Anyone else shead a tear?

Elfstone. · 01-07-2002, 03:44 PM

So it seemed at the end of the books three, when Samwise said those heartbreaking words,

He drew in a deep breath, "well I'm back," he said.

A single tear ran down my cheek at that first moment I read that and I swear it chokes me up everytime I read it.

*sniff* *sniff*

Just thought i'd ask anyone else like that?

Also on another note how do you think emotions will hold up in the RotK(3rd movie) when it ends in the theatres?

Chills definitely....goosebumps thinking about all that those three words encompassed...

aldesign · 01-07-2002, 04:16 PM

i was close to tears when Boromir died

his last valiant fighting efforts defending Merry & Pippen were excellent. And made him a great man and hero in Striders' and my view.

The film was excellent at encaptulating this moment, all in slow mo, and when the final arrow hit, u could see the tears in the hobbits eyes, as they drew their swords and charged in anger.

I always cry when Borimor dies, and most of the time when Theoden dies.

Renille · 01-07-2002, 11:33 PM

When Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are putting Boromir to rest and at the very very end I cry. Well, I don't know if I cry, but my heart falls to my stomach, my eyes well up just a little, and I start not breathing. (I call it the sadpartsofthelordoftheringsomacitis)

FrodoFriend · 01-08-2002, 12:25 AM

I don't cry when Boromir dies, because at least he goes out fighting . . . but I always cry when Sam thinks Frodo is dead (after he's been stung by Shelob) and then he's lost in Mordor by himself and sinking into despair and contemplating suicide and saying things like 'Don't go where I can't follow!' *sniffle*
And then I cry when Frodo can't walk anymore and he starts crawling up Mount Doom. And in the movie when Gandalf 'dies' and they're all crying and there's that really sad song playing.
And of course, at the end.

Ñólendil · 01-08-2002, 06:37 PM

I can relate, of course. I cried in The Hobbit when Bilbo was hungry. Food is after all very tasty.

FrodoFriend · 01-08-2002, 06:59 PM

LOL. Yes, food often does have a pleasing taste. Poor Bilbo, the dwarves ate all his seedcake!

KGamgee · 01-09-2002, 09:34 PM

I always sob at the end

"Well, I'm home"
*sob sob sob*

Eruviel Greenleaf · 01-11-2002, 03:47 AM

heh. silly me, I cried when Sam thinks Frodo is dead at Shelobs lair. I just thought it was so incredible that someone like Sam had the strength to do that, and everything, and he thinks he's lost Frodo, and. . .anyway. I almost cried at the end of Return of the King--I probably will at the movie! LotR is also recorded as the only book to have made me cry!!

ragamuffin92 · 01-11-2002, 04:22 PM

I also get a little misty when Sam returns home at the end. I have heard that the movie doesn't cover the return to the Shire, I guess we'll all be spared this scene, as well as having to watch Frodo become ill every March 13th; and I don't even want to THINK about having to watch the scene when Frodo, Bilbo, Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond depart the Grey Havens, after having said goodbye to Sam, Merry and Pippen.

IMHO, the most moving scene in the film was the death scene of Boromir. In second place comes Sam and Frodo's interaction as they take off together in the final scene. IMHO, Boromir's scene could not have been done better, even if it had included the lament sung by Strider, Gimli, and Legolas. There was nothing fancy about it, just GREAT acting and terrific scriptwriting. I've seen it twice and got teary both times. And I'm prepared to get teary again when I see it tomorrow night.

I was concerned that the relationship between Frodo and Samwise would be corrupted--either made to be too shallow or too fawning, but they did a great job there, too. Messers Astin and Wood are just terrific.
And I ALMOST cried when the cave troll died, only because he reminded me a little of King Kong or Mighty Joe Young.

Well, maybe not.

Play Girl · 01-11-2002, 04:30 PM

sniffle sob sniff *wipes nose on sleeve*
Well I always cry when Sam goes off into Mordor on his own and then when he relises that his master is still alive. I once cryed when Frodo is found again by Sam - I was so happy! I find the end rather emotionaly draining rather than sad. Life goes on and there is nothing the Hobbits can do to stop it no matter how hard they try.

samwise of the shire · 01-11-2002, 07:01 PM

I cry my eyes out when Sam finally realizes that Mr Frodo is leaving Middle Earth and that he wont be seeing him again for awhile, but then I REALLY cry when I realize this is the last time that Merry and Pippin will be seeing him and he them. It's making ME cry even now. But you should have seen my little borthers face when I read him the part where Sam thinks Frodo is dead.
His face fell like three feet and he whispered"What?Frodo dies?"
And if I'm being REALLY emotional I cry when Sam thinks Frodo is dead and is laying him to rest. And when he kisses Frodo brow before putting his head on the ground is just almost too much for me. And my heart almost breaks when Frodo starts to CRAWL up the mountain. I keep on saying to myself"if Elijah Wood does such a good job in ROTK at being really weakend and hurt as he did in FOTR then you're going to be drowing the audience"

Maybe we should start a group called "The Fellowship of the Blubberers."

uhhh, I mean

Laifalasiel · 01-11-2002, 10:20 PM

I was in tears during Theoden's death in ROTK, and when Sam Discovers Frodo is still alive in TT. As for the movie, Boromirs death really touched me like I didn't expect it to. I was frozen to my seat, clad in a hobbit costume trying so hard to keep from crying. It didn't work too well.

Nenya · 01-12-2002, 11:53 AM

Personally, I usually cry all the way through the Grey Havens chapter. There are bits all the way through that make me cry. Last night, I finished LotR again for the 22nd time, and was busy cryiing my eyes out when my fiance turned up to take me out. he thought it was hilarious, but then again, he refers to LOtR as "that fantasy **** you read". Oh well...I guess I'm not going to get my LotR theme wedding!

KGamgee · 01-12-2002, 07:05 PM

Umm... I cry at the end of the book, when Sam thinks Frodos dead, when Sam finds out Frodo's NOT dead (happy tears) and about 50 other times.
If you start Fellowship of the Blubberers, let me know

Nazgûl Queen · 01-12-2002, 08:35 PM

Yeah...
There are soo many sad parts!

*Where Gandalf falls into Moria
*Where Boromir Dies
*Where Frodo is stung
*Where, on Mount Doom, Frodo and Sam hold hands and just lie down together and wait for death to come to them.
*Where the Ringbearers leave for the Havens

And many more!
