It is not to say I am not impressed by what computers can do. All three of the OG LOTR films used computers heavily, but a mix is always best. No one has a Balrog laying around to use as an actor but at the same time, a charge with horses is doable with time and effort.

You should watch Waterloo for pure "thousands of extras" kino
Gettysburg too

Well yes, of course they had heavy computer use too. But they still were on location, and Gollum, while wearing that suit, was still there. They wore the Armor, handled the weapons etc.
I think theres even a Interview where someone says "That makes all the difference instead of having some yellow ball there you talk to"
No wonder Vigo didnt go and make a "Cameo" in the Hobbit for "OH ITS THE OLD MVIES GUY" points. Fuck Orlando for letting them shove fucking Legolas into those movies though.

Charge of the Light Brigade

I think Andy Serkis said he had to do each scene twice (once on the set and once in a motion capture studio) but that as the tech improved, they managed to cut that down to just his one performance on set that was motion captured

Of course the meta story behind Gollum is inspirational. Originally he was only going in for a voice acting role. They went all out and it payed off beyond any of their dreams.
Same can be said for most of the extreme choices they made. Jackson was always known as a man who would go to far, but make it work. I doubt anyone else could have directed these adaptions.
He would do it once with actors, once in a green room to fully capture movement and sound. The behind the scenes are on youtube and they go in depth for each movie, his process and all. Impressive.

I think thats the mainthing, Hollywood hates fucking taking Risks. Why take Risks when safe, apeals to most people storys with the depth of a puddle can be delivered with CGI fuckery. Just, have the Hulk punch a really big thing, have someone anounce it with a quip, slip in a joke made for ten year olds. Or just redo something old with CGI. BAM, Billion.
Why risk giving some fat neckbeard millions of budget to do shit that can go horribly wrong and, more importantly, which cant be just changed in post production like a 90% CGI fest can be?

Fun fact: more than half of the Rohirrim were women
They needed extras that could ride horses well and they couldn't get enough men, but plenty of women showed up
The guy you see accelerate during the Rohirrim charge was a woman, and it wasn't scripted, she just got caught up in the hype and the assistant director really liked it

Sala was a fucking bro, he played so many solid roles in all the films. The fact he legitimately could not use the prop is a testament to how nuts Jackson was. Looks incredible on film though, like something a man would never use in a fight but the Witch King would.
It's made me dive deeper into film if anything. Good film is still made but rarely with any kind of budget. You need great actors with solid scripts. Rare but worth seeking out. The LOTR films are an exception among exceptions.

>Jackson was always known as a man who would go to far, but make it work.
Too bad he completely got wrong the 60fps meme during The Hobbit.

Sala wasn't the Witch King though, there was another stuntman that played him, and he was bigger than Sala
Sala played Sauron but they cut the fight in the end

I don't know if I blame him for that. The Hobbit films where mishandled like fucking crazy on all sides. Swapping directors, number of films, scripts, actors, fucking everything was confused.
At a certain point the men with the money get concerned and there is not much an artist can do when he can't afford the paint to make the painting.
Really? I could have swore it was Sala, huh maybe I am mistaken. It's been a while. In any case we agree it was a very large man and a far too large prop. But it worked.

It was a different maori big guy, the same who played Lurtz and Gothmog

The most large-scale one is Sergey Bondarchuk's War and Peace, but it's state-produced as any other Soviet movie.

thats you lot.

If it is weak, it dies. So what?

I hate how people misunderstand the One Ring and always ask what is its power
The Ring has no powers for anyone except for Sauron, even the "invisibility" isn't really invisibility, it's just transporting to the wraith realm, where Sauron can clearly see it. All the Ring does is mind control and bullshit people into thinking it's powerful.

>isn't really invisibility, it's just transporting to the wraith realm, where Sauron can clearly see it.
How come he couldn't see it when Bilbo regularly used it in Mirkwood despite Sauron being around the same place too?

>The Empire's?
It's easy to hum, and more recognizable, but Sauron's theme conveys the existential dread of relentless evil which is against all the good in this world.

Empire's theme is "cool" - in the sense that you can roleplay as stoic antagonists with their own code of values. Sauron's theme conveys the evil itself which you cannot sympathize with by your human nature.

