How many people cried? and how many times?

Just saw ROTK yestersay and I think I cried for the last 15 mins nonstop!
Just wantet to know, who else cried heaps and what scene made you cry the hardest? 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

Definatly when Frodo and Sam are climbing up Mount Doom and Sam asks him if he remembers the shire. And Frodo replies no and says how he is naked in the dark...That got the most tears from me.

Oh yea, me too.
And at the end when Frodo says goodbye to sam and before that when he's back home at Bag end, but he's finding it so hard to get his old life back, and he has to leave and Sams like "you can't leave Mr Frodo!"
I was bawling

Yeah i cried way too much...but what was cool is...I was talking to 2 of my guy friends and they said they cried like babies. And one of their girlfriends was like "yeah, they were crying so hard their chairs were shaking." They cried more than her. its so cool when guys show emotion.

I cried through the whole...well nto really but I think the one of the saddest parts was when therodm(sp) died and when frodo told Sam to go home and when sam was telling frodo about the shire I was cring sooooo much this girl I didn't even know who was beside me gave me a tissue it was a really sad movie but it was awesome!!!

LOL, ElvenQueen. I was sitting next to these guys that I didn't know, and they were acting all macho before the movie, but any time the emotional scenes started, they started crying!! It was soooo funny, but sweet!

I cried during the whole thing, but mostly when Frodo told Sam to go home. And when the title came up on screen. And when Denethor told Faramir that he wanted him to die. And when Sam carried Frodo up the mountain. And when Theoden died. And when Frodo left. And at the end credits. And when Pippin sang while Faramir did that suicide mission. And when Arwen saw her son. And when Pippin and Gandalf spoke about death.

Those are all the scenes I can think of when I was REALLY bawling uncontrollably. The rest of the movie was just a steady flow of tears, haha.

Did anyone else feel sad when the Oliphaunts died? Because they looked like Elephants? All I could think of was Dumbo....please say I'm not the only one!!

EVERYONE SINGLE SCENE WHERE SAM STARTS TO CRY, I WAS BAWLING!!! And others were too, wwwwaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about other people but I started crying whenever ANYBODY in the movie cried. Especially when Theoden dies and the end when they sail away 🙁

I cried when Frodo told Sam to leave, when Theoden died, when Frodo and Sam were talking about the Shire at Mt. Doom, and at the Grey Havens. And then the person I was with cried all the way through the credits.

I didn't cry. I couldn't, I was so wrapped up in the movie, that I had to stay focused. One thing that made me want to cry, was when I had to walk out of the movie knowing that this is the end. I felt like I was depressed for about a day, but I got over it knowing that it was the beginning of Winter Break. 🙂

the part where aragorn says "my friends, you bow to no one"... i didn't make me cry, just teary eyed... that was an awesome scene, just seeing all these people bow to the hobbits...

The biggest tear jerker for me was at the end when Frodo left for the Grey Havens. The scene where Sam is holding Frodo, on their journey to Mount Doom, was also a very touching moment.

I was about to cry when Smeagol turned Frodo against Sam. That was so sad. I also thought that when Aragorn told Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin that you bow to no one was so touching. I really do believe that the lotr trilogy has left something in my heart. It's such a touching trilogy.

Me too. It has left something positive in my heart as well. I feel a sense of joy and saddness at the same time. The soundtrack has had a powerful effect on me as well.

"I never really envision the finish of anything I start. It is risk that fascinates, the moment of infinite possibility. It lures me through eternity when all other charms fail." author unknown

One of my favorite quotes from lotr was that one from Gandalf. The other was: "No parent should ever have to bury their child." - Theoden, Two Towers. In fact, I think that I'll start a thread on that. 🙂

I know this sounds crazy but i got all tear eyed when at the end, at the black gate, Aragorn and the rest of the army were surrounded and they knew they couldn't win so Aragorn just turns to them all and says "for Frodo" and first Merry n Pippin charge then almost every one else O MY GOD that was great!!!!

no, no, that isn't crazy, I thought that was touching also

good i thought i was the only one but i thought that was so awsome i cried going out of the theater and when you see Aragorns face when he sees Arwen oh there finally together aww 😍

i haven't seen ROTK yet (cause it comes out on the 26th) but so far in the trilogy when they exit moria and when boromir dies.

i think boromirs death is the most heroic, dramatic, tragic screen death ever (but they change in a few days - but then again he's my favorite character)

and i'm pretty sure i'll be taking tissues just to be safe.

I am a guy and I am not afriad to admit that upon seeing ROTK I cried. Since I cried in Two Towers as well I figured this one would make me worse, lol.

When I saw the Rohirrim charge into the Orc armies and the Rohan theme played I got all teary eyed just because of the entire majesty of that scene. Frodo turning on Sam made me hate Frodo and feel very sorry for Sam, the many partings at the end....ummm... there were more.

Denethor saying he wished Faramir had died and just a little later on when Pippin sang that song and Faramir's charge was killed.

For the other movies the march of the ents makes me teary eyed because again the musical score just gives everything such meaning, almost conveys the emotion in a way that you feel the sacrifice they are making. In Fellowship like Bar-en-Danwedh said the death of Boromir was heoric, tragic and very moving as he continues to fight even though he knows he is going to die....wow. His words with Aragorn and when Aragorn says
''I will not let the White City fall nor our people fail''
"Our people"

The Lord of the Rings trilogy in my opinion is one of the most un Hollywood films of recent times because instead of focusing on explosions, action and sex Peter Jackson has focused on telling a story of a battle between Good and Evil, how far we are willing to go to protect what we love. What we are willing to risk.

Sorry how the latter half of that kinda became a review of sorts
