour to each film's running time.note Around 12 minutes of that extra runtime is credits added for the fan community website. Unusual for such a thing, Peter Jackson has stated that the Extended Editions are not an actual Director's Cut (feeling the term would unfairly imply that he was unsatisfied with the theatrical releases) but merely a fan-friendly extension to enlarge the world of Middle-earth and see what things they left out of the faster-paced theatrical versions.The results were astonishingly critically and commercially successful, with each film grossing more than $750 million (averaging more than $1 billion after being adjusted for inflation), and with all three winning Academy Awards.note Fellowship won 4, Two Towers won 2, and Return of the King won 11 — it shares the record for most Oscar wins for a single film ever with Ben-Hur (1959) and Titanic (1997), and holds the record for the biggest "sweep", winning all the awards it was nominated for.The trilogy consists of: The Fellowship of the Ring, released in December 2001 The Two Towers, released in December 2002 The Return of the King, released in December 2003An adaptation of The Hobbit was later made into a prequel trilogy, with Peter Jackson returning to direct the films. The first part of which was released in winter 2012 and the last in winter 2014. Many actors from the Lord of the Rings trilogy (such as Ian Mckellen, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Orlando Bloom, and Christopher Lee) returned to reprise their roles.The Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power about the Second Age is not in the continuity of the film series, although New Line Cinema is involved in the production in some capacity.

The Lord of the Rings / int_10315f72	comment	Angelic Beauty: A rejected idea from the third film was to have Sauron (who is basically a Fallen Angel only appearing as an Evil Overlord) appear in his fair form as Annatar to beguile Aragorn during the final battle at the gates of Mordor. This did result in some deleted footage, but was replaced with the Aragorn vs. Troll fight.

The Lord of the Rings / int_127fc252	comment	Creator Cameo: Peter Jackson, as well as other high-ranking members of the production crew, make several appearances throughout the films: The prologue has cameos by senior prosthetics supervisor Gino Acevedo and prosthetics technicians Rich Mayberry and Xander Forterie as three of the seven Dwarf Lords who receive Rings of Power; concept artists John Howe and Alan Lee play two of the Nine Kings; Weta production worker Ben Britton and pre-viz storyboard shader Jason Secto play elves fighting in the Last Alliance. Artist Alan Lee and Production Designer Dan Hennah appear as old men being armed when Legolas and Aragorn argue at Helm's Deep. Peter Jackson appears again as a spear throwing Rohirrim at Helm's Deep. Jackson, Acevedo, Weta Workshop head Richard Taylor, director of photography Andrew Lesnie, and co-producer Rick Porras play the Corsairs of Umbar. Jackson's Corsair is shot by Legolas, and the rest are implicitly killed by the Army of the Dead.

The Lord of the Rings / int_13f31733	comment	Evolutionary Retcon: By the third entry, Peter Jackson had decided he wasn't a fan of the "witch noses" on certain orcs in the previous films. As a result, none of Return of the King's orcs sported long, pointy noses. Possibly Justified in-universe in that most of the orcs we see in the first two films are from either Moria or Isengard, whereas those in ROTK are almost exclusively of Mordor stock. It's not inconceivable that there may be some regional variation in appearance.

They drop a couple of the more lighthearted scenes of the book (Tom Bombadil, for example) and focus more on the bloody battles (easier to do in a visual medium), while omitting some of the creepier book-scenes (such as the barrow wights) and adding a lot of comic relief.

The Lord of the Rings / int_16dda55f	type	Simple Solution Won't Work
The Lord of the Rings / int_16dda55f	comment	Simple Solution Won't Work: Possibly the best-known Fandom-Enraging Misconceptioninvoked in any discussion of the trilogy is "Why didn't the Fellowship ride the Great Eagles of Manwe into Mordor instead of walking?", because the films don't state that this was never an option: the Eagles would have been spotted too easily and been intercepted, handing the Ring right over to Sauron. The Fellowship of the Ring: When Elrond and Frodo reveal the One Ring to the attendees of the Council of Rivendell, Boromir suggests using the Ring against Sauron. Aragorn immediately shoots that down: "The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master." Elrond subsequently says that the Ring must be destroyed. Gimli promptly takes a swing at it with his battleaxe—and is Blown Across the Room and his axe's blade shattered. The Return of the King: Following the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Gandalf states that Sauron will be regrouping in Mordor after his defeat. Gimli (again) suggests just letting him rot there, and Gandalf replies that his remaining armies of orcs are now standing between Frodo and Mount Doom. This leads to the plan to march on the Black Gate to draw Sauron's attention away—a plan that means certain defeat for the armies of Men if Frodo fails to get through.

"To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman, and the union of the Two Towers." "Authority is not given to you to deny the Return of the King, steward!" The names of chapters from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are brought up on occasion. On entering Hobbiton, Gandalf is delighted to see preparations underway for A Long-Expected Party. When Lobelia Sackville-Baggins comes knocking on the front door of Bag End, Bilbo whispers to Gandalf "I am not at home!". Gandalf whispers Riddles in the Dark, as he wonders if that chapter of The Hobbit might not be entirely true. "There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power!" When the hobbits fall on each other after being pursued by Farmer Maggot "A shortcut to what ?" "The mushrooms!" When Gandalf sees Orcs assembling outside of Balin's tomb, he shouts "To the Bridge of Khazad-Dum!" to the other Fellowship members. After Gandalf comes Back from the Dead, he says he fell "through fire ... and water". This is also a reference to a chapter in The Hobbit.

The Lord of the Rings / int_1ed73929	comment	The Friends Who Never Hang: Despite ostensibly serving as one of his protectors and being a member of the Fellowship, Legolas says exactly five words directly to Frodo: "And you have my bow". Justified in that the two are separated for most of the story - they meet at the House of Elrond, split up at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, and don't see each other again until the tail end of The Return of the King, but awkward nonetheless. Legolas primarily interacts with Aragorn and Gimli, barely even looking at anyone else in the fellowship. Gimli has a similar problem to a lesser degree than Legolas. As he's mostly the comic relief to the Three Hunters trio of himself Aragorn and Legolas, he rarely talks to anyone outside that dynamic. He never once speaks to Boromir or Sam.

The Lord of the Rings / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The small glass vial containing the Light of EÃ¤rendil, given to Frodo by Galadriel in the first film. It comes in handy in the third film, when Frodo is lost in Shelob's lair. The elven rope given to Sam also comes in handy, though it's only given a bit of relevance in the extended edition. Given the length of time between the release of the film in theaters, this turned into a bit of a Brick Joke. In the book all items received by the Fellowship in LothlÃ³rien fit this trope (most notably the Elven cloaks and brooches). She even gives Sam a box of dirt. The movie keeps most of them with the exception of Boromir's belt (in the book it served to help Faramir realize that he indeed saw his dead brother and not just a vision). In the beginning of the second film, Saruman instructs his mooks to dam the river. At the end of the film, the Ents break the dam, dramatically destroying Saruman's army and Elaborate Underground Base in the ensuing flood. If counting where Bilbo and Frodo's sword, Sting, received its name in The Hobbit killing the giant spiders of Mirkwood as they attacked the ensnared dwarves, it's perhaps one of these or a Brick Joke that Samwise uses Sting to defeat Shelob (the Mirkwood spiders are literally her offspring).

