Did you cry?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Been wondering. Did any of you cry while watching either of the movies or reading either of the books? If so, at what part? I sure did in FotR when Gandalf died (movie) and I did a little in RotK when Snowmane and Theoden died, and when Merry and Eowyn had to go to the Houses of Healing because they were badly hurt. Oh, NO! When i go to see RotK I'll need a whole SLEW of Kleenex!

[Bekah]

I couldn't. But I felt like my heart was being wrenched out of me both when Gandalf fell and in the TTT when Arwen was realizing what would happen if she married Aragorn. Even though I knew Gandalf would live, and though my heart tugged when she told Elrond in tearful Elvish that he had her love, I knew that she still decided to remain with Aragorn...despite PJ's changes to her!!!

It takes a lot to get me to cry in a movie, all these films have had very emotional parts, I have come close to crying. When I read the book I did not cry but I found myself very sad at the end of ROTK, because it did not end the way I expected.

[Arwen_Evenstar]

Did I cry? DID I CRY? I bawled my eyes out in The Return of The King when Sam found frodo... smilies/frown.gif
'It was indeed Mr Frodo. I'd given up hope, almost. I couldn't find you.'
'Well you have now Sam, dear Sam.' Said Frodo, and he lay back in Sam's gentle arms and closed his eyes, like a child at rest when his night-fears are driven away by some loved voice or hand.
smilies/frown.gif smilies/frown.gif
I cried everytime I read it!!! Having Gollums song playing in the backround didn't exactly make the mood more cheerfull.
AND
In TTT movie I cried about eighty times during the Battle of Helms Deep, I cried when the ents said they wouldn't help(which really bugged me), I cried when Sam said his little speech at the end...Oh and in the return of the king I cried when frodo left....i cried through practically everything!!!!

[Pennthangeil]

I cried alot in the books. I cried every single time Frodo was hurt. And i cried when Merry and Pippin were really missing eachother in ROTK. And i cried at Frodos Gandalf Song. And at the end of RotK when Frodo left for the Grey Havens. AND(last one promise) everytime Sam was REALY worried about frodo.

I have no back bone.

[Orual]

I'm very emotional, and it doesn't take a whole lot to make me cry. I think I cried when Gandalf fell in the book, but not in the movie--I don't know why, though. Anyhow, I also cried when Boromir died (in the movie, I don't remember about the book), at Sam's speech at the end of the TT movie, and through most of Return of the King, especially the end. Heck, I cry sometimes when I think about the end of RotK. They're going to have to drag me out of the theatre when RotK comes out because I'll be crying so hard it'll disturb the other moviegoers. Oh dear...

[Shy Hobbit]

I have a different situation than most of you. I'm still fairly new to the trilogy of LOTR and I first saw Fellowship of the Ring last year. I didn't really like it that much, but since I've read the book, and bought the DVD, seems I find something new to cry through each time I watch it! When Bilbo yells at Gandalf in Bag End and then feels badly for it, When Frodo is stabbed at Weathertop, and although it wasn't in the books, I cried right along with Arwen when she thought he was gone. I didn't cry at the fall of Gandalf, but when they showed the other's reaction to his fall, I lost it. Poor Pippin! And of course, at the end when Sam followed Frodo and nearly drowned himself in the process. I haven't seen The Two Towers yet, but I've started reading it. I've peeked at spoiler pics from RotK on councilofelrond.com...I don't know how I'm going to make it though the last film! smilies/frown.gif

[the phantom]

I don't really "cry" (as in audibly sob and blubber), but I do shed silent tears at times, for instance, when Boromir died (kind of the same way Aragorn did in the movie when Boromir died, so I'm in good company).

I also was moved to tears when reading The Silmarillion a couple of places. One time was when the men of Dor-Lomin made their last stand. The other one I can remember is when Turin realizes he's killed his best friend.

[dragoneyes]

You've all made me sad, and I feel very, well, unfeeling. I can't imagine me crying that much because of a book or film. I have to go now, before my mood is ruined for the rest of the night smilies/frown.gif.

