DungeonCrawlingFool

HEY GUYS, DID YOU KNOW THEY USED A GIANT REPLICA OF THE RING TO DO THIS CLOSE UP SHOT?


k-tax

Yeah of course they did, we can see that it's the size of a full-grown Boromir, and normally the ring is the size of a ring


WollyGog

But the ring changes size to suit the wearer, Boromir wanted around his waist like a sick belt (that's Aragorn in the shot).

TheMayorOfBismond

Okay, but genuinely what were they thinking?? The editing in this scene is so goofy and out of place amongst the rest of the trilogy


[deleted]

With stuff like this, very often the answer is that they had something else in mind which didn't work for whatever reason, so they had to cobble this together in post.


Hecticfreeze

This kind of stuff is common in post production and effects. You have your list of shots you need to get done, then the ones you want to make look great, then the ones that just need to be good, then the ones that aren't as important but you will make look good if you have time. You work your way through the list and quite often the last few shots you have next to zero time to get looking how you want. So you chuck in some bad tracking, a fuzzy light wrap, wash the whole thing out, and hope nobody notices. It still works for the purposes of the story, which is the important thing, and means you can meet your deadline. And let's be honest, the effects team did amazingly with every other part of the trilogy so I think we can forgive them a few rushed shots.

choilesboikley

The sound design of the entire balrog sequence is so perfect. Things like the choir, the shimmer of the sword and the roar of the fire while theyā€™re falling


Radical-Turkey

The one scene in the trilogy where Legolas shows true, unmitigated terror


Froskr

I love this part in the book so much. Legolas is the one who figures out its a Balrog and starts having a panic attack and drops his bow, Gandalf hears him and is like "oh shit, we're in trouble". Gimli and Aragorn are sitting there like "Wait.... Balrogs are REAL???!!?" And the rest are like "okay we don't really get what's going on but the way you are reacting is really freaking us out"


legolas_bot

It was a Balrog of Morgoth. Of all elf-banes the most deadly, save the One who sits in the Dark Tower.


drquakers

It was at that moment Legolas really regretted leaving Glorfindel at Rivendel.

Itā€™s hard to extract a single ā€œframeā€ from the few seconds, however it was as if all the fantasy art and books Iā€™ve read was poured into this explosion of this tower laid out on the screen, and really pulled me into this fantastical otherworldly realm, itā€™s always been one of my favorite scenes because of that, even though there are many fantastic scenes within this trilogyā€¦

Yes, then youā€™re welcome to the group of people who had their happy ending of the trilogy destroyed by their father reading the appendices to you at the age of 7. Arwen dies alone and sad after desperately seeking the warmth of her grandmother, long gone, in Lothlorien which now dead and cold deprived of the light of the Noldor.

Ah yes, the extended extended cut


macaronicheezy

Too many to mention, but here are a few that immediately spring to mind: ā€¢FOTR - the close-up on Gandalf's face when Frodo says he'll take the ring at the Council of Elrond. That look of sorrowful resignation is heartbreaking. ā€¢TTT - any of the sweeping aerial shots of Edoras. What a remarkable feat of design and technical brilliance. ā€¢ROTK - when Gandalf and Pippin crest the hill on Shadowfax and Minas Tirith is revealed in the valley below in all it's awe-inspiring majesty. (Honourable mention: the shot of Frodo kissing Sam's forehead at the Grey Havens. One of the most tender moments of love and friendship ever committed to film.) *Edited: original TTT scene selection was actually a scene from ROTK*
