This is my favorite part of Two Towers with the elves, I love thier language and thier wisdom amazes me. Galadriel always knows what to say and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when she speaks elvish. Cate Blanchett has a beautiful voice, especially for a wise ring bearer; she makes the most mystical expressions in just the right places. Her eyes are powerful also.
::Elrond is standing by a window. He hears Galadriel speaking.::
Galadriel: I amar prestar aen... han mathon ne nen, han mathon ne chae a han nostan ned gwilith. (Universal Translation:The world has changed... I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air.) The power of the enemy is growing. Sauron will use his puppet Saruman to destroy the people of Rohan. Isengard has been unleashed. The eye of Sauron now turns to Gondor, the last free kingdom of men. His war on this country will come swiftly. He senses the Ring is close. The strength of the Ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Frodo begins to understand. ::Close-up of Galadriel:: The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took.
::Close-up of the Ring spinning in slow motion::
Galadriel (V.O.): In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men.
::We see Faramir and Gondorian rangers with the captured Frodo and Sam.::
Galadriel (V.O.): Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. The young captain of Gondor has but to extend his hands, take the Ring for his own and the world will fall. It is close now, so close to achieving its goal.
::Faramir and company have reached Henneth Annûn. Frodo and Sam and being carried, blinded-folded into the cave.::
Galadriel (V.O.): For Sauron will have dominion of all life on this Earth, even until the ending of the world. The time of the Elves is over.
::Close-up of Galadriel's luminous eyes with their deep pools of wisdom. We then see Elrond in his library, looking at the painting of Isildur facing down Sauron with the broken blade of Narsil::
Galadriel (V.O.): Do we leave Middle-earth to its fate? Do we let them stand alone?
This section is representing life here in a time that we live in. The world is imploding on itself in slow motion and we're so very close to making one mistake that will ruin the whole world, and all but the wisest of us are unaware of our fate. There are so many people who think they're higher and more worthy to live than others, like some elves think they can disappear and leave middle earth to burn, but here Galadriel acts with courage and states the obvious, this is everyone's world, even if we don't all get along or agree, we all have to work together to protect the world in which we all live. *sigh* Lord of the Rings makes me happy, Tolkein was a wise man to combine so many real life situations and make them presentable so that they are entertaining but also make you pensive if you looke deeply enough. Everyone should look so deep as to discover his secrets.

This is another good picture of the elves, of thier devotion, especially Arwen's love for Aragorn, but also the love for her people, the love of life and tradition. The Elvish here is written beautifully but the true beauty can only be heard through Liv Tyler's voice and the expression she uses. Ahhh, Elvish. Short explanation for those who don't understand elves- They are immortal through time, they can be killed by swords but they do not age past a certain point, as long as they stay away from battle they can live forever. Through the war the elves move to Valinor I believe it's called which is the everlasting lands where trees don't die, rivers don't stop flowing, rocks don't grind to sand, and life can go on forever. Aragorn is human, like you and I and is not immortal and currently fighting in the war for the freedom of middle earth. Arwen has given to Aragorn her immortality, so she can spend one lifetime with him instead of eternity without him, if she does not travel to Valinor her "Grace" or immortality will be lost, or she may stay immortal and have to live through Aragorn's death.
Elrond(Arwen's father): He is not coming back. Why do you linger here when there is no hope?
Arwen: There is still hope.
Elrond: ::Walks towards window and looks out:: If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality.
::Arwen sees a vision of her future as Elrond speaks. She is dressed as a queen in mourning garb and looking down upon Aragorn, a crown on his brow, Andúril in his hand, and dead. Mourners are walking around the altar, paying their final respects. Arwen is weeping.::
Elrond: Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world.
::The body of Aragorn is now cast as a monument in stone. Arwen stands before the monument, veiled and in black.::
Elrond: But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt. As nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world has changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.
::Still veiled in black, Arwen is walking alone through the deserted woods of Lothlórien.::
Elrond: ::Tuning to Arwen:: Arwen... there is nothing for you here, only death.
::The vision ends and Arwen weeps with sadness and fear. Elrond comes to sit beside his daughter and raises a hand to her cheek.::
Elrond: A im, ú-'erin veleth lîn? (Do I not also have your love?)