The Lord of the Rings / int_29718d62	type	Accent Adaptation
The Lord of the Rings / int_29718d62	comment	Accent Adaptation: A multitude of accents from all over The British Isles are used with great effect throughout the trilogy to enhance characterization: The high-ranking characters (Gandalf, Saruman, Elrond, Galadriel etc) have RP (the Queen's English) accents, which lends them gravitas and enhances their position of authority. As explained in the commentary, there was originally an idea for the Elves to have sort of Irish-accents where they pronounce their R's and L's differently, because they live so long it's like they learned to speak Old English centuries ago and are getting used to the new vowel shifts since then. This is actually how all of their lines were performed during the original filming, but the idea was later dropped (because a general audience wouldn't immediately understand the reason behind it) and all their dialogue was re-recorded in ADR. Most people from Gondor (Denethor, Boromir, Faramir) speak with an RP accent, as Gondor is the main kingdom of Men that still opposes Sauron. People from Rohan speak with Rhotic accents, in which they pronounce all their R's distinctly (unlike in RP). This was to show how they're a little less advanced than Gondor itself but are still in contact with them. In fact, all the Rohirrim speak their own language, presented as literally Old English in a few scenes, but the entire royal court is bilingual in the Common Speach / Westron, their world's lingua franca. Rhotic accents are more common in the Americas but can be found in the British Isles, in the West Country around Somerset. Most Hobbits speak with a rural, Somerset-to-West-Midlands accent. Sam speaks with this standard accent. More educated Hobbits Bilbo and Frodo (arguably Hobbit gentry) have a more softened accent that is a bit closer to RP. The exceptions are Merry and Pippin: Billy Boyd used his native Scottish accent to preserve his comedic timing (they came up with the explanation that Tookland is rough hill country in the southern Shire and thus sort of like Scotland); meanwhile while Merry is from Buckland beyond the eastern edge of the Shire, so his accent is sort of an oddball that doesn't quite sound like the others. Fridge Brilliance: in the novels it's stated that the Hobbit accent actually sounds a little like the Rohan accent, because their ancestors used to live in the same region near the Anduin and had some contact. Thus it makes perfect sense that if the Rohirrim have Somerset accents, the Hobbits have sort of similar Gloucester-to-West-Midlands accent. Aragorn has a unique accent, but as he's a Dunedain ranger from the old north kingdom Arnor, not the south kingdom Gondor, he was raised by Elves, and he's been traveling extensively for decades, it makes sense that he wouldn't sound like any of these other groups. The Orcs have Ray Winstone-esque theatrical Cockney/SE London accents to emphasize their loutishness. Gimli was given a Scottish accent to mirror what in the text was simply gruff speech. (By John Rhys-Davies, who was raised in England by Welsh parents). To emphasize just how alien a walking, talking tree-man is, his voice-actor (also John Rhys Davies) performed the lines by talking as he was inhaling instead of exhaling.

The Lord of the Rings / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: Due to the Elves' immortality, all of the Elven characters fit. According to information given in The Silmarillion, Galadriel is one of the oldest Elves at around 10,000 years oldnote no authoritative source for her exact age seems to exist, but a calculation here puts her age at around 8,440 years at the time of LoTR, give or take depending on how long the pre-solar years were. Not bad for someone who was played by 32 year old Cate Blanchett. In the Extended Edition, Aragorn admits to Ã‰owyn that he is 87 years old during the events of The Two Towers. Being a descendant of NÃºmenor, he's in his prime. He goes on to live to 210. Gandalf, while looking like a frail 70-year-old, is a Maia (god-like entity) who has been around since the creation of the universe. He's been in Middle Earth for about 2000 years, and was the last of the Five Wizards to arrive. So Saruman and Radagast are older in that respect.

The Lord of the Rings / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: Tom Bombadil and his wife Goldberry, together with the Hobbits' entire "Old Forest" adventure. Glorfindel's role of rescuing Frodo from the NazgÃ»l and bringing him to Rivendell is given to Arwen. Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth is omitted. His role in the book supporting Gandalf's defence of Minas Tirith and his support of Aragorn as King of Gondor are fairly important plot points, as he's the one that figures Aragorn can cure victims of the NazgÃ»l. Beregond (and his son's) role as Pippin's friend is given to Faramir. His role in defending Faramir from premature cremation is simply cut, so Pippin's dash for Gandalf is even more desperate and they only get there just as the pyre is about to be lit. Purportedly, Ian Hughes' character was meant to be Beregond, but the name was changed in post-production because the role had been so reduced. (Not that you hear either name said onscreen.) Ghan-buri-Ghan and his wildmen are omitted. In the novels, many thousands of Orcs are quite sensibly sent north to guard against the Ride of the Rohirrim, forcing Theoden and his men to sneak around them thanks to Ghan-buri-Ghan. Elrond's sons Elladan and Elrohir, as well as Halbarad and the other Rangers who join Aragorn on the Paths of the Dead are also absent. The Scouring of the Shire is absent from the films' canon, instead shown as a Bad Future.

In The Fellowship of the Ring, the battle between the Last Alliance and Mordor in the prologue certainly counts. The Battle at Amon Hen is much smaller in scale, pitting the Fellowship against a small army of Uruk-hai, but it's still an extremely impressive action sequence. In The Two Towers, Helm's Deep fills out this role quite nicely. We also see a bit of the fighting in Osgiliath near the end of the film, as well as an ambush of the Rohirrim refugess by a pack of orc raiders and the ents' destruction of Isengard. In Return of the King you have the siege of Minas Tirith, the Pelennor fields, and the Black Gate. We also get to see more of the Battle of Osgiliath, ending with the forces of Gondor being utterly routed.

On the other hand, characters in Minas Tirith from the books who could have humanized the Gondorians, such as Beregond, Bergil and Ioreth, were cut out of the movies. The Rohirrim's architecture and costumes also have a warmer color scheme than the Gondorians, where because the national colors of Gondor are black and white, the production team designed most things in Minas Tirith to be shades of gray.

The Fellowship is reunited, Aragorn is made King of Gondor, and the four Hobbits return home as revered heroes. However, the War of the Ring brought much devastation to Middle-earth that will take years to rebuild and countless lives were lost in all the conflict. The time of magic, the Elves, and the Maiar in Middle-earth ceases as Men begin to rule. But the biggest toll is seen in poor Frodo as he has been both physically and emotionally scarred by the Quest. He could never go back to living a life of peace and innocence in the Shire.

Ironically neither force has anything to do with the quest or even appears aware of the Ring. Not that a living destroyer created by Morgoth needs a reason to kill, or that it would be good if it found it.

When Jackson inquired how Lee knew this, Lee invoked the trope name. Lee did fight in World War II though, so there's always that possibility.

To shorten the film, the Scouring of the Shire had been deleted and he was made to die, but in Tolkien's eyes the original fate of the Wizard has been much worse: for a Maia, a minor god, and a powerful ruler able to sack a kingdom, to be reduced to begging through the countryside was a much greater humiliation.

The Lord of the Rings / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: The removal of Tom Bombadil and the excision of the Scouring of the Shire. Frodo not having the Ring for 17 years before Gandalf comes back — here it's implied he only had it for a couple of months at the most. Peter Jackson himself invoked this in his explanation as to his complete rewrite of the meetings of Faramir and Frodo's group: in the books, he lets them go free after learning of their quest and agreeing with it; in the film, he keeps them captive in order to take the Ring. Jackson said specifically this was because after the first book, the Ring's power to corrupt became an Informed Ability until it surfaced again at the tail-end of Return; in order to remind the viewer that it was basically evil incarnate, and keep with the rules Tolkien himself set, he had to have Faramir be tempted by the Ring. The Osgiliath detour even gets a subtle nod in Sam's speech: He wanted to move Shelob to the third movie because anything was going to pale next to Helm's Deep, and that left Frodo and Sam completely out of (action-y) danger for the entire movie. There had to be a threat, and poor Faramir got drafted. When Tolkien commented on ideas for a film version by Forest J. Ackerman, he said they should probably skip the Hornburg entirely so that the Ents' attack on Isengard as well as the final battle would look that much more impressive. (We're all glad the filmmakers didn't take him up on that.) Postponing his acquisition of AndÃºril to the third film gave Aragorn greater credibility as a ranger earlier on, as he got to demonstrate his knife skills more. Having him leave Narsil's shards in Rivendell also avoided the visible incongruity of a trained survivalist, who needs to travel light, hauling a priceless historical artifact all over the wilderness with him. In the books, there's a lot of random elves who show up, do one incredibly plot-crucial thing, and are never seen again. Most of their jobs went to Arwen, so she'd have something to do to make the audience actually give a damn about her. Elrond got the rest. And then later completely turned on its head when Arwen was to be added to the Battle of the Hornburg before Peter Jackson decided it would be too much, which led to another elf getting a one-off: Haldir. Unfortunately, he dies in the films, while in the books his fate is undetermined. In the books, as Saruman's power wanes and Gandalf's grows, the white of Saruman's robes and hair fragments change so much that he becomes "Saruman of Many-Colours." The film-makers, realising how utterly ridiculous a rainbow-coloured wizard would look, represent this by having Saruman's robes get dirtier as he descends into evil. Merry instantly recognises Eowyn when she is disguised as a Rohirrim soldier. This is because it would have been impossible to make Miranda Otto look like a man without it looking silly, and for Merry to not realise it was her until she takes off her helmet (as happens in the book) would have made him look like an idiot.

The Lord of the Rings / int_650a309b	comment	Forgot About His Powers: Sometimes Gandalf uses his magic powers, and sometimes he doesn't. He does when battling Saruman, or when facing the Balrog, or when he scares off the NazgÃ»l that are chasing Faramir's men on the road to Minas Tirith. But at other times he seems to forget he's a wizard and is content simply to whack bad guys with his staff, most notably when he's fighting in hand-to-hand combat in the siege of Minas Tirith or in the final battle at the gate to Mordor. Ian McKellen even asked this question once. Saruman shows the ability to levitate an enemy and toss him through the air, and to call down storms and avalanches from dozens if not hundreds of miles away, and Treebeard predicts that the Ents are probably doomed fighting against him. But during the actual battle, the Ents win easily and Saruman just watches angrily without using any magic. In the books he actually kills one of the Ents with a jet of fire, making this an inversion of the ususal Adaptation Deviation tendency to add much more blatant magic use than was in the source material. All There in the Manual: The Istari, being Maiar, are forbidden to use their powers directly in opposition to Sauron, and were directed to oppose him by means of giving guidance and advice. After 2000 years, not using magic is a strong habit to break.

Not precisely word for word, but the essence of this is present in Boromir's first and last scenes. In the former, when he's informed that Aragorn is heir to the throne of Gondor, he retorts that "Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king," pouring as much scorn into the words as he can. In the latter, when he's dying in Aragorn's arms, his last words are "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king."

In the novels, these are the last words of Aragorn's own mother Gilraen shortly before she died in despair for the future.note In Gilraen's context, Estel (capitalized) is also clearly a play on Aragorn's selfsame childhood nickname.

The Lord of the Rings / int_745a226c	comment	Easy Logistics: Strongly averted. A surprising amount of screen time is spent on the various sides arming, armouring, and feeding their people. The forces of Shadow need to overcome the additional problem of protecting their forces from sunlight (Saruman solves the problem by creating the Uruk Hai, who can endure sunlight better than common orcs, while Sauron creates a cloud of volcanic ash to darken the sky over the battlefield). It even affects the plot when a powerful faction that might have remained neutral joins the war because Saruman tore down their forest to use as fuel in his forges. The orcs and Uruk Hai are shown subsisting on rations that would quickly make humans sick (though they certainly don't enjoy such fare). As magically created lifeforms designed as warrior slaves, this is probably a design feature to assist with this. The Elves achieve similar results with lembas, a magical "waybread" that can feed a grown man for a full day with one bite. It's apparently tasty, too, since Hobbits eating for pleasure can still down four whole pieces in a sitting. The shortage of provisions is a major concern at Helm's Deep, but quickly becomes a moot point when the Uruk-Hai storm the fortress instead of laying siege.

The Lord of the Rings / int_794f3589	type	Adaptation Explanation Extrication
The Lord of the Rings / int_794f3589	comment	Adaptation Explanation Extrication: The largely unexplained backstory leaves quite a few of these: Thanks to Peter Jackson's staging of the flashback with Elrond and Isildur, many who haven't read the books wonder why Elrond didn't just grab the Ring from Isildur and destroy it himself, or even just push Isildur into the lava if he wouldn't destroy something so Obviously Evil. note other than the fact that this wouldn't work. The books and films establish firmly that any attempt to take the Ring corrupts the taker into keeping it themselves (look what happened to Gollum within a matter of minutes), even if their intentions are pure. Additionally, those asking why he didn't just push Isildur into Mount Doom are asking why one of the good guys didn't just straight-up murder one of his allies.In the books, there's no such epic confrontation since at the time "few marked what Isildur did" and not even Elrond really knew what the Ring did, only that it was an evil wrought by Sauron to master the other Rings and should be destroyed on that basis, not because it was Sauron's Soul Jar. Therefore, when Isildur took the ring as a token of victory, a memorial to his father and brother's heroic deaths, and heirloom for his kidsnote Look up the tradition of weregild, no one really had any solid evidence to oppose him doing so. The issue of Aragorn as heir to the throne of Gondor. While the films play it off as Aragorn's own reluctance to rule, if Boromir can recognize the heir of Isildur simply from the name 'Aragorn', then why weren't his ancestors made kings long ago? In the books, the issue is far more complicated since although Isildur did rule Gondor at one point, he would later relinquish it to his nephew Meneldil, thereby removing any claim he and his descendants had over it. The Council of Gondor would later make this into law, declaring that only the direct male-line descendants of Meneldil are fit to sit on the throne. As someone who is only descended from Meneldil through a female ancestor, Aragorn does not fulfill that criterion and cannot simply walk into Gondor demanding his kingship. When Gandalf tells Denethor that he has no authority to deny the return of the king, that is a major deviation from the books, as Gondor has already done it once to Aragorn's own ancestor. One issue that is routinely brought up as though it's a plot hole is "Why didn't the Fellowship just use the eagles and fly the One Ring to Mount Doom, then drop it in from the air?" There are a number of reasons in the books that explain why. The Eagles are forbidden by their creator from intervening directly in the War, so they won't shepherd the Ring themselves. They also would be just as likely to be tempted to take the Ring for themselves as any other sentient creature. The most obvious reason is that the whole point of the Fellowship is to avoid detection, and a flock of eagles would bring all of Sauron's forces down on their heads. For all these reasons, the Eagles are only free to arrive once the Ring is gone and Sauron is defeated. Another factor is that their power is greatly increased in the movies; while their arrival did turn the tide in the book it was the assembled armies of their entire race intervening (which had been established to be mustering much earlier), not just four guys. Tom Bombadil is cut from the film, along with the scene with where he rescues the hobbits from the Barrow-wights and takes their enchanted daggers one of which Merry uses to slay the Witch-king. Here, Aragorn just gives them some short swords ("These are for you") that had been kept at Weathertop. Merry goes into battle with an Elven dagger which is never truly hinted or explained why it's effective against the Witch-king of Angmar unless it's enchanted in a similar way with the book's counterpart. Then again, it's a gift of Galadriel. Or maybe he can harm the Witch-king simply because he is a Hobbit, and not a "man" (human). Gandalf stops at Rohan in the first book before going to Rivendell (because Gwaihir the Eagle can't carry him much farther), attempting to warn Theoden about Saruman's Faceâ€“Heel Turn - but Grima Wormtongue has already started poisoning the old king's mind. This is eliminated from the film, so it's not explained how Gandalf is so up-to-date on what's been happening in Rohan.

Aside from that, though, pretty much everyone besides Gollum is either clear-cut good (if they oppose the forces of Mordor and Isengard) or evil (the leaders and armies of Mordor and Isengard) and even Gollum falls squarely into the "evil" category at the end of The Two Towers and stays there in The Return of the King. Subverted once: in the Extended Edition of The Two Towers, Faramir sees the corpse of a Harad man they'd just been fighting, and muses about where he came from, how he'd ended up fighting in Gondor, and whether he wouldn't have rather stayed home. He notes that the man's sense of duty was no less than Sam's. This part is taken from the book, where it was Sam who considered this.

Faramir is introduced after his men attack a troop of Haradrim, and he shows empathy for one of the enemies that they killed. Unlike the War Is Glorious mindset of most other characters, he then says "War will make corpses of us all."(Only in Extended Cut) Wormtongue's introduction in Edoras shows that he is manipulative, creepy and nevertheless a little pathetic. The first glimpse of the Lady Galadriel (other than the flash of her eyes that Frodo sees when he hears her voice in his mind) is her descending the stairs in Caras Galadhon with Celeborn in a blinding, majestic aura of white light.

When humans or orcs fire a volley, it tends to fell significantly less troops per arrow fired, though orcs get around this by sheer numbers.

Gimli and Legolas are also subject to this to a lesser extent at the end of The Return of the King. While the fates of the rest of the fellowship are shown, they are left out of the epilogue. Perhaps due to its already considerable length, brief scenes of Gimli in the Glittering Caves and Legolas wandering the woods of Lorien were deleted.

The Lord of the Rings / int_8878f3be	comment	Badass Army: The Elven army is implied to be one of these in the films given how disciplined and co-ordinated they are. Not because they're inherently better, mind you, they've just had literally thousands of years of training and combat experience. The Army of the Last Alliance seen in the prologue of The Fellowship. Justified in that they trained for years before marching on Mordor. The Uruk-hai army that attacks Helm's Deep definitely qualifies as a villainous version. Indeed, they are shown to be bluntly superior to the Allied force, to the point that not even the overwhelming disadvantage of storming a castle can stop them for long. Even the aforementioned Elves with their millennia of fighting experience can only hold them at the Deeping Wall; as soon as it's breached, the Elven defenders fail to stem the tide and are forced to retreat to the Hornburg. The Rhohirims fare even worse against the Uruks, barely even able to stop them at the gate despite having a huge chokepoint advantage. Even after Aragorn and Gimli salvage the situation by sallying out to flank the Uruk column at the gate, their effort is instantly rendered moot as the Uruks unleash their war machines to quickly scale the Hornburg and rapidly overwhelm the Rhohirim defenders. It takes Gandalf arriving at a precise moment and the Ents intervening for the Free Peoples to stand a chance against them.

However, they were caught off-guard by the blast almost as much as the defenders were. The Uruks near the grate are blown up along with the ones already on the wall and countless more are crushed beneath massive chunks of falling rubble that were blown sky high by the blast. After the dust settles, instead of immediately storming through the breach, they stand there staring at it, clearly not realizing that Saruman's new weapons would be that powerful. Of course, it's probably likely that Saruman just didn't bother to inform them of its destructive power because he didn't care, given that We Have Reserves was in full effect for the Uruks.

The Lord of the Rings / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: Christian symbolism is carried over from the books, although in a very discreet manner: In the first movie, when the Fellowship parts from Lothlorien, a white-clad Galadriel makes a blessing gesture◊, looking much like Catholic statues of Virgin Mary. At the very beginning of Fellowship, Jackson bows to Tolkien with subtle grace: the film opens in total darkness, and the voice of Cate Blanchett begins to speak... in Elvish. Because with Tolkien the languages came first, and then the people who spoke them, and their stories. In the beginning was the word... Perhaps the most obvious is Gandalf's arrival at Helm's Deep atop a white horse, in a scene straight out of Revelation. Aragorn is given the messianic treatment as follows: He is the long-awaited returning king to a city long ruled by stewards, whose architecture resembles Rome and whose top tier looks an awful lot like the Vatican (It should be noted that Tolkien himself was a devout Roman Catholic). Sam plays the role of Simon of Cyrene when he says "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you".

They exist only to serve him and have been ordered/enchanted to kill every last person in Rohan; they don't even value their own lives. Every other group of orcs encountered in the story has a similar mindset, if sometimes more words and fear. Sauron's orcs are equally lockstep and merciless, out of direction from him and the Witch-King. It's implied Sauron can come to terms with at least "wicked men" who are allied to Mordor (and in the books he "offers" such to Aragorn) and make the orcs behave differently. As he is immensely cruel and known as "the Deceiver" besides, no one besides Saruman even suggests reasoning with him and Gandalf calls the latter madness.

In the books, the hunters did in fact spot the riders coming from a long way off and had plenty of time to prepare themselves.

While The Two Towers has a very loud build-up with the arrival of Saruman's army at Helm's Deep, the extended edition cuts away from this bombastic action to focus on cowering civilians in the caves underneath, with the Uruks chanting in the distance. Theoden also delivers a monologue where he doubts whether the Rohirrim can win and wonders what will become of his kingdom. When the orcs are trying to break down a gate deep within Minas Tirith, Gandalf takes a few minutes to tell Pippin about the peaceful nature of the afterlife — a Far Green Country. The music at this point transitions from fearsome to quietly spiritual. Frodo and Sam have many scenes that show The Power of Friendship. Likewise, there are many flashback scenes that show Aragorn and Arwen's romance.

Contrariwise, in the novels, it is precisely upon learning the true size of Saruman's host and that the Westfold men have already been defeated and scattered with many fleeing to Helm's Deep with their women and children that Gandalf himself urges Theoden to join them there while he rallies the other survivors. Thus, in the novels, Theoden and Gandalf are in agreement on fighting at Helm's Deep and Theoden himself provides the enheartening last-minute reinforcements embodied by Haldir's Elves in the film.

The Lord of the Rings / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In an Extended-Version-only scene, Frodo and Sam see a group of Wood-Elves on their way to the Grey Havens while they're leaving the Shire. The final film ends with Frodo going to the Grey Havens and leaving Middle-Earth with the rest of the elves. When Bilbo and Gandalf smoke Pipe-weed before Bilbo's birthday party, Bilbo puffs a smoke ring, subtly bringing up the topic of the ring he possesses. In response, Gandalf produces a ship made of smoke and dissolves Bilbo's smoke ring, foreshadowing the destruction of the One Ring and their departure by ship. Bilbo watches thoughtfully. This scene follows right after Bilbo mentions that he needs a holiday and doesn't mean to return. In Moria, Boromir barely avoids being hit by arrows. Gollum's Song, sung by Emiliana Torrini and played over the credits of The Two Towers, ends with 'You are lost, you can never go home.' While it's ambiguous who exactly this is directed towards, by the end of the quest Frodo at least suffers a tragic case of You Can't Go Home Again. In Return of the King, Gimli mentions how he wishes he could summon a legion of Dwarves to march on Gondor with the Rohirrim. However Legolas tells him, "Your kinsmen may have no need to ride to war. I fear war already marches on their own lands" which may be a reference to the Easterlings' siege on the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor and their allies that happens off-screen at the same time as the siege of Minas Tirith.

