Elrond comes across him and muses that Gilraen knew her son would always be hunted because of his royal lineage. He kneels at the grave of Gilraen, his mother, who left him in Elrond's care when he was a baby. Aragorn gets another illuminating moment in Rivendell, just before the Fellowship departs. It's a neat bit of worldbuilding, bringing in some important Elven history while laying the groundwork for Aragorn's star-crossed romance with Arwen. RELATED: Tom Bombadil Wasn’t the Lord of the Rings Films' Biggest Snub - Wasįast-forwarding to the Hobbits' early days of adventuring with Aragorn, there's a short but important scene of the mysterious Ranger singing the Lay of Lúthien as his companions try to get some sleep in the Midgewater Marshes. It's not directly integral to the plot, but it's a gorgeous scene that carries the serene beauty of Tolkien's imagination. Frodo tells Sam that the Elves are leaving Middle-earth for Valinor, as their time in the mortal realm is coming to an end. Through the trees, they witness a mournful procession of Elves on their way to the sea. There's also a lovely moment that takes place during Frodo and Sam's first night in the woods. A scene a bit later at the Green Dragon adds similar worldbuilding and character-establishing moments for Frodo and the younger Hobbits. Bilbo's loving, sardonic and somewhat pointed remarks about his people and their simple ways are utterly charming and pure Tolkien. This scene serves the double purpose of familiarizing audiences with Bilbo's personality, as well as with Hobbit culture. RELATED: Is Lord of the Rings' Pipe-Weed Actually Middle-earth’s Marijuana? The Fellowship of the RingĪfter Galadriel's iconic prologue narration, The Fellowship of the Rings' introductory chapter gets a loving homage in the newly added "Concerning Hobbits" sequence. The additional material in the Extended Editions expands on the original Lord of the Rings films to create an immersive, lore-rich spectacle that fleshes its characters out and hews more closely to J.R.R. Whichever side of this debate one falls on, though, it's clear that the two watching experiences are quite different. The vast majority of fans seem to prefer these longer versions, though Jackson himself, somewhat surprisingly, feels differently. The Extended Editions were released in handsomely designed DVD sets a few months after their theatrical counterparts and have enjoyed wide viewership and admiration from the fandom in the years since. There are also new musical cues and special effects to accompany the added content. Some of the additional material consists of lengthened versions of existing scenes, but a good chunk of it is entirely new footage unavailable outside of these cuts. Released between 20, the Extended Editions of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings - comprised of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King - add a whopping 2 hours and 5 minutes of content to an already-lengthy trilogy.
