Here's the thing: IF you ever find yourself in an impossible situation, and you KNOW you're about to die ... Well, how did you think it would all turn out??? Everybody faces this inevitable demise, because that's the way things are, all forms dissolve. Everything goes back into the entropy trough, but there's a fundamental flaw in that we use intellect to define the world (normally), and intellect isn't always correct!

@kellorkleft02 - If you find your center, live totally in the moment, then you will find out who and what you really are ... THEN you will understand that there is no morbid black plain of life unless that's what you want. The truth is in the silence, and is where wisdom dwells. Fight for whatever it is that you hold dear, fight for your bliss!

Actually they don't know that for sure. Half the places Gandalf goes to they think he's some crazy old coot who sells fireworks. Most of the people who do know something about him fall far short of knowing he was one of the Maiar too.

I've seen this movie more times than I can even attempt to count, but this part gets to me every time...

Every. Frickin'. Time.

@berserker276 Why not? Verisimilitude is usually a chief concern of world building, it certainly was for Tolkien who went to great lengths to achieve it (Certainly greater than any writer before him and very likely since.).

Tolkien was meticulous in his effort to create what he referred to as a "secondary world".

@EmperorofCartoons Are you seriously talking about realism on an LOTR video lol?

@EmperorofCartoons

Because they want to live, they want to see another sunrise, they want to live to do more and finish what they can; it is human nature. Just as well, the passing itself is scary as it is unknown, it is unexperienced, and thus not understood and we fear what we do not understand.

[EmperorofCartoons]

Its a little unrealistic I think, that anyone in Tolkien world, a world where people know beyond all shadow of a fact God is real and death is absolutely NOT their end, would have any fear of it.

I love Middle Earth, and I love Tolkien work, dont get me wrong, but how could anyone realistically have any fear at all if they knew without any doubt or chance that death was just transitory. Yet people in Middle Earth DID fear for their lives at times.

So beautiful, and true.

"Well it wont be that bad... at least for me. I`ll become Gandalf the pink and you`ll be eaten by trolls..."

When I'm about to die, Gandalf's words here will be echoing through my mind at that moment.
