jerry not well one of the things that i
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
would say was a strong traumatic change
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
in the movies over the books and I
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
appreciate it and actually going back at
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
times in fact i did this when watching
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
it recently and checked the book to
[TS]
00:02:49
◼
►
remind me of the scene because the scene
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
in the movie is so strong is that in the
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
book Saruman is an important character
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
is often the background off to the side
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
he sort of another malicious force until
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
they actually confront him and organic
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
off will recall meeting with mr we know
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
he was reticent at the White council and
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
the hobbit era and whatever in the
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
movies when they decided they brought
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
much father but much closer to four and
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
made him the big villain as a proxy for
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
Sarang as you move through the movies
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
and I think it worked very well so when
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
they're climbing the mountain the past
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
of colorado colorado ass across the the
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
mines of moria below they're trying to
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
go across the mountain is opposing them
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
in the books
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
it's the mountain the mountain sort of
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
part of that sense of evil it's signed
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
so forth in the movie they have this
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
great thing of of Christopher Lee
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
standing on top of our of you know of
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
the our thang camera or thank Thor thank
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
it which is a North is beautifully
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
conceived of it is exactly how I thought
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
of it from the books and stay there and
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
stealing their instant orrible island
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
about over you know it
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
speaking of these words of power and
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
creating the storm that is traveling
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
across all of middle-earth to prevent
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
them across the past that's great movie
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
making is a great thing because you
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
can't just have in the fellowship
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
specifically everything is against the
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
rocks the trees the land the earth the
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
markings the orcs and in this to have
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
one malicious force and then I think
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
there's other elements as well we're
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
Saruman is directly engaged in opposing
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
them the the scene in row and row and
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
two towers where the garden is under
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
warm tongues you know control
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
essentially you seen this old man is a
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
wonderful this i think the most
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
evocative scene in the movie it's be
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
full and it's also a terrific scene in
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
the book and I went and read the scene
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
in the book and realize it's completely
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
different in many ways as Gandalf goes
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
in there he has his staff in the movie
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
and the staff is an important thing and
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
he's battling Saruman the movie Saruman
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
has essentially put a spell over theta
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
and he says I will draw you from him
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
like poison from a wound and does this
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
thing and then you sort of knock
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
ceremony you cut back to or thanks
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
either Monacan is asked come back there
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
when you watch the King become younger
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
and stand up and resume is sort of what
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
has been removed the and social event
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
and the book it's a more gradual process
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
of Saruman is not mentioned his words
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
may have poison but the King gradually
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
comes back to himself over the course of
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
a number of pages and I think of all the
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
things they did I think that's one of
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
the best enhancements because it's not
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
that Saruman becomes the focus of the
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
films but it's more like it makes sense
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
there are things in the book where you
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
feel like there's just too much evil in
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
too much sort of in coey action going on
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
and to have him actually directing it
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
and then for him to be defeated you have
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
this point well now we are now stepping
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
forward we're going into the might of
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
Sauron in Mordor now a wonderfully done
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
all that stuff kind of works in the book
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
when the whole world is against you like
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
this nameless evil where is it moving
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
you don't you when you met do a movie
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
adaptation you have to say okay we need
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
an actual antagonist we can't be in a
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
book you have plenty of time to describe
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
the evilness of the roots of those trees
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
and all that because not everything
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
being against you you can you can
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
actually convey that the trees hit men
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
for whatever is in the hit man because
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
you've got you down for narration
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
basically in the book you have the
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
writer writing stuff and you can
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
describe in the movie you either have to
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
have a literal narrator which is usually
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
death or you have to say well let's just
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
have an actual antagonist then we'll
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
make it Saruman so yeah that's that's
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
what you gotta do when you make
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
something a movie those are they made a
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
lot of good choices in the adaptation
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
but all those choices necessarily make
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
it different from the book because the
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
book it's not like one of those books
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
sometimes I read a book and I'm like
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
this could be a movie just take it right
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
off the page throw it on the screen it's
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
a movie boom is Lord of the Rings is not
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
one of those books at all i think we can
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
argue the Balrog is actually also
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
well-conceived because even though it's
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
that scene is nearly word identical to
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
the book they did the thing where you
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
don't see it as distinctly they didn't
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
say oh here
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
balrog you know we all know that from
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
dnd with a ball gag is I had the monster
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
manual let's bring one out folks
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
ladies and gentlemen the Balrog I think
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
that's one of my favorite scenes in the
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
movie is that you bring him out he's
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
still you can't see him exactly again of
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
spending on you like this poor old man
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
we've thought of his without his powers
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
like oh he can actually battle this huge
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
thing all rocky you know it's a great
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
that that was of my favorite part of
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
showing these movies to my son was we
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
have I remember I remember if we had
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
taken a break between discs or not but
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
of course you know so fellowship ends
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
and Gandalf is gone and everything and
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
two towers opened an office in the very
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
opening but somewhere near the very
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
beginning to terrorists like they take
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
you back to hey remember Gandalf falling
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
down the pit guess what he's falling and
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
he's next to this guy and that was that
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
that's how you know the Gandalf is back
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
and he was so excited to see that like
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
it's a reminds me the beginning of
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
castle in the sky where they show that
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
the girl falling off of the the airship
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
and the credits roll then they resumed
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
on her fall and also that you come back
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
to this movie and it's like guess what
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
he's fallen down to put that wasn't the
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
end of him falling down with the Balrog
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
it's a really deep pit and they're
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
fighting as they fall they're means that
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
was photo was having a dream which I
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
forgot until I saw the films that
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
they've struck that that he wakes and so
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
you don't you see him fall you see that
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
whole part and you get that emotional
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
resonance of the end of the film you
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
know the end of that part and then or of
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
the ghetto get enough said i should say
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
and then they break away so you can
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
often tell it later when he meets yeah
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
it is somewhere in the second movie like
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
if you had been waiting between the
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
movies but of course he's not waiting in
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
the movies he just we got to see the end
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
of our and then the next one like at
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
some point they show you like and it's
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
like resuming in progress that you
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
thought it was the end but like it when
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►

