I love this scene because it's realistic but sad. You go back to a place you love expecting it to be the same and then realizing that it can't be the same because YOU'VE changed.

I love that nobody in the Shire acknowledges their existence like they should. They're so removed from reality that they had no idea their lives were even in danger in the first place.

Samwise Gamgee has one of the greatest endings for any character in all of fiction. He restores the Shire and makes it even better, marries the woman of his dreams, has 13 kids with her, serves as the mayor of The Shire for seven consecutive 7-year terms, he’s appointed by King Elessar as a Counsellor of the North-kingdom, and Elessar gives him the Star of the Dúnedain. And after all of that when his wife passes away and his children have families of their own Sam sails from the Grey Havens to the Undying Lands to reunite with his friend Frodo.

I think Tolkien would've loved this scene in particular. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of a soldier returning from war. Tolkien knew that feeling all too well being a WWI veteran.

Lord of the Rings is really about Sam facing untold dangers just so he could gain enough courage to ask a pretty hobbit-lass out. True story.

Each of the four hobbits were fundamentally changed by their experiences:
Pippin became more responsible
Merry became more selfless
Sam became more courageous
And sadly, Frodo lost the joy in his heart
For better, for worse, they'd changed

it's beautiful that in the book when pippin has a son he calls him Faramir.

I love how Sam broke the tension by going to going to Rosie. It instantly lighted the mood and everyone starts smiling and laughing.

Frodo Baggins, The Ringbearer. Hero of the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.

Meriadoc Brandybuck, A True Esquire of the Riders of Rohan. Survivor of the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

Peregrin Took, A Guard of the Citadel of Minas Tirith. and Survivor of the Siege of Minas Tirith.

Samwise Gamgee, There is no title grand enough to describe this badass.

I just love how Sam at the start of the trilogy is too scared to ask a girl to dance. Then he goes through all the trauma of the war and saving middle earth and realised that if he can do all that talking to a woman shouldn’t seem so hard. You can just see the wheels turning in his head before he gets up and talks to her.

“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.”


― JRR Tolkein

That change of expression on Frodo’s face at Sam’s wedding always gets me. He wants to be happy, he wants to go back to how it was, but it just cut him too deep. He can’t even let himself feel happiness in arguably one of the happiest times there could be, because even though the ring is gone, he still has the pain of carrying it with him permanently. It’s honestly incredibly sad.

That moment between the four hobbits in the pub is one of my favorite in the whole trilogy and something I wish was in more movies like this.  The look says, "Guys, what do we do now? After all we've seen, after all we've experienced, how do we go back to our normal lives?" It's not just on a trauma level, it's how one can expect to go back to a mundane life after such grand adventures. It's something probably every hero should have after his great quest or task is done, just a "Well, it's done. Now what the hell do I do with my life?"

It also captures the feeling of displacement. Not just because the other hobbits are completely oblivious to what happened and don't even care, but because of their experiences, the foursome don't fit in anymore.  As one review said, "Wow. We have been outside the cave. We can never relate to these people again."

Any person who has joined the military, served for years and came back to their home town understands this scene.

There's one _extremely_ sublte - but important - detail that Howard Shore (the movies' composer) mentioned, regarding the use of music in the LotR movies.  When we first heard the theme of The Shire, back in The Fellowship of the Ring, the main melody was played on the *tin whistle*.  At the story's conclusion, when the hobbits have finally returned home, the theme is played again, but has changed and evolved, and is now played on the *flute*, echoing how the four hobbits have changed over the course of the trilogy.
It's not a detail that many would pick up (heck, I didn't know about it until recently), but it definitely goes to show the length of detail that the film's producers went to in order to fully realize the LotR story.

The *silence* on the table - the most subtle and yet most powerful scene of all the three movies...

The bar scene hits differently. 4 young men who've all been through trials and hardship, and let's face it, they've been through and survived a war. They realize no one else will ever understand the things they endured. The bond between these 4 will be forever strong, as with most veterans.

Notice that hobbit with a huge pumpkin is treated like a hero, people gather around him and congratulate him, but heroes of middle earth are sitting alone and silently, nobody in shire would even Belive their story. Great scene

That look they give each other...they know their lives will never be the same. Its heartbreaking, especially if one can relate.

I bet if they invited Aragorn to the wedding even being the king of Gondor he would’ve shown up just showing what an amazing person he is with even how busy he is he would’ve made the time to attend
