LOTR Extended Edition - An ent story

[Foxovsky]

amazing scene

[MagiereShepard]

Just read about the creation of the Ents in the Silmarillion. Cool! :D

[345Doler]

i have to sleep... zzzzzzzz

[tysswe1]

im actualy glad they left this out :)

[Intoxicatedpandabear]

Another Tom Bombadil line from Treebeard I see.

[Richard600606]

0:14 liiike... whateeeever

[brandeezy108]

i want to see a mountain troll fight an ent.

[happyman]

ents have tuberculosis... or emphysema

[LordGodsServant]

In the Fellowship of the Ring book some of the talk in the books suggest a walking tree. This is a clue that suggests that the Entwives eventually migrated to the Shire.

Treebeard even says, after the Hobbits describes the Shire "they would've like your land.

Also, The Old Forest and Fangorn were once connected but are now separated. They are similar in the fact that the trees are at least partially sentient. But Fangorn is much stronger because of the Ents.

[retbookers]

This is such a beautiful scene. It's everyday that you hear a poem from a tree. Well we never do at all. Trees are such an amazing part of nature. ='( I thank both Tolkien and Jackson for the way they both gave life to the trees, Tolkien in the books and Jackson in the movies. This scene makes me want to walk in a the woods and recite a poem.

[Serenamcflyfan]

@retbookers I agree! One of my fave parts was that he gave trees life and made them walk and talk in his books. I wish Ents were real. I've always had a connection with trees and i feel so amazing when i'm in the woods. But you know that scene in the movie where they see all the forest that has been chopped down by the orks i can't help but cry because that is what is happening everyday in our world and it needs to stop :(. I haven't got to the Ent part in the book yet but i can't wait

[retbookers]

@Serenamcflyfan Tolkien loved tree himself, I guess that's why he gave them life in the books. The reason why this is so sad it's because the poem was meant for his Entwife. Call me hippie but I always think trees have feelings, I could understand why the trees in Tolkien's legendarium are so angry. Its all mens doing if we had elves they would be more than pacif with the trees. I wish we had more forests.

[xXCurs3rXx]

@retbookers your first point is wrong. he wrote that there are no allegories in this book.

Mordor isn't Russia and the Shire isn't Britain

[retbookers]

@xXCurs3rXx "I should say that, in addition to my tree-love (it was originally called The Tree), it arose from my own pre-occupation with the Lord of the Rings, the knowledge that it would be finished in great detail or not at all, and the fear (near certainty) that it would be 'not at all'. The war had arisen to darken all horizons. But no such analyses are a complete explanation even of a short story..." a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien on his "Tree and Leaf" book. Did he love trees? Yes.

[Vyna80]

@retbookers and I agree, there's something magical about the woods. Whether it's summer, fall, winter, or spring, being in a forest always makes me feel at home.

[Vyna80]

@xXCurs3rXx Tolkien explicitly stated that the industrialization of Isengard and The Shire at the hands of Saruman was representative of the industrialization of England. You have to remember, he went to WWI at a young age and when he came back (having lost 2 out of 3 of his best friends), he found that the area he had grown up is was industrialized. However, he fervently denied other suggested allegories, such as that the one ring was an allegory for the atomic bomb.

[Vyna80]

@retbookers you like forests? You should go to Maine, it's 90% forest (17.7 million acres), the highest percentage of forest of any state.

[20PhantoM07]

The Ents were awesome.

[hannahbanana2005]

Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves, the greens of trees fall

When woodland halls are green and cool and the wind is in the West

Come back to me, come back to me

And say my land is best

awwwww Treebeard, such a poet!

[Alexc3217]

He's got worse breathing than Vader...

[raziuldu]

Could anyone one translate what he says? I see other ppl are having problem to understand, principally me, an nun english speaker.

[MsShoosh1]

@raziuldu  I will try, but what do you nees translated??

[MsShoosh1]

@raziuldu I will try, but what do you need transladed? What conversation?

[abanofeso]

i didnt understand a word treebeard said, can someone transtale to me?

[the3rdjoker]

though the film audence these days would have pulled a merry and pippen and fell asleep if they kept this in this version is much more acuerate to how treebeard was in the book I think

[LordSoar]

Where did the Ent woman go too?

[labrynianrebel]

@LordSoar That is a mystery, Tolkien himself said he didn't know.

[iHeartAniime]

@LordSoar It's said that there were Ent Women in the forests at the Shire, in the book a certain hobbit (forgot who) said they saw a walking tree in the Shire.

[todalyweirdgirl]

@LordSoar they took the entwoman to ISENGARD!

[WARORK93]

In the book, Tolkein writes that the Entwives were unsatisfied with the forests of Fangorn and went to live somewhere else. They still saw the Ents from time to time but when Sauron started the first great war, the Entwives were lost in the chaos and never found again.

The Ents have been searching for thousands of years and haven't found the Entwives yet, though it is implied that some may have gone as far as the Shire as treebeard says to Merry that "The Entwives would have liked your home."

[Vladarethull]

So sad, so beautifull

[x316Drak]

Thats because John Rhys-Davies who made Gimli, also made Treebeard voice

[koeny3333]

Don't be hasty... Don't be hasty.....

DAAAANG HE MAKES ME HASTY!!!

[rasmusdk7748]

i dont understant a fucking word of what treebeard says

[KlausDigestive]

That song is in the book:P

[KlausDigestive]

Was it John Rhys-Davies that made the voice of Treebeard?

