The placement in the extended edition of Return of the King with the Witch-King saying “The world of men will fall” right before being interrupted by the hope filled horn blasts signalling the arrival of the Rohirrim at Pelennor Fields is god tier. Just so perfect.

Finished one of my favorite battles in game recently! I've done the main quests a few times on a few characters and I always get sad about it all. I really need to finish reading the books too 😖 it inspires me every time but I get sidetracked every time

I'm still sad I missed screenshots of the Ride of the Rohirrim speech, but I was too busy sitting there watching and listening like a dork lol

But at least I got to see Golodir 🥺

I was there. Shouting DEATH! with everyone else. It was epic. I am tearing up just remembering. I watched this film with so many people, all together with the same love and passion.

The Ride of the Rohirrim remains THE best charge scene in cinema history. It gets me amped up EVERY single time.

The scale for any charge scene in a movie is one to Rohirrim.

#NOTHING GETS ME HYPE LIKE 6000 MEN SCREAMING DEAAATTHHHH #lotr #ride of the rohirrim #lotr shitpost #lotr rohan #only avengers end game has come remotely close #and that was mostly the scale of the heroes and Wanda absolutely WRECKING thanos

[cryingovermath]

I am only slightly ashamed to say that i've watched the lord of the rings in original for the first time, because more than that i am in absolute awe of the accents. (especially Éomer's rohirrim... But honestly all of Rohan sounds just very wild)

And yes, the dabing captures some of that as well, but it's so different from usual "movie english" it's the best

Men clashed spear upon shield. ‘Éomer, my son! You lead the first éored ,’ said Théoden; ‘and it shall go behind the king’s banner in the centre. Elfhelm, lead your company to the right when we pass the wall. And Grimbold shall lead his towards the left. Let the other companies behind follow these three that lead, as they have chance. Strike wherever the enemy gathers. Other plans we cannot make, for we know not yet how things stand upon the field. Forth now, and fear no darkness!’ RETURN OF THE KING: THE RIDE OF THE ROHIRRIM

I legit got goosebumps when the audience started yelling "Death" with the scene.

#I'M LITERALLY FUCKING CRYING #THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SCENE #lotr #ride of the rohirrim live orchestra #for anyone bothered by the applause and cheers in the middle #these types of performances actively encourage the audience to show their excitement and joy #If it was strictly the scores from the movie it would probably be a different story #Youtube

Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.

No matter how many times I read this, I still get goosebumps.

assorted doug eiffel fantasy genre thoughts that will never cohere into a proper post but i want to say anyway: love that lotr is one of his more-frequently-referenced series. doug eiffel is the guy who is dying to tell you viggo mortensen broke his toes while kicking that helmet. thinking about gabriel urbina saying eiffel's favorite game of thrones character was robb and, doing the math, they realized the last episode to air before he left earth would've been the one right before the red wedding. thinking about the not-technically-canon dnd script and how he would be so so insufferable to dm for because he has his character's whole story planned out and he gets frustrated every time the game doesn't adhere to it. doug eiffel is the guy who gets really annoying about other people not doing their character voices. and you'd think maybe he would be a better dm than a player, if he wants to tell wild stories and do character voices so badly, but he would never be willing to plan for it and he insists he wants to play even though it makes him mad every time. doug eiffel has a very specific and very fervent pet peeve about the prevalence of giant spiders in high fantasy and you should not get him started.

#i want to take him to the ren faire #this isn't worth tagging but. i want to talk about him so too bad. #wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #i like to think lotr is one of the things eiffel and hera could agree on #but she reads the books first and actually thinks in terms of themes so she's like ohh i get it and starts talking about #how it values the small deeds of everyday people and has so much emphasis on life. even as the world is changing beyond recognition #and eiffel is like yeah uh huh that's totally what i was going to say #but he was actually just excited to be like now you can watch the movies the ride of the rohirrim is soo cool #she would compare him to faramir and he wouldn't get that that's a compliment because he thinks it'd be cooler to be aragorn #that's his problem. #anyway. still thinking about bard eiffel. wonderful to me

Now, is the hour come, Riders of the Mark, sons of Eorl! Foes and fire are before you, and your homes far behind. Yet, though you fight upon an alien field, the glory that you reap there shall be your own for ever. Oaths ye have taken: now fulfill them all, to lord and land and league of friendship!

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Where now is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?

Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?

Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?

Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?

They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;

The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,

Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

At last Gandalf halted and beckoned to them; and they came, and saw that beyond him the mists had cleared, and a pale sunlight shone.

in all seriousness the last march of the ents & the whole ending of the two towers is like. truly in my top 5 cinema moments. it's about the love it's hope it's taking grief and not letting in drown you it's trust in other people like the last 15-30 minutes of the movie are what lord of the rings is all about return of the king is the conclusion of love and hope but the two towers is to have these even at the lowest, hardest point in the journey. this sequence is truly the best this franchise has to offer

#no one cares eli #the shire must be a great realm master gamgee where gardeners are held in high honor #there's some good in this world mr frodo and it's worth fighting for #you said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it they still defend it they have died defending it #the ents go to war it is likely we go to our doom last march of the ents #what can men do against such reckless hate? ride out and meet them #the horn of helm hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time #let this be the hour where we draw swords together #theoden king stands alone - not alone. rohirrim! #release the river as if the dam for industrial military is a prison #don't you know your sam and you know what. anything samwise gamgee #the way frodo drops the sword when he understands it's sam he aimed it at #you've shown your quality captain faramir the very highest #merry and pipping fiding their weed from home in isengard #like i could go on ok this is just SO good