[alaklondewen]

I, like the phantom, don't sob when I read the books, but I do get teary on a couple of spots. For instance, I'm reading them currently for the fourth time and I got a little 'emotional' when Aragorn and Legolas sang the song to the winds when Boromir died.

[ February 12, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Bekah]

Yes, there are heaps of bits that make my heart feel wrenched out. And when Frodo cried at the end, and it goes to Gandalf and back again, I remember feeling an uncomfortable but familiar pricking at the edges of my eyes...but I didn't cry. I feel really, really terrible though...I guess it was that kind of grief Legolas felt, the greiving that is too deep for crying. Shows how good the movie is, I guess.

I know I posted here before, but you guys reminded me of the part where Sam almost drowns, and countless others. smilies/frown.gif smilies/frown.gif

Thanks for spoiling my mood.

~ Elentari II

P.S. I don't feel mad at any of you, by the way, it was really my own fault for checking the thread.

[Bekah]

I heard the cd that Tolkien read some of LOTR on, and I felt terrible when he said the last lines, "the golden falls of Rauros", or whatever it was. smilies/frown.gif

[Morgul Queen]

Well, I weep (silently) when Frodo Leaves, when Gandalf dooms frodo to the torment of the dark tower, when frodo is poisoned, when Sam leaves Frodo, when Sam find Frodo is still alive, when Gandalf *dies* (book, I cracked up when he died in the movie, no idea why),
when Merry is brought in after the fight with the Witch-king, at how destroyed the shire is, When Galadriel sings her song of the sea, when Gollum is almost reformed (kinda)...wow thats 10 whens...well 11 now smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

Nope.

[Faye Took]

I cried in both movies and when I finished the books.

[Ithaeliel]

I cried a tear or two in either movie; but what REALLY gets me going is the end of RotK and the end of the soundtrack in TTT and LotR (Breaking of the Fellowship, Samwise the Brave- same two themes, different titles).

[elven maiden Earwen]

what makes me cry is when aarwen and her dad are talking, the story of arwen and aragon. i criede at the end of rotk and the tale of turin tumbar and the tale of beren and luthien. also at the nirnaeth arnoediad and the ruin of dorith. in the movies i also cried when the brought theodred in to edoras and when theoden has 2 burry him. smilies/frown.gif

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Being as how I've been referred to as a "heartless fiend" by my best friend (half in jest, of course.) don't let this get out, but I cried my eyes out in both the movies and the books. The first time I read the Fellowship, I was too surprised to cry when Gandalf fell into Shadow, but I cried when they reached Lothlorien and Galadriel did her mind-reading thing and just kind of said it. In PJ's version, I cried my eyes out AFTER they got out of Moria when the hobbits were crying and here, I quote, Boromir said: "Give them a moment, for pity's sake!" I'm ashamed to admit it, but I was bawling. At the end of the book, when Frodo and Sam left and Merry and Pippen were taken, I was thinking: "Gee... that's kind of sad. But now... Aragorn and Boromir are gonna kick some orc-butt and get them back!" Then, when I picked up TTT for the first time and I read the Boromir-death-scene, I started to cry. I was sitting in the living room going: "Why'd Boromir have to die? I was just starting to like him!" At the end of the FOTR movie, when they killed him, I cried simply because I didn't expect it to happen until TTT. In TTT movie, I cried when Theoden said: "No parent should ever have to bury their child." I also cried when Fangorn saw all the tree stumps outside of Isenguard and said "But these trees were my friends..." (although at the time, I was also thinking that he must have no life if his only friends are trees! I know, I know... they had voices, but it was a pretty cheesy line, you must admit!) I was a little sad at the Haldir death scene, but I'm pretty sure it was the work of the music and my anger at the group of pre-pubescent kids sitting behind my friends and I, talking. Those are the only times I've ever actually cried in a movie theater.

