The most moving and elegant "we're fucked" I ever heard.

This has always been my favorite part of LOTR II. His speech, the music, the boy soldiers.... so overwhelming

Bernard Hill's acting gives me the chills

Indeed.

@Intranetusa I know all of this, but alot of people dont. They use this is a metaphor, the way Tolkien never intended it to be used, I think thats a shame. For this is the greatest story ever told, imo

And the "black" armies of Mordor is figurative. The evil "black Numenoreans" of Mordor would've looked like Gondorians. Black means evil, not "black skinned."

@reaper555ym

The original books never intended to make it as West vs non-West. Peter Jackson just happened to make the Haradrim similar to Middle Easterners. In the original novels by Tolkein, the Gondorians themselves were slightly darker skinned than the Rohirrim, and the Southern Gondorians had very dark skin color.

I'm black, and I love LOTR, I know, not alotta black folk love this genre of film, but I love it. Its hard for me to see that alot of people use this speech as a metaphor for the current state of Western Civilization. Seeing the black armies of Mordor as a black/arab/non-whites coming to destory the West. Like there never were wars, plagues and troubles in the West before. Anyway, I love LOTR, cant wait for The Hobbit

Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?

Where is the Spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing.
