Scenes with Chutzspa!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

So many scenes in the LOTR movies made me want to just get up and fight!! They were so full of passion and vigor I just wanted to watch them over and over. The scenes were just so well written and the actors were just right on the money. What scenes fron the movies did you BD'ers feel were filled with extra amounts of chutzpa!?

I know what you mean. And I will watch these scenes over and over. One of my favorite actors is Bernard Hill, and he did a wonderful job as Theoden. His scenes, at Helm's Deep and pelennor got me going.

Theoden: "Yes...Yes...The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep. One last time. (To Aragorn) Let this be the hour, when we draw swords together. (To everyone) Foul deeds awake! Now for wrath! Now for Ruin! And the red dawn!"

(Theoden, after driving off the orcs from Minas Tirith).
Theoden: We saved the City!" (spots the Haradrim, has that "Oh s**t" look on his face.) "Reform the lines! Reform the lines! Sound the charge, take them head on! Charge!"

Eventhough these two scenes didn't deal with fighting they got me thinking about fighting. I like when the Rohirrim leave for Dunharrow and Eomer's little speech.
Eomer: "Now is the hour, Riders of Rohan, oaths you have taken. Now fulfill them all to lord and land."

And Boromir's as he is in Lothlorien.
Boromir: "I will find no rest here. I heard a voice in my head. It spoke of the fall of Gondor. It said even now there is hope left, but I can not see it. It has been long since we've had any hope. My father is a noble man, (plays uplifting music) but his rule is failing, and our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right, I would do it, I would see the glory of Gondor restored. Have you ever seen it Aragorn the White Tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver. It's banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home, by the clearing of the silver trumpets!"

Aragorn: "I have been to the White City, long ago."

Boromir: "One day, our paths will lead us there, and the tower Guard shall take up the call, The Lords of Gondor have returned."

I also like Boromir's speech in Osgiliath in TTT EE. However I've only seen that once, and I don't have the DVD, so I forget how it goes. I just remember, "For Gondor!" and (to Faramir) "that leaves more time for drinking."

Oh gosh, where do I begin?!

I`ll just go with one of my favorite scenes, where orcs are beginning to cross the river at Osgiliath (the one where the Nazgul attack and they are forced to retreat). I almost die every time Faramir springs out of hiding, and starts wacking at orcs like his life depends on it (because really, it does). I love how even though he dosen`t really believe in himself, and thinks he will never amount to what Boromir was, but still keeps going. Yay for Faramir! *huggles

The scene that makes me 'get up', so to speak, is during Helm's Deep. Gimli has just taken the fall to save Aragorn but he's on his own against all these Orcs for a minute. Then 'Gorn summons the troops, points Anduril (ahem

) and just screams and charges. The camerawork was good. It's really exciting.

A scene that made me want to get up and fight was when Faramir was riding towards Osgiliath when Denethor sent him....it's so sad...but it makes me wish that I could be that brave...

And, as Boromir88 said, the scene with Theoden at Helms Deep at the very end...

I'm with Imladris... that scene brought tears to my usually dry eyes. I also love Boromir's death scene, very emotional as well.
