Oh, yes, I agree! Such an absolutely amazing scene. There are no words for how much I adore it. So inspirational and epic and memorable and goddamn perfect before they charge into battle <3

I remember getting all misty eyed here. Even on a third viewing in the cinema at the time. Thats a wonderful scene, pitched perfectly by Viggo.

I see so many actors coming back for The Hobbit. Think we might get an Aragorn cameo? Although technically, he only meets Frodo, Merry & Pip in FoTR, i cant remember if he ever met/crossed paths with Bilbo?

^Hmmm dunno. Maybe we can get a glipse of him with hanging with Gandalf? Ha, but no I doubt it.

OMG. "I see in your eyes... the same fear that would take the heart of me..... A day may come when the courage of man fails... BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!" I was just quoting by heart now so pardon me if it wasn't verbatim but oh! that speech!

Or a glimpse of him speaking to Elrond in Rivendell - yes, I'll take every little thing

I would take that too. Which might even work considering he was raised there. Im not sure of the time lines of this story and when Aragorn left Rivendell.

I have an unhealthy love for this line. The way he says it to Eowyn.

I couldnt help but go: Yeah! Cos he loves his Elvish queen!
Aragorn: It is but a shadow and a thought that you love. I cannot give you what you seek.

As an A/E shipper, that lines kills me, obviously. His delivery is perfect. That whole scene actually I find heartbtreaking, even more so in the extended version. The way he brushes her cheek... he's so sorry for breaking her heart.

“Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!” source

I bawled my eyes out. And when he sings at the coronation
