Post Most Memorable image of ROTK

What was your most memorable moment from ROTK? The image that stayed in your mind long after the credits...I have three:

The shot of Frodo and Sam walking after they have taken off the orc gear...they have no food or protection whatsoever and it is so obvious they have lost hope.

The shot of Frodo caught in the web, his feet not even touching the ground. Simply terrorized me.

Aragorn, whispering "for Frodo..."...brilliant.

A few of them for me...
~Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom
~Sam saying goodbye to Frodo as he gets on the ship for the Havens
~Aragorn seeing Arwen right after he's crowned - I love that!

There's sooo much..it just keeps running in my head.

All the main characters' expressions before the final confrontation outside the Black Gates.
Not to mention Legolas trying to fight his way through the crowd to reach Aragorn - the look on his face! Was a good inclusion to show how even Legolas (usually Mr Calm and Collected) is despairing by the end of the battle.
And the hobbits' faces when the whole of Gondor bows down to them!
... each image starts off another! Hehe. But those are the main ones.

Definately when Arwen comes from behind the banner during Aragorn's coronation. I gasped and held my breath for about 2 minutes! The kiss was perfect too.....:heart:

Mine would definately have to be when Sam carried Frodo up Mount Doom.
"I can't carry the Ring for you Mr. Frodo....but I can carry you." I thought that was just wonderful. It just shows what Sam would do to help rid his Master of this burden. I admit that I had a tear in my eye at that point, just simply perfect.

To me, the greatest ones are

- Pippin singing whila Famamir goes to his death, and Denethor eats liked he didn't care about anything

- Pippin and Merry being the first ones to run to battle after Aragorn says, "for Frodo"

- The Rohirrim running towards death at the Pelennor fields

_ Everyone bowing to the hobbits

- Sam carrying Frodo

- Eowyn taking her helmet off at the battle field, facing the Witch King

- Frodo's face when he says 'The Ring is mine', and then Sam's face in reaction to it. Even though I knew what was going to happen, it tore me up inside emotionally, like a lot of the film did.

- Ewoyn and Merry taking on the Witch King, probably in particular the image of her falling down to her knees after driving the sword into his face.

- Shelob crawling above Frodo after he thinks he's escaped, the second Torech Ungol section. I could feel the audience wanting to scream at him to look up, it was excruciating. My heart was racing then, it was absolutely terrifying.

- Legolas on the Oliphaunt. Not so sure if it was *too* acrobatic and silly, but I loved it at the time, and Gimli's line at the end was great. It was certainly memorable anyway.

- The ship sailing off at the end, obviously, but also Sam at the very end, with his family.

I don't think I'll get to the cinema to see it a second time, so the wait for the DVD will be excruciating. I want to see all this stuff again. No waiting for the EE this time, I'll have rent the theatrical earlier on...

~Frodo's face when he's being carried off by the Eagle. I've been running that shot over and over in my head ever since I saw it.

~When everyone bowed down to the Hobbits. Absolutely wonderful.

~"Not if I stick you first!"

~"I am no man!"

~Sam talking to Frodo about the Shire followed by Sam carrying Frodo. My favorite part!

~The Grey Havens. Everything about it. Wow.

Frodo's face when:

- He sees Galadriel in the vision
- He says 'The Ring is Mine'
- He realizes Sam was right and that Gollum has betrayed him
- Sam is holding him in his arms and he can't remember the Shire, the taste of food, the sound of water
- he is looking up at Sam after he fell over the ledge and he is wanting to just let go
- he turns to look at the other hobbits as he's boarding the ship (I couldn't believe how truly beautiful he looked)

fearful, confused, evil, shattered, and at peace; perfection and beauty all wonderfully done by the charming Mr. Wood

The sounds that sticks with me are Billy's voice singing while the men of Gondor ride to their deaths, 'Grond' repeated over and over and over by the Mordor host; the last song 'Into the West'

Here's mine :

- The lighting of the beakons.
- Frodo's smile to the other hobbits when he's on the ship to the GH.
- Eowyn pulling off her helmet in front of the Witch-King.
- Those heads being flung into MT at the start of the BOPF (eew)
- Arwen appearing at Aragorn's coronation.
- Everyone bowing to the hobbits.
- The Mount Doom scene.

These have stuck after only seeing it once...well, first to come to mind anyway, or things I won't forget (ep. #4, eww, and so sad! For the people who lost their heads and the ones being hit by them)

The total movie.

* Faramir's face just before he's leaving to Osgilliath for a hopeless fight:cry: and Denethor, eating like a pig:angry:
* Théoden's face when he sees that the Witch King was slain by Éowyn
* Sam saying "I can't carry the Ring for you, but I can carry you"
* Aragorn's face when he sees Arwen at the coronation:love:
* Sam when he finally desides to talk to Rosie:love:

Erm, did I mention 'the total movie'?

Probably the look on Faramir's face when Denethor acknowledges that he would have preferred that Boromir live and Faramir die, and Pippin's reaction as he is witnessing the two of them.

the one image that sticks in my mind is when as farmir is of to his death and denthor is eating and the cherry bursts and it looks like blood spurting everywhere as he has sent his son to death, i felt disgusted.
Also smeagol eating the raw fish equally disgusting.
Smeagol falling into mnt doom and smeagols evil grin at sam when frodo trusts smeagol more than sam.

I've only seen it once, and the image that will not leave me is that of Frodo and Sam lying on that boulder in Mordor post-Ring destruction. The music during that scene... wow. So powerful and hopeless and sad :cry:

*Spoilers obviously*




Mount Doom in a whole was a wonderful scene. But what touched me most is when Frodo and Gollum both fell over the edge. I gasped and clutched my arm rests. I held my breath as Gollum and the Ring finally came to an end. Sam struggled to the ledge and we see that Frodo had clung to the side with his blood covered hand. He looks up and he just wants to let go and be free of all the torment. The next line brought tears to my eyes.

"Don't you let go!" Sean Astin did a wonderful job delivering that line. :cry:

Peace~

The Scenes that i can't stop thinking about are..

~When Arwen see's her Son with Aragorn.
~When Merry is chasing after Pippin when he leaves with Gandalf....the music was so said, made me cry.
~The retreat from Osgiliath with Gandalf riding towards them with his staff and it shines that white light....awesome!
~Pippin's Song when Faramir and others are riding towards death.
~The whole battle scene at Minas Tirith.
~The look on Theoden's face when he see's the Witch-King on the Nazgul...how it's in slow motion.
~When Sam is crying when Frodo told him to go home.
~When Pippin and Merry charge towards Mordor before Aragorn says 'For Frodo'.
~When Arwen and Aragorn meet again when he is made king.
~The whole scene with the Grey Havens.


The movie was wonderful...period. Every scene i loved!!

*Arwen envisions her son with Aragorn--the look on the boy's face so plaintive as she realizes that if she chooses to go, he will never have life

* Elrond delivers The Flame of the West to Aragorn

*The death of Theoden, as he tells Eowyn he is no longer ashamed to appear before his fathers ::sniff sniff::

*Gandalf talks to Pippin about what death really is--even more poignant because of the huge, flourishing potted geranium in the background, a symbol of life in the midst of almost inescapable doom

*Aragorn enters the Paths of the Dead--"I do not fear death!"

*Aragorn identifies himself as King of Gondor before the Army of the Dead, and presses them into service

*The look on Lord Elrond's face as Aragorn and Arwen are reunited--he is genuinely moved by their happiness, but almost overcome with grief as he realizes he must relinquish her forever

*Bilbo asks to see the Ring again

*Frodo hands over the Red Book to Sam at the GH and Sam realizes Frodo is leaving with the Elves

"Well, I'm back."

Oh, and I mustn't forget Annie Lennox singing "Into the West" during the credits!

Each time I see it, a new image gets stuck in my head. The first time (well... second time I saw it, first time I got a scene stuck in my head) it was Frodo as the Eagles are carrying him off, but now it's Gandalf sitting and pondering in the streets of Gondor after Pippin sings his song.

All of my most memorable parts have already been said except this one, unless I overlooked it...

After the Ring has been destroyed, Frodo and Sam run out of Mt. Doom onto the island of rock and lava is pouring past them... Frodo is himself again, and Sam cries saying Rosie "would've" been the girl he'd have married; it's so sad because they think they're going to die! When they kind of hug and lean their heads together, that image is stuck in my head. :cry:

The kiss, especially the look in Aragorn's eyes after: the "finally, you're here with me, how I love you"look If anyone has a picture of that, please pm me a link! Merry and Pippin yelling "Frodo", Arwen's vision, Gandalf beating the crap out of Denethor, Denethor falling from Minas Tirith, burning are some memorable ones for mee, too.

I have to agree with most of you...the whole movie is one memorable image for me though! So here's my list at first viewing:
Pippin's song - enough said!
Pippin's face after Gandalf tells him about death and he says "Well that doesn't sound too bad..."
Merry and Pippin run towards Mordor after Aragorn's "For Frodo" - one of the (many) most beautiful moments of the film. I love the way PJ has portrayed the overwhelming love the hobbits have for each other.
Grey Havens - each of the hobbits hugging Frodo...*sniff*
The coronation audience bowing to the four hobbits - the look on their faces says it all!
and much much more....but you can see most of them revolved around the hobbits

So many...but these are the ones I keep seeing.

The moment when Sam thinks Frodo is dead and says "Don't go where I can't follow" - it slayed me!

The incredible look of hurt and pain on Faramir's face as he stands in front of Denethor when he says that he wishes he was dead instead of Boromir.

Elrond leaning down to whisper in Arwen's ear at the coronation. The combined look of happiness and pain was perfect!

And catching various members of the movie crew in costume..most excellent!

I had so many...

*When Sam let Frodo eat the food, and not him.
aww..*sniffs*
*The Arwen and her beautiful-little-boy scene. Gosh, was he cute or what :love::heart::drool:blush:. It made me tear up, but it was a beautiful scene.
*The lighting of the beacons. It was really breathtaking to me:love:.
*When Frodo tells Sam to go home:cry::blush::cry::blush:! That tore me up.
*I loved this one, just b/c it was not expected by me: when Eowyn and Theoden are talking, how he says he wants to see her smile again and then pulls her head towrds his.:love:Very emotional.(And I'm not really a Eowyn or Theoden fan).:blush:
*When Merry and Pip leave eachother *sniffs*
*At the end, when Aragorn turns around so very slowly, and I didn't expect it, and says "For Frodo". :blush::love::cry: And he was teary , too.
*When Sam and Frodo are together at the end: all those end parts. Too much for me . :cry: Especially when he says:"Don't go where I can't follow,Mr. Frodo,"I thought I would burst with emotions.
*When all of the Fellowship is finally joined again, and that gorgeous music plays. WOW. :blush:
*At the end, when Frodo looks like he knows he's leaving the whole time, and how Sam holds on to him soo soo long. I am almost tearing up hearing and thinking about it b/c I love Sam and Frodo. Then Sam kisses him. :cry::love::love::cry:
Those are ine for now. The most beautiful ones. But I loved it. Go PJ.
