The Evenstar - The Two Towers

It is night time. Aragorn sits smoking his pipe, thinking of Arwen. He appears lying sleeping on a couch in Rivendell

Arwen: (v.o.) The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane. It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart. Go to sleep.

(fades into a place where Aragorn and Arwen are.)

Aragorn: I am asleep. This is a dream.

Arwen: Then it is a good dream.

(Arwen and Aragorn kiss.)

Arwen: Sleep.

(Arwen gets up and walks toward a place where she can look outside. Aragorn looks at her)

Aragorn: Minlû pedich nin i aur hen telitha. *You told me once this day would come.*

Arwen: Ú i vethed na i onnad. Boe bedich go Frodo. Han bâd lîn *This is not the end…it is the beginning. You must go with Frodo That is your path.*

Aragorn: Dolen i vâd o nin. *My path is hidden from me.*

Arwen: Si peliannen i vâd na dail lin. Si boe ú-dhannathach. *It is already laid before your feet. You cannot falter now.*

Aragorn: Arwen…

Arwen: Ae ú-esteliach nad, estelio han, estelio ammen. *If you trust nothing else, trust this…*

(Arwen touches the Evenstar)

Arwen: …trust us.

(Arwen and Aragorn kiss)

(Scene changes to Aragorn walking besides Éowyn)

Éowyn: Where is she? The woman who gave you that jewel.

Elrond: (v.o.) Our time here is ending.

(Fades to a places where Elrond and Aragorn are talking)

Elrond: Arwen’s time is ending. Let her go. Let her take the ship into the west. Let her bear away her love for you to the Undying Lands. There it will be ever green.

Aragorn: But never more than memory.

Elrond: I will not leave my daughter here to die.

Aragorn: She stays because she still has hope.

Elrond: She stays for you. She belongs with her people.

(Aragorn walks away from Elrond. Scene goes to when the Fellowship were about to leave Rivendell)

Arwen: Nach gwannatha sin? Ma nathach (nauthach?) hi gwannathach or minuial archened? *Is this how you would take your leave? Did you think you could ship away at first light- unnoticed?*

Aragorn: Ú-ethelithon. *I will not be coming back*

Arwen: Estelio guru lîn ne dagor. Ethelithach. *You underestimate your skill in battle. You will come back.*

Aragorn: Ú-bedin o gurth ne dagor. *It is not of death in battle that I speak.*

Arwen: O man pedich? *What do you speak of?*

Aragorn: Edra le men, men na guil edwen, haer o auth a nîr a naeth. *You have a chance for another life away from war…grief…despair.

Arwen: Why are you saying this?

Aragorn: I am mortal. You are Elf-kind. It was a dream, Arwen. Nothing more.

Arwen: I don’t believe you.

(Aragorn opens his hand to give the Evenstar back to her)

Aragorn: This belongs to you.

Arwen: It was a gift.

(Arwen closes Aragorn’s hand)

Arwen: Keep it.

(Scene goes back to Aragorn walking with Éowyn)

Éowyn: My lord?

Aragorn: She is sailing to the Undying Lands with all that is left of her kin.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

[keybladechosn]

Every scene with Arwen and Aragorn are shot so intimately, I feel like I'm intruding. Like I should be apologizing for interrupting a personal moment. Few actors and directors can convey such intimacy. Just brilliant work from Viggo, Liv and Peter Jackson

[MrBjornibjorn]

Eowyn at the end of this clip: "Oh shit, an elf? I cant beat that"

[TheAttlier]

The pain in a mans eyes when he must give up paradise to walk into hell willingly, having left paradise to fight through hell just so you can keep it.... I could feel it in Vigo's eyes... Amazing actor!

[JonatanCarmiOK]

Since the very first moment I saw this scene, I realised it was going to be the best love scene I had ever seen. It still is the best love scene I have ever seen.

[aericabison]

Beautiful to see two loving, caring men express their love for the same woman- one her lover, the other her father.

[denizeskici]

I liked that Arwen, as a wise elf, was a mentor to Aragorn. It's nice that she reassures Aragorn about his doubts and supports him in becoming king. She did everything she could to make him the person he was meant to be.🤴

[christophermcneela]

They are soulmates. True love can win even in this world.
He fights for his queen. He fights in the right way. By not fighting. By being.

[natscrest]

Seeing this scene for the first time made me tear up and my chest feel tight. It's still unbelievable to me even now how beautifully this was done.

[henryfraipont]

This is the most sentimental scene in cinema.

[denizeskici]

Liv Tyler is incredible. she's like a real elf. she is so beautiful.❤

[SinaTehrani-dlzb]

She’s a real elf and Aragorn is the king of men. All the actors are charismatic, the stage decor, great costumes and the music is a masterpiece that conveys the feeling of heaven. Now the series is made and it ruins our beautiful memories of the movie

[MrDeengels]

Eowyn: where’s the woman who gave you that jewel?
Aragorn: She sailed to the undying lands.
Eowyn: YES!!

One thing I've noticed, is that listening to the soundtrack of a movie many times not only lets you appreciate it much more on its own, but then once you become really familiar with it and then watch the scene again knowing the soundtrack well, it makes the scene that much better. I used to think this scene was super cheesy, but now, having heard this song many times, I can actually feel the beauty of the scene.

[BlahKDubstep]

Probably the only time Aragorn and Elrond ever argued

[Muircetach]

Those two really capture the idea that their mother tongue is Elvish and not Common.

Meanwhile the entire White Council in the Hobbit is always talking in Common.

[annanardo]

as I was saying, the elves are as magnetic as the North Pole. 😍

[Malsagov]

2:41 you can really see the sadness in Aragon's face, together with the music, really heartbreaking

[ender]

I have no word to describe what I feel, because they have not invented it yet. It is something deeply enchanting, as smooth as the air and at the same time as tragic as being alone. Just to give a very distant idea...

[Perhapsawiseman]

I never realized this scene was a flashback.
