R.I.P Bernard Hill.

Long live the King of Rohan.

When he says "...and Rohan will answer" and the music kicks it

Legendary

The pause between “Gondor calls for aid” and “Rohan will answer” is true acting magic

[NP-zldz]

'And Rohan will answer.' 
Drops mic.

A couple of friends and me were watching this a few years ago at my apartment. During the pause between 'Gondor calls for aid' and 'Rohan will answer', one of my friend's cell phone rang. And wouldn't you know it, it was the Jeopardy! theme. We still rib him about it every time his phone goes off by saying 'Is that Gondor calling for aid?'

I love how theoden accepts Merry’s request. Just because he’s a small hobbit doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be able to pledge his life for the sake of all he loves. Theoden doesn’t dismiss him or make him feel lesser than when some might have. He made a great king and leader

[alsenar]

"So...it is before the walls of Minas Tirith, that Doom of our Time will be decided."

What an Epic line!

[asellape]

The shot of theoden when he's thinking, that shot is just beautiful
D02/M06/Y2024 - Great work by Mr. Bernard Hill. A few weeks late, but riposare in pace, Mr. Hill. Thank you for a wonderful performance.

[FallenOne]

I love the difference between how Theoden and Denethor accept Merry and Pippin's loyalty and service.

[AwashimaSeriLieutenant]

I like how Legolas makes a reference to the war in the north, where armies of goblins, trolls, wargs and orcs march to Erebor

Bernard Hill was born to be King Theoden. An outstanding acting performance.

"Now is the hour,
Riders of Rohan!
Oaths you have taken,
Now fulfill them all!
To lord and land!"

What a short and strong speech from Eomer

[jj_grabes]

I love how Theoden makes Merry stand up. Shows you a bit of his true nature as a ruler.

[TheEgesko]

Imagine If someone accidentally lit the beacons. And after they arrive they see that there was no siege at all lol

[Johannes_Piotr]

Eomers short speech is so epic. He is a very much underated hero imo

[nilocblue]

Theoden was such a true kingly figure. The movie was named after Aragorn, but damn, Theoden showed him how to be a be a badass king.

[lordshell]

Always liked the simplicity of Bernard Hill's response. No explanations, no excuses. Everyone knows he has every reason to say 'fuck you' to Gondor but he just does it anyway and no one questions it.

He doesn't get nearly enough credit for this role.

[willemverheij]

Bernard's hill portrayal of Theoden might be the best portrayal of a king I have seen in any movie. Such a great actor.

I've really started appreciating Merry more recently, and scenes like this one are why. As goofy and fun-loving as he is, when he can tell the stakes are high and people are serious he's the first one to jump to action, regardless of the danger.
He came up with the plan to cross the river when they were being chased by the nazgul, and led the way there. He charged a cave troll to save frodo. He turned Treebeard around to show him Saruman's devastation, ultimately convincing the ents to fight. When Rohan was mustering a fighting force to protect Gondor, he offered himself up right away. And when the goddamn Witch king was gonna kill Eowyn, Merry stabbed him. Merry is the dude you want at your back when the chips are down.
