Scene that makes you cry

[PiRaTeGiRl]

Lord of the Rings movies are all very emotional: friendships, departure...

What is the most emotional scene that makes you cry? Tell why it is that emotional for you.

The part that makes me cry is the ending of The Two Towers, especially Sams speach in the end. I could cry, when I heard that... it is very very touching.

I also feel very sad in Frodos departure in the end.

I cry almost every time I watch the end of The Return of the King, where they're in the harbor... just seeing the expressions on the hobbits' faces, and knowing they won't ever see Frodo again. I think it's also more powerful because it's the end of not only one movie I really liked but three.

Theoden's death and Eowyn's attempt to save him is somewhat emotional for me at times, and Sam and Frodo on the rock outside Mt Doom, but not always - I have to be in the right mood.

Nothing in Fellowship or Two Towers affected me very much, although I agree that Sam's speech in TTT is really nice.

I think all the Fellowship of the Ring is emotional, the leave from the Shire, the departure of the Elves.

I've cried my way through RotK many a time. It tends to start when Sam says to Frodo "I can't carry it for you but I can carry you!" There are so many heartwrenching moments in that final film though and they play them so beautiful that I find myself completely engaged in the story, cheering them on and sobbing when I see the emotions they share when they think Frodo might possibly be dead.

I've cried in one scene (RotK), when Sam told: I cannot carry it for you, but I can carry you...
So, haha, i agree with Elven. x)

I didn't cry in that scene.. I don't know, I don't feel like crying in that scene..its just.. touching XP

Yeah this is very much a girl's forum. :)

OK, I'm not a crier, but the scene where Theoden realizes that they have to deal with the Haradrim and their giant oliphaunts, and the charge of the Rohirrim, well that scene gets me a bit choked up. I think what really gets me is that I see Theoden make a quick, firm decision, then you see a determined look on his face. Then the men line up quickly and eagerly, and they just go do what needs to be done. And they do it!

It was not something for the faint of heart, and they were not faint-hearted.

Well, that's the sort of thing that gets to me. If I'm going to be emotionally affected by something in a story, it's likely going to be something like what I described with Theoden and his men.

I think all the war mess only gets me nervous or something like that... especially the look of that orcs! lol

[FairyFruit]

The only scene that gets to me (usually) is when they're at the harbors. :(

[Clarett]

Oh, I love the picture ;o)

Uhh, there is a lot of scenes - depending on my mood I can cry on many of them or stay calm at all.

I remember when I first say ROK - beceuse I knew it was the last part I was already sad when I started watching. But I started seriously cry (don't worry it was quite quiet;) ) when Sam told about enough food to come back home and for some reason I couldn't stop until the end^^ happily now it is much better..

Anyway i was getting always upset when the movie ended and i had to go back to reality....

Hehe, I always feel that way whenever I get to the end of a book, as well.

I always find it hard to answer questions like this...

But anyways... I really don't cry all that much, either, but I do usually end up teary-eyed when Boromir dies, and when Gandalf fell into darkness and they're all devastated with despair and grief...
Or when Denethor is treating Faramir so very, very coldly.

But as some people said before, it depends on my mood when I get emotional for which scene.
Something that always gives me goosebumps, though, are the speeches... Theoden's at Helm's Deep, Eomer's short but courageous lines at the Mustering, but most especially Aragorn's at the Black Gate.
Or when Théoden unsheaths his sword for the first time again... Also when he cites that poem about the Horse and the Rider, while he's putting on his armour at Helm's Deep.

Oh, and did anyone ever notice the look on Elrond's face, when Aragorn and Arwen meet again for the first time at Aragorn's coronation? That look on his face is so bittersweet, you can tell he's happy for her, but at the same time already grieving for the loss of his daughter.

Sheesh, lol... always find it hard to answer such questions, but when I do get going, it keeps coming. :p

Haldir's death scene,He shouldn't have even been there dammit!!

It was slightlyspoilt fo me when my friend informed me that Craig Parker was in fact hummin 'Always look on the right Side of Life' throughout that scene,knowing it would be overscored, he tried to make Viggo laugh. Lucky cow (my friend) was told this by Craig himself when she met him at the LORT Exhibition in London-I went on the wrong day!

My ranger (read: boyfriend) still teases me... There were quite a lot of 'HUH'-moments in The Two Towers, and apparently I expressed that fairly obviously the first time I ever went to see the movie.

Aragorn falling down the cliff, Elves arriving at Helm's Deep, Haldir dying, Faramir taking the Hobbits to Osgiliath. Seriously, I felt disappointed and quite angry after my first viewing.
