Aragorn Sceamed Elendil?

[SamwiseGamgeeOTS]

I searched for this and didn't see a thread about it. I was watchin FOTR again (for the umteenth millionth time), and noticed something weird. Toward the end of the movie, I thought that I heard Aragorn scream the name of Elendil when he jumped off of that little parapet thing (not remembering name right now.) It's right after he tells Frodo to 'Run!' and the Uruk's come. Can someone help me, or am I just hearing weird things? Maybe he screamed another name........Mooter! RALLY UP AND HELP ME! soo confuzed. :confused:

[olsonm]

Yes, he cried Elendil. :)

[Lalaith]

Why should he not scream Elendil?

[Elf Girl]

It is customary in ME to cry the name of what you fight for, your homeland, etc. when you do a brave act. (i.e. Frodo cries "The Shire!" when he stabs the cave troll in the books.)

[Lizra]

That was his battle cry. In Moria, Boromir cries (screams sounds like something you do at a horror movie! :D) GONDOR!, Aragorn shouts ELENDIL! I can't remember if the various hobbits have a battle cry when the need arises.

[Lady of Rohan]

Like Elf Girl said, the hobbits do have a battle cry in the book, but in the movie, I think that they just scream,"AHHH!!"(at least thats what they did in Moria).

SPOON!!!








not in the face, not in the face

[Sween]

Aragorn also crys Aundril for the dundain then emeor cries 'random sword name' for the mark.

[SamwiseGamgeeOTS]

well, at least this means that I'm not just hearing things. I'm surprised that PJ would put that in the movie....confuzing all those who haven't read the books. But, I personally think that PJ should have just said, "screw it" and made the movies thinking nothing for those who have not read the books.......but that just how I view it.........back on subject. Aragorn and Elendil. Don't you think he could have screamed like....Arwen or something else?

[azalea]

I could say something randy and inappropriate, but I won't.:)

As people said earlier, the point of yelling something is that you yell the name of your homeland or "house," the things you represent as a warrior. It wouldn't make sense for him to yell Arwen (although it might make sense to us), because that's not where he's fighting out of or who he represents. Now, Haldir for instance, would yell Lorien, but I don't think elves did that (or did they?) I don't know.

Ups, sorry.

Amon Hen, wasn't it?

[SamwiseGamgeeOTS]

now. see. that's what i thought, but I didn't want to say that and be wrong and sound really really stupid.

[Elessar the Elfstone]

Aragorn is heir to elendil so he probably shouts it to scare the orcs or somthin' I may be wrong though

[azalea]

I don't think the orcs knew who Elendil was (although I could be wrong), but I think it's more for the fighter's own benefit, as a rally cry for himself, as a way of reminding himself what he is fighting for and/ or why. Or it is as a way of letting the others who are fighting around him know who he "is."
OR if it is for the enemy's benefit (in this case, orcs), it is so they remember if they survive who it is who whupped 'em.:) (or that their last dying thought is the house/ homeland of the fighter who killed them, or if they survive they can tell the others back home about the fierce fighter of ___, and the next time one encounters him, they will then be scared.)

[IronParrot]

It's... from... the... book

[Bombadillo]

I didn't notice that in the movie, but I wouldn't be surprised. And I guess it is costomary to yell out what you're fighting for in ME, like how Sam yells "FRODO!" all the time. That's pretty cool.

[Lizra]

After much thought, I believe I would yell "Mommy"! :eek: :)

[Falagar]

Anybody here trains any sort of martial arts? Usually, when you kick something (or someone ;)) you scream, both to get out aggresion (sp?) and to scare your enemies.

[Wayfarer]

It's more than that. There's a physiological reason- to expel air from your lungs.

[BeardofPants]

Plus it's a good way to flex the stomach muscles in case your oponent feels so inclined to hit you there.

[Anglorfin]

In the books, by the time the Fellowship got to Amon Hen, Aragorn had the reforged Narsil (Anduril). So another reason he may have yelled "ELENDIL!" would be his joy that Elendil's sword was finally returning to battle.

well it doesnt seem like anyone else heard it but the Hobbits do use there battle cry in the movie... i cant remember if it was Merry or Pippin but when they jump on Boromir after he was teaching them how to use there swords one of them called "For the Shire"

[9FingeredFrodo]

i get it.......... o wow.

And also in Moria Sam was always yelling "Frodo!" right before he'd smack an orc in the face with a frying pan. So I think it is the custom in ME to yell out what you're fighting for.

I'll also point out that was Millane's 666th post.

But, I think, at that point he was looking for him... not screamin his name for a battle cry b/c they Also show Gandalf, Aragorn, Merry, and Pippin saying Frodo's name too if I'm not mistaken. :rolleyes:
