"Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends." (Gandalf)
Aah, words to live by... especially for those in positions of power and authority.

@anonymousguy99 The soundtrack is called A journey in the dark

I cant beleive Ian Mckellen acted so well without understanding what he told Frodo.. he's himself such a wise and good man

@rictheis I understand where you get feelings like this, but as a Catholic, I feel like I should point out that Tolkien was Catholic too. Gandalf's speech is Catholicism at its best. From outside the church it might seem like a judgmental, guilt causing organization, but within we have the sacrament of reconciliation. where you get your sins completely and totally forgiven, no matter what they are. The church sticks to calling sins sins, but guilt can be washed away in reconciliation.

Where is this part in the soundtrack?!

"There are other forces in this world besides the will of evil".............. that's a statement that i'm trying so hard to disbelieve at the moment.

J.R.R Tolkien, Take a Bow.

@allgreen96 nice to see a follower of God among the many that deny his existence. I will let God be my guide and let his plan come to pass. :)

we can all make a difference in this time.... sometimes we don't want to live in this time , but remember God gave us this time... and God picked us for this time because he has a good plane for you even if you can't see it !!!

Sir Ian McKellan......... an absolute MASTER. He turns a simple scene into a work of art. I've never been one for the whole "thespian, lovie-darling" thing but there is something special about the likes of Ian McKellan when they do a scene. Just like Oliver Reed and Derek Jacobi in Gladiator........... they just OOOOZE class. So to did Richard Harris of course,

I'm looking forward to seeing that moment of pity.
This is one of the most powerful parts in the whole Trilogy. Thanks for posting it.

i reread the book b4 the movies came out. this speech changed my life. 4 15 yrs a carried hatred towards the man that killed my sister. she was my best friend. i wanted to make him feel agony beyond comprehension. courts were 2 good for him she was 10(nothing weird just shot her) while i had heard this message b4 nothing gave me peace til i read this. it was destroying my life and Tolkien saved me. it was like a switch the moment i read it i forgave him and could move on.

@horizen12 - Now this is the kind of 'success' that makes Tolkien timeless and his books a great literary work. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@horizen12 - Someone once said that the "LOTR" trilogy was better than the 'Holy Bible' of the Christians, it certainly has less pornography! I found your comment to be one of the finest I've ever read, thank you ... I think we should all be 'forgiving'. I once remarked that Jesus, before he died, said that he is giving his life so that others would not feel 'Guilt' and be forgiven... then the Church turned this around and made everyone feel guilt even more than before.

One of Ian McKellen's finest moments ever, I think... I teared up a little when I first saw this in the theater... He did Tolkien's words great justice