His cock wasn't big enough yet, unironically.

Imagine fighting a pretend war.

Horrible CGI

>>any movie with enough budget to hire hundreds of riders in armor would instead just greenscreen it all

>I hate how people misunderstand the One Ring and always ask what is its power

>Makes a post about how akshually it is

My favourite trope.
The Ring can give its wearer whatever power he wishes, given that his own power matches it. This is why the most Hobbits can do is to be transported into the Unseen realm, unless they put their will to it, but it takes too much effort.

The likes of Gandalf or Galadriel would wield immeasurable power which would allow them to overthrow Sauron himself; but given the corrupting nature of the Ring, they wouldn't be able to give it up, and would become a new Dark Lord themselves. This is why Sauron's so anxious to find it - if the ring were useless, he wouldn't worry about it, since a new master would be enslaved by it, like the Nazgûl or Gollum. But he fears it would fall in the hands of someone who can match him. This is another reason why he attacks Minas Tirith ahead of the schedule after Aragorn brandishes Anduril in the Palantír - he's afraid of the the descendant of ancient Númenórean kings.

gay post and poster

Literally the most retarded scene in the movie, but since it's LOLTR all the basement dwelling nerds jizz their diapers. No cavalry unit, no matter how heavily armed, would ride straight into a horde of Pike weilding heavy armor orcs, it would be a massacre. Heavy cavalry was only used to trample down peasants with Spears, in face of elite armoured orc units no sane Commander would consiously decide to charge into the ball of death and get shredded to pieces. Cavalry was used to flank and harass units at the edge to weaken the centre and allow it to cave in when the infantry showed up.

But of course since this is LOLTR the good brave handsome guys have to win in the most flamboyant manner possibly while the evil ugly black coward monsters get run down because "muh good triumphs over evil". Even fucking GOT had better battle scenes than this trash. Jackson is a fucking hack.

>"It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face.

Yes because ordering your lightly armored cavalry to charge straight into an undead horde that outnumbers them 100:1 is much more believable than an elite cavarly unit of a kingdom known for its fearsome riders mowing down undisciplined unorganized band of orcs while they are distracted. Retard.

Im surprised they even bothered with props like weapons and armor I would expect them to just hold placeholder sticks

*AHEM*
>It is recorded that the Polish cavalry slowly emerged from the forest to the cheers of the onlooking infantry, which had been anticipating their arrival. At 4:00 pm the hussars first entered into action, battering the Ottoman lines and approaching the Türkenschanze, which was now threatened from three sides (the Poles from the west, the Saxons and the Bavarians from the northwest and the Austrians from the north). At that point the Ottoman vizier decided to leave this position and retreat to his headquarters in the main camp further south. However, by then many Ottomans were already leaving the battlefield.[11]

>The allies were now ready for the last blow. At around 6:00 pm the Polish king ordered the cavalry attack in four groups, three Polish and one from the Holy Roman Empire—18,000 horsemen charged down the hills, the largest cavalry charge in history.[34][35] Sobieski led the charge[18]:661 at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars". The Muslim Lipka Tatars who fought on the Polish side wore a sprig of straw in their helmets to distinguish them from the Tatars fighting on the Ottoman side.[36] The charge easily broke the lines of the Ottomans, who were exhausted and demoralized and soon started to flee the battlefield. The cavalry headed straight for the Ottoman camps and Kara Mustafa's headquarters, while the remaining Viennese garrison sallied out of its defenses to join in the assault.[18]:661

No, you are talking about light cavalry, whole point of heavy cavalry was charge heavy infantry and break their formation. Wanna know something else that sounds retarded but actually happened? In the Battle of Loudoun Hill, the Scottish pikemen camped on a hill, so the English thought they could charge the hill with their heavy cavalry and win, that is how much they placed trust in heavy cavalry.

The entire point of orcs having insane numbers is that they're fucking shit fighters. There are no elite orcs. Even the uruks were jobbers. They had shoddy armor made hastily in order to suit tens of thousands. Orcs also tend to be fucking cowards, which is clearly highlighted in the very scene where they all fucking drop their guard when they realize the cavalry charge isn't stopping.

