Whenever i hear of bad news from around the world of terrorism i always think back to this scene from my favorite films of all time. Hopefully this provides people hope.

This is so precious

Shut up, Sam

And this is why LOTR is better than GOT

Remember this book was written by a WWI veteran :)

Sean Astin is shit at acting. He was shit in LOTR, he was shit in Rudy, he was shit in the Goonies. The sooner people realise, the better.

I am 100% crying and I don't care who knows it.

My favorite quote from the LOTR books: "When..." up until "...said he." A.k.a. the entire frigging book!!

I skipped this part. Too much yapping not enough head chopping orcz

cheers, Sam.

Despite conflicts and terrorism the world is actually safer then ever. At no point in history were you less likely die in war or murder
alwayschangingusername
that may be. but we have the shadow of nuclear war hanging over us and the constant fear of terrorism. we may be safer but we don't feel it
leodavinci1
That shadow has been there for almost 3/4 of a century. Terrorism even longer. Not feeling safer means the perception of reality is off.

Except Frodo and Sam actually did something instead of just sitting around being hopeful and posting crap on the internet.

And this is why children shouldn't be coddled by entertainment; bring back the bittersweet stories that teaches you something.

I wanna hear more about Sam.
ProphetJoeReinke
I used to watch LotR all the time and 14 year old me would get all choked up at Sam's speech. Very good film.
unclegrampy
Good choice!
floppyballbags
He's wise, that Sam.
MisterOp
The name "Samwise" in Old English would mean "Half-wit." After all, Sam is supposed to be not the smartest person. Tolkien was clever.
TheKerfuffle
Frodo wouldn't have gotten very far without Sam.

The problem is when people refuse to fight for the good things and just lie down and take it. (IE, many European countries)
SmolTenk
abandon them that easily.

Thats because we value different things. We (and others) fhought hard, shed blood, to attain the rights we have today. we are not going to

I've still never read the books, which as a lifelong D&D nerd, is practically a mark of shame, haha.

These are my favorite movies and I love reading fantasy, but can never finish reading the series. Tried a few times and get stuck on RotK

If you enjoy reading novels, read those books. Even if you hated the movies, read those books
Shadraa
Tolkins style of writing is very special. So much attention to detail. Either you will love it or hate it. For me its my all time favourite
DisarmedFire
I love how he writes as if he is speaking to you; telling you a story and helping you understand in a very kind way.
xaviouswolffe
My friends call it very dry writing but I love it.
vipe650r
Unabridged Audiobooks narrated by Robert Inglis. So rich. I'm so glad that was how I went through it the first time.
fitlex
His style varies in intensity. The Silmarillion is so dense and difficult to compared to LotR, and similar from there to the Hobbit

I don't know how to play D&D.. but I read the books... someone teach me how to play D&D
EvilKam
I don't know any of the rules after 2nd Edition. I'm old.
TheColdflame
it's pretty simple. draft character then the DM guides you through a story, you can take any action- some actions are based on dice rolls
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
Ok. magic, swords, gods or stealth?
vipe650r
Best advice I can give. Unabridged Audiobooks narrated by Robert Inglis. You will not regret it. Seriously. Do it!
splatking
I'm almost 37 and first read LOTR at 9. I've reread it almost every year since. Tolkien is head and shoulders over other fantasy and...
splatking
...much of general literature besides.
SonBro
As a fellow D&D nerd you should know that almost everything in the game stems from JRR's interpretation of medieval fantasy. Shits great.
EvilKam
Absolutely confirmed.
GapingAnalCavity
Somehow I don't see the story turning out the same way if they'd stayed in the Shire posting motivational pics on scrollur.com
SmolTenk
instead they sat on their thumps until gandalf told them to move.

Fun trivia: he says "by all rights we shouldn't be here" as a tribute to the fact that in the books they never actually go there
InfinitusEquitas
That's just awesome writing right there.
GrievousBHarmsworth
Sam DID give a strikingly similar speech in the books (though under different circumstances), if I recall correctly.
InfinitusEquitas
Yes he did, though I admit I don't remember when exactly.
GrievousBHarmsworth
Bringing the hobbits there goes so against Faramir's character. In truth he gave them a bunch of food, two walking sticks, then let them go.
Thevelorebluemarble
Irritated me to no end, the arc of his character is that he can see the mistakes of his Brother .
Tarlon
I think the movie held true to his character. Faramir still didn't give a damn about the Ring - but wanted to be recognised by his father.