[Bekah]

I'm ashamed to admit it (actually, on second thought, no I'm not) but I felt annoyed that Treebeard decided against going to war against Sauron just because "he had no reason". In the books, of course, he decides to go without being tricked, and he already know about the death of many of the Hruntings and normal trees. I think it's Hruntings. Maybe all I read is getting to be...I have a feeling that Hrunting is the name of the jester's sword in 'Beowulf'. smilies/rolleyes.gif

~ Elentari II

[Meela]

i cried my eyes out during ttt on the futuristic arwen/aragorn stuff. then i kept on crying even when i got home, and at any random time i happened to be thinking bout the movie and remembered that scene. i also cried when Theoden said "no parent should have to bury their child" outside theodreds grave (actually, cried is a major understatement)
i also cried big time when gandalf, eomer, and the rohirrim charged down the slope into the uruk-hai at helms deep
i have only ever cried once at haldirs death. the first two times i thought "darn", the third i practically fell off my seat laughing, the fourth i was torn between laughing and crying. the fifth time was when i cried. problem was, i couldnt stop crying for the rest of the film. sixth time i think was a "darn" situation
the other day i watched fotr, and for the first time ever i actually cried at anything to do with fotr. i may have once come marginally close to crying during fotr in the cinema, but never actually cried, so out of about 50 times, this was the first time ive cried. it was when boromir died, and i bawled my eyes out. then naturally i couldnt stop crying until the end.
also, during ttt, i sometimes feel incredibly upset, but dont actually cry, when grima gets thrown down the steps of meduseld and almost bashed up by theoden (i know its kind of a strange reaction, considering my friends are cracking up next to me, and everyone else practically cheers and cracks open the champagne)

[Helkahothion]

I cried a little,

At the end of Rotk, when Sam says: Well I'm back. At that part I just feld his sadnes. I had some tears rolling across my cheeks when Gandalf falled. That was because I did not read the books then and I tought he was dead.

[Meela]

i also kinda cried (more just felt kinda teary) at the lament for gandalf that the elves were singing in lothlorien
and that bit in rivendell, with arwen and aragorn talking, and it being a good dream, etc. and just about everything on the soundtrack, mainly gollums song and the rohan theme and breath of life- aragorn in the river and arwen/brego kissing, etc.

[Bekah]

You know the part for Rohan? That just really gets to me. Maybe it's my Celtic blood...or maybe not.

Does anyone know where Sharku is? Because I want to PM him regarding the closing of the Female Fellowship. And I can't find any of his posts. I know that they're there, but I can't find any.

~ Elentari II

[Meela]

if hes also called sharku on the chat, hes available on there quite a lot. otherwise i dont know. have u tried finding a list of memebers on the forum? im sure there is one... under profile or something. is he listed in there? u can pm him from there, i think

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

i dont know. i opened another female fellowship but it has seemed to disappeared.
AAH! People have replied to my thread!!! smilies/biggrin.gif*nances furiously*
Whenever I even think a little about Gandalf dying, i get teary. That is the saddest part becuase of music/Frodo (EW did that part so well, eh?)
I know i probably repeated that from my opening post

[Bekah]

I think, as far as FF goes, it has been opened three times.

First, by Pennathengil.

Second, by Horse-maiden.

Third, by me.

And all of them got closed, one at a time. Which is why I want to PM Sharku, who I think closed the ones before mine. I tried PMing Mithadan, but she told me to PM Sharku.

~ Elentari II

P.S. I know this is off topic. I'm going to delete this reply of mine soon.

[Bekah]

Yeah. Everytime I hear the music, I hear Frodo's 'Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" I can't help it. And every single time I feel exactly like the Fellowship, especially Legolas, who didn't physically cry. Though the grief-stricken images of the rest of the Fellowship are also ingrained on my memory, and make me feel just as bad.