My favourite scene is actually in the opening, when Elrond gives the order to fire and you can see the arrows flying through the elven formation, moving Elrond's hair slightly as they pass

Horn of Helmhammerhand or Mumakil Horn?

People bitch about ghost armies a lot (and for good reasons mind you) but I feel the biggest betrayal of Tolkiens "vision" was the utter nerfing of both Gondorian and Elven soldiers. The book very explicitly states that they were all uberchads and it was only the neverending swarming masses of orcs that managed to overwhelm them, we see too many trained warriors dying 1v1 to feral creatures given weapons

The horn combined with the trampling feet of a dozen oliphants and that eerie chanting, and no music to distort it was probably the best piece of sound design in the trilogy

Not that user but he's somewhat right, heavy cavarly charges were almost never the first option to attack the opposing infantry, they were mostly deployed only when the opposing infantry unit wavered or broke. In your post this seems to be exactly the case, the full force of the cavalry was deployed when the ottomans were battle weary, demoralized and beginning to run. There have been instances of a heavy cavalry defeating a armed infantry unit, but not many, and even in that case the losses were heavy on the cavalry side.

I think he did mention that heavy cavalry was used to slaughter hastily gathered peasants with arms, but in all heavy cavalry almost never engaged a well armed infantry unit. It's the whole reason why in the 17-18th century cavalry morphed into a much lighter form, because pikemen were all the craze in those times and fared very well against heavy cavalry charges.

I don't think you know much of military history. I just gave example of heavy cavalry charging uphill against pikemen.

No, armor morphed because gunpowder made heavy armor pointless

Read the book or something. I'm not going to entertain your headcanon.

Kek I cant take these films seriously after seeing the behind the scenes stuff.

You're the one spinning the yarn, m8. That's literally what Sauron made the ring for. The book never implies it has any other power. I didn't make that up.

>The book never implies it has any other power. I didn't make that up.

Ahem.
>Alas, no,' said Elrond. 'We cannot use the Ruling Ring. That we now know too well. It belongs to Sauron and was made by him alone, and is altogether evil. Its strength, Boromir, is too great for anyone to wield at will, save only those who have already a great power of their own. But for them it holds an even deadlier peril. The very desire of it corrupts the heart. Consider Saruman. If any of the Wise should with this Ring overthrow the Lord of Mordor, using his own arts, he would then set himself on Sauron's throne, and yet another Dark Lord would appear. And that is another reason why the Ring should be destroyed: as long as it is in the world it will be a danger even to the Wise. For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so. I fear to take the Ring to hide it. I will not take the Ring to wield it.'

I never said it didn't happen, I said it happened very rarely, and mostly against hastily gathered villagers with lower tier arms. Plus in your case the Knights were actually slaughtered by the Scottish, so you've used a very poor example to state your case.

Also the 16th century guns were still not as widely spread as later, cavalry morphed into lighter forms to counter the pikeman formation which was adopted because it was cheap and so effective against heavy knights. So I'd counter it's you needs to be better read at history

Yes? I know those passages well. Nothing about it contradicts what I said, or supports your fantasy.

G8 b8 m8. But whatever.
>`I would ask one thing before we go,' said Frodo, `a thing which I often meant to ask Gandalf in Rivendell. I am permitted to wear the One Ring: why cannot I see all the others and know the thoughts of those that wear them? '

>`You have not tried,' she said. `Only thrice have you set the Ring upon your finger since you knew what you possessed. Do not try! It would destroy you. Did not Gandalf tell you that the rings give power according to the measure of each possessor? Before you could use that power you would need to become far stronger, and to train your will to the domination of others. Yet even so, as Ring-bearer and as one that has borne it on finger and seen that which is hidden, your sight is grown keener. You have perceived my thought more clearly than many that are accounted wise. You saw the Eye of him that holds the Seven and the Nine. And did you not see and recognize the ring upon my finger? Did you see my ring? ' she asked turning again to Sam.

>'No, Lady,' he answered. `To tell you the truth, I wondered what you were talking about. I saw a star through your finger.