00:10:53
◼
►
it is John do you want to talk about the
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
performances together started when

00:10:58
◼
►
like that the script for the most part
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
is set down like they're gonna have to
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
say what they're gonna have to say it's
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
going to be Lord of the Rings stuff even
[TS]
00:11:06
◼

the lines aren't right from the book
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
there's no really getting around the
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
you're going to talk about magic and use
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
lots of weird words & hobbies are going
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
to talk about habits so it's like it's
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
what you do with the material we talked

◼
►
about like you know Han Solo you know

00:11:20
◼
►
line but you know he could sell it and I
[TS]
00:11:23
◼

so I'm judging these people by how well
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
did you sell the kind of silly sounding
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
out of context Swiss cheese lines that
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
you were given did i believe your
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
performance um I'm not let you guys talk
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
about who you thought but I just want to
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
start with my least favorite performance
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
in the entire series this is kind of a
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
shame because he is the main character
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
Elijah Wood operatic I do not like him
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
totally agree i do not know how does a
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
good job at destroido I he's not a bad
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
actor he does his best with what he's
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
given but he just does not read this
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
photo to me and I don't know why he just
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
doesn't it's not it's not that it's not
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
that he for me something he was bad it's
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
just that he was not my feet up in a
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
movie weather so many characters that
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
actors that really managed to nail
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
things with Elijah Wood the only thing
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
that I didn't like is that ok he's gonna
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
get the easy at some point he reaches
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
down deep inside and he flips that
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
switch is ok and time to get my browser
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
my eyes and I'm looking at this and I'm
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
going to get my brows another one of my
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
scouts that he's got it Sam expression
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
he's got his ring expression like it and
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
the reason i really like him because he
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
has the he has the pivotal scene in the
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
entire movie where he changes his mind
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
about the ring and by that point I was
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
like I just shot on here I don't believe
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
that you've changed your mind or that
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
you've struggled with this ring at all
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
it's so heavy oh is it
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
I mean it's just he just and it really
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
really hurts me because that part of the
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
books sam and frodo going through more
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
on doing that thing works for me in the
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
book and I don't like him in the movie
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
I don't know if I agree with that
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
entirely i think that he and sean astin
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
managed to pull out some some otherwise
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
some scenes that we've all agreed are
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
kind of dull and boring you know it yes
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
he's not he's not giving the most
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
interesting material to work with and
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
his role is basically that of martyr for
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
the second two books especially
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
pronounced Mordor no way at the bottom
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
are thorns
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
for everybody he does he has he only has
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
he's like the kristen stewart in this
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
movie he only had a few naughty Matt's
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
pretty that's pretty rough man you may
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
already be seeing have just one
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
expression he's like 4 i'm gonna agree I
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
agree with John i was so tired I'd
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
forgotten and i don't think i'd watch
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
the whole sequence for a couple years
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
and I forgotten how much I just blank
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
out on Elijah Wood ways instead on
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
screen because he's got the sloggi
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
scenes and he's just I don't know I its
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
photo is stronger in the books and I
[TS]
00:13:42
◼
►
think it works but it has to be strong
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
enough yeah because you have to see his
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
strength away from you have to see him
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
lose instead of Weathertop he
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
practically gives up the fight or his
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
eyes rolled back in his head again and
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
he puts the ring on your like if it's
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
that easy he doesn't get to Mordor you
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
just seem awfully weak and that scene
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
right yeah and and the two of them like
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►
Sam Sam holds up his weight more than
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
Frodo and the same photo relationship in
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
the movie but even I mean he does his
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
gimmick his performance a little gamey
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
to what's-his-name sean astin anybody
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
does better than photo of the two of
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
them like they're they're such a tough
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
little like tough little plumbers and in
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
the book and in the movies they're just
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
two guys so so whatever so who's your
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
favorite I'm not favorite performances
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
from other people
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
I'd say favorite is a I think Viggo
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
Mortensen oh yeah I loved him sir he
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
certainly commits to that role yet again
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
that is that he had that man is a method
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
actor like he is he's like a Daniel
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
day-lewis right like I think he just
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
totally he totally embraces it totally
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
rolls with it LOL i wouldn't go Daniel
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
day-lewis maybe I'm just saying I i
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
think i think from an element of you
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
know you're talking about people who can
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
spew nonsense and sound like it's
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
actually they're actually talking about
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
something real
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
I think he does a great job with a role
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
that as a ton of jargon and yet he looks
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
like he just completely believes in it
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
but Peter Jackson decided that he was
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
the most relatable character essentially
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
for mainstream audiences in action
[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
fantasy movie and and and so you know
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
aragorn's like the main character of the
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
movie in many ways hehe has I think he
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
doesn't have the weight the emotional
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
weight of of photos journey but he has
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
much more to do throughout is more
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
boring in the book that isn't
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
yeah he's very tedious in the book it's
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
a decision I mean when they decided to
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
make this make these movies and have the
[TS]
00:15:29
◼
►
big action scenes and all of that you
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
know the decision is that one through
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
line will be Frodo and Sam in the ring
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
and and column and the other one is the
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
the awesome adventures of a record right
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
and and and i think Viggo Mortensen does
[TS]
00:15:43
◼
►
a great job he does have a little bit of
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
personal struggle to like to give them a
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
little bit of personal struggle with
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
like do I want this crown and like do I
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
want to change i'll hit my elbow
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
girlfriend will do they even put him
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
puts the hand over the ring which I
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
don't think it happens in the at the end
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
of fellowship I don't think aragorn
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
never directly confront taking the ring
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
and he does not think it's a great
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
little if it's in addition which i think
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
it is it's a great little bit where he
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
everyone is obliged to come to confront
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
the ring in the movie
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
not everyone is obliged to the books to
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
say that's not mine i have its put in
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
front of me you know fair mirrors
[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►
rejection is very critical obviously but
[TS]
00:16:19
◼
►
aragorn's in the movie i think it's just
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
the same he took his chance he said ok
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
let's go to go away and moves on to his
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
own story
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
well and I think you give the fact that
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
they do a good job of though he is you
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
know a good-looking guy he also comes
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
across with it a certain amount of
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
menace and over cute especially in his
[TS]
00:16:35

scariness German I remember I remember
[TS]
00:16:39
◼
►
watching the the trailer for the first
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
time and i was looking at me like I was
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
kind of rough in my friend Jen who is
[TS]
00:16:45
◼
►
like dyed-in-the-wool diehard Lord of
[TS]
00:16:48
◼

the Rings fan was like come on all that
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
is gold does not glitter which is the
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
the target line from the from the other
[TS]
00:16:54
◼
►
poem and I think Viggo does a good job
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
of also selling the fact that that
[TS]
00:16:59
◼
►
aragorn in the movies is a competent
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
warfighter my keys
[TS]
00:17:03
◼

[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
pretty boy like like some people he
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
sells the fact that this guy is this is
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
the guy who would be dangerous with a
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
sword because he's been using a sword
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
his entire life and you don't want to
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
get into a fight with him like I really
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
believe the heel and it's not ceremonial
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
right that he is the match of five works
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
i totally buy that from his performance
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
because he's so severe and you know
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
seriously everybody that he is a little
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
bit goes into a little bit of
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
self-parody but again the things he has
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
to say those wonderful line that
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
wonderful 12 that I think is directly
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
from the books which is I think he would
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
look you know I don't think he's an
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
agent more
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
barbie is a tricky would it look they
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
would look fairer and seen Fowler yep
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
that's line right i think it's also
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
right from the book at it they drop
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
those in there and sometimes it's like
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
oh wait hey that talking i had a way
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
with words out back to the script so so
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
might my pick for a and I was just
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
trying to think who do I think is the
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
best performance in this in this movie
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
i'm super nerd he'll as made and I think
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
partially this is because he's got a
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
really interesting story arc that he
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
begins this kind of he's been enchanted
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
by Wormtongue and he's all confused and
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
all but I i get the sense with him that
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
he has a you know he has a lot that he
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
has to think about and that i really
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
like that he he's a good man but he's
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
got a lot of responsibilities and he's
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
not entirely sure that the request that
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
everybody else is going is the bet he
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
has to be convinced that it's the best
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
thing for his kingdom because he's
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
concerned he knows what his job is he
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
receives resigned to death twice in this
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
ya series of movies once at helm's deep
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
and then he can and he agrees after that
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
say alright I'll go down with us other
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
yeah yeah and it's a it's a really
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
interesting character you know he's not
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
one of the main characters but you get
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
that sense of weight that this is a man
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
who you know first off he had this
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
terrible you know enchantment thing
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
happened to him but that he was a good
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
man before he's a good man again he's
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
really concerned about his people
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
he's skeptical of the whole the
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
obviously the relationship between Rohan
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
and Gondor has cooled over the years
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
right so he's like why should we
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
you know why should we take care of
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
Gondor if they don't they don't take
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
care of us
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
it's just it's a really interesting
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
performance and yes indeed he dies at
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
the end inter said and there isn't a
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
field and works I think it's because
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
unlike Gondor of Rohan is populated
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
gatineau in unison Gondor but it's like
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
it's like you know / DC it's like a
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
bunch of monuments but then I guess
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
tourists in ghost town is in the
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
mountains that strip for fair point in
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
the movies that was the weirdest thing
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
is given that they could have populated
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
stuff with CGI yonder has enormous
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
population is shrunken but Rohan has
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
fewer number of people but in the movies
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
they portrayed it as if Gondor was
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
totally depopulated which was alright
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
and that's why you feel about the
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
identities like he's he's responsible
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
for all these people they're all looking
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
to him and is on there on this week's
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
web tail and it's cold and they're all
[TS]
00:19:47
◼
►
die and you know we're gonna go to this
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
this keep and just hope the orcs don't
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
tell us in the night and you know i like
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
that performance I you know if there's a
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
lot of dignity and and and just wait to
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
to that character that I really like and
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
I'm reminded I'm surprised by watching
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
something know right because he's just
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
suppose with john noble who has a who
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
has a a tougher task if his just chewing
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
the scenery and you know I like John
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
Noble and some fringe and it's great
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
mall but you compare his his his his
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
stuff to Bernard hill it's like I'm
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
always pleasantly surprised by fade and
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
what an interesting and and
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
multi-dimensional character is that he's
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
a little more time you he does get more
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
time and he gets more time where he's
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
not completely just crazy and what
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
you're suggesting you wouldn't set
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
himself on fire and throw himself off
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
the wall it so it is actually rare in
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
lots of movies it's rare to see somebody
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
who you can tell that they that this
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
character has their own motivations and
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
they may be a cross purposes with a plot
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
and the characters that we like in the
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
movie and it's not that they're a
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
villain it's just that they they aren't
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
motivated in the same way and they have
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
to work out what they really think about
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
what's going on in that they didn't
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
really does that and Bernard healthcare
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
set off so I can get a really great
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
character his character is in this
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
product I think this is where Bernard
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
helped raise him so well and I think the
[TS]
00:21:05
◼
►
script serves and well is he's a man
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
he's a king is a leader but he's a man
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
among what he seems as you know God's
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
and legends there's the wizard there's
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
hobbits and elves and you know god no
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
then there's you know the the return of
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
the king is the guy who is the direct
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
descendant man of númenor this whole
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
thing in the book and then Bernard
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
humanize that's like he's like I don't
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
even know if I'm worthy to be mentioned
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
among you know my predecessors and he
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
finds that in himself even though you
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
know because he needs to for his people
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
it's a great job other other
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
performances to praise from people
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
cate blanchett i love k planchette
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
didn't she do all four scenes in in like
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
with the camera sped up so that they're
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
in slow motion no did she really she
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
doesn't actually talk like is that they
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
actually the way the way they shot for
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
seems to make her seem kind of ethereal
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
is a shot at with the camera running a
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
higher frame rate and slowed it down and
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
then she read up your dialogue but that
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
the whole idea was to make
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
seemed almost like out of step from
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
everybody else and that's why she's all
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
but what's funny
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
so what I'll say about that character is
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
she's pulled their couple scenes that I
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
really like i like where she she
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
basically says if i take the ring I you
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
know you think I'm all pretty and
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
wonderful but i would be a terrible
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
terrible we were right the end she also
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
gives her her scene with gimli where
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
he's you know talk about stupid else
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
they don't know and then he stole my
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
lady you're so beautiful and she gives
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
it turns out she gives him 13 her hair's
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
me he asks he asks for it that's what he
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
wants when he was one she gives him
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
three right but that that's really sweet
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
scene and it's funny because it that
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
character
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
those are the little notes that you get
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
that fill out that character because she
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
doesn't have a lot to do i also see from
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
for me as a super geek well it you know
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
an electric performance quite a bit i
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
thought they may try to to put her in I
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
mean she becomes the connective tissue
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
and then issues a narrator for the
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
opening bit and fellowship of the rings
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
which is and they use her character
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
better i think to enhance the fact that
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
there's no more than one woman in the
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
movies which is hard to see Chiefs all
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
over the place and using a bit in the
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
hobbit I think that way there are three
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
as well there are three words for there
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
are three wins a win
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
galadriel and our went up our when live
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
for one and uh but I thought I thought
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
she got the tone just right is that
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
there's this odd thing about the elves
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
have reserved essentially three kingdoms
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
we only see two of them and where
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
everything is in the past they should
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
rivendell that way they shoot shoot my
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
camera team of it they shoot lorien that
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
way as well or in that it looks like
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
it's out of keeping and they make her
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
even more ethereal but then she's
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
brought the earth she's given that
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
moment and I thought planets performance
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
of that was great as a super geek super
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
talking pan that is something that is
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
deeply rooted that moment is traced back
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
when she turns down the ring is traced
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
back to practically the the early
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
history that token set in that she's a
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
descendant of you know someone who
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
basically caused the elves to leave who
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
allowed the great evil to come in the
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
middle earth and her moment of rejecting
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
that in the book is one of the key
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
moments I think
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
he played the scene well I think she
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
played it well and it comes across as
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
being something more than just know she
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
turned on the ring like everybody else
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
does I will diminish that's what she
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
says this
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
yes she's gonna go in the West going to
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
the west and remain Galadriel another
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►