The Lord of the Rings / int_9f6fb586	type	Leitmotif
The Lord of the Rings / int_9f6fb586	comment	Leitmotif: The "Fellowship theme," a traditional triumphant brass theme as heard over the montage of the fellowship travelling out of Rivendell towards Caradhras. Later used for the Three Hunters, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Notable in that, according to the composer Howard Shore, it never quite makes a full reappearance after the events in Moria; at least one note is off, or the rhythm is changed. The "Hobbit theme," a sort of jaunty flute piece with bassoons and oboes evoking pastoral countryside. Plays over the "Concerning Hobbits" narration. Gets more and more wistful the more the hobbits, especially Frodo, go through Break the Cutie - only to be restored to full brass-filled glory when everyone bows to the hobbits during Aragorn's coronation. The "Rohan Theme." Wistful when we first hear it on the Norwegian fiddle when the heroes arrive at Edoras, it later appears in full-on brass mode for Helm's Deep. Plays over the charge of the Rohirrim at the Battle of Pelennor Fields, with Norwegian fiddle and brass sections working together. The "Gondor Theme." Majestic, soaring theme that wouldn't sound entirely out of place in a pirate movie. Heard as Gandalf and Pippin arrive at Minas Tirith and gallop up the city to see Denethor, as well as over the lighting of the beacons. An early version of this theme is played on solo French horn as Boromir speaks at the Council of Elrond. The "Minas Tirith Theme", first heard in an Extended scene in Fellowship when Boromir and Aragorn talk in LothlÃ³rien unintentionally become the "AndÃºril Theme" and associated with Aragorn's march to kingship. It seems it originally was never meant to be associated with AndÃºril, but Howard Shore changed his mind. The "Mordor Theme." Dark and dramatic with lots of brass and ominous chanting when needed. Heard as Gandalf witnesses the arrival of the NazgÃ»l. Used to excellent effect first as a threatening sound when Sauron first appears before the Allied Army, single-handedly stopping their attack with his very presence, and then blasting into angry brass and choir as he sweeps away scores of soldiers with casual swings of his mace. There's another "Mordor Theme" as well, which is a dissonant, menacing melody, often featuring an instrument called a rhaita, which gives the theme a slightly Middle-Eastern feel. It is featured at its most ominous during the siege of Gondor, as the giant battering ram, Grond, breaks through the gates. When the ring is destroyed and Sauron's tower is falling, the melody reappears one last time, but the dissonance is triumphantly resolved. "Gollum's Theme," appears all the way through the second film whenever Gollum is around, but most notably as a song in the end credits sung by Emiliana Torrini. The "Isengard Theme," played with heavy brass and percussion in the Caverns of Isengard or when the Uruk-hai are on the move. Unlike other themes, which are in more conventional timing, Isengard's theme is done in 5/4 time, which sounds a little bit off or unnatural (as most music these days is done in 4/4, 2/4, or 3/4 time), to reflect the twisting of nature and industrial methods of Saruman. The percussion in question is actually banging an opened piano's wires with chains. The "LothlÃ³rien" theme for the Elves (or at least Galadriel's Elves) is first heard as an ethereal, dreamy piece with generous amounts of Cherubic Choir and One-Woman Wail. In the second movie, though, it gets transformed into a badass military march during the scene where the Elven army comes to the rescue at the Battle of Helm's Deep. "The History of the Ring," representing the power of the One Ring, especially when it changes hands or when someone tries to take it — plays under the title card of each movie, so easily mistaken for the theme to the trilogy itself — or perhaps it is, in a way. Ã‰owyn's theme (the only theme other than Gollum's associated with one character), played usually whenever she's standing at the front of the Golden Hall. The March of the Ents/General Badassery about to Happen theme (can be heard here). There is a Moria theme, too, profoundly sad and full of grandeur, with a soft chorus of deep (Maori) voices in Khuzdul. It plays once, as the Fellowship walk through the deserted corridors of what was once a bright and majestic city under the mountain. The Theme of the Gray Havens. Introduced rather late into Return, during the most desperate moment of the siege of Gondor, when Pippin believes all is lost. Comes to its full fruition when the last of the Elves and Frodo leave Middle-Earth from the Grey Havens. Before that, it gets its first true moment when Sam carries Frodo up Mount Doom.

GrÃÂma seems to believe that Saruman is biting off more than he can chew and that he might be able to play both sides against the middle - right up until Saruman shows him the magically frenzied 10,000+ superhumans in plate armour. The look on his face is priceless. Frodo has a "What did I almost do?" moment in The Two Towers. Under heavy influence from the Ring, Frodo doesn't notice that the Witch-King of Angmar is swooping in to grab him. Sam pulls him out of the way, simultaneously trying to get the Ring off. In response, Frodo pins him and threatens him with Sting. Sam manages to talk him down, but you can clearly see the horrified expression on his face as he drops the sword. Frodo has another after he fails to destroy the Ring, instead knocking Gollum off the ledge by accident in the scuffle to possess it. The look he gives Sam makes it clear that he's deeply saddened by what he did.

The Lord of the Rings / int_a4414a05	comment	Adaptation Dye-Job: Boromir in Fellowship of the Ring is described as having dark hair. For the movies they gave him light brown, bordering on blond.note In the books, Boromir looks a lot like Aragorn (they're related). The director probably felt that this would look confusing on film. Faramir's hair is not as dark, either. The vast majority of Men of NÃºmenÃ³rean ancestry are said in the books to have dark hair and grey eyes. The elves of LothlÃ³rien are shown to be uniformly blonde, though only the Vanyar and their descendants such as Galadriel, had exclusively blonde hair in the books. However Thranduil was described as being "golden-haired" in The Hobbit, so Silvan elves were capable of being blonde but not the extent of the Vanyar. While Frodo and Pippin are brunette, Merry and Sam are fairly blond, when in the books it specifically says that blond hobbits are a rarity.

The Lord of the Rings / int_a6b14ee1	type	Hollywood Tactics
The Lord of the Rings / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: The Rohirrim defenders of Helm's Deep let the Orcs neatly form up outside the fortress without shooting - until one bowman prematurely does, which (only then) provokes the Orcs to charge. The Rohirrim cavalry charge at the conclusion of Helm's Deep - downhill, towards thousands of Uruk-Hai armed with pikes and spears pointed right at them is a textbook example. In real life, this would have skewered the horses and their riders like shish-kebab. But the Orcs, blinded by the sunlight (and perhaps Gandalf's magic) ridiculously start to raise their weapons when they could've just stuck their spears into the ground and pointed them straight forward at their attackers, and the Rohirrim cut them down. However, the next Rohirrim cavalry charge, head-on at the giant Oliphaunts while swatting at their legs, goes exactly as one would expect. However, this was due more to real-life considerations than artistic licence. According to the DVD commentaries, going by the book - shooting the Oliphaunts in the eyes - was deemed too gruesome and reminiscent of animal cruelty toward real elephants to be filmed. In addition, the massive Oliphaunts could have wreaked havoc upon what remained of Minas Tirith's walls had they been able to reach them. By engaging them and distracting the beasts with hundreds of horses swarming around them, the Rohirrim end up buying the city more time. The Return of the King includes an intentional example. Faramir is forced to make an unsupported cavalry charge across open ground against a fortified position. Also, said position is an urban environment with lots of rubble in the streets that would handily take away all of a horse's speed and maneuverability. This goes about as poorly as one can expect and was meant to display Denethor's failing sanity. In the battle before the gates of Mordor, the heavily outnumbered and surrounded Army of the West break ranks and charge into the enemy, whereas in the book they hold their formations on higher ground and let the enemy come to them. Also, in the film version they arrive on war horses but inexplicably dismount and attack on foot.

