Strange shots (what are they thinking) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 02-08-2003, 10:41 AM

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed some of the odd-looking shots, such as, after defeating the Black riders, Strider proceeds to wander round Weathertop randomly waving his sword, what is he thinking?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 02-08-2003, 11:11 AM

Maybe he's trying to fan away their reek.

Dark Shadow · 02-08-2003, 02:36 PM

Maybe he's just circling to make sure they don't come back? Or maybe he's checking that there aren't more of them lurking around - he'd only defeated 5 of the 9. Yes, so the others never came, but how was he to know that?[ February 08, 2003: Message edited by: Dark Shadow ]

Inderjit Sanghera · 02-08-2003, 02:39 PM

Maybe it's an ancient Numnenorean sign of triumph.

eleanor_niphredil · 02-09-2003, 04:59 AM

perhaps the sword dissolving took him by suprize, and he is making sure that his doesnt do the same?

Inderjit Sanghera · 02-09-2003, 05:50 AM

Or maybe, just maybe, he's had a anxiety attack. I mean he's only human after all! (Well ,for the most part anyway.)

eleanor_niphredil · 02-09-2003, 05:58 AM

Another "what were they thinking?". Notice, when they first hear the ringwraithes on weather top, one of the hobbits, I think it was sam, picks up his little bucket of tomatoes or bacon or whatever. Well, even though they are threatened by certain death, he hangs on to that food until he is knocked of his feet.

Inderjit Sanghera · 02-09-2003, 06:27 AM

Well Hobbits REALLY did like their food.Imagine what he would've done if they were mushrooms.

Dark Shadow · 02-09-2003, 08:31 AM

Well, in my opinion, the biggest "what are they thinking" moment so far has to be when Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are running across a field. Suddunly... "Stop". they all rush behind some rocks. 2 seconds later the Rohirrim race past, kicking up dust and making a huge noise. Surely Legolas' super-elf vision would have seen them sooner. And if Aragorn can hear the Urak-Hai from what was it? 2 miles away or something, why couldn't he hear the Rohirrim riding up the hill??

Meela · 02-09-2003, 08:44 AM

i dont know if these would count, but there are moments such as:aragorn, leg, and gimli are running along, and the camera pans around them. at one point, legolas points ahead with his arm, as though he is pointing something out to aragorn. anyone know what it was? could be a starter for some great captions "Look, Aragorn! A candy shop!"also, two of the orcs on the Black Gate of Mordor were casually chatting. any ideas on that one? do orcs have such a thing as socialising?

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 02-09-2003, 09:04 AM

I don't see why not... What would they be discussing? 'Young orcs today...'

Rose Cotton · 02-09-2003, 09:35 AM

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> also, two of the orcs on the Black Gate of Mordor were casually chatting. any ideas on that one? do orcs have such a thing as socialising? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Ya I found that really strange.

Inderjit Sanghera · 02-09-2003, 09:50 AM

I think that Orcs talk, just like all other living creatures with a Fea.Since it is hard to tell the diffrence between male and female Orcs, maybe they were chatting each other up, or discussing the weather.

Sapphire_Flame · 02-10-2003, 12:16 PM

Here's a good one: Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are chasing after the Uruk-hai, the camera panning overhead as they run along the top of a cliff, and.......Legolas trips. I kid you not. You'd think they'd edit that out or something; I mean, isn't Legolas supposed to be perfect?

Meela · 02-10-2003, 12:35 PM

HA! he trips!!! *points and laughs for about a fortnight

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 02-10-2003, 01:00 PM

I never saw that! rhis is not on!

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 02-10-2003, 04:29 PM

HE TRIPS! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA *two weeks later* HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA ah.... he trips! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA never noticed that...have to see next tiem i see TT. WHICH, i hope will be soon...

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 02-10-2003, 04:31 PM

Here's another: When Gandalf is trying to get the word to open the west gate he tries one, then walks up to the door and pushes it. Does he really think it will open?

hobbit punk · 02-11-2003, 06:46 PM

I really hate that shot in TTT where Legolas jumps onto the horse. You all know which one I mean if you have seen it! I know he is an elf and can do things normal people can't but COME ON! It looked so fake and akward, not graceful and stunning the way it should.

Meela · 02-12-2003, 10:57 AM

apparently he really did do that. he was on the wrong side of the horse but jumped up anyway. they must have made it look more super-elvish lateri agree, it is terrible

Sapphire_Flame · 02-12-2003, 11:42 AM

I still give Orlando kudos points for doing that stunt. Did you know that, like, a year and a half before doing LotR he'd broken his back? (I heard that on a making-of-TT show) Resiliant, ain't he?

eleanor_niphredil · 02-12-2003, 12:00 PM

Yeah, he fell out of a window in his friends house, whist climbing the drainpipie for some reason.The doctors said that he would never walk again, but he walked out of the hospital within 12 days. He also broke his ribs whilst filming LOTR.

luin'loki · 02-12-2003, 12:43 PM

Orlando just seems to be accident-prone,don't you think?What movie does he trip in,TTT or FotR?I want to see it again and again and again and again.....(not that I hate him or something cause I don't)

eleanor_niphredil · 02-12-2003, 01:27 PM

TTT.

