Even fans of the Lord of the Rings do not know that this actor played a second secret role in `The Fellowship of the Ring ”
From time to time, a new funny fact on the production of The Lord of the Rings The trilogy is discovered, then the community of fans obsessed intensely on this subject until a new funny fact arrives. Recently, one of these trivia facts strangely puts Hugo Tissage talk to each other The Lord of the Rings: The Communion of the Ring. It turns out that he has not only one, but rather two roles in this film. This second secret character is not as obvious as Elrond, howeverAnd you have to be careful to see it – or, better still, hear – but, once you have found it, you will simply have to report it to anyone listening.
Hugo Weaving expresses Isildur in the character’s only line in the trilogy
Silence (Harry Sinclair) is perhaps the most important character in the second age of the middle land, being the man who refuses to launch the only ring in the fires of the Mount Doom and to end the threat of Sauron once and for all. The prologue sequence in The communion of the ring shows how he cuts the relic of the hand of the Lord of Darkness and, later, Elrond recounts leading Isildur in the mountains to destroy the only ring, but he is refused. Everyone remembers the now corrupt features of Isildur while he looks at Elrond and said to him: “No.”
However, the voice that says “no” does not belong to Harry Sinclair, who plays Isildur, but to Hugo Weaving. It takes a long time to review the scene, increasing the volume and paying attention to it, but, after all, we can confirm that The voice coming out of Isildur’s mouth is indeed Hugo Weaving. Thus, in this scene, Elrond, played by weaving, tells Isildur to throw the only ring in the fire, and Isildur, expressed by weaving, refuses. This is the only moment in the trilogy when two characters expressed by the same actor talk to each other.
This scene is undoubtedly the most important moment of the second age, and playing it on the big screen is a huge honor, but, although it is Harry Sinclair that we see Isildur playing, it is not him that we intend to express Isildur. What makes the most strange is that This line is in fact the only line that isehur has throughout the trilogy, made up of a single wordAnd again, it is not the voice of his interpreter that we hear.
Harry Sinclair’s voice did not seem corrupt enough to Peter Jackson
The reason why Peter Jackson Decided not to go with Harry Sinclair’s voice for the only line of his character in the trilogy is just as bizarre as the fact itself, but it makes sense. These are actually good friends, and Sinclair has already been part of other Jackson films. Although there is no official confirmation, it is widely known among the fans that Jackson threw him as Isildur because Sinclair was the most “more corrupt” person he knewAnd everyone considers Isildur almost as the definition of corruption of the ring alone.
There was only one problem. Sinclair may seem corrupt, according to Jackson, but he does not ring him. It is not difficult to confirm, because he spoke in other films by Peter Jackson, as one of his first horrors of comedy, 1992 Dead (Or Brain). There is nothing wrong with his voice, but Jackson did not think that Sinclair looked “corrupted” for Isildur. He therefore turned to Hugo Weaving, who recorded the word “no” in ADR, which Jackson then used to replace the voice of Sinclair The communion of the ring.
In the context of the film, however, replacing the voice of Sinclair with the weaving actually works, but for a completely different reason. When we hear it, that is part of a sequence of flashback in which Elrond tells Gandalf (Ian McKellen) the events of this fateful day, and Weaving’s voice works as Elrond himself remembering what Isildur saidIt is therefore logical that we would hear Elrond’s voice out of Isildur’s mouth. Whether it was what Peter Jackson wanted to be unknown, but the fact is that in the end, everything worked perfectly – except for Sinclair, perhaps.
Fans of the Lord of the Rings have an endless thirst for fun acts on the production of the film
Peter Jackson The Lord of the Rings The trilogy is really a gift that continues to give in the sense that there are always new funny facts, like Hugo Weaving having two roles, to discover. The production of any film is a complex process, but the trilogy was even longer and more demanding, therefore new factoids like this are constantly discovered. This has even become a source of cheerfulness for fans, who transform these things into jokes insideSo, from now on, you bet that everyone will point out that Isildur’s voice is actually that of Elrond every time you look The communion of the ring.
Another excellent example of how it works is the scene The Lord of the Rings: the two towers When Aragorn kicked the head of a cut orca and lets escape a strong cry. Although it could simply seem an excellent acting on the part of Viggo Mortensen (and it is, indeed), that the cry was partly because it broke its toe by kicking at that time, and Fans feel obliged to report it to anyone listening each time they look at him. These stupid customs are part of the joys of being fans of something, and in fact, The Lord of the Rings is among the most silly as possible. If you were not part of it, dear reader, now you are, and it has become your mission too.
The Lord of the Rings: The Communion of the Ring is available to broadcast on HBO Max.