►

fitting with the character when he

00:28:24
◼

presentation because the volunteers are
[TS]
00:28:25
◼

ridiculous device in the books i had to
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
do a lot of pausing to explain those
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
things like well because ok so there's
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
magic in the books and there's lots of
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
people being able to have
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
visions and larger reality can see afar
[TS]
00:28:38
◼

and they cut the secret Elvis rings like

all this you know stuff permeating in
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
the great eye of sauron can cast design
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
see so there's all of this sort of
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
far-seeing already but the palantir is
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
the closest thing to like technology
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
unlike the internet yeah they've got
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
Wi-Fi on those crystal globe and that is
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
it really is is very internetting is
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
that it's a party-line dangerous party
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
line that's more like a security camera
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
this is this my first time I my first
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
time watching the movies since reading
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
dark tower and of course i said for John
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
i started to give black 13 immediately
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
which I had never made that connection
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
before I don't
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
yeah it's like it's like we said all
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
these things that seem like there have
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
been done before i thinkyeah in nineteen
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
world could write exactly make much much
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
later whatever clearly o modules do that
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
but yeah well the but the the palantir I
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
think the way they use them in the movie
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
was more effective
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
I mean obviously you can do it visually
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
I understand that but even the way that
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
I picture them being used that was sort
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
of i have to say my own imagination was
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
blender then what they did in the film
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
where they used you know they're sort of
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
burning flames of and they showed so
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
having kind of hijack the network more
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
effectively to is the original hacker he
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
hijacked that palantir network and
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
turned into his own ends but it's it's a
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
more effective thing you can't do like
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
in the books in any book at a magical
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►
item you can you can imbue a boring
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
physical item with incredible medicine
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
and import and the only reason the movie
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
is visually unless you have narration
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
because you can't spend an hour talking
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
about the monitory Lian Yu
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
I know but like it's not you have to
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
change it for the movie like to convey
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
the same sense of power i think you can
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
get a lot of like again with the dark
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
tower there's a lot of things in and
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
stephen king books for example that have
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
incredible menace to them and visually
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
there's nothing interesting about that
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
because it's all about the description
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
and the the effects they have on the the
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
internal mental dialogue with people
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
that you just don't hear in movies well
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
and in some ways you know the I mean a
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
good counter examples of that is the
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
ring right like which is you know that
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
it has on visual effects in movies too
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
but yeah it does but that's not the
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
important part like that's so little of
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
the time that you see the ring on screen
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
i think is devoted to its effects are
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
it's you know it's special presidency
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
it's the the effect it has on the people
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
who carry it and people around it and
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
what makes them do i think is is far
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
more interesting as a as an artifact
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
right I can I say that a I know it's a
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
thankless part but Liv Tyler not only is
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
she the person who if you see your
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
on-screen you can go to the bathroom if
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
you're in the theater or even if you're
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
not in the theater on your couch chicken
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
arguing about the right now someone's
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
someone's watching it somewhere in the
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
world we posit no don't just let it
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
right slamming on Dan mentioned on a
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
recent podcasts that when m night

when Liv Tyler appears on the screen
[TS]

00:31:35
◼

when that movie was put out she was in

that particular place in pop culture

where it feels calculated to me it's
[TS]
00:32:19
◼

[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
and she had stuff to do and is
[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
interesting in a way that Liv Tyler is
[TS]
00:36:05
◼
►
not able she has not she got nothing out
[TS]
00:36:09
◼
►
is that no one picked the column because
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
i remember when the movies were first
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
out everyone was raving about columns
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
performance in motion capture and I
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
think you know cg is great in circles a
[TS]
00:36:17
◼
►
good performance and everything but yeah
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
what they have gone do in the movie
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
feels a lot more not one note but let's
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
say to note and the government the books
[TS]
00:36:27
◼
►
feels and more multivariate to me
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
easy easy you know he's a crack addict
[TS]
00:36:32
◼
►
so he really is all about crack that the
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
one ring addict
[TS]
00:36:36
◼
►
nothing not thats circus shouldn't be
[TS]
00:36:39
◼
►
praised for the job he did I just think
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
that the people process the idea that oh
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
well he got into the he got to the
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
special suit with markers on it and then
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
there is aimed the camera and they
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
attract matter then that is simply
[TS]
00:36:51
◼
►
basically dressed the model the
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
wherewithal these motions that really I
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
I think it kind of just diminishes the
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
amount of work for the animators put
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
into that character because you you the
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
amount of work that has to be done to
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
take that motion then I take the
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
performance data and actually turn it
[TS]
00:37:08
◼
►
into column is immense giving that
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
episodes actually that was a conference
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
with one of the lead animators on calm
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
years ago and she was explained to me
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
that well think that the the big problem
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
was that column is a crack addict who
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
weighs about 10 pounds he has no meat on
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
his bones whatsoever is andy serkis is
[TS]
00:37:27
◼
►
essentially
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
essentially an athlete with muscle and
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
bone and muscle and tissue and so what
[TS]
00:37:33
◼
►
the legs we had to make sure that we had
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
given these spindly legs that would sort
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
of move in with each other and like move
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
as though there's no flashes of any kind
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
that was preventing those those those
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
legs from doing things that no human
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
legs would possibly do and that's the
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
sort of this sort of maybe thinking okay
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
guess I'm stupid and thinking that ok
[TS]
00:37:51
◼
►
then just push record and then say okay
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
let's just drag this with this is this
[TS]
00:37:55
◼
►
capture file onto this model file and
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
then exported to iMovie good whose squad
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
for what yes that's what I think it's a
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
lot of people were praying at the time
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
was wow what a technical achievement and
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
it was but now it's going with hindsight
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►