I think I know where you got your ideas from now, but you're misinterpreting the text.

>Its strength, Boromir, is too great for anyone to wield at will, save only those who have already a great power of their own.
The ring has a mind of its own. Power in this context doesn't mean magic, but the strength of will to bend the ring to serve the user. It's about one's mental character, not superpowers.

>Did not Gandalf tell you that the rings give power according to the measure of each possessor?
This simply means that a person can wield the ring only as well as they are able to control it. Not that the ring gives them "the ability to do whatever they want". That's simply wrong. To begin with, Sauron made the ring for himself and only himself. Why would he make it gift special abilities to the user, when he is already a peerless sorcerer?

>Before you could use that power you would need to become far stronger, and to train your will to the domination of others.
See? This is what the ring does.

Imagine being so autistic that you literally cannot separate reality from fiction instead breaking down into tears whenever a movie doesn't exactly match your version of history. It's a fucking movie and you sir desperately need to have sex.

Nice strawman, but I didn't deny this. And I said that among those who Sauron feared to have the ring was Aragorn who doesn't possess "magic" but has great willpower.
>This simply means that a person can wield the ring only as well as they are able to control it.
Except even the lesser Rings of power give tangible abilities, like granting the command of rivers (which allowed Elrond to drown the riders), changing the perception of time, transporting to the Unseen realm, kindling the spirits, et cetera.
>Why would he make it gift special abilities to the user, when he is already a peerless sorcerer?
Because the only reason the Ring is so powerful is because he literally poured his essence into it. For one thing, he wrought the Morannon, Towers of Teeth, the Barad-dûr with the power of the ring, and they crambled after its destruction. And beings of great will can wrestle control over it from Sauron, but due to its malicious nature, they will be corrupted and become in his likeness.

The LOTR soundtrack is literally some of the best music ever written.

And I genuinely laugh when people put over movie's soundtracks over it. Movies like Jaws have 1-2 great tracks, LOTR has like 30.

In the commentary for RotK someone says that the reason for why Minas Tirith's defenses seem so shoddy and for why we see Gondor soldiers get bodied 1v1 by orcs is because the force Denethor sends on a suicide charge to retake Osgiliath was supposed to represent the last of the City's veteran soldiers. The majority of the forces that remained at Minas Tirith were by comparison green recruits and garrison conscripts.

I'm pretty sure that it was due to needing to make a last minute climax for AUJ after two movies became three and there wasn't any time to compose and score a new piece of music so they put the first thing they could find from the LotR soundtrack

>just open microsoft word and use a big font

Offical Tolkien Word font when?

disgusting

its funny how you can put the precise phrases of music with their quotes

alright lindybeige. how about carrhae, when the parthian horse charged the roman foot

I'd say that's more Rohan's theme than Theoden's

What are your favorite horns from LOTR?

For me it's Rohan.

They didn't cut the Sauron fight they painted over him with CGI to make him a troll.

Well the song is called Théoden King in the OST
There's some in Edoras as well but I prefer this one

can someone post that scene from the extended version of the hobbit where some physics breaking shit happens with a troll or something? can't quite remember what happened. Gandalf was there watching it...

6 hours of chink kino

Not in he complete recordings (scroll down)

I would rather not see it to be perfectly honest

>a charge with horses is doable with time and effort.
Not with PETA and other groups around. Apparently making a horse do more than stand in a field eating and shitting is "torture".

... which Denethor, who was insane, sent to its death trying to retake Osgiliath

Parthian horses never charged Roman infantry. They just got in a shit ton of horse archers. Normally Romans would be content to wait out the barrage of arrows, but in this case the parthians had a couple camel riders collecting arrows off the battlefield to resupply their ammo. The Romans were worn down bit by bit, until finally the Lancers were brought in to take them down, after Crassus son had been killed leading a sortie to the Parthians. They retreated, got hunted down and the rest is history. Parthians lost only 27 of their soldiers that day to the 60000 or so Roman dead

Because they pay for everything and CHI is extremely expensive and time-consuming

Not him but I remember Imrahil for example showing up, surely he brought some Swan Knights with him and not just militia

I still find it retarded that they defeated a bunch of dinosar sized elephants and their ten times larger army. They werent even orcs so tgey fought better. Also i find it hard to believe a horse wouldnt shit itself seeing those huge elephants. One more thing, why didnt sauron teleport to the forge room and kill frodo when he felt his ring was there. He doesbthis really neat battle with gandalf then goes timid when he gets beat by a woman?