Because they obviously can't use the front gate. Aragorn has to go through the ghost-infested mountains that no-one has ever returned from before.

For example, Fellowship's action prologue was only outlined second hand in the book, the fight in Balin's tomb was about a page long, the climax of the first book was focused more on Frodo and Sam splitting from the Fellowship, with most of the Uruk-Hai attack (with Boromir's death and Merry and Pippin being taken away) again being described after the fact. The following two books were more action-oriented than the first, but Peter Jackson still turned the action up to eleven by inserting whole sequences like the warg-rider attack and placing Frodo & Sam at Osgiliath.

The Lord of the Rings / int_ad1db87c	type	Oh, Crap!
The Lord of the Rings / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: The series features many examples. A great one in the prologue battle when Sauron makes his appearance on the battlefield. These mighty DÃºnedain have just mopped the floor with the Orcs and are about to declare their victory... then all of a sudden a black-armoured giant with a very big mace strides into their midst... Frodo in the first film, when he realizes that the two words Sauron's forces got from Gollum (Shire and Baggins) means that they know where the One Ring is and are coming to take it. When Arwen summons a tidal wave to beat the NazgÃ»l. Granted, they don't have faces, but their behaviour is enough to convey it. In Moria: Gandalf's reaction to hear Goblin drums beating, as the denizens of Moria have realised there are intruders in their home. Boromir's deadpan "They have a cave troll." Spoken in an almost Graham Chapman voice. Legolas gets a pretty good Oh Crap look when he realizes there's a Balrog down there. The Moria Goblins are also similarly terrified. Elrond has an Oh Crap reaction to the fact that Saruman is breeding an Orc army of his own. An army that can move in sunlight. Aragorn and Legolas are busy fighting the Uruk-Hai on Amon Hen, when suddenly they hear the Horn of Gondor being blown frantically. "Boromir!!!" Bernard Hill as King ThÃ©oden does a series of great Oh Crap faces: In The Two Towers, ThÃ©oden asks "Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?", then looks extremely unnerved when the Uruk-Hai answer by blasting a hole in the Deeping Wall. Two more in The Return of the King: the arrival of the Rohirrim at Minas Tirith where they see just how huge the orc army is, and then when it seems they've actually won, the Oliphaunts arrive. ThÃ©oden gets another when he sees the Witch-King coming right at him on its flying steed, in the moment before the Fell Beast bowls his horse over and drops it on him. The camera actually zooms and lingers on ThÃ©oden, who clearly lets out a sigh rather than, say, trying to dodge out of the way. Theoden's Death Glare after he's freed from Saruman causes a great Oh Crap face on Grima. The huge orc army gets their Oh Crap moment as the Rohirrim charge, completely ignoring the arrows and spears (slightly) thinning out their numbers. Gothmog in particular gets a close-up of his face turning from a confident grin to wide-eyed fear when he realizes the thousands of screaming madmen on horseback aren't even slowing down. There's also Saruman's reaction to the Ents trashing Isengard. It's exactly the face you'd expect to see if someone was woken up with the news that the trees had come alive and were trashing his yard. When Gandalf gives a big speech to the Gondorians about how they can fight whatever comes through the gate. When the first thing through is three huge trolls, Gandalf gets a look on his face like, "Well, I wasn't expecting that." The whole Battle of Minas Tirith is really a series of alternating Oh Crap moments for both sides. Denethor's Freak Out. The gate getting knocked down by Grond, the Rohirrim's arrival followed by the Oliphaunts. Gandalf nearly getting killed by the Witch-King, and then the latter getting destroyed by Ã‰owyn and Merry. And of course Aragorn bringing a big damn undead army to clean up the place. Eowyn at the battle of the Pelennor Fields when the Witch King, somewhat pissed at Eowyn for killing his fell beast, turns to face her and she sees that he is wielding a flail whose spike-ridden head is bigger than her torso. A subversion when Aragorn recruits the Army of the Dead. The opposing forces get their Oh Crap when Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn get off the boats and charge at them. They have their reaction BEFORE seeing that these three dudes brought an army of ghosts with them, at which point they simply panic. Similarly: Despite being nothing but a big CBS eye made out of flames, Sauron manages to convey his shock when he realizes his Soul Jar is at the one place it can be unmade. Merry, Aragorn and Gandalf's faces turn from triumph to horror when they see Mt. Doom implode, realising Frodo and Sam are still there. The collective expressions of the entire Mordor army when they realize their master Sauron has been defeated. There's something satisfying about seeing a big, scary troll running away like a little girl when Sauron is destroyed.

And there's Legolas specifically, of course, who shoots Orcs in the head while shield-surfing. It's never stated whether this is the Elves getting good from having had centuries of practice, being just that good due to being Elves (enhanced eyesight, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, etc.), or some combination of the two.

The Lord of the Rings / int_c181a846	type	Dies Differently in Adaptation
The Lord of the Rings / int_c181a846	comment	Dies Differently in Adaptation: At the climax of the story, Gollum dies while falling into Mount Doom with the Ring, but the book and the film depict the exact circumstances a bit differently. In the book, Gollum trips and falls over the precipice while celebrating his retaking of the Ring. This was filmed, but when translated to film this ending came off as too anticlimactic. A couple of other scenarios were tried, and what eventually made it to the screen was that Frodo, still caught in his own desire for the Ring, started struggling with Gollum for it again, eventually resulting in both falling over the precipice together. Gollum fell into the lava with the Ring, but Frodo managed to grab the ledge, and Sam managed to pull him up and out of immediate danger. It also allows Frodo to participate in the Ring's destruction, while also making Gollum not look like such an idiot as to fall into the lava all on his own. ThÃ©odred was killed in battle in the book, while in the movie he was only seriously wounded and brought back to Meduseld alive before succumbing to his wounds, possibly with assistance from GrÃma. The omission of the Scourging of the Shire led to Saruman and Grima's deaths being changed. In the book, Grima slashes Saruman's throat and is then killed by archers. In the film, he stabs him in the back and is then killed by Legolas. Saruman then falls from his tower onto a spiked waterwheel.

The Lord of the Rings / int_caf89e54	comment	Taking You with Me: There are quite a few examples of this trope in the trilogy: In the prologue of Fellowship of the Ring, we see Sauron explode once the Ring is severed from his hand. Though this may be subverted as the affected scores of Men and Elves were more likely blown off of their feet than killed; after all, Isildur was at ground zero, and survived with no sign of injury. The Balrog pulls Gandalf down the dark chasm with its fiery whip as it falls. Boromir takes down many Uruk-Hai as he is being pierced by Lurtz' arrows. Saruman threatens to do this to Theoden while he is in possession of him, but thankfully, Gandalf overpowers his spell. Then there is the Uruk-Hai suicide bomber that takes out the main wall of Helm's Deep and its Elven Archers. After seeing how the battle is lost, himself wounded, and the Witch King no more, Gothmog tries to kill an injured Eowyn. Thankfully, Aragorn and Gimli arrive just in time to take him down. Even the One Ring, using its influence, tries to make an extremely weakened Frodo give into despair and fall into the magma. But thanks to Sam, Frodo still had a little bit of strength left in him. Finally, there is the death of Sauron, in which he explodes for the second time, and in doing so, takes much of Mordor and his followers with him.