BTW, I loved 'In Dreams' so much that I learnt it off by heart and sang it. When someone mentioned that I sounded like a boy soprano, it made my day 'cos it sounds so beautiful (and terribly sad) sung by the boy. If you check the words to that song, though, and then check the words of the Entwife song, you'll find some similarities. (I am a soprano, actually, only I'm a girl... smilies/biggrin.gif)

Hm? Wot's this, In Dreams? Not too sure about that....Haven't the soundtrack and I've heard of in dreams never heard it though

If you've got the video, the song is the last one in the movie - it goes right up until the credits, pauses while Enya struts (or sings smilies/biggrin.gif) her stuff, and then continues.

I cried in every instance that has been mentioned. Here's one that hasn't been...I was hysterical (sad and happy tears) when I read Appendix B 'Later events concerning the members of the Fellowship of the Ring'. It has what happens to everyone still left in Middle-Earth, a highly recommended read.

[Meela]

i have read appendix B, long ago

(and yes, it made me cry also)

one day, my path will lead me there again. and the librarian shall take up the call: the lord of readers has returned!

[nevlhachien]

i have never really cried watching or reading any of them but my eyes did fill up with tears and i felt really sad. like when frodo "died" at the end of TTT book. i was reading that part in school and i tried so hard to hold back the tears and i did. but i was sad the rest of the day. i was reading rotk and this one little quote that gandalf says, "darkness has come. there will be no dawn" or something like that just made me so sad. and in rotk at the parts where theoden dies and where i thought eowyn, faramir, and merry died made me sad too. but when i realized they were still alive i was happy. smilies/smile.gif then while watching fotr for like the sixth time, i almost cried when boromir died and i have never almost cried while watching it before. i thought that was strange. i have just been really emotional for the past week. well i think that is all for now smilies/biggrin.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

yeah, Nev. THe boromir crying thing happened to me too. I've watched FotR 17 times and I only cried when Boromir died the last tiem I watched it.

[Swordblade]

also, during ttt, i sometimes feel incredibly upset, but dont actually cry, when grima gets thrown down the steps of meduseld and almost bashed up by theoden (i know its kind of a strange reaction, considering my friends are cracking up next to me)

Oops, sorry Meela, my bad. smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, I never cry at movies, and it takes a lot to get me to even nearlycry.

But I did feel increadibly sad (in a Leg kinda way) at Haldir dying, Gandalf dying (but only for the rest of the fellowship, not for him), and the breaking of the fellowship. Also at the fact that the elves are leaving middle-earth.

I'm sure there are some other bits but I won't remember them till I see it again.

(P.S. Heehee Grima getting beaten up!)

it takes a REALLY sad part to make me cry. i NEVER cry. i don't know why either..but... i cry every time i watch LotR1 and Boromir dies. i sob every time. ugh. smilies/rolleyes.gif i cried during LotR2 too, just can't remeber when...off the topic a little, but Braveheart made me sob at the end too. they're like the only movies where i cried...

[Goldberry]

It takes a lot to make me actually cry, although I often get teary-eyed. I dont know why, but in TTT when all the people of Helm's Deep are in the caves, and the men, young and old, have to go off to battle, i cry. I guess cause they are old men and little boys and I know that most of them won't return. But otherwise I didn't cry. I always cry after I watch the movies, though, like, a half hour later. I know, I'm weird smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

It takes a LOT to mak my cry... but if I'm acting or something, I can really cry.

That's kinda like when I see horror movies. When I hear scary music in the backround, I start cracking up!! And everyone else around me is like, "SHUT UP!!!!"

I almost cried only twice, and it was for both of the movies.

1) When Sam and Frodo see the elves leaving Middle Earth, while they are on their way to Bree. You will not see this part of FotR unless you have the special edition...thing...for DVD.

