![]() ![]() A pint, some food, and a warm bed and you`re off. Bree is one of those places you don’t want to be hanging out for too long. #Tales from the void pharoh sauron skin#Plus, anything said in Black Speech makes my skin crawl.Īfter this fearsome experience, the urgency of reaching Bree becomes predominant.Īh, Bree. This scene does not entail any music only sound effects designed to transform the situation from a light one to a terrifying one and to give the viewer a taste of the evil and power of the Ring itself. It needed to capture everything, the Rider, his menacing presence and the effect he has on all living things, the Hobbits’ fear of the unknown creature standing above them, the power of the Ring and his influence on Frodo and the overall change in atmosphere. Well, simple in the way we perceive it, but complicated in the way it was filmed. It introduces the evil and terror in one simple scene. This is a fear-inducing scene for anyone who watches the film for the first time. I, on the other hand, fear the ironclad hand opening my shower curtain. For the Hitchcock generation, I imagine they fear the knife while alone in the shower. Every time I watch this scene at night, I become frightened. On the one hand, you get to see the Wraith up close and well, not as personal, but you fear what might be hiding under that cloak. Merry uses his distraction to throw him off track by throwing the bag with the food a bit further away. The Black Rider is distracted for a moment. Thankfully, Sam distracts him just in time to prevent Frodo from putting it on. However, he is unable to gain control over his actions and is lead by the will of the Ring itself. The Black Riders` obsession in finding is ever greater when in its proximity.įrodo knows, as Gandalf had told him, that if he put the Ring on, the Wraiths will find him. As he takes it out of his pocket, the Black Rider gets a better whiff. And Frodo without willing moves his finger ever closer to the Ring. Frodo starts losing his grip on himself and begins to fall under the same spell as the worms, the spider and the centipede are under. ![]() The Hobbits start feeling the fear and creepiness that hovers over them, without even seeing it. As the Nazgûl leans over to smell and his hands touch the ground, so do the centipedes, the spiders and the worms start coming out of the ground as if he is calling upon them. Frodo looks up in terror as he spots the horses bleeding and pierced hoof and the Black Rider`s ironclad foot dismounting the horse. This could be sole because of the Ring and the power it emanates from his pocket.Īs the Black Rider dismounts the horse Pippin, Merry and Sam start to wonder what this really is. Frodo, on the other hand, can feel the presence of evil, without seeing it, he knows something is coming after him. They simply follow it’s all the same to them because they only want to start eating the food found in the bag. The gang takes cover in a light mood, not understanding why they have to get off the road in the first place, but they also don’t second guess Frodo`s instruction. This scene is not only masterfully filmed, but every aspect of it has been made with great care and meaning. This is the first time that any of our characters in the scene sense danger and evil, although they don’t quite understand it yet. The nearest we come to them is in the epic scene of one hovering over the roots of a tree, trying to smell and locate the Ring. However, now they are these twisty spirits that are no more than apparitions, covered with a dark cloak. They resemble themselves as they once were. That is the only thing keeping them, not alive, but not dead, as an obsessive spirit purposefully roaming Middle-Earth to find it. They are drawn to its call, they want it back so they could regain their strength and become reincarnated and powerful. The incredible pull they sense when the Ring is put on a finger can only be imagined. Their own existence depends on finding the Ring. These former nine Kings of Men are the most faithful servants Sauron ever had. The first inhabitants of this parallel universe we encounter, are the Black Riders. So, the take-over formula is to simply promise a share of the power or, even better, manipulate to a point of disease and disarm. Corrupting Peoples is not all that hard, as it turns out. None are important only the Lord of the Ring himself, everyone else is a simple pawn in his chess game. The power of this dark world gathers all evil to it and corrupts susceptible characters to its will. This reality is a much more “members only” zone, where few enter and remain sane to tell the tale. Within it a great evil festers, waiting patiently to ensnare another carrier of its world`s portal, the Ring. There exists a parallel world to the known reality of Middle-Earth. ![]()