[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
fine and everything and we've done such
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
a great job but let's just look at it as
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
a character for you pretend I don't know
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
how it was done how does that work and
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
the character I field is flatter than

[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
it is I I think it's one of the one of
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
the most amazing cinematic achievement
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
of the last you know maybe ever write

►
the fact that this is a fully-realized

Star Wars just as an illustration of
[TS]
00:43:59

this concept but i think that the Yoda

puppet had at least as much person
[TS]
00:44:06
◼

personality if not more than C driver
[TS]
00:44:08

shooting a real actor we would have an

establishing shot which he walks into

the frame and then takes a position on

choice and that's why column is a I

in and they stop for a moment and
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
there's some comedy and then and then

[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
all the guys there's all that foreboding
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
although even there's that funny moment
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
because there's that great line

◼
►
they have a cave troll right and then
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
the cave troll cousins really awful and

00:55:37
◼
►
after they defeat all the works very
[TS]
00:55:39
◼

easily because works are easy to kill
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
cave trolls not but orcs are easy to
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
then they go out into the big open space

◼

[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►

[TS]
00:55:51
◼

outnumbered but there's also like the
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
fire off in the distance of the Balrog
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
and then everybody leaves again like to
[TS]

◼
►

[TS]
00:55:58
◼

disparate themes for all the characters

themes i really like in my very favorite
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
theme and I
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
favorite musical over the whole movie is
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
the music that plays when they showed
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
the Lord of the Rings title text and
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
fellowship whatever that little
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
sequences you know that sound right do

[TS]
00:57:09
◼

00:57:14
◼
►
aragorn's theme and like the exciting
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
things are happening thing they play it
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
too much is too much on the nose like
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
this is the movie where every time you
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
want to you're supposed to feel an
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
emotion they play the music is supposed
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
to make it to that emotion and you're
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
right John Williams does that as well
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
it's somehow like I don't know maybe
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
because it this the same ques happen so
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
many different times over the nine hours
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
whereas in the much shorter three hours
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
of the Star Wars trilogy or whatever and
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
you know it doesn't come up as bad but
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►

[TS]
00:57:41
◼

hitting me over the head and it's not so
[TS]
00:57:43
◼

[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
Williams yeah great job definitely
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
weaving it in different arrangements and
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
there's such sneaky things even if I i
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
hesitate to bring up the score for the
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
Phantom Menace but he does a great job

00:57:57
◼
►
in the Anakin theme in the Phantom

◼
►

[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
imperial march into it in a very subtle
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
way that I had to point out to someone
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
recently because they're like where is
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►

◼
►
version there is still a lot of great
[TS]
00:58:20
◼

[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
before anyone speaks in this episode or
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
actually after the the theme song think
[TS]
01:00:09
◼

it's the beginning
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
yes music and I actually like the
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
opening narration to fellowship and I
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
now live there remember it that's why
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
was that was again that and then the
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
opening scene of fellowship like this is
[TS]
01:00:19
◼
►
gonna be the greatest movie ever and
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
then press the movies coming out but you
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
know that was my high point is kind of
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
like watching the trailer to a movie you
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
like me watching the Superman trailer
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
it's all downhill after that at least at
[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
least I think the fact that they filmed
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
everything back-to-back-to-back you know
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
as a benefit in terms of total
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
consistency because they're it's this is
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
not a a situation like you know the
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
matrix where it's like well it first
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
movie was pretty good at MIT Wow really
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
went off the rails really quick there is
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
it it's one continuous movie right and i
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
think that's that's impressive and
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
that's the way it needed to be done but
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
don't you feel like fellowship like post
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
production technologies must have come a
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
long way but I still feel like
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
fellowship is like the okay guys what
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
are we doing here and then the second
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
movie is like finding their stride the
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
third movie is like guess what we're
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
firing on all cylinders really just a
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
smaller movie I think I maintain that
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
night i like it because of that because
[TS]
01:01:09
◼
►
there is less like we're gonna worry
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
about things you like it because you saw
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►