2) When Haldir died. Sorry. It was supposed to be sad, and when bad things happen to the elves, I get all teary. smilies/frown.gif smilies/frown.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Welcome! and thank you for resurrecting my thread!!! *nances furiously*

Ah i just saw TT again today, adn i cried when:
haldir died
merry had his little speechy thing

[Lyra Greenleaf]

You know the part for Rohan? That just really gets to me. Maybe it's my Celtic blood...or maybe not.
me too, i think it's the music. and of course the mum putting her kids on the horse, and the rohan people looked so simple, innocent....i'm welling up here! (sniff)

did none of you heartless people cry when boromir died? or was i just not reading carefully enough.
i also cried when they took merry and pippin at the end of fotr, and when eomer says: "Not alone" at the end of TTT. i cried when legolas said: "He is aragorn, son of arathorn" but i have no idea why!
in the book i cried when they seperated merry and pippin, everyone goes on about the friendship of frodo and sam, but merry and pippin are that close too!

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Did any of you cry while watching either of the movies or reading either of the books? If so, at what part?

No, I didn't cry. I almost drowned my sister in tears.

It takes a lot to get me to cry (and even more to get me to feel even remotely frightened during a horror movie), but when I watched FotR, I had tears streaming down my face at the death of Boromir (and I still shed tears whenever I see it). And I was audibly sobbing (quietly) when I read it in the books. In my opinion, it's much more emotional in writing. I also cried at the end of RotK when Frodo leaves for the Undying Lands. Of course, during each and every moment that I cried, I was up past 1:00AM and thus sleep-deprived. So... HA! smilies/tongue.gif

[Lilly Loamsdown]

It's normaly difficult to make me cry but I did at the end of Rotk when Frodo left and poor Sam got left
behind.
smilies/frown.gif
And In the movie when Elrond was trying to convince Arwen to go to the undying lands,I didnt cry but my throat got all tight,it was hard to breath.
I think I'm alergic to sadness.

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

And In the movie when Elrond was trying to convince Arwen to go to the undying lands,I didnt cry but my throat got all tight,it was hard to breath.

I just sat there through this whole scene thinking about what Gondor would think when their queen never died.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Oh, man! I didn't cry but I got major shivers and I felt deliciously overwhelmed when Gandalf and the Rohirrim came rushing down the slope towards the Uruks. *sigh*...

I cried softly in the books when Frodo went to the Undying Lands, when the Scouring of the Shire happened, when the Ring was destroyed. During the Ring destruction part, I also felt a surge of happiness.

[Shy Hobbit]

Reading TTT when Sam finds Frodo after he's been attacked by Shelob, and his little speech. It was something like:

"Please Mr. Frodo, don't leave me! Don't go where I can't follow!" smilies/frown.gif I don't know how I'm going to make it through that scene.

[Iarephelion]

I'm not much of a cryer, and I don't remember crying whilst reading the books (it's a while since I last read LoTR) but I must admit to having a tear in my eye inside the first minute of the movie FoTR. It was like something I had dreamed of for so long was actually about to come true. The Shire was everything I had imagined it to be. The rest of the movie and TTT weren't bad either.

[Eressië Ailin]

did none of you heartless people cry when boromir died?

To put it simply... NO!!!!! I was cracking up!!!! But I do think that Sean did an excellent job as Boromir. It's definately a hard role.

[Tasslehoff_55]

i'm a big crier but i cried at the same part as Arwen_Evenstar, when sam found frodo..... i probably cried LOTS of other times tooo, i just don't remember where...probably at sentimental sam and frodo parts.... smilies/frown.gif

lol... That's a very... erm... interesting thought. But I've always wondered about that.

[the guy who be short]

Nope.
lol, same here. you people are all overly sentimental. its not real (or if it is it happened thousands of years ago). there are lots of powerful bits in there, all the ones youve mentioned are, but its not that sad. its meant to make you think, but cry?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

yep. we're all nutcases.

[Senseless Skwerl]

i cried from when boromir died (movie) until the end of it, and then for about 15 minutes afterward... i still do even now when watching it, escpecially at, "of course you are! and i'm comin' with you!"
then in ttt, i cried a ton when haldir died, then at the end of the movie again.
i cried in the books (rotk that is) when they all parted ways, never to see eachother agian. smilies/frown.gif
and for some odd reason, during ttt movie, i cried when elrond was telling arwen what would become of her if she married aragorn. oh yeah, and also, for some EXTREMLY odd reason, i cried when aragorn fell off of that cliff while fighting orcs (or goblins??), but the first time i saw ttt, i bursted out laughing (you know this horse maiden of the shire!), then went into tears when legolas didn't want to leave him, but theoden did smilies/mad.gif
hehee! in short, i'm a cry baby when it comes to movies and books!

