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

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.

I always get an adrenaline rush screaming "DEATH!!!" along with the Rohirrim.

It's always great when you read other peoples posts and you get chills...That's usually a good sign

For me..any scene with Eowyn. Miranda Otto is such a wonderful actress

Aragorn: What do you fear my lady?
Eowyn: A cage..to stay behind bars until use and old age accept them. When all sense of valor has gone beyond all recall or desire.

And of course the give in..
Eowyn: I am no man!!!

Also the scene in the EE of TTT when Eowyn is singing at Theodred's burial

All scenes with Grima and Eomer

Grima: Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind? Can you not see? He is wearied by you..malcontent...your war-mongering!
Eomer: War-mongering? How long ago was it when Saruman bought you!? What was the promised price Grima? When all the men are dead you take your share of the treasure!? Too long have you watch my sister...too long have you haunted her steps!!

Oh! Scenes with Sam. Sean Astin is an inspiration.

Sam: I made a promise Mr Frodo! A promise! Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee! And i don't mean to! I don't mean to.

Sam: I may not be able to carry the ring, but I can carry you!!

That's all for now. I'll warrant there will be more later.

I love the scenes between Theoden and Eowyn (and they really get good in ROTK). Since Eomund was dead, I always thought of Eowyn and Theoden having a close relationship, and the movies really brought that out.