He is the one who created the Rings of Power, and the One Ring is trying to reunite with him throughout the books. It would be assumed that it is Frodo, which is even referenced when Pippin calls Frodo "Lord of the Ring," but Gandalf hushes him and tells him not to Speak of the Devil.

The Lord of the Rings / int_cf48c17	comment	Nightmare Face: In Fellowship of the Ring, when Bilbo wants to take a look at the One Ring. Holy crap! Frodo begins to channel this as the Ring begins to take a hold of him. Over the course of the second and third film, we see him gain tired, red bags under his eyes and his skin turn a deathly pale colour. During a fight with Sam, we see Frodo display a frenzied, almost feral, look in his eyes and begin to snarl in an all-too-familiar way... The Psychotic Smirk that Frodo displays when he finally submits to the Ring. Similar to the flashback with Isildur in film one.

The Lord of the Rings / int_d6a84ac8	comment	Villainous Badland, Heroic Arcadia: The Shire is very much an idyllic pastoral countryside, while the Hidden Elf Villages of Rivendell and Lothlorien are closely intertwined with the natural setting around them â€” Lothlorien itself is seamlessly integrated with the forest it's built into and out of. Saruman's fortress in Orthanc is a heavily industrialized waste, filled with smoke, burning forges constantly churning out weapons, and military camps packed with orcs. The movies make it a point to show Saruman destroying the former gardens and the nearby forest of Fangorn in the name of industrialization and war. Ironically played with in regards to Mordor itself. The northwestern parts of Mordor, known as the Plateau of Gorgoroth, fit the bill of a hostile, deserted wasteland, consisting chiefly of rocky barrens dominated by the looming shapes of Sauron's dark tower and the burning volcano of Mount Doom, but its southern half, according to the books, is covered in great swaths of incredibly fertile farmland and a large freshwater lake. Sauron uses human slaves to work farms in the area to feed his orc army. Naturally, however, we never actually see this region of Mordor, and it exists largely to justify how straight this trope is played in regards to the parts of Mordor we do see.

The Lord of the Rings / int_ea24a918	type	Lost in Imitation
The Lord of the Rings / int_ea24a918	comment	Lost in Imitation: Peter Jackson first encountered The Lord of the Rings via Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated film, and several events and shots in his trilogy are clearly influenced by it rather than the novels. In his DVD commentary on Fellowship of the Ring, Jackson acknowledges a low angle shot of a hobbit at Bilbo's birthday party shouting "Proudfeet!", as an intentional homage to Bakshi's film. The staging of the four hobbits all hiding under a big tree root while a Black Rider stalks above them comes almost directly from Bakshi, just shot at different angles. In the book the rider was further away, Frodo hid separately from the others, and Merry wasn't present). The scene of the NazgÃ»l entering the Prancing Pony and slashing the hobbits' beds only to reveal the shapes under the covers to actually be pillows is almost identical to Bakshi's version. In the novels the hobbits' beds are indeed padded before being slashed in the night, but this is reported rather than depicted and the townsfolk of Bree are to blame, not the NazgÃ»l themselves. Another plot point used in both films but foreign to the books is casting Ã‰omer as the leader of The Cavalry at the Battle of the Hornburg with the men who accompanied him in exile from Meduseld. In the novels, Ã‰omer is arrested rather than banished but is quickly freed once ThÃ©oden is himself again and fights beside and befriends Aragorn during the siege, while The Cavalry is led by the local lord Erkenbrand. In the novels, Wormtongue is described as a wizened figure with a pale face and heavy-lidded eyes. Bakshi & Jackson both depict him as more Obviously Evil with black hair, black clothes, and a skulking demeanor.

He fights the five of them off, setting most of them on fire. At Amon Hen, Merry and Pippin are surrounded by Uruk-hai; one runs in and seems to be ready to decapitate them (even though his orders say to bring them alive and unspoiled), when Boromir jumps right in between them and kills the Uruk. There's also a scene in The Two Towers when Merry and Pippin have been abducted and Pippin was about to be eaten by an orc when they were unintentionally rescued by the Riders of Rohan. They are saved again by Treebeard stomping on the orc a little later.

His underlings were not fond of him at all and served him far more out of fear than out of either respect or loyalty. Even the Nazgul were just puppets and extensions of his power. And Saruman thought of allegiance with him as nothing more than a convenience. Denethor clearly hit this by the time Mordor arrived at Minas Tirith. When Denethor finally snaps in the face of Mordor's army and orders his men to desert their posts, Gandalf whacks him unconscious with his staff, and then proceeds to take control of Minas Tirith's defence. No one stops Gandalf from doing this, and everyone immediately starts following Gandalf's orders.

Jackson even helpfully points this out in the commentary. A circle-round shot of the four hobbits at Weathertop is also lifted from the original, although the camera moves much faster and Aragorn is absent. Same goes for the four hobbits hiding under a root by the wayside with the NazgÃ»l leaning in above them. Not exactly an homage shot, but the NazgÃ»l attacking the Hobbits' room at the Prancing Pony was drawn from Bakshi's film. In the books, it's explicitly stated by Aragorn that they would not have openly attacked the inn in this manner, and that their assailants were instead Men of Bree under their influence.

He's an old-time Westerner and was raised by elves. The filmmakers thought that audiences wouldn't believe that a normal human wouldn't be tempted by the Ring (as the book never gives a compelling reason for this either) so in the movie he follows in his brother's footsteps and tries to get the Ring to Gondor, due to massive angst over being the less-favoured son. The scene of Denethor treating Faramir as The Un-Favourite also was added to justify this change.