Arwen: ::Crying and moving into her father’s embrace:: Gerich meleth nîn, ada. (You have my love, father)
There's always a possibility that we will outlive the people we love, we'll have to stay back and watch the world change, die, decay while we seem to stay so far behind, not aging fast enough, not dying fast enough, forever wishing we were with the ones we loved and watching others die. Sometimes the sacrifice is all too great, but sometimes we have to decide for our people, our family and friends, instead of deciding for ourselves to live, to survive and hope to see the ones we love again.

Hobbits. I don't know what else to say. This part is hilariously ominous by way of hobbits. Sam is still my favorite character and he tickles me with his humor. Gollum and Smeagol have thier little go (they are one and the same, but each a different personality in one skitzo body) There isn't much that I can say, this little piece of the movie is made for your enjoyment, i hope you find it as clever as i did, and i hope it brings a smile to your face.
Gollum(evil half): We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precioussss. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitsesss. Wicked, trickssssy, falssse!
Sméagol(weird kind of nice half): No! Not Master.
Gollum: Yes, precious. False. They will cheat you, hurt you, lie.
Sméagol: Master’s my friend.
Gollum: *Tauntingly* You don’t have any friends. Nobody likes YOU...
Sméagol: ::Covers his ears:: Not listening. Not listening.
Gollum: You’re a liar and a thief.
Sméagol: ::Shaking his head:: Nope.
Gollum: Mur…derer…!
Sméagol: ::Starts to weep and whimper:: Go away.
Gollum: Go away! ::Cackles:: HAHAHAHA!!
Sméagol: ::Weeping and in a small voice:: I hate you. I hate you!
Gollum: *Fiercely* Where would you be without me? *Gollum, gollum*. I saved us. It was me. We survived because of me!
Sméagol: *Resolute* Not anymore.
Gollum: ::Startled:: What did you say?
Sméagol: Master looks after us now. We don’t need you.
Gollum: What?
Sméagol: Leave now and never come back.
Gollum: No!!
Sméagol: *Louder* Leave now and never come back!
Gollum: ::Growls and bares his teeth:: Arrrgh!!!
Sméagol: LEAVE. NOW. AND. NEVER. COME. BACK!
::Sméagol pants and then looks around.::
Sméagol: We... we told him to go away! And away he goes, preciousss. ::He hops around in joy and does a little dance.:: Gone, gone, gone! Sméagol is free!
::The next day, while the hobbits were resting, Sméagol comes back with two rabbits and drops them onto Frodo’s lap.::
Sméagol: Look! Look! See what Sméagol finds! Hehehe! Hahaha!
::Frodo looks at up him with bloodshot eyes. He smiles at Sméagol and looks at Sam. Sméagol raises a fist in self-congratulation and dances around. He then picks up one of the rabbits and snaps the rabbit's back in front of Frodo.::
Sméagol: They are young, tender. They are nice. Yes they are! Eat them! Eat them!
::He bites and tears into the raw meat. Sam rushes over and snatches the rabbit out of Gollum’s hands::
Sam: You’ll make him sick, you will, behaving like that! There’s only one way to eat a brace of coneys.
::A pot of stew is simmering over a fire.::
Sméagol: ::Looking into the pot:: Argh!! What’s he doing! Stupid fat hobbit! You ruins it!
Sam: What’s to ruin? There’s hardly any meat on ‘em.
::A faint calling sound catches the attention of Frodo.::
Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
Gollum: What’s taters, preciousss? What’s taters uh?
Sam: PO-TAY-TOES! Boil ‘em. Mash ‘em. Stick ‘em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish....
Sméagol: ::Sticks out his tongue in disgust:: Pbbbttt!!
Sam: Even you couldn’t say no to that. ::He takes a sip of the stew::
Sméagol: Oh yes we could! Spoiling nice fish... ::scrambles up close to Sam:: Give it to usss rrraw... and wrrriggling! ::Makes sickeningly happy face.:: You keep nasty chips. ::Hops away::
I guess I'm done putting in little snip-it's of the best movie ON THE PLANET. ok... Pirates of the Caribbean is up there and so is the Fellowship, but I can endulge myself... lol. See you later!!!!!
