"I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."

Rest in peace, Bernard Hill. ❤️💮

No fans should have to bury their king...
Rest in piece, Bernard Hill. You really WERE Théoden.

[Blargle-zn]

RIP Bernard Hill, your spirit shall find its way to the halls of your fathers.

Gandalf's soft prayer for Theodred is one of those small things that make a great movie into a magical one.

[aweha]

They guy who played Theoden is an amazingly good actor. Such gravitas, charisma. He knocked this role out of the park and made him one of the best characters in the triology.

[TheSuperTroutMan]

He was strong in life. His spirit will find its way to the halls of his fathers.

Rest in Peace, Bernard Hill

Christopher Tolkien was strong in life and his soul shall find its way to the hall of his father.  RIP Christopher Tolkien.

Howard Shore's score on this was incredible.

[Thingamajigs]

scenes like this remind me how deep this film was.

[tindomul]

I think this is one of the most beautiful scenes in the trilogy.

"No parent should ever have to bury their child." I keep in contact with the parents of a good friend of mine who died some years ago in a car accident. He had just graduated and was starting a new life. Whenever I watch this scene, I think of them.

Gandalf: "Westu hál. Ferðu, Théodred, Ferðu." (Be-thou well. Go-thou, Théodred, go-thou.)

[mafo]

"No parent should have to bury their child" ... so true and if only more people understood their meaning. Bernard Hill really owns in this scene. Probably the strongest scene in the entire trilogy together with Eomer breaking down when he finds Eowyn appearantly dead on the Fields of Pellenor.

[bernlin]

RIP Bernard Hill, you elevated this film series to something beyond "just a movie" with this scene. Very worldly and extraordinary, all at once <3 Farewell, Brother and Friend

[jegsdinogod]

this is like Shakespeare. Such artful dialogue and performances.

brilliant trilogy.

[alexanderbean]

I think this might be the most beautiful scene in the trilogy. Theoden begins as the stoic king. His words are poetic and beautiful and he delivers them with poise. Then he utters a more simple phrase, that no parent should have to bury their child, and breaks down. In that moment the King is just a man who lost his boy.

[TheLordOfCatan]

Came here after hearing of Bernard Hill's death. 'He was strong in life. His spirit will find its way to the halls of his father'

[Aussieroth]

0:44 Yeah... This is the moment where Theoden just gave up having a king's fortitude about losing an heir, and showed that he is a father who lost a son he loved dearly.

[Warrior_of_Sparta]

Rest in Peace Bernard, his acting is terrific in this scene 😢

[Crosby]

I think in hundreds of years we may see this become a Shakespearean-esque lore. It is powerfully poetic and ethereal. Hard not to swell with tears at these sort of scenes.