The Lord of the Rings / int_f33ff01c	type	Adaptational Context Change
The Lord of the Rings / int_f33ff01c	comment	Adaptational Context Change: Numerous lines and events are taken from the books but given a different meaning by changing the context or speaker. In the book, Gandalf is the Fellowship member most in favour of going through the mines of Moria, against the objections of Aragorn especially. The film, by contrast, plays up both his foreknowledge and his angst about Durin's Bane and thus insist, "I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice." In the novel, Gandalf is pulled clear off the bridge and into the chasm by the Balrog's whip and shouts his last words as he's already falling. In the film, the whip disentangles while he's still clinging to the ledge and he intentionally lets go rather than let the Fellowship return to help him. As he enters Lothlorien in the film, Frodo hears Galadriel's disembodied voice say, "Your coming to us is as the footsteps of doom. You bring great evil here, Ringbearer," in an ominous Doomy Dooms of Doom to play up the image of the "Elf witch of terrible power" currently being described by Gimli. In the novel, she describes his coming as "the footsteps of Doom" while explaining that destroying the One Ring will likely also end the power of the Elven Ring she's using to enchant Lothlorien, thus putting the Elves in a Morton's Fork between immediate destruction and slow decay. In the book, "Heed no nightly noises" is said by both Goldberry and Tom Bombadil in their house in the Old Forest on the borders of the Shire. After cutting Bombadil from the film, the screenwriters decided to instead give this line and some others to Treebeardnote Notably "gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning: destroyers and usurpers!" — what trees think of humans in general, so it's an appropriate line for Treebeard in Fangorn forest. This changes the meaning of the line from, "No matter what you hear tonight, it won't harm you," to something more like, "Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite." Gandalf's description of Ã‰owyn is changed to something Grima says to her directly. As Peter Jackson says, it was less important who said it than that be said about Ã‰owyn. In the film, Gandalf's healing of Theoden is portrayed as a full-on exorcism and visible de-aging of Theoden himself, whereas in the novel it's more a casting down of Wormtongue and a breaking of the supernatural cloud of despair infecting Theoden's hall. The events around the Battle of Helm's Deep are all twisted about. In the film, Theoden refuses Gandalf's advice to fight Saruman in the open on the grounds that his main force is too far away with the banished Eomer, so he must abandon vulnerable Edoras for the fortress of Helm's Deep. However, this plan is treated as inherently wrong by Aragorn and Gandalf, the latter of whom rides off to retrieve Eomer apparently in defiance of Theoden even though the king only said summoning him was unfeasible, not unwanted. In the novels, by contrast, Theoden immediately accepts Gandalf's advice to call up all his forces and immediately leads his household guard to join the forces already defending the Westfold while the rest of his forces assemble. In the film, the Rohirrim are then attacked en route and badly mauled on the plains merely by Saruman's warg riders, proving Gandalf's open-battle plan wrongheaded, yet Theoden is still portrayed as a Perilous Old Fool for persisting with his Helm's Deep plan, especially after Aragorn returns to report their enemies' true numbers. Contrariwise, in the novels, it is precisely upon learning the true size of Saruman's host and that the Westfold men have already been defeated and scattered with many fleeing to Helm's Deep with their women and children that Gandalf himself urges Theoden to join them there while he rallies the other survivors. Thus, in the novels, Theoden and Gandalf are in agreement on fighting at Helm's Deep and Theoden himself provides the enheartening last-minute reinforcements embodied by Haldir's Elves in the film. Wormtongue's release. After being allowed to leave Edoras, Wormtongue arrives in Isengard seemingly within hours and immediately provides Saruman (and the audience) with several key insights into the weaknesses of Helm's Deep and Theoden's plans to retreat there, thus prompting both the Warg-rider attack and the breach of the Deeping Wall, which can make letting him go seem like pure Good Is Dumb and Nice Job Breaking It, Hero at least in The Two Towers. Not so in the novel, where Wormtongue—to his great dismay—only arrives in Isengard after it has been flooded by the Ents. Sam's monologue at the end of The Two Towers about how their situation is "like in the great stories," is transplanted from their camping at Cirith Ungol where it was only part of a series of musings Sam had while chatting lightly with Frodo after passing Minas Morgul. The film placed it much earlier, during the battle in Osgiliath, and made Sam utter it as a shocked, heartfelt revelation about their fears and hopes, which the speech pretty much summed up. Gollum's reaction diverges too, as in the book he wasn't present and thus never heard it, while in the film he was right there with them and was uncharacteristically moved by Sam's words in one of his most redeeming moments. In the book, Sam wakes up to find Gollum crouched over Frodo and accuses him of "sneaking" when Gollum was actually on the verge of repentance, but Sam's words harden his animosity towards the hobbits and his resolve to feed them to Shelob. In the movie, Sam surprises Gollum disposing of the lembas, and uses the same language on him. In this context, Sam's accusation is more justified and lacks the negative consequences of the original. Upon accepting the reforged Anduril in the third film, Aragorn utters the Elvish words, Onen i-Estel Edain, u-chebin estel anim, ("I gave Hope to Men; I have kept no hope for myself") either to illustrate lingering doubts about his own ability to lead (see Adaptational Angst Upgrade) or chances of success. In the novels, these are the last words of Aragorn's own mother Gilraen shortly before she died in despair for the future.note In Gilraen's context, Estel (capitalized) is also clearly a play on Aragorn's selfsame childhood nickname. In the book, Ã‰owyn says the line "Do you not know?" to Faramir to let him know that she's fallen in love with him. In the movie, her relationship with Faramir is downplayed, and her feelings for Aragorn emphasised, so the line is said to Aragorn instead. Sam's vision of the star over the Ephel DÃºath shows up in the extended edition of the movies, but is given slightly different significance. In the book, the vision is a private experience of Sam's that gives him strength to continue the journey. In the movie, Sam points out the star in order to encourage Frodo, taking the focus off of Sam's inner struggle and shifting it to Frodo's need for support.

Subverted with Frodo, who just couldn't get over the psychological scars he had endured. Hence why he felt so out of place despite being back home. Played straight with Sam as he walks back to his home and family after parting with Frodo at the Grey Havens, albeit bittersweetly.

The Lord of the Rings / int_f722f635	comment	Great Offscreen War: Not a typical example, as it takes place at the same time, rather than before, the main conflict—but in the extended edition of RotK, there is a moment when Gimli says that he wishes he had Dwarf warriors beside him. Legolas replies that he fears the Dwarves are already at war; anyone who has read the appendices knows that both of their homelands (Erebor and Mirkwood, respectively) are indeed fighting Sauron's armies in the north. The Dwarves even lose their king in the conflict. The fighting around Gondor is a sideshow by comparison to the scale of the attacks on Erebor and Mirkwoodnote Giving the Dwarves their homeland back by killing Smaug in The Hobbit is in fact the one of the reasons Gandalf helped them in that quest; he wants a strong, Dwarven-controlled Erebor to help stand against the eventual attacks from Mordor (the other reason is to prevent Smaug from being a wild-card problem they have to deal with, if not an outright ally of Sauron).

You bring great evil here, Ringbearer," in an ominous Doomy Dooms of Doom to play up the image of the "Elf witch of terrible power" currently being described by Gimli. In the novel, she describes his coming as "the footsteps of Doom" while explaining that destroying the One Ring will likely also end the power of the Elven Ring she's using to enchant Lothlorien, thus putting the Elves in a Morton's Fork between immediate destruction and slow decay.

A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example: early in The Fellowship of the Ring the four Hobbits stop for "second breakfast," but Aragorn pushes them on. Pippin complains, so a couple of apples come flying out of the bushes from Aragorn's general direction. One hits Pippin in the head, and he looks up at the sky in confusion. Much later, just after the Ents have trashed Isengard in The Two Towers, Pippin mentions that he's hungry, then sees some apples floating in the water. He grabs one, then looks up in the same manner.

ThÃ©oden, when the subject was first broached by Aragorn, was bitter over Gondor not sending any help to Rohan during their devastating fight... when he actually gets the call, though, he personally leads The Cavalry.

The Lord of the Rings / int_fe614133	comment	Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Frodo is badly stabbed on Weathertop, and later loses a finger, Boromir catches several arrows in his chest, Aragorn spends the whole trilogy bloody, bruised and scraped. Practically all of the cast is harassed by either the Watcher in the Water or a cave troll. But all pretty boy Legolas gets over the course of the trilogy is a bruise and a little smudge of dirt. Ã‰owyn made it through almost the entire Battle of the Pelennor Fields unscathed, with nary a cut or bruise... until the Witch-King smashes her shield (and shield-arm) with his gigantic flail. ThÃ©oden also gets a spear in the shoulder during the battle of Helm's Deep. He's not badly injured, due to his armour, but he has to switch his sword to his other hand for a bit. During the "Flight to the Ford" scene, Arwen gets a small cut on her cheek from a branch (due to being on a high-speed horse run), but is otherwise unharmed.