[TS]
01:01:19
◼
►
in so so John said that he really likes
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
the first scene in the first movie so I
[TS]

◼
►

[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►

[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
going through various endings there how
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
it should
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
ended with the Eagles for this is
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
dropped the ring in the Eagles the
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
Eagles are not at your beck and call you

◼
►

[TS]
01:02:41
◼

[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
point is easy nearsighted he's got focus
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
problems
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
a fitting end what here will be the
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
endings this is this movie is famous in
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
return of the king is what I'm talking
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
about the the for its many many endings
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
it there are really i saw this i
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
remember seeing this in a theater and I
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
kept thinking and this has happened on a
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
few movies that I've seen where I
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
thought that would be a really good way
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
to end it but there's more
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
except it happened in Return of the King
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
King it happens like 5 i'm really glad
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
they didn't end when when everyone's all
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
like and now the hit single from they
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
ended it right before that one of the
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
world as silly as it is for there to be
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
multiple endings and I remember being
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
bothered by it when I saw the recurring
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
in theater I like all the endings
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
I you know you could have you could have
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
picked one or maybe that's what I mean
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
they can wrap everything up right but
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
like yeah I nobody get you have to do I
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
like every single one of those ends with
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
the possible exception of them standing
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
on a soundstage seeing photo off onto
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
the great ships but oh yeah but it's
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
like they got to do that though there's
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
good in their ways like the big ceremony
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
where they all bowed to the hobbits
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
that's a good one and then you know that
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
everyone parting from each other and
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
they could have been some more montage
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
in there maybe instead of having me
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
individual like that like the photo
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
goodbye could have been like a montage a
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
little you know just not a whole let's
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
walk out and oh I'm gonna go but they
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
say they are they earned it though right
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
after 10 hours or whatever of movie I
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
think they earned all a big goodbye
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
because that's a lot of movie now this
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
time when I was watching them all bout
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
of the hobbit I just kept thinking like
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
Frodo thinking if I'd kept the ring you
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
don't bow to me by this my furry fate
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
well site again like I think that links
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
in with weird
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
talking about earlier where you know the
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
the sort of allegorical aspects of it
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
you know that he doesn't i like that
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
photo feels like you know I don't really
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
fit in so I gotta go
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
and you know I can't really deal with
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
coming back to this normal wife plus CS
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
it's all allegory right so I'm gonna get
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
on a boat and think of it this way if it
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
if you had ended on what I think most
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
people would agree is the best ending
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
with everyone value the hobbits that
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
wouldn't have been the right ending for
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
the for the movie or the series of ways
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
because that's not how it ends it's like
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
100 was the whole thing that now finally
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
how to get some recognition is not like
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
a hobbit civil rights movie they're
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
watching you can't you can't have like
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
Frodo and this movie by thinking oh well
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
you know what I i expanded my horizons
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
and I became a better Hobbit forward and
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
everybody knows me though the whole
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
point is that the you-know-what would
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
always always really took me in about
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
this story was the idea that by the way
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
yeah I know that you're taking this ring
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
back in destroying it because it has to
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
be done but you realize that the you you
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
will be forever damaged by the by virtue
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
of the fact you did this you are doing
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
ruin the implication the implication is
[TS]
01:05:32
◼
►
that you will be the hero and he'll win
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
but you will be destroyed by this ring
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
you may live but you will be destroyed
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
that's what makes him such a hero and
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
that's it for a father for all the from
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
the fun we've been poking at that actor
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
it's the the i love it when we get to
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
the end that hollow look just reacted
[TS]
01:05:51
◼
►
better at that time up this this is this
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
is exactly what is needed at the heart
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
of them just really died and he has two
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
he is no longer of this world and he has
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
to the the fact that he's the fact that
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
he is back in the Shire and the shower
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
only reminds him of the part of him that
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
can he can never revisit ever again is
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
the reason why you have to leave so
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
that's why that is the only ending that
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
that's why that as sappy little bit as
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
that analytic song is it's very it's
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
very good song but it really is designed
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
to manipulate you
[TS]
01:06:22
◼
►
that's why it's like a bit scared of you
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
i think they got the sort of
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
special-effects this movie because i'm
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
going to need six bits and credits to
