Tolkiens Arda – Sveriges stora Tolkienforum

Angående mäktigaste scenen så kan Jag inte komma på någon. Det får Mig endast att tänka på att den mäktigaste scenen från "LotR" inte kom med i filmerna för att PJ skulle få briljera med lite specialeffekter.

Jag antar att du tänker på när nazgulernas herre rider in genom Minas Tiriths bräckta portar och möts av Gandalf? Det är den scenen du brukar lyfta fram, om jag minns rätt. Men vi vet ju inte ännu om den kommer med! Hittills har vi ju bara sett trailern till filmen...

Gandalf och Häxmästaren ska ju mötas i EE, iallafall. Så mycket kunde ses på trailern. Inte för att det är någon garanti för hur scenen sedan utspelar sig, men det vore ju trevligt att se. Hoppas dom klämmer in tuppen också!

Men vi vet ju inte ännu om den kommer med!

Grond crawled on. The drums rolled wildly. Over the hills of slain a hideous shape appeared: a horseman, tall, hooded, cloaked in black. Slowly, trampling the fallen, he rode forth, heeding no longer any dart. He halted and held up a long pale sword. And as he did so a great fear fell on all, defender and foe alike; and the hands of men drooped to their sides, and no bow sang. For a moment all was still.
The drums rolled and rattled. With a vast rush Grond was hurled forward by huge hands. It reached the Gate. It swung. A deep boom rumbled through the city like thunder running in the clouds. But the doors of iron and posts of steel witstood the stroke. Then the Black Captain rose in his stirrups and cried aloud in a dreadful voice, speaking in some forgotten tongue words of power and terror to rend both heart and stone. Thrice he cried. Thrice the great ram boomed. And suddenly upon the last stroke the Gate of Gondor broke. As if stricken by some blasting spell it burst asunder: there was a flash of searing lightning and the doors tumbled in riven fragments to the ground. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of depair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.
All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen. "You cannot enter here", said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. "Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your master. Go!"
The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter. "Old fool!" he said. "Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!" And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade.

Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed, Shrill and clear he crowed. recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows od death was coming with the dawn. And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin's sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.

Är det inte scenen med nazgulerna vid Bruinen som Fëanor brukar tala så varmt om?

Jag kan ju förtydliga att det jag syftade på med "trailern" var bioversionen. Trailern till den förlängda versionen har jag bara ögnat igenom en gång som hastigast och kommer nog inte att se igen. Jag vill gärna låta mig överraskas...

Attans lång trailer!

Scenen finns med i den "riktiga" trailern till EE.

Även jag måste hålla med om att Pelennor och rohirrim står mycket högt i rang. Men det är en sen jag tycker bättre om (även om den kanske inte är så oerhört mäktig, men lite ändå) och det är hela episoden från att Faramir kommer tillbaka och pratar med Denethor och blir bortskickad till Osgiliath till att Pippin slutar sjunga. Helt klart en mycket bra scen (kommer tårar varje gång jag ser den).
