I still can't get over the fact that when the main Uruk throws that dagger at Aragorn he actually slipped on his throw and threw the damn thing at Viggo, who like a fucking boss, reacts and knocks it away.

Or how Viggo later breaks his foot when he kicks a helmet but rolls with it, adding an emotional weight to a scene that otherwise might not have had it.

I'm also convinced that Peter Jackson was trying to kill the poor guy, lol.

Don't forget him almost drowning in the floating down the river scene in The Two Towers, too.

The scene with a live orchestra.

If they ever do this anywhere near where you live, go to it. It's wonderful.

In tears.

Agreed Boromoir is the most interesting character and by far the most human. His death also showed Aragorn that their was still courage in the men of Gondor, and that the city was worth saving. And helped him accept his role as king.

Frantically searching now to see if this is a thing within reasonable distance of me. My god, I would be in floods.

Part of the reason Fellowship is probably my favorite in the trilogy.

 

[Mr Git]

I love him. Such a good scene and just brilliant casting.

I would have followed you, my brother... my captain... my king.

A fucking masterpiece. How can something evoke such an emotional response in me when I've seen it so many times already.

This whole sequence just holds up so well. The acting. The amazing practical special effects that will never go out of date unlike other parts of the trilogy. The brutal sword fight. Sword fights to the death in real life are not long, and Aragorn vs the Uruk shows that. It's a short struggle, where a small change would alter who came out on top.

Vigo, Sean Bean, the writers, Howard Shore, Jackson, anyone else involved, and of course Tolkien. Just a big fucking thank you.

I saw it a few years ago and it's absolutely stunning. The music is truly remarkable live.

I had a dream about Sean Bean last night

I had a dream about Sean Bean last night

Did he died?

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Did he died?

I cant remember. Probably.

 

[FeD.nL]

It's of course hindsight but Bean should've gotten the nomination over McKellen for FotR. He brought so much more to the character. Just an absolutely fantastic performance.

Still sharp...

Well, it was a damn good scene. The fight in particular was probably the only time we got to see the "real" Boromir in that entire film (free of the Ring's taint), and holy shit, was he a force to be reckoned with against those orcs. He was buried with the weapons of his fallen enemies, and there were a lot of them.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Yeah Bean was awesome in LOTR. I love the extended editions because you get to see more of him.

The one thing I remember most from that scene is Aragorn's aggressive staring.