[ThoraniosX]

@KlausDigestive

he was the actor for gimli.

[autumnl3af3r]

@KlausDigestive Yes!

[autumnl3af3r]

@KlausDigestive I voice acted Treebeard and Gimli!

[chesney121]

@autumnl3af3r

Shut up. No you didn't

[autumnl3af3r]

@chesney121 what I was trying to say was: I knew that John Rhys-Davies voice acted gimli and treebeard.

stupid keyboard ereased some of the word when I was writing the last commentar.

[acco8675309]

Fanghorn is so amazing. Very cool person

[ScrubsRockGirl94]

In the Swedish radioshow of LotR the guy making Treebeards voice talks so slow they had to make 13 episodes instead of 12! XP

[gatorbabe041]

in my personal opinion, treebeard is one of tolkien's greatest masterpieces to come out of lotr.

[NASH20COUGAR]

why is that?

[Mikeg993]

I'd fall asleep to lol^^

[darkairaxandrew]

I would like to have a friend like treebeard

[Bierduvel]

If he were to exist, you would have to have much patience with him. Though he would make you much wiser too.

[topupman]

Treebeards voice is the best!

[FritzHohlstein]

his voice is the same as gimlis :P^^

[LuthienofOssiriand]

Treebeard was inspired by C.S.Lewis!

[devilgryphon]

Lol.. treebear. :p

[funnylord1234]

i think the actory who plays gimli speaks treebeard

[loubo2]

Yes

[TheZombyGrl]

@funnylord1234 he does

[corvifred]

@funnylord1234 yah it is

[Alishondra]

@funnylord1234 He does :)

[ericintohistory]

@funnylord1234 Yes it is the same actor. He was John Rhy Davies.

[zelda1ftw1imo]

treebeard is the gandalf of fangorn

[Selsiuss2]

it sounds like the voice actor is talking whil breathing it at parts. its annouying because i cant tell what he's saying.

[Nonsense0909]

The person who did his voice (Gimli) said, since Tolkien didn't describe how the ents talked, he made Treebeard talk on the inhale, when he breathes in oxygen, compared to where we talk on the exhale.

[Selsiuss2]

well, it can be hard to hear what he's saying. and, since Tolkien didn't describe how most other people talked, does that mean they should speak on the inhale? NO!

[mezzogal]

That's pretty cool! Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen after all.

[eyadava]

i suppose youre talking about treebeard. Hes not a tree, he's an ent. they only look like trees they arent trees :) :)

[mikese93]

i didnt know he did treebeard. now i recognize it though.

[denture14]

RESPECT!!

[xxSanadaxx]

I'm going to stop looking at the comments now...people are just so incredibly STUPID. It's absolutely amazing to see how horribly Tolkiens works are wasted these days on the morons who can't type without using the numbers 2 and 4 and shit like that in place of actual words...atleast I know a few intelligent minds out there still respect decent literary works.

[Druzhina89]

Amen Sanada, Amen;)

[Selsiuss2]

using 2 and 4 in place of two,too,to, and for,four, is much quicker since you don't actually have to type a bunch of letters when you can press one button. its internet slang.

[SimarilRL]

Its ignorance slang...

[Selsiuss2]

but it's quicker. I don't do it though.

[AlextheTitan]

Agreed.

[wafotnytt]

@xxSanadaxx Whiny boy.

[xxSanadaxx]

@wafotnytt

At least you capitalize.

[WordsOfWillsdom]

@xxSanadaxx Well I like the books way better than the movies. I loved the song the Ents sang when they began their last march. They should have put it in the movie. :\

[xxSanadaxx]

@WordsOfWillsdom

Same.

[GVMovies]

three beard seems to be suffering some exhoustion from walking that far if you hear him talk

[paliman]

Its 'Treebeard' not three beard man. And he isnt exhausted, hes only tired or 'stiff' as he says later on in the book at isengard.

[Grinlord]

At least Entish poetry isn't quite as bad as Vogon poetry...

[crockettjvinson]

lol nice reference.

[Mrcoolguy96]

Treebeards talking is hard 2 understand

[Estefania83]

I love this scene.. The Entwives Song, an homage to JRR Tolkien´s inventive.

[theoneandonlypenguin]

treebeard should audition for x-factor

[Yunero]

ancient protectors are useless in singles. one ent can take down a mumakil

[Manhuntmadproduction]

I think it's a great shame to see Peter Jackson cut out some scenes including Gollum, Tree Beard Mouth of Sauron, Dead Armies etc. because animated Characters always boost the ratings of films and attract cinema goers.

[mowm88]

I like it. Good scene!

[battousaiblade]

the hobbits Merry and Pippin are so cute when they sleep!

[Sasukefangirl2333]

treebeard sounds like the movie transformers

[Gaaraguy13]

NO, the Transformers sound like Treebeard.

[darthgator007]

NO they both sound like Chuck Norris...yea...i know...stupid...ill just be quiet now.

[Gaaraguy13]

It's okay, we all have those moments.

[frodoekin]

süper saol

[nielsdejong]

treebeard rocks :)

[coolrag]

I think it is cool how Gimli is the voice of Treebeard

[battousaiblade]

oh yeah! more scenes to watch!!! arigatou!!

[RanaRandom]

Ahhh Treebeard. Thine good ol' Treant.
