The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - Gondor Calls For Aid!

❗Blink beacon three times for false alarms, accidental burning, or other unintentional ignitions.❗

I just came here for the orchestra just as I remember in the old days

Last week i watched this movie with live orchestra. When this scene came up, the crowd exploded into adrenaline and happiness.
Best f*cking expierence in my life.

luckly nobody was goofing off from work that day

No wonder tourism to New Zealand became a rage after this. Canadians must be hoping for their own LOTR as well. 😅

Wow, I forgot how good Lord of the Rings is. 🥹

And the Titanic will answer!

The music is just chills

Total shivers everytime Aragorn runs in shouting "The beacons are lit! Ghondor calls for aide!" And then the response "and Rohan will answer" i could run through a brick wall i swear

The world doesnt deserve such an amazing scene

Thank god these were made back when they were. The nasties can't tamper with them.

THE BEACONS ARE LIT GONDOR CALLS FOR AID

"You have two days! ... On the third, we ride for Gondor....and War!"

Small words, gréat meaning: Eomer, Grimbold and Gamling: Theoden's Warlords, were to ride out and rally as many people as possible, yet, despite the need, Theoden did add that they need to spare their horses enough to save strenght to ríde to Gondor after, and have the strenght to do battle!

Small details, but só important: Exhausted troops are useless on a battlefield: Any assembled troops hád to be able to fight their very best still!

The irony of this scene, is that in the books, it's just a throw away line as Gandalf and Pippin ride to Minas Tirith, as they see a couple of the beacons lit in their passing. Peter Jackson and Howard Shore turned it into a epic scene of hope against a relentless and remorseless foe.

"THE BEACONS ARE LIT! GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!!!!" "AND ROHAN WILL ANSWER!, MUSTER THE ROHIRRIIM!" that was a man committed to his ideals and prepared to pay the price of his journey.

I think in his moment of consideration, Theoden thought back to the moment that Aragorn charged him to be a true king and ride out against the orcs to defend Helms Deep when he was in despair. Theoden, in speaking with Eowyn, makes it clear he saw Aragorn as the hero of that moment. This was his chance to truly lead one last time before passing the torch to Aragorn and Eowyn.

Theoden was such a great representation for men. A real king of old.

This scene always brings tears to my eyes :)

I love how he looks at Legolas and sees what the Elves, who are immortal, choose to help knowing they will die and realizes he must do the same.

my god..... this sounddesign. the break in the orchesteral music is composed exactly to give theoden his thinking break, after underlining aragorns cry when entering the door

After watching this like 10 times, my hair grew back on my bald spot, I gained 10 pounds in solid muscle, my testosterone levels shot up to pre 30 year old conditions, and I grew out a fully connecting Viking beard.

Aids

Honestly this scene would have been better if it was a common soldier instead of Aragorn

Not gonna lie, the Wii version of this did a great job keeping the epicness of the original.

Can we get a moment of silence for the poor bastards who guard the beacons on the top of those mountains.

“ - Ukraine calls for aid !
-…
-…
- And OTAN will answer ! “

I bet there's a gag reel that goes something like this:

Aragorn: "THE BEACONS OF MINAS TIRITH! THE BEACONS ARE LIT! GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!"

Theoden: [stares at Aragorn for a few seconds and then...] *shrug*

This scene never fails to give me goosebumps. WE RIDE FOR GONDOR!

I just read about the origins of Rohan and Gondor’s alliance and man it makes this scene so much more impactful 💪💪😭😭😭

i like the comments about rohan king be the shit im more of thinking the poor basterds on top of each frozen ass mountain freezing there balls off be the shit some of them looked very isloated and if u miss your step u falling a long way down kinda shit

my best friends name is Rohan. I'm safe. :)

This is such a perfect f*ck you to Chamberlain and Daladier.

Amazon fucked up when a 3 minutes clip is miles better than that whole garbage

I love the look of the guards. "dude: we´re so fired"

"Muster the Rohirrim!!" Similar to the feeling when one hears "Release the Kraken!"

So how fast does this signal travel?

Reason why rohan answers because Theodan knows its a king of gondar actually asking for help. Takes balls for any king to ask for aid

I remember this scene in cinemas, with the sound and visuals it felt surreal flying through those mountains.

Even though this will always be an incredible scene, I always wonder what the lives of the soldiers near the beacons are like, especially the ones that are way up the moutain. Where and what do they eat? do they sit near the beacon the entire day watching in the distance? what if the soldiers of one of the links was killed a while back and the chain gets interrupted? You start to think about the details of the world and I like that.

Can someone name the soundtrack played during the beacons scene

Why is it with Lord of the rings you can always just watch a random scene, and it's like the most epic thing ever lol.

I'm amaze nobody slacking/sleeping on the job near those bon fire.

1. The White Tree is one of the greatest cinematic scores in cinema history
2. Imagine your job is one of the guys who’s whole job is to light the beacon, its never happened before but your whole jobs is to sit on top of the mountain and just wait for that light, EVERY SINGLE DAY. Then one day, BOOM the beacon is lit. Probably the greatest day of those guys lives.

If there is but one thing I wished from the trilogy, it was that Gondor wasn’t made to look the fool. Denethor was an ass, yes, but he was from the same line of men as Aragorn, a Numenorian, through and through. He sent the red arrow to Rohan. He had the beacons lit, calling for aid from western Gondor. The Gondorians, under his watch, withstood the siege for as long as they could with terribly depleted forces. The films glossed that over and made the Gondorians look like novices who barely knew which end of the sword to pick up, when they had heroes and great men of their own.

It’s imposible for me to watch this whole sequence without feeling the creeps!!!

They were like the Winged Hussars saving Venice.

But if the distance is only about 500km, how come it's nighttime halfway through the messaging?

Aint that the greatest scene of them all