[Airehiriel]

There's nothing like watching the movies for the first time. That is when it is freshest, and most moving, and where you are most apt to cry. For those of you who think we are silly for crying, we are people who allow ourselves to get caught up in the moment. Who allow ourselves to be so involved that we are moved to tears. Reality is set aside for a moment, and we embrace the life that is on the screen or on the pages. We develop such a connectedness with the characters that it is truly heart breaking to us when one of them is sad/hurting or dies.

I cried more during the movies than the book. I don't really remember the parts that made me cry in the book, but here are my movie soft spots: (forgive me if they are not in chronological order, I'm telling them as I remember them, and I may have to add more later!)

FotR:
Definately when Boromir was killed...the whole scene had me in tears, and even now it will make my throat tight, but I know what happens, so I don't really cry.
When everyone thinks Frodo has been killed by the cave troll.
When Gandalf fell off the Bridge of Khazad-dum.
When everyone cried for Gandalf.
When Frodo cried for Gandalf when he was standing on the river bank.
When Sam came running after Frodo, and the whole scene that ensued with him going under, and then being pulled up...*sigh* I think that one is tied with the Boromir scene for #1 sad part.
When Aragorn said he wouldn't leave Merry and Pippin for torment and death.

TTT:
For some reason the scene where the elves came marching up Helm's Deep moved me to tears, but not because I was sad or mad that it wasn't accurate. I guess because I thought it was such a nice thing to do.
Where the Ents go marching to war...another moved to tears of joy.
When the Rohirrim came to the aid of those fighting at Helms Deep...another joy one.
When Haldir died.
When Aragorn fell off the cliff...even though I knew he couldn't die.
When Sam made his speech.
The whole Arwen being left alone after Aragorn dies scene.
The scene where Grima sheds his own tear looking out upon the army of thousands of Orcs.
The scene where all the young boys were taken from their mothers.
The scene where all the young boys were given swords...it made me think of my little brother, but he would be too young anyway.
The scene where the mother sends her two children off on the horse.

Gee...I know there must be more! But there they are, for all of you to see what a big baby I am! lol

[Anardil]

As a male, I am not allowed to cry in public smilies/frown.gif , but I certainly became very emotional during both FotR and TTT. One scene which has not been mentioned yet is during the Battle of Helm's Deep, when the Orcs have taken the Keep and are breaking into the Caves. Gimli notes that dawn has come, and Aragorn sees the light shining in through the window. We hear Gandalf's last words to Aragorn, and Theoden says "The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep one last time". Brings water to my eyes every time.

[Arafangwen]

You guys have no idea how much it takes to make me cry, I get depressed sometimes, or sad, but I don't cry. My eyes did water though when Boromir died(even though I never really liked him to begin with), and when Haldir died(that one almost did me in, I really like his character). But that's all, I laughed out loud when everyone was crying about Gandalf, I was like, "You dorks! Haven't you read the books?! He's not dead!", I thought it was hillarious! I usualy laugh at horror movies and such so everything in FOTR and in TTT was basicly funny to me! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Elrowen Greenleaf]

It usually takes alot for me to cry, but I did tear up abit when Gandalf fell, and I'm not ashamed to say that I still tear up when Boromir died (even after seeing the movie a bunch of times). I also cried a little bit when Arwen was talking to Elrond in TTT. That was SO sad... Also the look on Legolas' face when they had thought Aragorn died... smilies/frown.gif

In the books, I teared up a little and in the Silmarillion parts were sad. Like when Turin realized he had killed hi best friend, and when Glorfindel and Fingolfin died that was sad... but not sad enough to make me tear up.
