FOTR:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>- After Gandalf dies and you see Frodo with that one tear running down his cheek (I wanted to run up and hug him!)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>YES! It was that ONE TEAR effect that really got me. Small things like that trigger it for me. Like how everyone else cries at the fact that Boromir's dying, the part of that that really got me was:<P>Aragorn: "Nor our people fail."<P>Boromir: "Our people... our people!"<P>That. I love how terribly happy he is to hear Aragorn finally say 'our people'; it's amazingly touching.<P>And when Frodo pulls Sam up from the water, I just LOVE the finality and sort of pleading determination in Sam's voice when he said:<BR>"I made a promise Mr. Frodo; a promise! 'Don't you leave him, Sam.' And I don't mean to."<P>TTT:<P>Right after Theoden is awoken from his Saruman-state and he reaches for his sword. It has the beautiful voila in the background as he grasps it and slowly draws it out. Oh! That was just wonderful! Not sad, but definatly moving.<P>I love how they kept flashing back to the women and children in the caves during Helm's Deep. It gave the audience such a sense of what it is that they're fighting for; what the destruction of mankind would mean to the people forced to stand by and listen. Do you know how terrifying that must be: to sit in a cave and be able to hear a battle your loved ones are in but not able to see it and know that they're alright? *shudder* Makes me want to cry just thinking about it...<P>And Gandalf and Eomer's charge was, of course, wonderful; it really got to me. But, then again, it was my favorite single moment in the book. I just love how wonderfully heroic it is. But that's probably just me...<P>Lastly, but certainly not least, would of course be Sam's speech. That was great. <P>I'm gonna cry like a baby during RotK. I'm probably gonna sob all through the theatrical trailer, too, and not be able to stop until the movie it's attached to is over. My eyes will be red weeks...
