Haldir Arrives at Helm's Deep

Haldir and wooden elves arrival at Helm's Deep scene from The Lord of The Rings "Two Towers"

I DO NOT OWN THE VIDEO. IT IS A SCENE FROM "THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS."

This scene is powerful. Elves are nothing if not prideful. To willingly march to almost certain death for an old allegiance is inspiring.

Even though the Elves helping wasn't in the book, it was such a good move of PJ's part, cause everyone loves the Elves

What’s great is that the thing Aragorn does with his hand at 1:10 is like a serious hug for elves. Aragorn does the elf hug, and goes ‘Nope, doesn’t convey my feelings enough’ and goes for the human hug; and Haldir is just like this is happening’ and awkwardly pats him on the back. It’s so small and silly, but I love it.

I was an extra on set in this scene; I was one of the blonde elves standing on the wall with a long bow. There were two days of shooting in which Haldir (Craig Parker) was doing sword combat with the Uruk-hai and various other stunts. I recall one where he jumped onto the shoulders of an Uruk-hai, stabbed it in the top of the head then somersaulted off as it fell down dead. Pity that more of Haldir and his fighting didn’t end up in the final cut (or even the extended edition).

This is my favorite scene of The Two Towers. The Elves, immortal and beautiful creatures, forfeit their immortal lives to stand side by side with their allies in a hopeless battle, so the humans wouldn´t die alone. That´s so powerful, i always get the shivers watching this scene.

I love how Aragorn just automatically goes for the hug and Haldir's like
what
wha-ok
yeah ok

[VikingrJesus]

Fact: this is NOT in the book.
Side fact: This scene is still awesome!

You can really see the renewal of hope in the men's eyes as they see the elves. Brilliant directing for a wonderful scene

[Phyxsius]

I'm usually a bit of a book purist, but this is one of my favourite scenes and still gives me the chills almost 20 years later.

Love the attention to detail. Legolas looks amazing compared to the humans he's surrounded by because of his elven blood, but when stood next to Haldir he looks more dishevelled and dirty from long travel and battle compared to the fresher, cleaner Haldir.

[ItsKitchBro]

For anyone wondering, the reason the elves turned when Legolas and Haldir greeted, its because Legolas is the son of Thranduil, the king of Mirkwood, making him his prince. It was the Evles way of standing at attention for royalty.

Edit: the controversy this has started in the comments 😂

[MiaMia-sxxc]

I love how legolas seem proud because the elves joined them.

[PotterMarauder]

i always loved Legolas' face at 1:25 "hehe back with my badass elf brothers we are so cool" XD

[manolococcia]

"We are proud to fight alongside men once more".
What an underrated line. One of the best of the trilogy cause it's able to rievocate and condensate all the sufferances Humans and Elves lived togheter throughout the eres.

[rickblaine]

This is one of the most tear jerking scenes in the whole trilogy for me, right along with “you bow to no one” and “I can carry you”.
Yes, it’s relatively minor, yes, it’s not even in the books, and yet it always has an amazing effect on me.

[mrbulbasore]

Sorry we didn't arrive sooner, we had to stop for a our hourly hair brushing.

[sarahmoller]

how he smiles when aragorn hugs him surprisingly... priceless. :)

[RomanHistoryFanAD]

"That's is no orc horn" said legolas. "no" said gimli that is domino pizza delivering my large meat feast".

[soulshackles]

Easily one of the most epic scenes in the trilogy. Haldir is so underrated.

[orangefox]

The amount of honor in this scene is emotionally moving. To risk death when immortal to fight for one’s ally is an ultimate act of honor