Sapphire_Flame · 02-12-2003, 04:06 PM

It's in Towers. One of those nice panoramic shots of A, L, and G tracking the Uruk-hai. I got a kick out of it, and everyone in the theater was staring 'cause I was laughing so hard... Oh, and eleanor, I love your signature! [ February 12, 2003: Message edited by: Sapphire_Flame ]

Morgul Queen · 02-12-2003, 08:41 PM

FARAMIR, 'nuff said.

Sadbh · 02-13-2003, 04:46 AM

I don't know if this counts but I thought it was really bizarre, how when Aragorn was 'tracking' Merry and Pippin just outside of Fangorn, he stopped all of a sudden when they reached the forest, and just said 'Fangorn' in alarm, like the forest had snuck up on them or something. Didn't they notice it before?And my mom pointed out on two occasions when the Uruk-hai are very quiet until the last moment, once, in FotR just before Frodo left alone for Mordor, and you suddenly see and hear about two hundred Uruk. The same as when Grima asked Saruman where they 'can they get an army of such size,' and bam, perfectly suddenly and soundless, there's one right outside the window. I know it sounds like I'm overly bitter about the movies, those two things just sort of, well don't click.Oh, one last thing. I don't think Orlando did the triple flipple double back wrist rotater thing that Leggy did in TTT. It must have been CGI. Mustn't it have? If it wasn't, I gotta know how that's humanly possible.[ February 13, 2003: Message edited by: Sadbh ]

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-13-2003, 10:23 AM

Okay- here's a two-in-one shot that's got me disturbed... and my brother (Keeper of Dol Goldur) come to think of it: in TTT, Merry's got that giant gash on his forehead. You'd think that it would really hurt, and yet when he's talking to Pippen, he doesn't even flinch when a blade of grass whips it. And... there's about a minute of footage in TTT where the gash is on the other side of his head. And then!!!... it's suddenly pretty much gone during Entmoot, if I remember correctly.

Airehiriel · 02-13-2003, 10:37 AM

Well considering we don't get to see EVERYTHING that happened in the book, perhaps the Ent draught healed it. And on that note, are we going to see them (Merry and Pippin) grow?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-13-2003, 12:37 PM

I really hope they add at least something about Merry and Pippin getting taller. Or some benign comment about their hair being longer or curlier. I was just wondering about the whole scar thing, because if I remember correctly, Merry was given orc-draught that healed the gash, but left a brownish scar.

Meela · 02-13-2003, 01:52 PM

uh... what about faramir?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 02-13-2003, 05:01 PM

i really hope that they grow...and grow...and GROW! till theyre my height so i can steal them.lol jk. But i hope that they make them grow so we can see how short that little bugger Frodo is...lol FARAMIR DID NOT TAKE THEM TO GONDOR!!!

Sapphire_Flame · 02-14-2003, 01:23 PM

Sadbh, that wasn't CGI, he really did that......Yeah, the Osgiliath scene was a bit much. Something else about it really bugged me too: the hobbits met Faramir in Ithilien, on the east side of the River Anduin. The enemy's side. Then, suddenly, they are able to get to the Gondorian-held side of the city without getting squished by orcs or anything. I mean honestly.....

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 02-17-2003, 07:40 AM

Don't get me started on Faramir.One thing I was wondering, How come only two easterling soldiers notice the dust that Frodo and Sam raise and come to investigate? Are all the others just unobservant?

Meela · 02-17-2003, 12:16 PM

i saw legolas trip!!! he looked stupid!! i laughed!!! ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Annunfuiniel · 02-17-2003, 03:41 PM

Got to see Legolas trip! Tomorrow, I hope... How about this one: in the end of FoTR when Sam follows Frodo in to the river Anduin and then almost drowns. He sinks deeper and deeper but then Frodos arm reaches him and he's saved. Frodo must have quite a long arm as he stays in the boat the hole time!

Grimbold · 02-17-2003, 03:57 PM

As for the sword-waving scene, I thought it was pretty obvious that he was making a last pass around Weathertop to make sure that none of the wraiths were coming back. He's one bad-*** Ranger!

Finwen · 02-17-2003, 04:03 PM

What I'd like to know is why Sauron, instead of crushing Isildur with his mace, puts out his hand and reaches down towards him for some reason, thus letting Isildur cut off his fingers and the Ring? I may be wrong, but isn't that what happens?

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 02-19-2003, 06:04 AM

I is what happens, but I have no idea why, I guess he thought it would be OK, as Narsil was broken, but i aggree, why not just mash I sildur?

Oddwen · 02-19-2003, 06:40 AM

Ok, about the easterlings, I think the two were scouts. They were on a mission into Mordor so I don't think all the entire host would have stopped just for a cloud of dust. They couldn't escape anyway, Sauron's got hundreds of thousands of orcs at hand anyway. One of them looked like a girl...

Or some benign comment about their hair being longer or curlier. I was just wondering about the whole scar thing, because if I remember correctly, Merry was given orc-draught that healed the gash, but left a brownish scar. __________________ peace

Something else about it really bugged me too: the hobbits met Faramir in Ithilien, on the <I>east</I> side of the River Anduin. The enemy's side. Then, suddenly, they are able to get to the Gondorian-held side of the city without getting squished by orcs or anything. I mean honestly..... __________________ The Hitchhiking Ghost

Are all the others just unobservant? __________________ Do not mess with us, we are the first chocoholic elves! Arwen is evil and she's after the Ring!