The nazful theme is the 9 notes of the rings theme played all at once. The music in these movies is phenomenonal.

Harad

I'm not talking about the book, this was apparently the writers' explanation for why Mina's turrets defenders seemed so incompetent. I don't remember if it's part of deleted scenes or if this explanation ever made it into the movies at all, but it's apparently supposed to tie into how den of Thor's madness was actively sabotaging the defender's efforts

Mina's Tirith*

>coin spinning on the catapult lever and only activating it when it falls
Everything about this scene is like a comedy, what the fuck

>No cavalry unit, no matter how heavily armed, would ride straight into a horde of Pike weilding heavy armor orcs
are you forgetting that the city was under seige and they had no choice?

>scenes women will never understand

youtube.com/watch?v=lChJz2DSpsE

Are you forgetting that there's something called a flanking maneuver and seeing that the orcs didn't have any cavalry of their own they were virtually undefended at their flanks and completely vulnerable to a basic pincer movement that would destroy both ends with minimum casualties and cause the rest to break thereby leading to a massacre that would stain the land with orc blood for centuries to come? It's a far superior strategy to charging in straight and having your own frontlines ripped to shreds by orc pikes, hell one could argue the very existence of cavalry centres around flanking opposing infantry movements and harrasing their extremes till one gives in causing a total route

This track has action-y stuff mixed in, but everything involving the hobbits completely guts me. Especially 4:50 and the big crescendo at the end

Anyone else find Gothmog a huge badass? Him and the guy that succeeded Lurtz are my favorite orcs

hes a campy villain

I read the book a million years ago, if I remember right, the other Rangers joined Aragon for the Black gate's fight, (always felt that when he says "my brothers" in the movie is a sort of reference to that), but was there any exchange of dialogues in the book, anything specific?

I always loved this scene. In the book they had no hope of actually winning but they knew what duty was so they were almost joyous about their coming death. The backdrop of these warriors serve as a contrast to Eowyn who is seeking the same death for the wrong reason.

I agree but only for meta reasons.

Go forth and fear no darkness

I think the rangers first showed up when they were visiting the defeated Saruman. That's when they gave him the banner and necklace from Arwen.

Yes, the Grey Company joins them and helps them capture the Umar ship, then they go on to fight at the Black Gate

No, he just considers the rest of the men of the west to be his brothers and equals

Ah I see, thanks, dayum, they could have squeezed so many more hours out of LoTr, but oh well, is already quite lenghty as it is, even if I always hoped they would film a sort of What-If, by doing the Retaking of Hobbiton.

Why did Peter Jackson betray us with the Hobbit bros?

Studios meddling, rushed production,secrets only the Jew know.

>"Oy Vey, Mr Jackson, we've been hearing rumours you plan to make the Hobbit in two parts and not three?"
"Yes, it's a short childrens book"
>"Oy Gevalt, what a holocaust, Mr Jackson, we are missing out on a third film worth of shekels here"
"It'll be hard to make the source material last two films, let alone 3"
>"A shoah, right here in my office, remember the 2 billion, Mr Jackson, we demand you make stuff up, invent new characters, show popular characters from Lord of the Rings, lots and lots of CGI"
"Yes, my chosen one"
>"One last thing you Goy animal, we hear the dragon has 4 legs... it only needs 2 to walk, many shekels will be saved"

>mede guillermo del toro tells kikes to fuck off
>beady eyed anglo hackson bows to the jew

The anglo strikes again.

People might laugh, but this is pretty much what happened.

There was more threatening involved.

This is an example of perfect reincorporation of a previous line in the film without making it seem forced.

This is the same man who directed Shape of Water, he is hardly some beacon of courage against progressivism. They both have had their moments.

Haradrim horn is fucking sick.

what would such based individuals be doing in modern China?
